199: Chapter 199 Li Ming's Methods

At the backstage control console, Wang Hua swept a glance over the audience.

Li Ming's face was already black.

Several people next to him were whispering with their heads lowered, and one of them, wearing a grey shirt, was busy sending messages on his Smartphone...

Li Ming frowned; this price...

He helplessly slammed the table next to him, startling some of the ordinary consumers nearby.

Someone subconsciously said: "Brother, don't be so agitated. Transsion has many products that everyone can afford; I wonder if they will be released simultaneously this time."

Watching the others shouting, Li Ming cursed again, then looked at Wang Kai with a resentful expression.

Transsion had indeed come to start a price war. Previously, they could still keep up; even if it meant earning less, they could keep up and drive this guy out of the Indonesia market.

But now... with the global storage industry prices surging, at this price, they would lose money on every unit sold.

It was impossible to keep up.

They could only watch helplessly as Transsion snatched away the market share that belonged to Gionee phones.

No, absolutely not.

"Quiet, please everyone, quiet down." Wang Kai pressed his hands down. "This is just the first product of the day."

"Next, we have the explosive transsion s2 Smartphone."

The Southeast Asia version of the S2 is different from the Africa version. Only the standard version uses the MTK6575, and the imaging capabilities have been somewhat weakened. After all, the market positioning here is different, and the consumers are not black coal balls.

The Pro version has been switched to the Taishan 900 and supports 10W fast charging.

The Pro max is the same as the China version, adopting the enhanced Taishan 900 and supporting 15W wired fast charging.

"Our transsion s2 Pro max can achieve 5 minutes of charging for 2 hours of talk time, making range anxiety completely disappear."

"5 minutes of charging, 2 hours of talk time"—many audience members below had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

This was simply a miracle.

"5 minutes? Two hours of phone calls?"

"We shouldn't have heard wrong; it must be like that."

"That technology is too amazing; this is simply a miracle."

"Must buy the Pro max; I hope the price isn't too expensive."

The configuration has been upgraded, and the price is also somewhat higher than the Africa version.

The standard version is priced at 399 USD, and the Pro max price has suddenly reached 699 USD.

After the price was announced, bolstered by the catchy slogan "5 minutes of charging, 2 hours of talk time," many people in the audience were extremely excited.

They were not scared off by the price; instead, they felt that a good product was worth that price.

As for some other Feature phone products, they were all displayed on the big screen.

For example, the T80 series, which only supports calling functions, costs as little as 44 USD, while the one with camera functions is 49 USD.

The T1 series only costs 99 USD...

"Quiet!" Wang Kai pressed his hands down again. "Please quiet down a bit more."

"We have one more thing to announce."

"Transsion phones in Indonesia will not use the distributor model."

"We are building our own channels and opening our own stores. I can guarantee that the prices at the launch event are the prices you will pay; there will absolutely be no middlemen earning a price difference from you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene erupted.

Not using the distributor model meant no middlemen earning a price difference. Getting goods directly from the official source not only prevents inferior products from being passed off as good ones, but also allows people to buy better products with the least amount of money.

This manufacturer was simply here for the consumers.

But just at this moment, a person in a grey shirt in the back row of the audience suddenly stood up and shouted loudly:

"You get what you pay for. Global storage prices are going crazy right now. How could they possibly do business at a loss? There must be a trap here. The quality of this phone is definitely not up to standard; I would definitely not pass it through our Indonesia audit."

"That's right! They are here to make money, not to lose money doing charity. How could a Smartphone sell for 399?"

"What money are they making at this price? Could there really be a scam?"

"Could this phone explode?"

"But their waterproofing is done very well; the battery shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"But..."

Many consumers immediately fell into their trap and began to question things on the spot.

Wang Kai stood on stage, looking smilingly at the "user" who raised the question:

"I wonder what insight this gentleman has?"

"It's not really an insight." The troublemaker was adamant, "I just want to ask, have your phones passed the Indonesia import certification?"

"Of course they have." A document appeared on the big screen. "This is the import license issued by the Indonesia Ministry of Trade and Industry, and there is also the SNI certification; nothing is missing."

"We know that Indonesia is a country that values rules very much. As a new manufacturer, we are also willing to abide by these rules, so preparations in all aspects have already been completed."

Wang Kai looked provocatively at Li Ming; he knew that this troublemaker was definitely planted by Li Ming.

Sure enough, Li Ming immediately frowned, clearly not having expected Transsion to be so well-prepared.

But soon another person stood up: "Passing the certification just means you have colluded with other big enterprises and found some grey companies to act as your agents."

"This doesn't mean it's legal; after all, your phones in Vietnam have already been directly investigated."

"It is said that it involved suspected dumping at low prices, disrupting market order, and preparing to force other manufacturers out of business before raising prices at will."

"You want to play this trick in Indonesia too? Brothers, we must not be greedy for cheap prices, otherwise... these people are dirty inside!"

He spoke with a straight face, but many consumers in the audience did not stand by him; instead, they looked at this "brave speaker" with expressions like they were looking at a fool.

After all, they were consumers. Many of them didn't have a decent phone in their hands, and now a manufacturer was selling them one at a low price, yet some people defined it as dumping?

Please, they could still tell who was maliciously raising prices and who was serving the people.

Some prospective users stood up excitedly: "This gentleman, may I ask what you are talking about?"

"I am saying that this scam company was investigated in Vietnam." The person causing trouble for me remained standing there firmly, pointing at Wang Kai.

"Investigated by whom?"

"The Vietnam Industry and Commerce Department?"

"Then what does that have to do with us?"

This guy still didn't feel like he had vented enough, so he aimed and spat at him. Other audience members nearby followed suit and spat in their direction.

It just so happened that a glob of phlegm, because the distance wasn't calculated correctly, landed right on Li Ming's face.

His face, which was already quite dark, immediately turned flushed.

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate further, Wang Kai hurriedly stopped it.

"Everyone, stop for a moment. This customer's information is indeed quite well-informed."

Wang Kai walked off the stage, walked to the middle aisle of the third row, and looked specifically at Li Ming as he said:

"But you don't know why the Vietnam Industry and Commerce Department investigated us?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in unison at Wang Kai.

Li Ming also hurriedly took a tissue to wipe his face.

"Because after they finished investigating, they apologized that very day." Wang Kai stared into his eyes.

"Moreover, we have already reached a deep cooperation agreement. Transsion will invest in building a factory in Vietnam, creating at least 3,000 jobs."

"It is expected that the Vietnam government will personally come forward tomorrow to apologize and promise the double 10 policy."

"10 years of tax exemption and 10 years of tax reduction!"

"In the future, we will also build your own factory in Indonesia."
