While Chen Zifan was staying at the Stardust Factory to adjust the planning plan, the outside world was already interpreting the purpose behind this "exchange and learning" of Stardust Technology?
All the major mainstream media agreed that Chen Zifan hopes to use this method to lead engineers to gain access to broader and deeper scientific and technological aspects. This is also in line with people's understanding, so various reports came out:
"Travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books! Encourage people to go to big cities to increase their knowledge! We also encourage young people to go to more different places to broaden their horizons! What they see and hear will become precious wealth in our lives!"
"Chen Zifan's experience tells us! Even if you have reached what people think of as 'success'! You still can't give up learning and hard work! Because there will always be more beautiful scenery waiting for us in the future!"
"You must go out and take a look. There are so many beautiful things in the world! Everything we strive for is not just for food and clothing. We should have a better future! A more beautiful life!"
"People who are better than us are still working hard! Who do we have to stop moving forward..."
Comments like this are endless. Many people who specialize in business speeches promote Chen Zifan as an inspirational case, and even review Stardust Technology. Even Xinghua Zhixing has become popular.
One is the best mobile phone brand in China, and the other is an electric vehicle brand that is booming and expanding rapidly. There is such a connection between the two, and then I think of the family background of Chen Zifan's family...
The world needs stories to rise~
Obviously, Chen Jianjun and Chen Zifan play such a role. Countless ordinary people hope to become young and promising technological stars and business upstarts like Chen Zifan, but becoming Chen Jianjun seems not too bad.
I have a happy family, I have earned enough money, I have realized my ideals in life, and I can enjoy life as much as I want.
The benefit of this is that more and more people have implicitly accepted the status of Stardust Technology, Stardust mobile phones, and even Xinghua Zhixing electric vehicles.
"Isn't the Stardust mobile phone the best? You say not? Then find a better one?"
"Isn't Xinghua electric car the best? You say not? Then why does it have the highest sales volume?"
To be honest, when Chen Zifan first saw all kinds of videos about him on major video websites, his mentality was a little depressed, but he quickly adjusted it. In the eyes of outsiders, he is indeed a model of success.
He has also adopted a default attitude towards the outside world's over-interpretation of the fact that he led a team of engineers to major research bases to "exchange and learn". What else would he do? Tell everyone that he just wants to copy technology?
A gentleman does not care about his heart, and there is no perfect person in the world. Suppose a person with a dark heart pretends to be a gentleman for some reason, and maintains this state until his death, then he is a gentleman.
People don't care whether his heart is dark or dirty, they only care about his actions.
Another point is that compared to the future era when "lying flat" is prevalent, Chen Zifan prefers the present. Few people in this land believe in any religion, but he feels something called "faith"
.
Who says that pursuing a better material and spiritual life does not count as "faith"? Although the outcome may not be good, at least you will not be spiritually empty in the process.
With the explosive sales of Stardust mobile phones and the popularity of WiFi, more and more people have joined the ranks of Stardust OS or Hongqi OS, and major Internet companies have also reaped the dividends of smartphones.
Since the release of Stardust 2, an average of 10 to 20 apps have been put on the Stardust app every day, and it has gradually shown a growth trend. Of course, there are also many apps that do not comply with the "regulations" and are removed from the shelves every day.
It’s not that Chen Zifan wants to target them, it’s actually that those apps started to let themselves go as soon as they passed the review. They did all kinds of naughty operations, and some tried to destroy Stardust OS through built-in Trojans...
I don’t know where the courage comes from.
Do you really think that the network security department and legal department of Stardust Technology are vegetarians? Especially the legal department, everyone is hungry every day, just thinking about improving performance, so they should upgrade to [Stardust Employees] as soon as possible.
According to information revealed by some cadres: As more and more employees advance to the level of [Stardust Employees] and Stardust Technology’s profitability increases, employee benefits will also be improved.
But the most discussed piece of news is:
"Stardust Technology may completely abolish the overtime system within five years! Overtime is not allowed..."
