Chapter 409 The Worried Mobile Company
Meanwhile, at the Kyoto Mobile headquarters.
Xi Guohua threw the documents on the table, and the wrinkles on his forehead instantly appeared.
He really didn't expect that Transsion, a mobile phone company, would actually enter the upstream industry. Why would a mobile phone company like Transsion just focus on selling mobile phones?
But in the end, he could only sigh silently.
"Take a look, everyone. This move by the telepathic communication is quite interesting."
While we were busy rushing to launch 4G in China, they managed to snatch the first 4G phone launch in the country, only to surprise us with a stunt.
The good news is that Transsion is not among the recipients of a 4G license.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a noisy chatter erupted in the conference room.
Someone actually suggested blocking Transsion's access to 4G services, but they were quickly slapped down by someone else, since it was Transsion that was being blocked.
They're the ones who got stuck!
This plan is utterly stupid.
CEO Li Yue was under considerable pressure, given his knowledge of Transsion's relationship with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the contributions Transsion had made.
If Shenfei really wants it, then after comprehensive consideration, the higher authorities might grant him the license, since the reputation of the three major transport companies has indeed not been very good in the past two years.
The great deals from the days of massive 3G price cuts are gone...
"Our domestic market is much larger than Africa's, and the purchasing power is also stronger. Mobile is of paramount importance to us, but this does not mean that we can let our guard down."
After all, he's a telepathic user; his background and funding are no less than ours.
"Old Li, this is exactly what I'm worried about!"
Xi Guohua lit another cigarette, his eyes filled with even more sorrow.
But he also knew that worrying wouldn't solve the problem.
After a long, noisy discussion in the meeting room, they still couldn't come up with any usable solutions.
He tapped the table again.
"Even if you discuss it, you won't come up with anything."
Then proceed with the original plan: the construction of 4G networks in China must proceed as scheduled, the speed must be doubled, and the price must be reduced by 10%!
In short, we must stay ahead of China Unicom and China Telecom.
Now that there's a poison circle, it's all about who can run the fastest.
By the way, besides lowering prices, we need to increase cooperation with ZTE and Huawei, and stop using foreign base stations. We must support our local companies.
Li Yue instantly understood what Xi Guohua meant: as long as they expressed their stance in a way that surpassed that of China Unicom and China Telecom, that would be enough...
As for domestically produced equipment, this leaves no room for criticism, since they are currently using domestically produced equipment and support domestic products.
A marketing manager said, "Okay, we will immediately increase our focus on Transsion in Africa after the meeting!"
We need to understand their model, and at the same time, actively seek information from higher authorities to avoid catching us off guard.
Xi Guohua didn't speak, but nodded.
…………
After the meeting, only he and CEO Li Yue remained in the office.
"Shen Fei is really daring. Mobile operators are real cash cows, and he, an outsider, actually dares to do these kinds of business in Africa."
"Aren't you afraid someone will smash his business?"
"Old Xi, that's all you're saying. Who would dare smash his things?"
Do you really think their security team is pushovers?
Xi Guohua rolled his eyes at him, wanting to say something, but unable to refute it.
After all, according to the information his former boss gave him, Transsion has taken in quite a few short-haired men this year to serve as instructors in Africa.
Moreover, despite employing so many people, their revenue was not affected.
This is what he envies the most.
Xi Guohua hesitated for a long time before finally saying:
"But to be fair, his move was both ruthless and precise."
In Africa, the infrastructure is weak and the service from telecom operators is inadequate. He took his mobile phone and base station with him, which truly created a closed loop in his life.
It's a pity that we're bound by so many rules and regulations in China; we simply don't have the flexibility to do this kind of thing.
Li Yue chuckled as he stood to the side. Those rules and regulations were simply a result of a lack of oversight in the past, which led to some problems…
"Okay, stop being envious."
I just ask that you keep a close eye on it. If our domestic 4G network construction is slow, and users compare it to ours, we'll lose face big time.
Such meetings or private exchanges are also taking place simultaneously on the China Telecom and China Unicom sides.
China Unicom even contacted the former leader to inquire about the possibility of Transsion entering the domestic market, although the former leader's explanation was very vague...
…………
On January 1st, Transsion Telecom Africa Ltd. was officially inaugurated in Las Vegas.
The first CEO was Adebayor.
However, the communications ministers of Mauritius, Nigeria, Ghana, and other countries all participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
It's a real shame that Shen Fei didn't attend the unveiling ceremony, but he recorded a video message to represent him.
"Transsion's success today is inseparable from the African market. Therefore, in order to enable the African market to develop better in the future, Transsion will build its own 4G network in Africa!"
This is a commitment we've made; we're not just here to sell products and make money, but also to build infrastructure in Africa.
Africans deserve better 4G networks!
Transsion is an operator used by Africans themselves.
The Nigerian spectators around them erupted in celebration once again, recalling the joy they felt while waiting for the start of the season at Lax, when both feature phones costing tens of dollars and smartphones costing 300 dollars brought them a sense of technological exhilaration.
Before the press conference even ended, it had already trended on multiple AfriLink search terms.
#Transsion: From King of Mobile Phones to Rising Star in Telecom#
#MTN and Vodafone, your new rival has arrived#
After cutting ribbons with ministers from various countries and receiving their blessings, Adebayor returned to the interview stage.
"Mr. Adebayo, what exactly is the plan for telepathy?"
"According to rumors, Transsion's first batch of base stations will consist of 2500. Is this true?"
"What is Transsion's plan? Is it to go all out like China, or will it focus on key cities?"
As he watched the chattering reporters, Adebayor also sorted through the questions.
For example, he didn't want to answer the question raised by the South African newspaper.
After all, this is Africa, not China. Theirs is basic infrastructure, while theirs is a commercial operation company. How could they possibly build for you in every place?
They're rich, not stupid!
But since it was an interview, he still answered with a smile:
"The 2500 base stations are part of the first year of our three-year plan, and this number is limited to Nigeria."
We also have simultaneous plans for countries like Ghana.
Our total investment budget for this year is $12 billion, and all installers will carry out independent installations under the guidance of the Chinese technical team.
We will continue to bring a group of telecommunications engineers to Africa, which will bring a very considerable income to tens of thousands of African families!
