61: Chapter 61 Global Premiere of Fruit Ninja

"But that's not all." Mr. Adebayo switched the PPT on the big screen once again.

"The S1 runs on Transsion's self-developed Taishan OS."

Regarding the system, although Mr. Adebayo really wanted to introduce Transsion's spirit of innovation, he feared that the people in front of him might not even know what an operating system was.

So, he had no choice but to gloss over it and simply announce the existence of Taishan OS to the world.

"A special feature of this system is its built-in offline maps; you can find your location even without a network.

Most importantly, it supports multi-language translation. It currently has twelve African languages, so when you go out, you no longer have to worry about running into a series of problems due to language barriers..."

When all these features appeared, the African audience in the audience could no longer sit still. Many people stood up, holding their wallets and shouting loudly: "How much! Tell us how much!"

Such excitement was the scene that mobile phone manufacturers most wanted to see. Mr. Adebayo smiled and walked to the edge of the stage. Looking at the countless expectant eyes below, he said slowly:

"Before officially introducing the price, let's first take a look at how much our competitors' products sell for?

For example, Samsung's Smartphone sells for 499 USD, and Apple's Smartphone also sells for that price. But that's just their launch price; when shipped here, it increases to 699 or 799 USD, or even more."

Seeing the numbers on the PPT, the hearts of many who were originally restless and excited calmed down, and the cheers died down immediately. The price was too high. Many people showed expressions of disappointment on their faces.

But some people nodded silently; they had bought them for even more...

"But today, Transsion has chosen to cut straight to the chase." Mr. Adebayo stood on the stage and shouted: "Because Transsion will never forget who helped us get through our most critical moments. Who were we born for?"

Golden numbers immediately exploded on the big screen, and the original price of 799 dropped instantly to 399 USD.

Silence!

Deathly silence, and then the audience's emotions completely erupted.

"399, my god!"

"Ah, so expensive..."

"Although it's not exactly cheap, this is a Smartphone, and it's worth that price."

"I'm going to buy it, it's even cheaper than I expected."

But just at this moment, Mr. Adebayo waved his hand again: "This price is significantly lower than our international peers, a full 100 USD lower, but it's still a bit expensive.

So, after repeated discussions by the board of directors, we have finally set aside 1 billion USD to subsidize the first batch of global Transsion Smartphone users, 50 USD each.

So the final price is..."

The original 399 on the big screen was instantly slashed, coming down to 349.

Now, the cheers at the scene were completely unstoppable. Many people waved their arms frantically, and some even threw their hats into the air.

Of course, there were also some people who excitedly hugged those around them.

Coupled with everyone wearing orange Transsion clothing, the entire stadium turned into...

The photographers also captured this important moment.

After this wave of excitement ended, Mr. Adebayo continued: "The first 10,000 buyers will receive an additional original protective case and official wired earphones, allowing you to enjoy better sound quality, as well as one year of free maintenance services."

The content of the maintenance services also appeared on the big screen: including but not limited to dust removal, phone cleaning, battery charging, and a series of other services.

"In addition, every audience member present today can enjoy an extra 10 USD discount, making the final price 339 USD."

On the other side, in Yangcheng, China.

Shen Fei and Zhang Mingzhu were also watching the broadcast of this press conference at home.

"This price... is only a little over 2000, right? Selling a Smartphone so cheaply, won't it lose money?" After saying this, Zhang Mingzhu wore a curious expression.

"It won't lose money, in fact, it can still make quite a bit. These phones can't compare to the one in your hand." After saying this, Shen Fei gently stroked Zhang Mingzhu's hair...

On the other side, at the Lagos National Stadium, the carnival had not yet ended.

After this discounted price was announced, the scene fell into a continuous frenzy.

But Mr. Adebayo also knew that price was just a stepping stone; what truly retains users is the experience. So, after finishing talking about the price, he took out a Transsion S1 again.

"Everyone!" He said loudly once again, his voice drowning out the carnival through the on-site sound system.

"I know what you are thinking. Buying a Smartphone for 349 is indeed a good deal.

But is it worth it? Besides making calls, taking better photos, and surfing the internet, what else can it do?"

The audience gradually quieted down, and many people focused their attention on him.

Besides these functions, what else could it do? After all, Transsion was a mobile phone manufacturer that highly respected them, so perhaps there would be new surprises.

"Today, I want to show you what makes the S1 truly unique."

Mr. Adebayo lit up the screen again, and a brand-new APP appeared on it: [fruit ninja]

The PPT behind him also changed to the two large characters: Games.

The Africans in the audience were no strangers to games; after all, the Transsion Power max, T1, and even the cheapest T80 had a few games on them.

But those were all simple button-based games, and they were still very curious about this brand-new game.

At the same time, the game screen from the phone was projected onto the big screen.

A simple interface appeared on the big screen, with a background of blue sky and white clouds. Various fruits rose from the bottom of the screen: watermelons, bananas, strawberries, oranges... as well as bombs.

"This game is called 'fruit ninja', a global launch, currently exclusive to Transsion users." Mr. Adebayo introduced it while his fingers quickly swiped across the screen.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Following the trajectory of his fingers, the fruits split open upon contact. Coupled with the excellent technology of the programmers at PopCap, the interface's special effects were magnificent, and one could even see fruit juice splashing out.

After slicing multiple fruits in a row, the word "COMBO" appeared on the screen, and the score skyrocketed.

Bursts of exclamations also sounded from the audience.

Originally, Mr. Adebayo didn't think there was anything fun about such a game, but later, as the game gradually improved, and after trying it out himself, he instantly felt...

Furthermore, this fruit-slicing game was the fruit ninja Pro Max developed by Shen Fei, incorporating game features from later generations.

In addition to the original game functions, it also added leaderboards, two-player racing, and most importantly, a feature for playing together with friends. Of course, he wouldn't forget some small paid items.

"This game has been specially optimized for the S1." Mr. Adebayo explained while operating it, his eyes shifting from the big screen and the stage to the phone screen, fearing that he might slice that little bomb.
