The wind has been too strong recently. If we don’t take the opportunity to go in and catch some fish, we may not have the chance in the future...
This is what Wang Jinli thinks. If the domestic Stardust 1 can sell 30 million units before it is discontinued, it will be the best. However, the suspension of sales does not mean the suspension of production. The subsequent Stardust 1 will be sold to various regions to exert its final residual heat.
.
The development model of Stardust Technology determines that they must squeeze out the last drop of utilization value of each product, maximize profits, and provide financial support for subsequent products and the development of Stardust Technology.
Of course, apart from the mobile phone business, Stardust Technology's most stable money-making business is lithium batteries. It obtains extremely low-cost raw materials through electronic waste recycling and regenerates products with quality levels far above average.
These batteries are used in various fields such as mobile phones, laptops, electric vehicles, automobiles, medical equipment, etc. Some brands that seem to be competing with Stardust Technology are also using their batteries.
The first is Lenovo. After receiving the customized battery pack from Stardust Technology, the battery life of their laptops was directly increased by one and a half hours. It immediately stood out among similar products and sales increased a lot.
They were originally the computer manufacturers with the highest market share in China. Now, they have once again beaten some computer manufacturers who were still using nickel-cadmium batteries and lead-acid batteries to the point where they were unable to fight back and had to change their strategies.
As a result, Stardust Technology's lithium battery business partners have increased a lot, but this is on the premise that Stardust Technology has not entered the notebook computer market, otherwise whether they can cooperate is still a question.
Chen Zifan really has no idea of entering the notebook computer market for the time being. When the time comes and he really wants to enter the notebook computer market, he will directly target all-round notebooks and come up with completely different products.
For example: the PC version of Stardust OS, but Windows is very popular. If you want to directly use Stardust OS to impact Windows, the probability of winning is very low. Chen Zifan has no intention of actually competing with Windows.
The PC version of Stardust OS will have a completely different development direction from Windows. The so-called all-round laptop is the upgraded model of Stardust Tablet Plus, with stronger performance, more functions, and the ability to connect to special products.
But Chen Zifan always believes that notebook computer products will only exist for a very short time in the development history of Stardust Technology, and mobile phones are more likely to become the ultimate winner, integrating the functions and features of all products...

At Apple's headquarters, looking at the various data in front of him, Steve Jobs's head was getting big. There was Stardust Technology in front of him, and Android and HTC in the back. They all came out to steal Apple's limelight. Can you bear this?
Jobs really endured it, because the current Apple 1 has not reached the level he expected at all. It is not only a problem with the Apple OS, but also the hardware level does not meet the requirements. When both meet the requirements, the cost is too high...
Apple's originally confident senior leaders and engineers have become increasingly silent. There is internal pressure on product development, external pressure from media and public opinion, Stardust, Android... maybe something will pop up next.
In fact, the current Apple 1 has surpassed the original Apple 1 in all aspects. If you have never seen the Stardust 1, it will be the product that Steve Jobs was most proud of in his life, but now it is not good enough.
But any further delay may cause Apple to miss its final opportunity to enter the market. After much deliberation, Jobs finally held a high-level meeting and announced: "In the last two months, we will do our best to build Apple 1!"
No matter what Apple 1 looks like in two months, Steve Jobs will hold a press conference to announce the birth of Apple's first smartphone to the world...

When it comes to what is the most popular event in China recently, it is naturally the launch of Hongqi OS. Even the old man walking in the park knows that as soon as Hongqi OS comes out, the era of smartphones will really come.
A technology company called "Red Flag Engineering Alliance" has appeared in the public eye. On the surface, it is a commercial company, but in fact... this is also to avoid suspicion. After all, having more vests sometimes leads to better development.
All mobile phone manufacturers can participate in the joint development of Hongqi OS. In just half a month, emerging Chinese mobile phone brands have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, all aiming for smartphones.
"Director Chen, here are statistics. From August 31st to September 13th, 89 mobile phone companies were established..."
Looking at the documents handed over by Zhao Wushang, Chen Zifan couldn't help but be curious: "Is it so fast to set up a company now? It only takes a few days!"
