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

Chapter 191 Southeast Asia Survey

"Your phones only have dual SIM dual standby. Transsion can have eight SIM cards and eight standby modes; in Africa, there's really no comparison..."

"And your sales team is incredibly stupid."

When this topic came up, the agent couldn't hold back any longer; he angrily pointed at President Choi's face:

"Because of the stupid things your salespeople said, now not only your flagship store, but also our stores, as long as they have the Sansheng logo, are being smashed and looted."

It's impossible to continue operating; it's truly impossible to continue operating.

"President Cui, please, have mercy and return it quickly. I really don't want to be beaten anymore."

"Ouch... Ouch..."

The store manager screamed in agony again.

Chief Cui merely patted him on the shoulder, and the agent's roar grew even louder.

President Cui clasped his hands together apologetically, but still said with difficulty:

"This order cancellation requires headquarters approval. Please wait a moment. I will do my best to help you get medical expenses covered."

[Agent: Since San Sang was beaten, shouldn't we cover her medical expenses...?]

…………

Kimchi National Third Electronics Headquarters.

Looking at the sales report from Africa, Li Jianxi was speechless once again.

Transsion Power3, first week sales: 47 units.

The new Samsung phone sold 6.2 units in its first week (including 4.8 feature phones).

He didn't even get a fraction of the payment he was owed, so he threw the report on the ground.

"Is having more cards and more time really that important?"

President Cui quickly explained, "Is the president really that important?"

This was specifically designed by Transsion for Africa, where users definitely need multiple SIM cards.

Lee Geon-hee looked at him: "Why didn't we think of that?"

President Cui thought for a moment, then hesitated, unsure of what to say, since not all countries are as chaotic as Africa.

Making so many cards in just any country... that's definitely not a legitimate business.

Seeing that he remained silent, Li Jianxi stood up: "Shall we leave?"

"President?"

"The Africa division is gone. We need to start over, prepare again, especially that beauty algorithm."

Don't think I don't know just because you're silent. This failure was so quick, and it's definitely related to this beauty algorithm.

That employee who did the wrong thing, deal with him properly... he must pay the price.

Lee Kun-hee clenched his fist. This batch of simplified mobile phones would have to be digested by the people of South Korea.

I believe they will understand for San Sang's sake.

After President Choi left, Lee Geon-hee took another report and shook his head again.

"Transmission still understands Africa better than they do."

…………

Guangzhou, Transsion headquarters.

The strategy of releasing a large number of new phones has once again proven its strength. These new models directly boosted Transsion's monthly sales in Africa to 870 million units, a 3.5% increase compared to last year.

Shen Fei looked at the data and couldn't stop smiling.

Li Qing reported from the side: "President Shen, San Sang has withdrawn again."

"They will come back unless they target us in new markets."

"Boss, they've failed twice already, will they come back?"

Shen Fei nodded.

"Sansang will not give up on Africa, but they won't be so reckless next time."

"But by then, the African market will already be ours. Oh, and the progress in Southeast Asia is accelerating."

"Boss, the inspection date has been set, but you'll need to go in person..."

"This time I have a different mission."

Li Qing nodded; she understood...

…………

On May 11, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and his team chartered a plane to Jakarta.

It is expected to land at Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

Quite coincidentally, a cargo plane was unloading cargo at the parking barrier in the distance, and judging from the logo on the box, it should be a Samsung.

Seeing the boxes, Shen Fei smiled. "That little rascal is here again."

"Mr. Shen, the car that's picking us up has arrived."

Li Qing's words brought Shen Fei back to reality, and he nodded.

The person next to him immediately took his luggage.

During this inspection tour to Indonesia, I didn't bring many people. The highest-ranking officials only brought Li Qin, the head of the publicity department, and Wang Hua, the head of the marketing department.

This is just a preliminary exploration of the market; there's no need to bring so many unnecessary people.

As for the others... they are all specially selected security teams.

The African security team also specially selected a group of elites to conduct preliminary reconnaissance.

"President Shen... the situation here is a little different from that in the African market, so President Huang arranged to meet with the Chen Group at their headquarters at 3 pm in advance."

but……"

"But what?"

The person who answered the phone sounded a bit... how should I put it, not very enthusiastic.

Shen Fei remained silent, simply sitting in the car. It seemed someone was trying to become a local tyrant again.

Like China in earlier years, Indonesia also had a large number of motorcycles. The street they were inspecting had a fairly good commercial development, with mobile phone signs lined up one after another.

Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry—Shenfei soon spotted a familiar color.

"Is that Gionee?"

Shen Fei recalled a familiar old friend, who was also jokingly referred to by netizens as the number one person after Lei Jun.

Lu Weibin should still be working at Gionee.

Wang Hua followed Shen Fei's gaze and said, "Yes, boss, Gionee phones are expanding aggressively in Southeast Asia."

The Mtk solution offers low cost and flexible pricing.

Their GGs are everywhere—Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines.

"Besides these, there are other domestic manufacturers, such as Gionee and ZTE?"

G'Five's shipments in Southeast Asia and India last year were phenomenal, at one point ranking among the top 10 globally.

They mainly sell ultra-low-priced MTK feature phones, following the same path as Transsion in Africa.

However, their approach is purely reliant on MediaTek, without considering the future.

What is Gionee's market share like?

"Yes, but mainly in India and Indonesia. Gionee's market share is not as high as Gionee's."

Shen Fei nodded without saying a word; he was thinking about how to get Lei Jun to go to the Indian market without hesitation.

After all, if a counterfeit manufacturer can become one of the top 10 in the world by relying on the Indian market, Lei Jun (CEO of Xiaomi) probably won't let this opportunity pass.

This is the place where he "rose to power".

After more than 40 minutes, we finally arrived in South Jakarta, a hub for Chinese businesses.

Compared to the previous devastation, this area now boasts numerous high-rise buildings.

The presence of Chinese people increased significantly; for example, restaurants along the roadside displayed signs in Chinese, and pedestrians spoke Mandarin with a Hokkien accent.

The headquarters of the Chen Group is located on this street.

The 38-story building has the words "City International" prominently displayed on its roof. It's even more impressive than the Transsion Building in China.

"Quite a spectacle," Li Qing muttered.

The group entered the lobby, with a local Indonesian girl in the background, whose smile was standard but carried a hint of aloofness.

"Are you three from Transsion Holdings? Please wait a moment while I contact Mr. Chen's secretary."

This wait lasted for 40 minutes.

They arrived at 3:00, but someone didn't come down to pick them up until 3:40.

A young man in a white shirt introduced himself as Chen Jiahao, the nephew of Chen Zhengguang, the chairman of the Chen Group.

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. My uncle has an urgent meeting this afternoon and can't leave right away."

Chen Jiahao said he was sorry, but there was no embarrassed expression on his face at all.

"Please come to my office and have a seat."

Wang Hua frowned; they weren't even allowed into the meeting room. But Shen Fei knew what was going on and calmly said:

"Then I'll take my leave."
