Chapter 66 The Initial Dispute
"Apple will hold a global conference on December 12th to release an unprecedented product..."

I don’t know what’s not in history, but Apple’s entry has made many media excited. They expect Jobs to come up with a product that crushes Stardust 1.

After waiting for another two months, Apple fans finally waited for Apple's official announcement. They didn't notice Apple's word game at all. The official announcement is an official announcement. It's only December 12st, and there are still two weeks before the release date. .

Of course, even if they noticed, they didn't care. It's been half a year since Stardust 1 was released. After half a year of waiting, they still care about these two weeks?

Pushing him up, voices supporting Apple can be seen everywhere, suppressing the popularity of Stardust 1.

Everyone has the same routine. First, a wave of mosaic pictures with uncertain authenticity was revealed through "industry insiders", and then some media predictions were used to bring the rhythm up and pave the way for the next new product release.

Most of the news that broke the news is false, but whoever makes people like to watch these, and then subvert people's imagination when the product is released.

Stardust 1 has been popular for a long time, coupled with Wang Jinli's black box operation, many overseas agents bought Stardust 1 from Huaxia mobile phone dealers, and then sold it to their consumers at a higher price.

Therefore, many people have passed the enthusiasm of chasing Stardust 1 at the beginning, and began to look forward to some new products. The price of Stardust 1 has also dropped a lot. This so-called reduction is only compared with the previous one.

No matter how low the price of foreign Stardust 1 is, it is at least 3999 yuan higher than the domestic starting price of 1000. Mobile phone dealers and agents all want to make money.

Coincidentally, MediaTek is also preparing to hold a press conference on December 12 to release two chips that will enter the smartphone market for the first time in the Dimensity plan.

Coincidentally, Google is also preparing to intervene. HTC's first smartphone equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 chip and Android system will be released on December 12.

Qualcomm even only held a video conference to introduce the specific parameters of the Snapdragon S1, and did not even hold a live conference. There is no way, this single-core chip can't even beat the stitching chip of Stardust 1...

They are also afraid of making a big fanfare for a long time, and the results will be pulled out for comparison, so it is better to keep a low profile, develop steadily, and continue to develop in the follow-up.

After seeing some of Qualcomm's operations, MediaTek became more arrogant and began to publicize with great fanfare. Qualcomm wanted to keep a low profile, but they didn't want Qualcomm to keep a low profile, and they directly picked up the product introduction of Snapdragon S1.

Then began to make various comparisons: "This is what they call a smartphone chip? What is enough for one core? The frequency is only 1GHZ? Can it run? Look at us! The minimum is a quad-core start!"

"Hey, that... What is their name? I heard that their chip business is very extensive? Sorry, our MediaTek is the real king of smartphone chips! Please let us go aside~"

"It's like one is a unicycle and the other is an Evolution. How can you beat our Evolution with a garbage truck like Qualcomm?"

Dimensity 200 hasn’t been released yet, and MediaTek’s cowhide is almost blown to the sky. Every day, it’s not interviewed by the media, or on the way to be interviewed. All kinds of show operations make Chen Zifan really speechless:

"MD! Qualcomm, MediaTek! If one has an advantage, it will be bad, and if the other has an advantage, it will be arrogant..."

He is also convinced, this kind of partner is really worrying, maybe one day he will stab Stardust Technology in the back, but fortunately, after the expansion and upgrade of the Stardust Factory is completed, the Changhe chip project plan will start.

But chip design is not the key point, the key point is the construction of fabs and chip foundries, which is the most difficult to solve. Compared with MediaTek, TSMC is more difficult to make people feel at ease, so no matter how difficult it is, we have to try to make a wave.

In terms of technology, there are [Analysis of Shanzhai] and [Synthetic Creation], but investing in building a factory... Chen Zifan is too troublesome to do it by himself, and he has to rely on cooperation. The ideal state is that Stardust Technology will produce 51% of the technology, and officials will provide 30% for security. %, absorb another 19% of social funds.

Stardust Technology will retain part of the production line and supply top-level chips exclusively for its own products, which not only guarantees the advantages of Stardust Technology, but also focuses on the development of high-end technology and products, and reduces problems such as infighting.

The purpose of retaining some product lines and self-supplying top-level chips is to ensure that Stardust Technology can develop according to Chen Zifan's wishes and avoid some external interference as much as possible.

