Chapter 601: A big success
This year may be the last opportunity to enter the smartphone market, and the smartphone market has not yet completely determined a standard before the official release of the iPhone 4.
If this year passes, Apple will completely become the market leader with the iPhone 4, and occupy the market hegemony in the next 10 years.
It will take 10 years for others to catch up with Apple's stagnant pace, even with better technology.
If you miss this outlet, you will only be able to pursue the part of the market that Apple does not want in the next ten years.
Therefore, Yang Yi will resolutely release the new machine even if there are only 10 tens of thousands of units in stock, although some high-level executives can't understand it, but the Star Group is a word, Yang Yi ordered, they can only do it.
The first batch of machines will only be sold on the official website, with full payment, and will only be sold in China, the United States, Chen, and the European Union.
Each region has prepared a quota of 50,000 units, which will be officially launched at 8 p.m. on June 1, and the major e-commerce platforms are temporarily out of stock.
Most of the current production lines of the self-owned factory have been adjusted to the production line of the Star GalaxyS1, and the daily output can reach more than 5,000 units, and the daily output of the foundry Hon Hai can almost reach 30,000 units, and this part of the output is the consignment contract signed with the e-commerce platform.
Basically, before the release of Apple's iPhone4, 500,000 Star Galaxy S1 units were sold, 5,000 units were sold daily on the official website, 20,000 units were sold daily on the two major e-commerce platforms, and the remaining 10,000 units were sold on the remaining e-commerce platforms.
At present, due to the lack of production, there is no cooperation with operators to launch contract machines, and the telecom operators in various countries, in fact, although they have some intentions in the early stage, they are not very eager, after all, they are not sure that the Star Galaxy S1 will be very popular with the market.
The number of pre-sales paid in full on the official website reached the upper limit on the first day, and the number of pre-orders is 100,000 people, which is also related to the detailed evaluation videos given by various evaluation media, which are basically applauded, far exceeding the hardware standards of these existing smartphones, very good appearance, it seems to be a little expensive, but the configuration is very high, and there is a demand for high-priced mobile phones in the market.
After all, people also have a need for comparison, a high-priced mobile phone with a very good appearance and high recognition, but there are a lot of this part of the market.
For technology enthusiasts, the configuration of the Starry Sky GalaxyS1 is enough to meet their expectations, and there are a large number of APP developers who also have this part of the intention after the release of the Starry Sky GalaxyS1.
Hon Hai's production line is also in full swing of installation and training, and new production lines start production every day, from 31,000 units per day to 40,000 units per day on June 7, and various e-commerce platforms are currently urging goods.
On June 8th, Jobs released the iPhone4, which was not as popular as he imagined, although the appearance was also good, if the starry sky GalaxyS1 was excluded, it was also the best smartphone on the market, but it was a week later than the starry sky GalaxyS1, which was a crucial week.
Starry Sky GalaxyS1 is above iPhone4 in terms of configuration and system, and the appearance is comparable, and the appearance of Starry Sky GalaxyS1 is even better than iPhone4 in the eyes of some people.
This generation of iPhone4 actually has some problems that have not been solved, but Apple can't wait, and Jobs can't delay, so he can only release it like this, but the price of iPhone4 has been reduced a lot, the price of the 8G version is 599 US dollars, and the price of 3899 Chinese dollars is much lower than that of the starry sky GalaxyS1, and it also gives some people a better choice.
In fact, the current road taken by the Star Group is the road taken by Apple, and the Star Group has actually been running on the road of learning from Apple in the mobile phone industry, but it does not stop at the easiest imitation of the opening of the high "forced" grid press conference, nor is it like some copycat manufacturers, indulging in the production of some mobile phones that look like iPhones in addition to the notched Apple logo, and the stars learn more and more deeply.
