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

Chapter 58 Offline Early Experience

Around 9 a.m., the area around major shopping districts in Las Vegas was covered with new GGs, with almost every blank wall sprayed with orange "TECNO S1" GGs.

Some captioned their posts "A bigger screen," others "A smarter experience," and still others simply drew a larger phone outline with the words "August 1st, see the never before seen" written on the screen.

Is Transsion releasing a new phone?

"The screen looks huge, even bigger than my Power Max."

"Forget the Power series, this is bigger than my smartphone. Is this a Transsion smartphone?"

"S1. Is it the smartphone that Aribajo mentioned before? I think he did a similar survey."

Curious onlookers gathered around the GG, discussing it amongst themselves. Some young people even took out their own feature phones to compare. The noticeably different size and appearance immediately stunned everyone.

Even more impressively, Transsion has set up experience kiosks in front of some stores with high foot traffic. Inside the kiosks are several engineering prototypes of the S1, locked with anti-theft chains.

It can be operated by touch, but it must never be taken away. For absolute security, several professional security personnel are standing nearby.

Around 10 a.m., in the financial district of Victoria Island.

A middle-aged man wearing an Armani suit and carrying a briefcase walked into Transsion's store once again.

He was an executive at a local bank who wanted to meet Adebayo through the branch manager and persuade him to deposit his funds in their bank. That would be a huge success for him…

However, as soon as he entered the store, he forgot about his work and was attracted by the cell phone on the table.

"Sir, this is Transsion's first smartphone, which they are about to release." Seeing his interest, the staff member introduced it even more enthusiastically.

"A 4.5-inch large screen, a 200-megapixel camera, and touch operation."

Following his instructions, the man began to try swiping the screen.

Smooth, extremely smooth.

He opened his camera and took a picture outside; the clarity of the photo surprised him once again.

"Was this really made through telepathy?" he asked skeptically. "Not mulberry leaves or fruit?"

As a senior bank executive, he was aware of the technological developments outside. Smartphones were groundbreaking devices released last year, and the technology was very difficult to master; only major international manufacturers had the technology to manufacture them.

He had some doubts about the telepathic message.

"100% Transsion manufactured," the staff member said proudly.

"And it still retains the preferential treatment for African users, such as this dark skin beauty filter 2.0."

The man immediately took another selfie, and after the photo appeared, he exclaimed in surprise, "Is that really me? How... how can I look so good?"

"Because our headquarters engineers are still optimizing it, upgrading from the original database of 10 data entries to a database of one million data entries."

"And the algorithm has been optimized and upgraded specifically for this smartphone," the staff member said with a smile, also quite excited, as the deal was likely to go through.

He can get a substantial commission.

The man was tempted. His Blackberry phone, while good for business, had a small screen, poor camera, and sometimes unreliable signal. He had considered upgrading to a PowerMax before, but that phone wasn't quite right for him.

This S1...

"How much does it cost? When can I buy it?"

"Officially going on sale after the press conference on August 1st, you can now pay a deposit of $100. It can be used as a $120 credit after the press conference."

The staff member quickly picked up a reservation form from the side and handed it over.

"Sir, there are still many benefits available. The first 1000 customers who pre-order will also receive a free original protective case. Transsion's after-sales service is something you can trust."

The man filled out the form without hesitation, swiped his card, and left excitedly. As for his original job... it was unimportant compared to his smartphone.

That same day, similar scenes played out at more than 20 stores in Lux. By the time the accounts were closed that evening, the number of reservations had exceeded 3000, and reservation fees alone amounted to $30.

Adebayo immediately relayed the message back to headquarters, where Shen Fei was reviewing the press conference plan.

"Nigeria is so rich." Li Qing exclaimed after glancing at the numbers, then quickly handed the report to Shen Fei.

"It's not about having money, it's about yearning." Shen Fei glanced at the report and put it aside. "Africans have been discriminated against for too long. They have never been valued and can only use old mobile phones discarded by Europe and America, which are even more expensive than they are."

Now there's a company that truly designs for them, making products that rival international brands... This sense of recognition will translate into purchasing power.

He thought for a moment: "Tell Adebayo that we'll release a new feature every time we reach 1000 users. Keep the hype going until the launch event."

We'll communicate with other TV stations to see if they're willing to broadcast our press conference.

After giving the instructions, Shen Fei picked up his phone and saw a photo that Zhang Mingzhu had sent him.

She held a brand-new Transsion S1 and smiled happily, a very sweet smile.

Shen Fei stared at the photo for a long time, then saved it and changed it to his own wallpaper.

On the other hand, Bird also increased its publicity efforts, preparing for a decisive battle with He Chuanyin on August 1st.

Although some rumors made Zhou Ming a little confused, he felt that Transsion was just an assembly plant and its technology could not compare to Bird's. Even if they had temporarily produced a smartphone.

The first smartphone wasn't much better than a feature phone; in the end, price was the deciding factor.

So they prepared to reopen the Mauritius market and fight Transmission to the death there...

…………

Time quickly came to August 1st, at the Lax National Stadium.

This time, Transsion finally held the press conference in a more formal location, instead of in an open-air square.

The buzz surrounding smartphones is indeed huge; by 4 p.m., the stadium, which can hold 6 people, was already packed.

Orange "TECNO" flags formed waves in the stands, and the cheers of the crowd came in waves like a tsunami.

The first few rows near the main stage were occupied by prospective users who had reserved the Transsion S1.

Backstage, Adebayor adjusted his tie one last time in front of the mirror.

The man in the mirror was wearing a custom-made suit, his hair was combed so neatly it shone, and he had a diamond badge from the Transsion Africa region pinned to his chest.

This was airlifted over by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation yesterday; there are only three of these in the world.

"President, the ratings are off the charts!" the assistant reported excitedly. "It's being broadcast on Nigerian national television and in 27 other countries across Africa."

YouTube also sent a dedicated recording team, and the videos will be repeatedly played on their platform. This is all our fault!

Upon seeing these pleasant surprises, Adebayor quickly clutched his chest and took a deep breath.

At this moment, the headquarters special team also came to his side. Li Qing and Li Ziqi walked over and said, "Don't be nervous. You've been preparing for three months. This press conference will definitely be a success."

He nodded to his boss's secretary, Li Ziqi, then clenched his fist and said to his assistant beside him, "Begin."
