Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 65 The Final Blow: Waveguide Wants to Sell the Factory

After hanging up the phone, Adebayor silently shook his head. What a cannibalistic guy.

Use people when you need them, then discard them when they're no longer needed.

After a brief exchange of insults, Adebayo didn't overstep his authority and immediately contacted Shen Fei.

After listening to the briefing, Shen Fei simply spat out a mouthful of phlegm in disgust: "Don't worry about it, just stall for now."

If they're really willing, let them build a basic factory first, to see their sincerity.

"Building a factory...wouldn't that be too much..."

"That depends on him. Rationally, he won't refuse," Shen Fei said casually. "His current position is very dangerous. Letting Waveguide replace Transmission has already given his political enemies leverage."

Regarding the crackdown on smugglers, he did absolutely nothing; only by sending the telepathic message back can he make amends.

Is it to spend public funds to build a factory, return to the collective dining table, and keep one's secure job? Or to stand firm and refuse to invest...? Any smart person can make a clear choice.

However, this is only our first step. Whether they go back after they're done depends on their mood.

Adebayor immediately understood: "I'll go right away and make sure I convey your message to him properly."

On the afternoon of the third day, the sales figures for Transsion S1 were released.

On its first day, it sold 7.8 units globally, and in the first two days, it sold a total of 17 units.

Nigeria accounted for 4.3 units in the first day's sales figures.

Mauritius sold 1.2 units.

Kenya also saw sales of 8000 units.

The remainder will be contributed by the remaining dozen or so countries.

When these specific sales figures were sent to the headquarters of Yangcheng Transsion, everyone was stunned by the results.

Li Qing trembled slightly as he looked at the data: "President Shen, this data... is terrifying. At this rate, sales in the first month may exceed one million."

Li Qing didn't set his goals arbitrarily.

Based on the current data, producing a million units a month is a piece of cake.

After all, in most countries, the display models have not been fully deployed yet; most are simply placed in important shops in cities.

Many offline stores haven't yet ramped up their efforts. Once all the materials are in place, daily sales figures will definitely double.

Shen Fei simply nodded slightly. He had long anticipated these results; the people of Africa are poor, but not all of them are.

A phone priced at $349, especially a smartphone, would normally sell millions of units per month in the entire African market.

"Notify the production department to operate at full capacity. Then tell Wang Hua that at least 200 million S1 units must roll off the production line within a month."

"Two million units?! Our production capacity..."

"Expand production." Shen Fei interrupted him directly. "Didn't we buy a bird-based factory before? I've seen the production line there; it's very new. With a little modification, it can be used for smartphone production."

"clear."

…………

Shenyang Aircraft Corporation received the document from Muhammad that afternoon.

It contains a complete chain of evidence of Waveguide bribing Tanzanian officials: a record of a $50 transfer, a recording of Zhou Ming promising a share of the profits, and copies of some secret agreements.

After reading it, Shen Fei's initial disgust only intensified. What a bunch of idiots, utterly hopeless.

After reading it, Shen Fei sent it directly to Huang Tianya: "Send it anonymously to the Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs. Since they've already started this, they shouldn't let it go any further."

"This is what we need."

"The era of smartphones is about to begin, and our feud over feature phones should come to an end."

Shen Fei's words were simple, but the meaning was clear: "Since Li Xiangdong is resting, let him get some proper rest."

…………

three days later.

The Anti-Monopoly Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce received anonymous whistleblower materials and launched an investigation into Bird's unfair competition and overseas commercial bribery.

The General Administration of Customs has suspended customs clearance inspections for all of Bird's exported goods.

Of course, there's not much left to export, so these penalty notices aren't very important.

Most importantly, Bird's stock price plummeted by 30%, dropping sharply from its peak of 5.03 yuan, instantly wiping out more than 10 billion yuan in revenue.

In the hospital ward, Li Xiangdong had just opened his eyes when he saw a group of senior executives in front of him.

"Mr. Li, this is bad. The relevant departments have officially launched an investigation into us."

"Everything that idiot Zhou Ming did has been exposed."

"Our stock price has plummeted by 30%, and coupled with our continued losses, the Shanghai Stock Exchange has now officially issued a delisting warning..."

If we can't turn things around, we'll really be wiped out of the stock market.

Looking at the specific information before him, Li Xiangdong felt a surge of anger rising within him once more.

"Shen...Shen...Fei, you're really not giving me any way out. How cruel of you."

Of course, it wasn't just Shen Fei who was abandoned, but also this group of idiots in front of them.

When they were working on the plan, everyone was incredibly fast; now that the truth has come out, they're all quick to shift the blame.

So, he vomited blood and fell into a coma again, but this time, the doctor issued a critical condition notice...

The executives were all staring at each other in disbelief. Mr. Li had simply "fallen asleep." What were they supposed to do?

How about we sell the company?

Transmission... is indeed a good buyer. After all, Mr. Shen is someone who came from the waveguide industry, so he will definitely...

Since President Li is unconscious, let them make a decision first.

…………

Meanwhile, on the other side, Adebayor was still skirting the rules, but the counterfeit Transsion S1 had already been shipped to the Tanzanian market.

Priced at $399.

It's $50 more than the international version.

At the grey market stall, a Black man took a few selfies with a Transsion S1 phone and nodded in satisfaction.

After playing Fruit Ninja for a while, he said to the grey market dealer, "Boss, what I have here is Power Max. Isn't it a bit too much to raise the price by $50?"

Despite saying that, he held the phone tightly in his hand for a long time, unwilling to let go, and the screen was still on Fruit Ninja.

After all, this game was even more popular than Season 1.

The incredibly stress-relieving gameplay, coupled with that unique leaderboard feature, made it truly irresistible to them.

"Yes, didn't you say that Transsion originated in Africa and serves Africa? Is this what you call 'paid service'?"

"Exactly, we don't need the free gifts. We'll just buy it at the original price in other countries."

"..."

"No bargaining at 399!"

After a few onlookers haggled for a while, the smuggler remained unyielding, still maintaining his "take it or leave it" attitude.

"Boss, we've been talking for so long, and you really won't budge an inch."

"Even at a price of $349, there was still a profit margin..."

"Aren't you... tarnishing the reputation of the Transsion brand? Your headquarters just lets you raise prices like this."

These people are all high-end clients, and their attitude is quite good.

Seeing that these highly educated people were in a good mood, the shills immediately began their plan to shift the blame elsewhere.

He sighed helplessly, then sat down on a nearby rock, lit a cigarette, and said resignedly:

"Actually, we don't want it either, but our costs are too high. First of all, our goods are all shipped from other countries, which adds a lot of transportation costs."

Furthermore, we also need to guard against the local police, thugs, and other hooligans. Once they catch us, all these goods will be gone.

To be honest, even if you add $50 to the price here, you won't make as much as you would over there.

If you want to protest, go find Muhammad. We could have been selling our goods here peacefully, and everyone could have enjoyed TransN's excellent service, but now...

well."
