Chapter 410 The New Phone Spark
As soon as Adebayor finished speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers, especially the young people who had come with resumes in hand, hoping to try their luck.
In disbelief, they patted each other on the shoulder and then reminded each other:
"Did you hear that? Nigeria alone has 2500 base stations. That's enough for us to get a lot of money."
"And they even train us to be engineers, this... Transsion... we must support Transsion."
"A $12 billion investment—how many resources will we get to share?"
"Get out of here! They're investing in infrastructure, not giving you free money! Keep this up or they might beat you to death by Transsion Security!"
The excited audience below the stage cheered once again.
They weren't after how much money they wanted; they wanted that status.
After all, Transsion is a multinational corporation to them, and joining them might make them the next Adebayor.
He topped the list of Africa's most influential figures, moved among various departments, and earned the respect of all Africans.
"Sir, what requirements does Transsion have for these engineers?"
"Is technical expertise required?"
"How are salaries calculated?"
Looking at these questions, Adebayor smiled again: "We're not just hiring for technical jobs this time, we're also hiring general workers."
But no matter what kind of job it is, we only have one requirement: that the person must be honest and hardworking.
Moreover, the engineers came with the headquarters' requirements, which is to train our local skilled workers. If you have a strong learning ability, you can be directly promoted to a permanent position after the construction is completed and you pass the exam administered by the headquarters engineers.
To become a multinational corporation executive or technical staff member like me.
I'd also like to remind you that the salaries of our senior technical executives are higher than mine, because we are a high-quality company that values R&D and talent.
This answer caused a complete uproar. The middle-aged men, who had been somewhat worried, could no longer contain themselves and tried to rush forward. Fortunately, the security team was strong enough to stop them.
But many excited fans were still there, chanting, "Pick me! We work very hard!"
"I have a strong learning ability and I'm sure I'll pass the assessment."
Of course, some people didn't show any emotion, but they were still muttering to themselves:
"When I applied for security jobs before, all the positions were already filled. Now that the infrastructure has been built, I don't have to worry about not making money anymore."
Even the ministers from various countries sitting behind Adebayor looked incredulous, since Transsion had only mentioned the advantages of 4G and the corresponding investments it would bring, without mentioning these benefits.
But they also know that there are limited engineering positions available, so the next step will depend on their abilities, since even the poorest places always have some talented people.
Seeing the cheers from the audience, the reporters sensed something was wrong and shifted their focus to investment.
After all, 12 billion US dollars is equivalent to more than 70 billion Chinese yuan... which is a considerable investment anywhere.
"Sir, although your plans are ambitious, how will you address the funding issue?"
But when this question was asked, Adebayor smiled even more confidently.
money?
Someone actually dared to question Transsion's ability to pay money.
"This reporter must be a newcomer to the media industry. Any media outlet should know that there are only two things we have in abundance in the UK: technology and money!"
After saying that, Adebayor even raised the tip of his nose, after all... it was a disgrace that someone dared to question him on this matter.
When did a lowly reporter with a fixed salary dare to question whether the world's richest man could pull out $15?
Adebayor finally responded to a question about pricing: "Transsion's 4G pricing will be cheaper than any of our competitors, because we're here to upend the table."
Our competitors can go head-to-head with us, and of course, if they have other tricks up their sleeves, they can try to compete with us.
"However, we will keep prices as low as possible while ensuring service quality."
When we redesigned our mobile phone business, our pricing principle was to make it affordable for African users. The same principle applied when we became a movie streaming service provider: to ensure everyone could afford it.
Adebayor's words were incredibly arrogant; his competitors would be furious if they heard them.
Of course, to facilitate the layering of armor, a luxurious security team instantly appeared on the large screen behind them via voice transmission.
The above only shows a portion of the population in some countries, such as Nigeria with 8000 unemployed people.
A security company with 8000 idle personnel already exceeds the number of regular troops in some countries.
Meanwhile, MTN headquarters is considering whether to reduce its 4G investment and construction in Nigeria.
After all, the country will definitely rely on 3G for the time being. 4G is not affordable for everyone, and they seem to be at a disadvantage in any aspect of competing with Transsion.
After the applause subsided, Adebayo asked all the leaders to step down from the stage, since a press conference had already been held, they might as well release all the new products at once.
The Spark 4G phone reappeared on the big screen.
Unlike its domestic counterpart in China, this is Transsion's first 4G phone specifically designed for the African market, and it also serves as the terminal platform for Transsion Telecom.
It has a 5.5-inch screen, a large chin and forehead, but it supports 4G networks, is solidly built, and has smooth edges, making it comfortable to hold.
"Spark 4G is our first cooperative product with Transsion Telecom. Sign up for our 4G plan and get it for free."
The word "Free" and Spark configuration appeared simultaneously on the big screen.
For example, the screen resolution is 1440×720, which is a 720p screen.
The processor is a brand new TaiShan 210, the first 2-series chip, which is specifically designed for overseas markets.
Dual-core, 1.2GHz clock speed, using a 28nm process, with excellent power control, its benchmark score is just over 10,000. In the Chinese market, it is considered an entry-level device, but in the African market, it is already considered a pretty good configuration.
"The processor used in this phone is a chip that Transsion specially developed for the characteristics of African users, and the battery life can last for more than three days under normal use."
Looking at the huge three-day screen, the audience below the stage was once again completely fooled.
"Three days? Really?"
"My Transsion S2 is inferior to it?"
"But it's a two-year-old product; it's normal that it can't compete!"
