Chapter 93 The Infrastructure Madman
In Chen Zifan's impression, Samsung, Huawei, Honor, and vivo all prefer round watch design, while Apple and oppo prefer square watch design, while Xiaomi prefers square watch first and then round watch. There are both square watch and square watch in its products...

It’s hard to say which design is better. With the current influence of Stardust Technology in China, even if a hexagonal watch is produced, the shipments will not be bad, but you can’t do this kind of self-defeating, and there are other reason.

There is only one version of the Stardust smart watch. According to Chen Zifan's idea, it is used to match the Stardust 3+, but there is nothing wrong with the Stardust 3. Both phones are very good and belong to the category of high-end phones.

It’s just that the Stardust 3+ will be more extreme. In order to meet the diverse needs, Chen Zifan will also use two different materials for the Stardust smart watch, and match it with straps of various materials and colors.

If you want to change these, you need to buy extra, which is not a small income from accessories. No wonder a fat man surnamed Luo always likes to play the emotional card to sell accessories.

It is indeed very profitable. This can be seen from Stardust 2 and Stardust Tablet. Colorful silicone protective cases and keyboard protective cases can be sold every day. Sometimes a user will buy several mobile phone cases.

The positioning of the Stardust smart watch is also not low, plus the craftsmanship level of the Stardust factory... the price cannot be cheap. According to Chen Zifan's estimate, its final price can be controlled within 2000-3000.

Mobile phones, tablet computers, Bluetooth headsets, smart watches... Such development seems to be no problem, but in fact one of the most critical things is missing: the network.

Tablets can only be connected to wifi, and the usage scenarios are relatively fixed. Bluetooth headsets do not have networking capabilities, so these two products will not be limited to mobile networks when they are launched, but smart watches are not.

Its use scenario is not fixed, and it needs to share the network through the Stardust phone, but the 2G network of the Stardust phone itself is not easy to use, and it may be even more difficult to use after sharing it with a smart watch, and the experience will be poor.

3G has made a big improvement, but it’s okay on mobile phones, and sharing it with smart watches is still not easy to use. It wasn’t until the 5G era that smart watches from major manufacturers showed a state of blooming.

It doesn't matter, because [Stardust Technology] in Chen Zifan's consciousness still has a new 4G patented technology. It just so happens that the three major operators have all returned from the World Communications Conference and are ready to take the next step.

He can't influence other cities, but the influence of Stardust Technology in Haicheng is definitely one of the best. Many older locals in Haicheng don't admit it. They think Haicheng is still among the top 500 in the world.

However, none of the Fortune 500 companies in Haicheng has stronger cohesion and execution than Stardust Technology. Chen Zifan plans to cooperate with local operators first, give up the promotion of 3G, and directly promote the new 4G.

As for some problems... it is still enough to directly use the official launch as a shield, first set up a mobile communication research center, and use this as a basis to release new 4G technology, making Haicheng the first 4G city.

However, this will be a major blow to some established communication manufacturers, such as ZTE, Huawei, oppo, and Coolpad. These manufacturers are already researching 4G communication technology and have registered many technical patents.

If Stardust Technology directly prepares to pilot 4G in Haicheng... then they will lose the advantages they have accumulated before, and at the same time, foreign 4G patents will also lose their advantages. Instead of letting foreign countries dominate, it is better to do it directly.

There is no need to worry too much about safety. Judging from the government's continuous increase in support for Stardust Technology, it can be seen that they don't care how much advanced technology Stardust Technology has mastered, they only care about whether it is their own.

At that time, Stardust 3+ will be the world's first real 4G mobile phone, but the popularization of 4G is not so easy, there are many things needed, and Stardust 3+ is not unusable without 4G network.

Don't forget that Chen Zifan's new 4G is upgraded and transformed from the existing 3G communication technology. It not only supports the existing 3G communication, but also can receive 3G signals in areas where 2G signals are underdeveloped.

Even in the deep mountains and old forests, you can make calls. Unless you are in a drilling hole, you can receive signals in most parts of China.

Chen Zifan will never forget Apple's signal gate incident. Jobs didn't think of a way to change Apple's signal, but taught people how to hold the phone correctly...

In his opinion, this is a bit outrageous, so the signal of Stardust mobile phone has always been a point that he attaches great importance to. Since Stardust 1, he has been using a wrap-around antenna, and the signal reception ability is much stronger than that of ordinary mobile phones.

Stardust 3+, as a 4G mobile phone, is more about promoting breakthroughs in communication technology, giving people hope, and using this hope to promote products.

At that time, people will have a concept: I bought a 4G mobile phone in advance when 4G base stations were first popularized. Although the price of 5999 is a bit expensive, its configuration is really high! 4G mobile phones can be used for many years!
Chen Zifan first solved the planning scheme of the Stardust smart watch, and then started to prepare for the mobile communication research center. He didn't even need to build a research center, just use the official one.