However, this is only an ideal state, and it will take a lot of trouble to operate it, and Chen Zifan has to find a way to get more technical chips.

He is also always paying attention to the recent mobile phone market trends, Apple, Google, Qualcomm, HTC, MediaTek...Maybe Microsoft will enter the game later, and the market will be very clear once HTC's Android phone comes out.

On the one hand, there is the Huaxia mobile phone camp headed by Stardust OS, on the other hand, the Android camp, and the Apple camp that is about to enter the market. It is much more difficult to maintain the balance of competition between the three systems than the two systems.

In this balance, as long as there is a slight accident in one system, it will inevitably be greeted with crazy attacks from the other two systems, and it will be an inevitable trend to eliminate one system.

Of course, the premise of the tripartite confrontation is that no other systems enter the game, such as WP, MeeGo, etc.

Chen Zifan is not optimistic about these two systems. First of all, Microsoft and Nokia can't solve the complicated problems within their own companies, so they don't have the energy to specialize in smartphone operating systems, let alone promote them in a short time.

For the domestic mobile phone manufacturers who have joined the Hongqi OS camp, instead of focusing on Android and Apple, it is better to make their own products well first. The sales of Stardust 1 are not as good as before, which is their good opportunity.

For ordinary consumers, the new products of HTC and Apple undoubtedly make them very excited. As the saying goes, "buy new and not buy old", everyone is tired of watching Stardust 1, why not take a look at the new phones of HTC and Apple.

There is always a concept in many people's minds: import>joint venture>domestic, the same is true for cars, and the same is true for mobile phones. Stardust Technology, a domestic brand, is so awesome, how can international big brands be so awesome?
With this in mind, on December 12th, many domestic consumers were also paying attention to Apple’s new product launch conference. At 15 o’clock in the morning, countless people stood in front of computers and mobile phones, looking forward to Apple’s world-changing products.

Don't understand English?what is the relationship?Can't understand what to say, don't you know how to look at pictures and videos?
A poster named "Time Does Not Wait" is still updating the status of Apple's press conference in real time. He graduated from a foreign language major, and it is easy to translate a press conference.

At this time, he was facing three monitors, and began to broadcast the Apple conference in real time for 1319 fans:

"Guys, Jobs is brand new! He took a sip of water! The press conference has begun!"

"The following is a live translation: Every once in a while, a revolutionary product will appear, and then change everything. Apple used to be... or in other words, it is lucky enough to participate in a revolutionary product in its lifetime."

What follows is a long historical introduction, the Mactinosh computer in 1984 and the ipod in 2001, one changed the way of using computers, the other changed the way of listening to music, and today it is here again.

"Widescreen ipod, revolutionary telephone, breakthrough Internet communication tool, these are not three devices, but one device... We named it IPhone, and today Apple is going to reinvent the mobile phone!"

"Before that, let's talk about some 'smartphone' products on the market. They generally include phone calls, emails and some low-level Internet functions. They are neither smart nor easy to use."

"Originally we always thought so, but this year there was an exception. It seemed impeccable, but it was a bit too extreme, ignoring the direct interaction between people and the product, and it was not perfect in use."

"20 years ago we used image display to display anything we wanted, to display any user... We applied these theories to mobile phones, and what we got was a huge screen and more direct interaction..."

"Time does not wait" also cut some pictures and put them in the post while translating. Many netizens were shocked when they saw the shape of Apple 1, because Apple 1 took a completely different path from Stardust 1.

They still chose to keep the Home button as the only physical button on the front of the Apple 1. The screen size is still the best size that Jobs believes is the best grip size, but the overall refinement is several steps higher.

Next is the thickness of the whole machine, the mute button on the side, which is completely different from the three-stage mute button of Stardust 1, and then there is a large-scale introduction to the interconnection method of Apple 1 with computers and ipods...

Netizens under the post are confused, but this does not hinder their enthusiasm. Stardust Technology does not have computers, PC-side operating systems, or iPods... and these are Apple's advantages.

When Jobs introduced the unlocking method... many people have already started arguing under the post:

"Elegant, really elegant!"

"But... isn't there any difference between this and Stardust 1? It's just that the design is different, there is a Home button, and the unlocking method is different..."

"Hehe, you know P, just a Home button, I don't know how much more convenient it is than the full screen gestures of Stardust 1, the full screen is so hard to use!"