Not only did it release its own closed system a long time ago, but it also completely abandoned common mobile phones such as Android and Symbian. Operation system,A new system built completely from scratchStar OS,It was involved in the chip business early,This is even earlier than Apple,AppleiPhone4The A4 chip used on the chip is actually a copycat version of Texas Instruments' own chip,In terms of performance, it is similar to the chip used in the Starry Sky GalaxyS1,It's just that Apple now does not have the ability to help Texas Instruments upgrade the process,So it still uses the chip used in 45nxyS1。
In terms of software, Star OS actually has a higher market share than Apple's iOS.
However, it is precisely because of the "drag" of the starry sky OS, that although the starry sky OS is a relatively advanced intelligent terminal operating system, it "got up early in the morning, but caught up with the late set", and the market share has been declining.
The system with truly independent intellectual property rights is not so fun, in fact, the initial version of Star OS is only a very simple embedded system, and then gradually expanded, after updating six versions, it can be regarded as an intelligent system.
As a relatively niche operating system, the attraction of Star OS to professional software vendors and game providers has always been very low, not to mention that this system is not only niche but also completely original, publishing software APP on the Star OS platform, you also need to learn to master a set of interface specifications and interface standards set by Star Sky, developers have to learn almost from scratch, the development cost is very large, and most software vendors are naturally avoided at first.
This is actually also due to the level of trust, after all, when Star Group released Star OS, it was still a small company with a small name.
Even some of the world's top 500 companies, they only dare to change the skin and change the module on the basis of the open source system to come out of a copycat-like system, you are a small company in the starry sky, how can he dare to make a purely original new system with such a big face?
Therefore, the original Starry Sky OS, although the system versions are diverse and chaotic, but relying on marketing strategies such as "brushing Starry Sky OS mobile phones are more power-saving" and "brushing Starry Sky OS can play ** games", the market share of Starry Sky OS was once very high, and it was known as "the first system of copycat machines", and the user base is large, and software and games are naturally available.
But when Starry Sky began to make its own mobile phones, Starry Sky OS stopped updating, and then it was redesigned, with a new kernel and no longer adapted to other mobile phones, many of these manufacturers who came over not long ago did not follow up to support the new version of the system.
This new version of the system is only installed on Starry's own mobile phone, plus most users have also begun to change their mobile phones, this market share has naturally shrunk a lot, and the number of users has shrunk in the market.
However, because of the development experience of these developers, it is naturally not difficult to smoothly switch to the developer camp of Star OS after the Starry Sky GalaxyS1 is hot.
What's more, the difficulty of development has also decreased a lot now, because the previous Star OS system has to be adapted to many mobile phones, and the compatibility factors must be considered, and the development difficulty is very high; Nowadays, only the development of the Star Galaxy S1 mobile phone, or a closed operating system, then the difficulty of development is naturally reduced a lot.
In fact, some of the applications in the Star OS store were directly recompiled by their own programmers because there was no copyright entanglement, and this part was naturally free software, most of which were announced after Star OS announced that they would no longer develop the copyright, which made a large number of developers lose a lot of money.
This part of the people naturally knew the plot of the Star Group after the Star GalaxyS1 was listed, and saw that the Star Galaxy S1 was so hot, and they also knew that they had lost a lot, but there was no way, scolding and scolding, after all, they still had to live, after all, the Star Group did not force to buy and sell at the beginning!
However, this kind of behavior will undoubtedly overdraw discipline and reputation, but the entire Star Group system is a word, and it is not easy to use the trick of connecting shareholders to use capital power to drive out the founders like other companies, because Star Group does not have any shareholders.
Yang Yi is actually also considering the introduction of some external investors, after all, there are many industries that the Star Group can not do or have no energy to do, before considering the introduction of the first batch of external investors, Yang Yi specially established Starlight High-tech Technology, put a lot of technology and patents and laboratories under the name of this company, and then authorized the Star Group or other companies to use.
In the future, if Star Group introduces outside investors and sets up a board of directors, if those shareholders in the board of directors draw wind and kick Yang Yi out, then they will find that many of Star Group's products will become illegal products due to the lack of follow-up patent authorization.
