203: Chapter 203 Breaking the Monopoly: Mass Production of OLED Screens

"J-Join?"

The others also widened their eyes; they had thought... thought that they couldn't escape another beating today, but as it turned out...

"Transsion has a security company in Indonesia, and we're currently hiring. Although you people have done bad things, you are familiar with the locals and know how to fight and cause trouble."

"Come to Transsion; your monthly salary will be paid on time, and there will be a year-end bonus."

"If you do a good job, you can get promoted and get a raise. Isn't that much better than just drifting through life?"

"Of course, if you do a bad job..."

Mr. Adebayo smiled again: "If you do a bad job, you know the consequences."

The bald man and his accomplices looked at each other; they had never dreamed of a plot twist like this.

Consequently, led by these dozen or so men, Mr. Adebayo went straight to their base camp and wiped it out.

Playing is playing, and messing around is messing around, but don't underestimate an African warlord.

As for the result... the relevant Indonesian authorities just treated it as an ordinary brawl; after all, this kind of thing had happened more than once or twice.

As long as there were no victim reports, there was no issue.

Three days later, the Transsion Indonesia security company had several hundred more security guards.

The bald man was named Agung, formerly a small-time thug in East Jakarta, now responsible for night patrols at Transsion stores.

The yellow-haired man was named Budi, formerly a protection racket collector, now responsible for delivering goods to the stores.

As for the rest, some were security guards, some were drivers, and they were working quite diligently.

The main reason was: if they didn't work well, they got beaten.

When the news reached the office, Wang Kai looked shocked:

"Mr. Adebayo, you... recruited them?"

Mr. Adebayo nodded: "Those thugs didn't have any contracts to begin with; they just worked for money."

"Now that I've taught them a lesson, they know fear. And since they have a proper job, they are actually more loyal than the average person."

Wang Kai was stunned for a long time, then gave a thumbs up.

"High, that's really brilliant."

"What's that?" said Li Qing, who had come to help temporarily. "Our security company in Africa even recruits small tribes; that's what you call high."

Just as they were speaking, the head of the Indonesia regional publicity department rushed over: "Mr. Adebayo, there's a situation."

"Speak."

"We investigated, and Samsung and Nokia are preparing to open stores next to ours. At least 10 of their stores are at locations we have already selected."

"When are they opening?"

"They start renovations next month and are expected to open in two months."

Mr. Adebayo nodded without speaking; based on the products of those two companies, it was purely a case of letting the distributors provide free advertising.

We'll see how long they can last.

One day later, the Transsion Southeast Asia region issued an internal notice.

To incentivize frontline employees, the company decided to set up sales bonuses.

Six consecutive months of being the sales champion (store) earns a $2,000 reward.

One consecutive year of being the sales champion (store) earns a $5,000 reward.

Three consecutive years of sales (top five in the region) for a store earns a local apartment.

After the news spread, all the Transsion stores became lively.

$2,000 is equivalent to twice the per capita annual income in Southeast Asia; taking Indonesia as an example, $5,000 is enough to buy a small house in the suburbs of Jakarta.

As for apartments in Jakarta, that's something many Indonesians cannot afford.

Store employees started going crazy; the already attentive service became even better.

Security guards who used to just stand guard started taking the initiative to chat with customers and introduce products.

Clerks who were only responsible for the cash register started studying mobile phone parameters and comparing the shortcomings of Samsung and Nokia with customers.

Drivers who were only responsible for deliveries also started helping with promotion and posting advertisements while delivering.

The former thugs also turned into gold-medal salespeople; as long as a customer came out of a Nokia or Samsung store empty-handed, they would be invited to the Transsion store next door...

The effect was obvious; in less than three days, Transsion's sales volume surged by another 30%. The already pathetic market share of the other few companies was bitten into by Transsion once again.

Over at Samsung and Nokia, their stores were only halfway through renovations when they discovered a problem.

They couldn't recruit anyone?

Even when channel distributors transferred people from other stores, no one was willing to go; after all, sales salaries were linked to shipment volume. Working next to Transsion was just asking for death, wasn't it?

Some channel distributors forced these frontline employees to transfer. Consequently, these employees simply resigned and joined Transsion to become gold-medal sales guides.

Transsion's salaries were higher, bonuses were better, and there were apartments as incentives; was there even a choice?

The Samsung Southeast Asia lead reported directly to headquarters.

He was silent for a long time before saying to Lee Kun-hee:

"Chairman, Transsion's tactics in Southeast Asia are exactly the same as in Africa."

Lee Kun-hee on the other side considered it for a long time: "I will handle my current work over the next two days and accompany you to the Southeast Asian market. I want to see just how difficult this really is."

Just as Lee Kun-hee decided to take command personally, he had no idea that his bottom line had been exposed again.

Transsion panel factory.

Manager Chen, the technical lead, hadn't closed his eyes for a day.

But he wasn't tired at all.

Standing in front of the experimental workbench, he watched the five-inch screen lighting up, his heart beating faster than ever.

It lit up.

The screen first lit up white, then red, green, blue... every color was very pure and transparent; the display effect was much better than current LCD screens.

"Manager Chen, the first round of lighting tests is complete, everything is normal."

The excited voice of a technician came over the walkie-talkie...

The core of their team was entirely Chinese, and the technical data came from the OLED Screen redeemed by Shen Fei... It was expected that they would use OLED Screens on Transsion's own mobile phones in 2012...

But unfortunately, the engineers from the United States were too enthusiastic; two teams came, directly advancing the scheduled breakthrough time by a full year.

Now, the first screen was directly in mass production, much faster than the project on the car side. Originally, both projects were prepared to be released in 2012, but now they were a step ahead.

"Start the second round of aging tests to see if our screen burn-in resistance can surpass Samsung."

The staff busied themselves, but Manager Chen already had an answer in his heart.

Samsung was just the minimum standard; this screen would definitely surpass it.

After arranging the testing work, he turned and left.

"Manager Chen, this thing... it really worked."

Manager Chen looked at them and patted their shoulders: "It worked. The first 1080p resolution OLED Screen in China is one we made ourselves at Transsion."

Except for the engineers who were testing, others were crying, cheering, or hugging and jumping around.

Manager Chen didn't stop them; after all, this was their base, and no one would complain.

More importantly, he knew what this meant.

A year ago, this factory site was still wasteland. Six months ago, the first evaporation machine was shipped from Japan, and it was even held up for a while due to reasons from the United States.

Three months ago, the first batch of trial-produced screens were a complete failure. The yield rate was zero!

Now they had finally lit up the first qualified OLED Screen, with a resolution of 1080... the display effect was slightly better than Samsung's, completely ending Samsung's monopoly in this field.