As soon as this news came out, both the low-level employees of Stardust Factory and some small cadres were anxious:
"No, if the overtime system is cancelled, doesn't it mean that we won't be able to receive overtime wages? And there will be fewer promotion channels? Then what's the use of our efforts?"
"Yes, yes, I point to the overtime pay every day, otherwise I wouldn't be able to work overtime every day, even on holidays! Isn't it over now?"
Then a cadre explained:
"What are you afraid of? You can think of things that Director Chen can't think of? Don't worry, a new salary system will be replaced by then. Your overtime pay will be included in the normal salary, and none of the benefits you should receive will be missing."
"Director Chen is different from other bosses... I have never seen anyone like him. Other bosses would like to make their employees work 12 hours a day and only get half a day's pay. But he is nice. He thinks our working hours are too long?"
"Yes, there is also a 'health protection mechanism'. If you work overtime for a long time, your wages will be deducted. From now on, you won't have to work overtime anymore. It's just..."
"Look at yourself in the mirror. You work overtime every day, and the dark circles under your eyes are almost welded to your face. Moreover, if we adjust like this, our technical requirements will be even higher!"
"I think so too. We should use technical employees to replace repetitive labor employees. We should also think about improving ourselves and stop worrying about this!"
"That's right, you have to be tough to make iron!"
Chen Zifan himself did not expect that the words he casually mentioned to Zhao Wushang and others would actually cause a new round of involution among the employees of Stardust Technology. However, this time it was not about overtime work, but study.
Stardust Technology's overtime rate, which remains high, has also dropped by 4 percentage points for the first time. Although Chen Zifan did not explicitly say that he would lay off employees, these employees are also afraid that if they are eliminated one day, they will be fired.
In fact, Chen Zifan didn't think about this at all. Stardust Technology was in a period of rising business, and it was too late to expand its scale and attract new employees. How could it be possible to lay off employees in a short period of time? It can only be said that they were too worried.
After processing the technology obtained from [Analysis of Shanzhai], Chen Zifan began to prepare some new production equipment. One was the battery recycling production line of the Stardust Factory, and the other was to optimize the lithium battery production line.
As for Xinghan Zhixing, Li Yuan is in charge of the company. Even if Mo Shaokun commits the old habit of pursuing perfection, there will be no problem. Besides, no matter how much Xinghan Mini pursues perfection, it will not be much better.
However, he still took the time to take a look. Compared to the time when the Stardust Factory had just been upgraded and expanded, the current Xinghan Automobile Factory was no longer an empty shell, but had begun to take shape in production.
As soon as he entered the automobile factory, an employee immediately came up to him and reported the situation: "Hello, Director Chen, I am Yan Tao. Mr. Li sent me here to wait for you. Let me take you to understand the latest progress."
…”
"The information is quite good. I just left the house, so I asked you to wait for me here. It saves trouble. Come and tell me about the progress of the work~"
"Okay Director Chen, our Xinghan Automobile Factory currently has a total of 239 employees, including..."
In fact, Chen Zifan didn't need Yan Tao to come over. He could directly open [Stardust Technology] in his mind to learn about the situation of the Xinghan Automobile Factory. The reason why he came here specifically this time was to take a look at the test vehicle.
Mo Shaokun and others made very fast progress, and Xinghan Mini was not a difficult product. But when Chen Zifan saw the test car for the first time, he really couldn't think of a second adjective besides "shabby".
"What the f*ck is this?"
Mo Shaokun quickly explained: "Ahem, test cars all look like this. The first batch of test cars are mainly to test the stability of the body structure, so they don't look... very beautiful. It will be fixed later."
Chen Zifan:???
Do you think I'm easy to fool?
However, he still saw a little bit of the prototype of Xinghan Mini from this pile of "junk", but when he saw the reserved charging port on the left rear, he immediately said:
"This doesn't work. I said I would leave two charging ports. Why only open one charging port now?"
When Mo Shaokun saw it, his heart suddenly tightened, and he understood the problem. The Xinghan mini generation indeed only has a slow charging version, but it will definitely have fast charging in the future. It only needs to be installed to reserve a fast charging interface.