Yang Yi has considered too much at this point, at present, it is still for tax avoidance considerations, and it is also a means of transferring assets, the amount of technology and patent licensing fees is not small, which is regarded as the company's operating expenses, and the technology company is registered in a tax-free island country, and this part of the cost is a lot, even if there is more human resource costs, compared with the money saved, it is only a drop in the bucket.
……
The long eyelashes trembled, and suddenly parted up and down, and the woman on the bed opened her eyes and looked at the powder blue ceiling, a faint plain color, making people see it at first glance as if they were seeing the sky.
Turning her head to look at the floor-to-ceiling window where the curtains were closed, the woman shook her head slightly in annoyance after sitting up, and the long hair scattered on the back of her neck swayed from side to side in the shaking, and after two or three strokes, it became much more regular.
Thinking that he tossed until the second half of the night last night and slept after simply cleaning up, Andy's face was a little hot.
Andy felt that as she got up, the thin summer cool was slid down to her waist, and her upper body felt a slight coolness, she didn't care, now her body is already very good, not as fragile as before, she glanced twice, looking at the bedroom where she was alone at this time, she was slightly unhappy.
Looking at the time, it was already more than 8 o'clock, lifted the quilt and stepped on slippers to go to the bathroom, and soon there was a sound of the faucet turning on inside.
After packing up and coming out of the bathroom, Andy stood in front of the closet, reached out and gestured a few times at the virtual screen on the dressing mirror, and chose today's clothes for himself.
After all, with the development of the Star Group and the expansion of the upstream and downstream industrial chains, the influence is also increasing, especially with the support of the state, the Star Industrial Park began to be built, and everyone knows that a super enterprise has begun to rise.
After recovering the house of Lumingyuan, the laboratory under the group was stationed and began to be partially rebuilt, all the projects from design to construction to decoration have the whole process of the Star Group's participation, although the appearance of Lumingyuan here seems to be no different from before, but the cost of investment is a lot, on the one hand, it is to strengthen the strength of the building and environmental beautification, on the other hand, it is all used to build intelligent buildings.
However, the Star Group does not have to worry about the cost, most of the real estate here will be distributed to executives and employees with outstanding contributions as a company welfare, of course, this is not to give them away, just free living, with the current housing prices in Shanghai, this house Yang Yi can not afford to give.
Of course, because the implicit concept of class and class barriers are ubiquitous, some people are not willing to live in the same community with big bosses and executives, and these people will naturally choose rental subsidies.
Therefore, there are still some vacant rooms in this community, after all, such a large community, a few laboratories can't occupy much, not to mention that some dangerous and radiation experimental projects are not here, and some projects that require high power are not here.
This community is mainly responsible for the experiment of some new technologies, such as intelligent buildings.
As a manifestation of intelligent architecture, the wardrobe in front of Andy is very unusual, its dressing mirror is special, in fact, a custom-sized special LCD monitor, with a smart camera, and a virtual projection operation interface, which can be used for gesture recognition, and in the input template, the projection of automatic change of clothes is realized.
Of course, this part of the function is implemented without clothes to automatically process the intelligent system, because the processor chip is not currently enough to take on too complex tasks.
At first, Andy was still a little shy, but after a long time, he didn't care, and it was a lot of trouble to change clothes.
……
After the successful launch of the Star Galaxy S1, Yang Yi no longer paid attention to the project, and after assigning research tasks to technicians, she turned her next scientific research task to biotechnology.
Now the Star Group is rich and powerful, and the upstream and downstream industrial chains are connected to nearly one million industrial workers, and it has been half a month, and the Star GalaxyS1 is still sold out in the official channels of various platforms.
It is easy to break through the sales of one million units, and the foundry has begun to prepare the production line for the scale of 100,000 units per day, and now the Star Group is receiving hundreds of millions of dollars every day, excluding costs, and the profits are not cheap!