"Normally speaking, it is definitely not so fast, but now is a special period. Smartphones are the future development trend, and setting up a company will be much easier..."
"Okay, just pay more attention and pay attention to which of these new mobile phone brands is rising very fast and has a relatively novel development model."
"no problem."
Chen Zifan flipped through the documents and did not see the familiar king of cost-effectiveness. Instead, he saw some brands that had been popular for a while, such as: Coke mobile phone, Panda mobile phone...
The emergence of Stardust Technology has directly changed the future direction. In the future, more emerging mobile phone brands will join the smartphone market, and even some traditional home appliance brands are transforming and preparing to manufacture smartphones.
If nothing else happens, the era of "Chinese Cool Alliance" and "Huami ov" will not appear...
The Hongqi OS launch conference is approaching, but some major domestic mobile phone brands are not happy. A wave of operations by Stardust Technology has directly restricted their development:
"Stardust Technology has no idea what kind of pressure we are under. The component suppliers across the Pacific no longer sell products to us..."
"Taking action on Android, making an enemy of Google, and dragging us into trouble. Don't you know who it offended? Stardust Technology! You are so vicious!"
"Stardust Technology has limited all Chinese mobile phone brands to this three-thirds of an acre. Not only do we have to face imported brands, we also have to fight among ourselves..."
"Now that things have come to this, we can only take one step at a time. Stardust Technology, you guys want to be China's Samsung and Honda, but these alone are not enough!"
Not to mention other domestic mobile phone manufacturers, even Stardust Technology can't buy some components and sensors from overseas suppliers. If it offends Android to death, it will have to bear all kinds of retaliation from Google.
But Stardust Technology is really not afraid that these component suppliers will not sell to them. Ordinary mobile phone manufacturers may be afraid, but Chen Zifan doesn't care at all.
His countermeasures are also very simple. If you don't sell it to me, I have [Analysis of Copycats], I will copy it directly, and then license the technology to suppliers who have joined the Stardust Ecological Chain Plan to support their development.
Unless these component suppliers who do not supply Stardust Technology never let Chen Zifan see their products for the rest of his life, they will not be able to stop the development of Stardust Technology, and they will be better than others.
First [analyze the copycat], and then [synthesize and create] to achieve a more perfect effect. This rogue style of play allows Stardust Technology to not be afraid of any attacks, but there is one shortcoming of Chen Zifan:
Material.
Before the level of [Stardust Technology] reaches lv.80, there is no way to [analyze copycats] of some top materials, but judging from the current level of Stardust Technology, they don't need top materials to make products.
So this shortcoming is no longer a problem. It won't be used for the time being anyway. Just continue to develop products and gain profits by upgrading. When top-quality materials can be used, the level will be almost enough.
The so-called Stardust Ecological Chain Plan is a large investment that Chen Zifan is preparing to make. He will use funds and technology to forcibly support a group of suppliers to solve problems and become a new profit point.
A mobile phone has about 13 sensors, a car even has hundreds of sensors, and countless components... With so many accessories, it may not be realistic for Stardust Technology to cover them all.
The suppliers in the Stardust Supply Chain Plan are equivalent to half a subsidiary of Stardust Technology, similar to the future Tianma, Huaxing Optoelectronics, BOE... but they are different in product technology and implementation methods.
During the release of Red Flag OS, Stardust Technology and major domestic mobile phone manufacturers rarely became quiet. As they expected, Red Flag OS is a reskinned open source version of Stardust OS, and the source code is almost the same.
Moreover, the Red Flag Engineering Alliance also announced that the native version of Hongqi OS will be updated every year on September 15th. The meaning is very clear, which is to let domestic mobile phone manufacturers take the path of customized UI.
In addition to domestic mobile phone manufacturers, there are also many foreign mobile phone manufacturers who are paying close attention to the news of Hongqi OS and are preparing to join the Hongqi OS camp. They don’t care about Android Red Flag, they will use whichever one is easy to use!
The first official product of Android has not been released yet, but they have seen the engineering machine of Android system, the interface UI, the operation logic... it is simply too eye-catching, and it is not on the same level as Stardust OS.
Some foreign media also wildly declared that "the era of Android VS Hongqi is coming, and it will be a death sentence for traditional feature phones and traditional Internet companies..."
