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

Chapter 4 Luxury Security Charter Flight

"It means a huge market," Li Qing suddenly covered his mouth.

like……

"That's right." Shen Fei nodded. "Second, what kind of devices do international brands like Nokia and Motorola sell in Africa?"

"These are all older models that they've phased out in Europe, America, or China," Liu Fang from the purchasing department immediately added.

Chen Hai nodded: "We've dismantled a few before, all of them were old models from two or three years ago, not even as good as the knock-off phones from China."

Third, have these phones been optimized for African users?

Everyone fell silent, heads bowed in thought... If those people couldn't even adapt to the vast Chinese market, let alone the far less developed Africa.

After all, those companies are best at getting users to adapt.

"No." Shen Fei began his self-questioning and self-answering mode, making everyone psychologically and practically accept his thoughts.

This will be of great help to the work that follows.

"They're just clearing out their inventory in Africa."

They don't care about poor signal or a lack of communication base stations. They also don't care about the difficulty of charging and frequent power outages in Africa.

The photos turn out... Africans have dark skin, so they come out as a mass of black in the pictures, but they don't care.

Shen Fei stood up and walked to the curtain: "This is our chance."

"What Transsion needs to do next is to make a phone that is truly designed for African users."

Every word Shen Fei said struck a chord with them: "Extremely long standby time, one charge can last at least 5 or even 10 days."

With enhanced signal strength, phone calls can be made even in remote areas; and optimized photography capabilities, the goal is to enable people in Africa to take clear portraits.

Since there are few communication base stations but many operators, let's develop dual-SIM dual-standby and quad-SIM quad-standby systems to meet all their requirements.

The meeting room fell silent as everyone pondered.

Chen Hai was the first to realize that this was even more detailed than what President Shen had explained to him yesterday; it was a completely new development approach.

Most importantly, this isn't nonsense; it's effective. If these pain points are addressed, they will truly be the kings of Africa. This is practically a strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside in the mobile phone market…

"Mr. Shen... about the battery technology you mentioned yesterday..."

"We're already in talks," Shen Fei lied without batting an eye. "Their technology is just one step away from completion; it should be ready by the first quarter of next year."

"In addition, I have some friends who have contacted engineers who left Huawei and can help us optimize the antenna design."

"Once we have the money for image processing algorithms, we can collaborate with university labs... those free resources will be cheaper, and they might even poach our company."

In fact, all of this depends on the system, but we must first give people confidence.

"Cows and horses..." Everyone was slightly taken aback, but when they thought about their own college life, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

So she quickly returned to the work forum, frowned, and tentatively asked, "What about the price? Can African users afford it?"

"There are wealthy people everywhere. No matter how cheap it is, those who can't afford it still can't afford it. So our target price is $30 to $50," Shen Fei stated.

"What?" Wang Zhigang exclaimed. "This price... it doesn't even cover the cost. Our cheapest model costs around $35."

"So optimization is needed." Shen Fei looked at Chen Hai. "Engineer Chen, if we use the lowest-end chips and the smallest screen, remove the camera, and only keep the most basic call and text messaging functions, what would the cost be?"

Chen Hai quickly did the calculation.

After the conversation, he considered the following solution: "If the quantity is large, it can be reduced to $20."

If we can become a major customer of MediaTek, we can also get a few more percentage points of rebate on the chips, which will then be our profit.

The lowest price should be around $18, but with this kind of photo optimization, it's...

"Prepare multiple versions and gradually test the market," Shen Fei decided.

"With all sorts of miscellaneous expenses, the basic version costs $25, but the selling price will be $30. We'll be losing money to gain publicity."

The standard version includes a camera and music playback function, reducing the cost to around $30, and is priced at $50…

He looked at everyone: "The fate of Chuanyin rests on this battle. Those who are willing to follow me, I, Shen Fei, will not treat you unfairly."

If you have any questions, you can leave now; your compensation will be paid as usual.

No one moved. A few seconds later, Li Qing was the first to raise his hand: "President Shen, the marketing department guarantees to complete the task."

"The production department guarantees delivery."

"The purchasing department ensures the supply chain, and we try our best to squeeze every penny out of MediaTek."

Shen Fei took a deep breath: "Alright, all departments, take immediate action. We need to see a detailed plan after we've completed our market survey in a week."

…………

Three days later, at Guangzhou Bao'an International Airport.

A Boeing 737 freighter is being loaded with cargo. Due to time constraints, this time it is carrying a batch of inventory Transsion T100 series aircraft, as well as some spare parts and a large number of maintenance tools.

Shen Fei led a 15-person inspection team, including Chen Hai, Li Qing, 7 engineers, and 4 translators, along with a very luxurious security team of 40 people.

"President Shen, everything is ready." Li Qing walked over. "We found a distributor in Nigeria through a friend, and they agreed to send someone to pick us up at the airport."

Shen Fei nodded. This time, he was dressed in simple casual clothes and wearing sunglasses. He didn't look like the playboy he used to be at all. He looked like a real businessman.

But in reality, for safety reasons, he chartered the entire plane and hired a professional security team to protect him throughout the journey.

He dared not be careless about the security situation in Africa, nor could he gamble on it...

As for where the money will come from, that's up to Huang Tianya.

After all, an economic crisis is a huge risk for ordinary people, but for him it is an opportunity, and an opportunity with no secrets.

I just don't know if I can take this opportunity to make a few billion US dollars and acquire 50% of Huawei's terminal shares.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

"Where is Engineer Chen?"

"Check the equipment in the back." Li Qing lowered his voice: "President Shen, aren't we taking too much of a risk this time?"

Nigeria... I've heard it's not very safe there. Wouldn't it be too risky for you to go yourself? Leave this to us."

"That's why we need security," Shen Fei said calmly. "As for me... I've learned a lot over the years."

This presents both risks and opportunities, and I must go. If I can establish a foothold in Nigeria, I'll have won half the battle in the entire West African market.

He looked out the window. In 2008, China was on the eve of rapid development, and the era ahead held great promise. But Africa remained a forgotten continent.

But this very continent will become a billion-level mobile internet market in the future, and Transsion is its developer and the biggest winner.
