533: Chapter 531 The Auditor with a Way to Die
As his voice fell, the on-site technician gave him an OK gesture.
Mr. Adebayo raised his phone and, in front of everyone, made a video call to his colleague far away in Abuja.
"Writing this here, I hope readers will remember our domain name, Taiwan Novel Network, for a great experience, absolutely awesome."
The screen lit up instantly, and his colleague's face appeared clearly on the screen. The audio was smooth, and the video quality was far superior to 3G.
He even turned the phone toward the camera to show the scenes of the office in Abuja one by one. There was still no buffering and no pixelation.
"Did you see that?"
Mr. Adebayo held his phone high and loudly recommended it to everyone.
"This is 4G. In the past, when using a Smartphone, even making a voice call would be choppy, and loading a picture would take forever. As for data costs, they were incredibly expensive. But from today on, everything is different."
"Holy crap, is this 4G? It's so smooth!"
"No, this is 4G that we Africans have participated in. This technology is even more impressive."
"We have finally waited for this day."
The people in the audience immediately surged forward, witnessing this historic moment together.
After all, to them, a smooth network was something that only existed on television, a patent of Western countries.
But now, Transsion had brought it right before their eyes.
The Nigerian National Television station scrambled to prepare, and that very evening, they broadcast this to all the people of Nigeria.
Mr. Adebayo waved his hand again, and the scene quickly quieted down.
"I know what everyone is looking forward to the most is the price."
He smiled again and said: "Do you remember when we, Transsion Telecom, first launched? Besides promising jobs, we also made promises about pricing.
After recent discussions with Chairman Shen, I promise once again that the price can be even cheaper.
From now on, when you watch videos, make video calls, or meet with family far away, you will no longer have to worry about data issues."
There was another round of cheers from the audience; as an African, Mr. Adebayo was indeed able to secure benefits for them.
"In the coming year, we will build 2,000 base stations across the country, in Lagos, Abuja, Kano...
Every state and every county will be covered by the 4G network. In the future, it won't just be big cities; even in small towns, you will be able to use a fast and cheap network."
The cheers at the scene were absolutely deafening.
"Mr. Adebayo!"
"Long live Transsion!"
"Mr. Adebayo, when will we be able to use this network?"
At this moment, a member of the public asked the security personnel nearby.
The on-site security personnel had long since formed a human wall to maintain security, as Mr. Adebayo had been swarmed.
But he saw this scene, so he walked over to them and said:
"The experimental network will be open to the surrounding public starting today."
"Everyone can come over now to experience watching videos and making video calls, all for free.
Official commercial use will start next month, at which point all Transsion Smartphone users can directly upgrade to the 4G plan."
The crowd immediately surged forward, surrounding the few display phones at the experience booth, wanting to try the 4G network.
But their methods of testing were nothing more than watching short gaming videos or calling family members in the countryside.
Mr. Adebayo looked at the audience without saying much; after all, these were prime targets for the industry.
While they were experiencing it, he instructed the person in charge of Transsion Telecom next to him:
"Speed up the construction of base stations, prioritizing densely populated cities and commercial areas.
In addition, our business promotion speed will be much faster. Communicate with the people from Huawei and prioritize providing us with base station resources."
"Understood, Mr. Adebayo.
Currently, the representatives from Huawei have completed the second batch of personnel training, with about 1,280 people passing the exam. They can all take on the task of independently building base stations.
We can now start more than 30 projects simultaneously, and some projects are already completed. I will definitely not delay this competition."
"Good. I have discussed it with Chairman Shen; the price can be even cheaper. We must occupy the market as much as possible; this relates to our subsequent layout!
If we ruin Chairman Shen's plans, we will all be in deep trouble; getting fired would be the lightest consequence..."
The person in charge of Transsion Telecom nodded and walked away quickly.
Mr. Adebayo nodded. Recently, some people have started getting cocky again...
We must hold a celebration meeting; we must let these people know who gave them their meals!
Without Transsion, where would they be!
Of course, if words can't persuade them, he also knows a few tricks. After all, the gear in the hands of the security team is not just for show.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, in Washington, United States.
At 4:00 PM, at the visa review office under the Department of Homeland Security.
Jack Thompson, an ordinary auditor who had been on the job for two years, was entrusted with important tasks due to his integrity.
But at this moment, he frowned at his computer screen.
After all, during this period, he was responsible for the visa review of highly educated individuals and their families, and he held a list of key targets issued from above.
It was full of names of top-tier talent and their families.
But this month, he discovered something wrong.
More than 30 family members on the list had successively applied for tourist visas, with Vancouver, Canada, filled in as the destination.
But he checked the accompanying flight tickets; without exception, these people all flew to Vancouver first, and then, after staying for no more than 48 hours, transferred to Hong Kong, China.
What was even stranger was that these applications were all signed and approved directly by his immediate supervisor, Department Head Davis.
According to regulations, the visa applications of families of people on the red list must undergo a three-level review, but these applications didn't even go through the review process and were approved directly.
His sense of justice was immediately ignited.
Jack took the printed application records and walked to the door of Davis's office, knocking on the door.
"Come in!"
Davis was still reading the newspaper; to be precise, he was calculating his personal slush fund, as he had made quite a bit of money recently.
Previously, other departments in the Department of Commerce had made a killing on investments and acquisitions, and now they were able to have a taste of it too.
"Supervisor, I have something I would like to ask about." Jack placed the document on the table; his sense of justice made him even sound a bit accusatory when facing his leader.
"Supervisor, in the past month or so, there have been more than 30 red-list scholar family applications that you signed off on directly.
According to regulations, these should go through a special review process, and their actual destination should be China, not Canada. Is there something wrong here?"
Davis still didn't take him seriously and continued reading the report. After a while, he slowly put down the newspaper:
"You young man, I know you want to make contributions, but people are going on vacation. Where they go after Canada is their own business.
The red list is just for key monitoring, not a ban on leaving the country. They haven't broken any laws, so why shouldn't we let them go?"