In this name, Chen Zifan found the persons in charge of the three major operators, and then contacted the local persons in charge of the three major operators. After some communication, the persons in charge were all shocked:
"You mean... 4G technology?"

"Really? Then why didn't we know? So you planned it when you were at the World Communication Conference! I said it was impossible!"

"From the official research center? Hey~ Are those old men so fierce? No wonder we didn't know it before, and the secrecy measures there are very strict."

"He...has been engaged in research and development for more than ten consecutive years, and almost never leaves the research center. Can you not be strict?"

"Only in Haicheng? I understand!"

"But first we have to make sure..."

The people in charge of the three major operators contacted the people in charge of the official side again to make sure, and after getting a small part of the new 4G technology a week later, the plan to pilot 4G in Haicheng was finalized.

The current three major operators are also in a dilemma. On the one hand, they have just paid a huge price to obtain the 3G license, and on the other hand, they are the new 3G technology that completely slaps 4G.

Which one to promote is a problem. To promote 3G technology first, the cost can be recovered, but with Haicheng as a pilot, I am afraid that 3G communication technology will not last long.

We can promote 4G first... The construction of base stations has to start from scratch. A sea city may not be able to see anything, but it needs to be promoted to all parts of the country... The amount of work is not ordinary, and the 3G base stations built before are also wasted.

Because 3G base stations are gradually popularized from big cities, and so are 4G base stations. In this way, the two form a conflict, unless the 3G base station is directly upgraded to a 4G base station, which is almost the same.

In the end, the three major operators still decided to recover the cost of 3G first. Haicheng has Stardust Technology here, and the official has given the task. They just need to cooperate and build 5000 4G base stations according to the plan.

Only in this way can it be spread to every corner of Haicheng. The 5G pilot city in Chen Zifan's memory also built 5000 base stations, and the speed is very fast. Basically, the project was approved at the beginning of the year and the construction was completed in the middle of the year.

However, the productivity in the 5G era is much stronger than it is now, and now we have to produce 4G base stations first. Even if there are three parties working together, it will be very fast to complete more than half of the progress at the Stardust conference next year.

According to the information given by the research center, as long as there is 4G technology, it is not difficult to produce base stations. It may take some time in the early stage, but once the production starts, it only takes about 5000 days to produce 15 base stations.

And they also gave Chen Zifan a specific time, from the beginning of November to the end of January next year, the production can be completed and enter the construction state, and the construction is expected to be completed in September next year, and all of them will be put into use.

In this way, Chen Zifan can safely focus on Changhe chip engineering, and create more Stardust ecological chain products around the two mobile phones Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+.

The current Changhe project team is also progressing very fast. In the early stage, Stardust Technology only needs one chip production line, so there are not many things to prepare. After a certain scale is formed, it will be expanded to three chip production lines.

Three production lines are enough to maintain the operation of Stardust Technology for a long period of time. Of course, these are all things to say later. According to the expectation, the first start-up test of the Changhe project team will have to be arranged around January next year.

At that time, not only will we have to test the production line, but we will also have to design the Changhe 3 chip, tape it out, and test the test machine on the Stardust 3+... Thanks to Chen Zifan's [Stardust Technology], otherwise, all this work would be exhausting.

Just take the chip design as an example, if there is no basic blueprint in [Stardust Technology], it is likely to have to flow the chip several times, and the cost of time and money will be higher.

There is no way around this, Stardust Technology must have its own chip design and production capacity, otherwise Ziguang Zhanrui is an example. Chips that have been designed for many years can only be mixed in the low-end field, not even in the mid-range.

Tanggula was designed with great difficulty... As a result, it has not been mass-produced for a long time. Qualcomm has been updated to Snapdragon 8Gen2, MediaTek has been updated to Dimensity 9200, and Ziguang Zhanrui is still working hard to hit the mid-range...

It's not that they don't work hard to design chips, but that they are restricted by the chip foundry, so it is more reliable for Stardust Technology to master the technology themselves.

During this period, Chen Zifan also started a new project by the way. He divided an open space on the left side of Stardust Plaza, Stardust Direct Store, and Xinghan Direct Store, and planned to build a large open-air venue...

By the way, they also received new subsidies. This large venue is usually a stadium, but during the Stardust press conference, it will become a super-large press conference venue.

Especially for products such as Xinghan mini and Xinghan 01, ordinary conference centers can no longer satisfy them, and there must be enough display space.

Anyway, there are subsidies, the construction cost is not high, and it is good for Stardust Technology. By the way, it can also use this venue to attract more traffic, so why not do it?
Chen Zifan has also gained the title of "Infrastructure Madman". Other technology companies can't wait to save costs. They even rent office buildings and laboratories. Stardust Technology is good, and it does all kinds of infrastructure construction on the spot.

He is also using this method to send out a signal that Stardust Technology is here and will not go anywhere. On the way to the unestablished future, he will also bring Haicheng and countless ordinary people along with him. .