Putting aside the question of whether to die or not, judging from the current situation, the advantages of Stardust OS are more obvious, and the maturity of Stardust 1 is also very high, but people are generally more optimistic about the potential of Android system.
Because Stardust OS has insufficient foundation, Stardust Technology is an emerging brand. At least outsiders believe that Stardust Technology has limited R&D capabilities. Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are not famous for technology, but for marketing.
Comprehensive comparison, foreign media are still more optimistic that the Android system will surpass Stardust OS or Hongmeng formed by Hongqi OS in a short period of time and become the world's largest intelligent operating system.
At this time, one manufacturer had something to say: "We are not convinced. We are obviously the originator of the operating system. Why do you all think so highly of Android?"
It is Microsoft who is talking. They are already working hard to develop the WP system and prepare to turn Windows into a mobile terminal. If it is really successful and promoted, WP will be easier to use than Stardust OS and Android...
Microsoft has seen that the future is beckoning to them, and recently Nokia has also revealed its intention to cooperate with Microsoft. The world's number one and number two advertising company joins forces, who can stop it?
"What about Stardust, Hongqi, Android...the only smart operating system in the future is our WP!"
After the Hongqi OS press conference, major mobile phone manufacturers became busy and began to recruit talents in computers, programming, mobile phones, communications and other majors, and some tried to poach Stardust Technology with high wages.
After working for a long time, I discovered that the engineers of Stardust Network ignored them at all. This was only on the surface. They didn't know how many Stardust engineers were on the surface, let alone preparing to recruit people.
Ever since, you can often hear various roars at the headquarters of some mobile phone manufacturers: "Isn't it just that the salary is high and the house is provided! The real estate certificate is not given. We just paid 108 square meters + the real estate certificate and they didn't even come?"
In fact, it is not a matter of remuneration, but the combination of various comprehensive factors and the subtle influence of [Stardust Technology] on employees, making it almost impossible for these engineers to be poached as long as they join Stardust Technology.
Choosing Hongqi OS has become a foregone conclusion. All major mobile phone manufacturers have focused their efforts on developing operating systems, and there has been much less opposition to each other, presenting a "peaceful" scene.
In fact, they can also choose the Android system, but just like what some people said when targeting Stardust Technology: "We obviously have a better operating system, why choose a foreign one? What do you mean?"
Those who kidnap others morally will eventually be harmed by moral kidnapping. However, Chen Zifan also knows that the peace in front of him is only temporary. The contention of a hundred schools of thought in the early smartphone era and the brand war have just begun...
In order to meet the next challenge, whether it is Nokia, Apple, or other international brands, domestic mobile phone manufacturers... Chen Zifan believes that he must prepare early and come up with something new.
It is definitely impossible for Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet to be released in advance, and June 11 next year will still be chosen.
The only thing left to choose from is the limited edition color scheme of Stardust 1. Rather than saying it is a limited edition color scheme, it is better to say it is a limited edition back cover. The back cover of the limited edition Stardust 1 uses a material that breaks the conventional perception:
bamboo.
Not to mention consumers, even the technicians responsible for this project at Stardust Factory were a little dumbfounded after hearing this: "Bamboo can also be used as the back cover of mobile phones?"
But when they saw the product design drawings and finished product renderings of the Zhuyun version of Stardust 1, they immediately changed their attitude: "Do it! It must be done! If you really want to achieve this kind of finished product effect, what's the point of spending more time?"
Bamboo products themselves are fresh and beautiful, moisture-proof and mite-proof, and have a very long service life. After the back cover is made, it will be finely polished and then coated with a layer of maintenance oil, so that it can be plated at leisure...
A total of 100,000 units of the Bamboo Rhythm Edition Stardust 1 will be produced. Each unit will have a number from 10,000 to 100,000 below the Stardust logo, and will also have a customized Stardust OS theme.
Since the texture of each bamboo is unique, each of the 100,000 Bamboo Rhythm Edition Stardust 1 back covers produced is unique.
However, the bamboo back cover also has a disadvantage. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It cannot be directly machine-produced and used like the glass back cover. It also requires manual screening, fine polishing, and maintenance oil application.