"6. Do you know why Stardust 1 doesn't need a Home button? With their screen level, fineness, and responsiveness, there is no need to use such superfluous things! Do you understand?"

"Have you seen Apple 1? Have you seen it with your own eyes? You know that the screen of Apple 1 is worse than Stardust 1?"

"..."

Then there are all kinds of software introductions, but every time "time does not wait" is translated and some pictures are released, there will always be people arguing below, constantly taking out Stardust 1 and Apple 1 for various comparisons.

Some are from Stardust 1, some are from Apple, and the biggest flaw of Stardust 1 is the navigation map, Apple is from Google Maps, and the rest of the common things are only different in the form of expression.

In addition, the Apple 1 also has the Apple App Store that only appeared on the Apple 3GS. According to Jobs, they have gathered the best Internet companies in the world to jointly develop software applications...

Someone in the post bar suddenly became excited:

"Look? Let me just say, Apple 1 is definitely better than Stardust 1. It gathers the power of the world to develop software applications. What does Stardust 1 have? What is it in China?"

"Dog TX will be a copycat! Copyoff the genuine version, kill the genuine version, and then refuse to admit that it is a copycat! Domestic Internet companies have the same virtue!"

"Brother, it's not enough. The poster also said that Apple 1 will enter the Chinese market. When the time comes, go to the store and see which one is the best one to buy?"

"Apple 1 will be officially launched in March next year... Isn't this playing us? Maybe there will be new models of Stardust phones by then, what kind of Apple should I buy!"

"The price has been announced! $499!"

"Do you think $499 is cheap? When it really arrives in the Huaxia market, plus various taxes, the price may go straight to 5000, which is much more expensive than Stardust 1!"

"The price is not the problem. The main problem is which is easy to use. This is the problem. The screen of Stardust 1 is too big, and the video is not as exquisite as that of Apple 1."

"What can you tell by just watching the video? Those who say that Stardust 1 is not exquisite have never touched it by themselves..."

"Don't fucking quarrel! Buy whichever one you like and it's over! What's the point of arguing!"

At 3:[-] in the morning, Chen Zifan was still asleep, and countless netizens were already standing in front of the screen, blushing. If he was asked to say a few words, he would definitely say: Don't worry, it won't be easy if Apple comes in.

Leaving aside Stardust Technology, the domestic mobile phone manufacturers that Guangxin joined the Hongqi OS camp are not easy to mess with. Just kidding, the Chinese market is already seriously involved. How can it be possible to let the market go to Apple?
As for the cooperation with local operators announced at the Apple press conference... Even if the network is stable, what does it matter to the Chinese market?Apple 1 really wants to enter the Chinese market, and the resistance it faces is not ordinary.

Chen Zifan woke up early the next morning, facing various documents that Zhao Wushang sorted out, half of which were about Apple, which was released on December 12th and listed on January 15th... Really fast enough .

Want to enter the Chinese market in March?

Chen Zi immediately became happy. He was not afraid of Apple coming, but he was afraid that Apple would not come. If Apple didn't enter the Chinese market, Stardust Technology would have a hard time doing it, but as long as it dared to come, it would be impossible to make Apple feel better.

The remaining half of the documents were the expansion and upgrade progress of the Stardust Factory, the financial statements of various businesses, the records of personnel transfers, etc. After he briefly read it, Zhao Wushang asked:
"Should we..."

Knowing what he meant, Chen Zifan raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, Apple is here, why don't we wait for HTC to release the new phone, and then let's start warming up."

The role of the bamboo rhyme version of Stardust 1 is not only a limited-edition model used to temper the hype, but more importantly, it is a start to tell everyone that Stardust Technology will produce something different in addition to conventional models .

This time it is the Bamboo Rhythm version of Stardust, next time it may be a completely independent special limited edition model...

There is no doubt that the appearance of Apple 1 has rewritten the current smartphone market structure. Although many people think that with Stardust 1 ahead, Apple 1 cannot reach the height of "changing the world", but in terms of products, the current Apple 1 has far surpassed the Apple 1 in history.

However, the recent hotspots are not limited to Apple 1. The high-profile MediaTek directly released two smartphone chips in their Dimensity plan, and they threw two blockbusters into the smartphone market as soon as they appeared.