Moreover, the service life of cars is relatively long, and consumers cannot buy new cars in a short period of time, so it is very necessary to reserve some room for upgrades.
Especially for fast charging technology, the fast charging on new energy vehicles is not the same as that of mobile phones with a maximum of 240W. Its fast charging limit is very high, which is also an important factor that allows consumers to switch to the new energy camp.
Assuming that when the number of charging piles is sufficient, the electricity fee is cheap enough, the usage cost is low enough, and the fast charging speed is fast enough... then the competitive advantages of new energy vehicles will still be very large, but these need to be accumulated.
According to normal development logic, it is quite difficult to develop a car brand from the bottom up. It is better to wait until the era of new energy comes before developing, but Chen Zifan always believes that it will develop sooner or later.
What’s the point of only fighting against tailwinds and not against headwinds? Just like Android tablets, when the market is not good, we give up collectively and wait for the market to pick up again. Such products will never be competitive enough.
People in the future are always talking about Tesla and BYD...but they have also started to develop new energy vehicles in this era. When the dividend period of new energy vehicles comes, the advantages will be reflected.
No matter how hard the so-called "new car-making forces" try, they cannot resist the development of these two brands.
Similarly, if Xinghan Zhixing can survive from this era to the dividend period of new energy vehicles...then the one with the advantage is Xinghan Zhixing. With years of development and accumulation, it can soar into the sky.
Therefore, even if Xinghan Mini operates at a loss in the early stage, or even suffers losses for several consecutive years, Chen Zifan does not care, he can make up for it through other aspects.
"Let's give it a little strength. Next time I come, I hope it can see what the car looks like..."
"Then when will you come next?"
"In three months."
Chen Zifan had just come out of Xinghan Automobile Factory, and Zhao Wushang found him directly:
"Director Chen, the Technology Channel wants to come to Stardust Technology to record a program and have a brief chat..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zifan was very confused and speechless: "I said, just reject similar TV programs for me, and the same goes for technology channels."
"It's different this time. The science and technology channel is officially assigned and is related to the pilot promotion of new energy vehicles in Haicheng, and there will be relevant subsidies."
Chen Zifan:......
It’s not impossible to think about it~
The expenditure on infrastructure construction is too large, and it is not something that Stardust Technology's profits can handle now. If you can get more subsidies, try your best to get them, especially the construction of charging piles, which requires too many resources.
Fortunately, Haicheng is a quasi-first-tier city. If it were placed in some less developed cities, the problem of electricity consumption for residents is still widespread, let alone the construction of such a large project, but those are not things Chen Zifan should worry about.
"Let's make an appointment. Try to make an appointment as early as possible. We still need to prepare for the Mobile World Congress..."
"I see."
It is said that they are preparing for a communications conference. In fact, Stardust Technology only needs to bring Stardust 1, Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet to show them. There is no need to build any concept phones like other domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
How to arrange the actions in Barcelona and find suitable opportunities to get exposed to some higher-end technologies is the key point. However, Chen Zifan does not expect to succeed in one go. He has other plans.
Compared with Stardust Technology's calmness and calmness, other domestic mobile phone manufacturers appear to be much more nervous, especially those whose market share has plummeted recently. They all hope to open up new markets through this World Communications Conference.
Chen Zifan somewhat understands their thinking, but he feels that these manufacturers may be overthinking, because Stardust Technology will not develop according to conventional business routines.
In addition to joining the Stardust Ecological Chain Plan, there seems to be no second more suitable choice. He just wants to dominate the Chinese mobile phone market in this way.
After Zhao Wushang gave the reply, the staff of the Science and Technology Channel were very quick and said they would come tomorrow. In fact, this was not their first time to Stardust Technology, but it was the first time for them to come to Stardust Technology more formally.
Chen Zifan also briefly prepared. When was the last time he recorded a similar program? At that time, it was probably for marketing promotion, and the main product was the "Hai", a functional phone with its own Bluetooth headset.
The current "Hai" has been discontinued, and only some copycat manufacturers are still parodying it.
