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

Chapter 282 Adults Deserve Double the Happiness

Faced with the choice presented by Anil, Rebus did not fall for the trick, but instead revealed his cunning side.

"Mr. Anil, are Bharti Airtel and Vodafone your front men?"

Anil's smile froze for a moment, and his previously confident expression vanished.

"Mr. Lei, what did you say?"

"What I mean is, have you already agreed on the distribution channels with Bharti and Vodafone?" Rebus looked at him without backing down. "Otherwise, how could you make the decision for them?"

Moreover, 8.5% of the shares is indeed too much.

Anil opened his mouth, then closed it again in an instant. After swirling the wine in his glass and taking a few sips, he smiled.

"Mr. Lei, you are very smart."

But sometimes, a wise person doesn't ask the questions they shouldn't ask.

Lei Jun was finally relieved.

He guessed right.

Bharti Airtel and Vodafone's distribution channels are, at least partly, influenced by Anil, or rather, they have already formed a partnership.

This means that Anil not only controls Reliance Telecom, but also influences most of India's telecommunications industry through other means.

This collaboration may seem like a choice, but it is actually inevitable.

If they choose to refuse, the rice company will be excluded from these channels.

Transsion Spake has already gained an advantage; if it loses the support of its distribution channels, its rice business in India will truly be doomed.

"Mr. Anil, 8.5% is too much. I can only offer 2% at most."

"Two percent, how are we supposed to divide that among the three of us? It should be at least 6%."

"3%, 1% for each company, that's the most sincerity I can offer, after all, we can always withdraw our investment at worst."

Withdrawal of investment! The project hasn't even started yet. The first Redmi phone was just Lei Jun's initial test. He didn't expect the other party to be in such a hurry as he imagined.

At that moment, Anil reached out his hand.

"Deal! Mr. Lei believes that with the channels of our three companies, Redmi's sales will definitely exceed 500 million units this month."

Leibusi grasped his hand, showing little interest in the pie; he only felt that the hand was cold and hard.

After leaving the club, Lei Jun got into his car, where Lin Bin was already waiting.

"Old Lei, how did the talks go?"

Lin Bin's face turned ashen after hearing this.

"Old Lei, although it's said that he only received 1% of these 3% shares, in reality, they are all for him."

Anil is sucking blood.

"I know."

"Then why did you agree?"

"If I don't agree, our products won't be able to enter Bharti Airtel and Vodafone's channels."

"Our sales will definitely not be as good as Spake's, and we'll just be an empty shell."

Lei Jun leaned back in his chair, pondering a question.

Currently, the best technologies in the Indian market are its marketing and the MIUI system. The Indian version of the system is called MIUI India.

This system supports Google services.

However, Reese had also taken precautions beforehand; this system was somewhat stripped down compared to the domestic version.

Thinking about all this made Rebus feel a little better. Anil had his plans, but Da Mi also had his own little schemes.

"Old Lin, you're right, Anil is indeed sucking our blood, but we really can't do without him."

Lin Bin nodded.

After all, without the strong promotion from Reliance Telecom, the first Redmi phone would have been a hit, but sales would definitely not have been this fast.

Within a week of its launch, sales approached 200 million units.

Although Anil was a bit greedy, the solution offered by Reliance Telecom was indeed very suitable.

In addition to the normal rebates, new users who sign up for a Reliance Telecom SIM card will receive an extra rebate of five US dollars per phone.

"However, we can't rely on Anil alone. Transsion's approach in India inspired me, and we also need to find partners."

Payment must be made in advance before delivery.

"Can you really succeed in securing distribution channels by paying in advance?"

"Give it a try, find local distributors to help us stock up, and we'll give them a commission."

This approach doesn't rely on trustworthiness and offers multiple avenues of thought.

Lin Bin thought about it and realized that this method was indeed feasible, since rice was cheaper and generally more popular with consumers.

"Then let's hurry up. Transsion's feature phones haven't entered the market yet. Once those products are available, we'll be the ones vying for our market share."

Lin Bin is right, Transsion does have a new phone on the way, but it's not a feature phone...

On August 15th, Transsion held a launch event for SpakePro, once again at the Mumbai Convention Centre.

Adebayor took to the stage again, this time with even more confidence, having already gained a good reputation for his telepathic communication.

"Transsion SpakePro is equipped with an MTK6575 chip."

This chip is also a veteran product, with dozens of phones equipped with it, from Transsion to Honor and other domestic mobile phones.

Detailed comparison images have also appeared on the big screen.

This chip is even more powerful than the 6576, with an improvement of about 15%.

Moreover, this time it comes with a large 512MB of RAM, with up to 16GB of storage available, and the battery capacity has also increased to 5000mAh.

The large battery is practically a nuclear bomb in a low-end phone.

The final price was $349.

The stage became lively again. $349, which is equivalent to about 2 Indian rupees, can be considered a mid-to-high-end product.

The enthusiasm from the audience was noticeably lower, as many could tell that Adebayor's sincerity this time was not as great as at the last press conference.

But in the end, Adebayo still said, "Indian users need better products, and SpakePro is a better product."

They upgraded the processor, increased the battery capacity, and added support for 10W fast charging, but the price went up by $100.

This led many Indians to ultimately choose to buy Spake after comparing the two options.

As for the Pro version... it sold out, with only 8 units sold.

This made Lei Jun feel uneasy, after all, Transsion launching two products in one month showed that they really valued the Indian market.

Thinking of this, Lei Jun paced back and forth in his office in a panic.

"Old Lin, how much longer until our Redmi Note arrives?"

"Mr. Lei, the Redmi Note will still be available in at least another month."

The R&D team has already designed it, and negotiations with the supply chain are still ongoing. We definitely can't engage in scarcity marketing, especially under these circumstances.

Lei Jun felt a pang of heartache. How many phones could Transsion sell in a month? At least several million. They were stealing his market share!

He sat at his desk and instantly understood that All England's style of play in India was exactly the same as in Africa: fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Fast product launches, fast channel delivery, and fast market response.

In India, we need to change our approach to rice; we can't be slow at every step, or we'll still lose.

"Forget about cost-effectiveness. Even if the price increases a bit, you have to speed it up."

"If the Redmi Note launch is brought forward by two weeks, as long as our price is lower than Transsion's, it will be a victory."
