62: The unique features of the S system
"This game can demonstrate three things, each of which is closely related to us.
First, the touch response speed of the S1. Everyone can see that the trajectory of my finger swipe is perfectly synchronized with the blade flash on the screen, with a latency of less than 0.1 seconds.
This level of responsiveness is something many Smartphones cannot achieve; compared to those phones, the experience will be much better."
"Secondly, it's the graphics processing capability. Look at the juice splashing effects; every frame is smooth, providing a very immersive feeling.
As for the last point..."
He deliberately slowed down to let a bomb rise.
"Careful!" Some audience members, who had already immersed themselves in the game segment, hurriedly slapped their thighs in excitement.
But Mr. Adebayo's finger gently and accurately swiped past the bomb.
"Bang!" The screen dimmed, and the game announced it was over.
"The last point is..." He put the phone back into his pocket and said with a smile, "It's fun."
The venue erupted in applause and cheers of great anticipation.
"So, how much does this fun game cost? I can responsibly tell everyone that starting today, this game can be downloaded for free from the Transsion App Store."
Mr. Adebayo exited the game and entered the store interface. The ecosystem of the Taishan OS had already improved quite a bit, but it was still somewhat simple.
"We promise here that it's not just fruit ninja; in the next three months, we will successively launch over 10 games specifically developed for Africa users.
There will be soccer games, adventure games adapted from local legends, and some educational games for children."
He looked at the children in the audience and said solemnly, "Yes, children can also use the S1 to learn. We have corresponding literacy software, number games, and even introductory programming courses... all of these are free."
Many people who were already parents had their eyes light up instantly; this wasn't just buying a Smartphone, it was clearly buying a smart tutor. At that price of over 300 USD, it was an even better value.
Buy it, must buy it!
"After introducing the optimizations that game users care about most, let's introduce social software that is closely related to everyone."
Mr. Adebayo switched to social software again: "Do you recognize this icon?"
A logo shaped like the continent of Africa appeared on the screen, with "Afro Chat" written below it.
"Afro Chat!" a young person in the audience shouted. "I've used the computer version, it's very easy to use, and I have over 10 friends on it."
"That's right, it is that very software, and now it has a mobile version." Mr. Adebayo opened the app on stage.
"This was developed by a startup company in Lagos, Nigeria. On Afro Chat, you can chat with friends all over Africa; it supports text, voice, and even video calls."
He demonstrated it on the spot by sending a message to his assistant. Because the technical optimization wasn't quite perfect yet, the assistant received the reply after 2 seconds.
But this speed was already a huge improvement compared to text messages, and most importantly, it was free...
"More importantly..." Mr. Adebayo opened the app's settings interface again.
"Afro Chat is deeply integrated with the S1 system. For example, it can call upon the S1's multi-language translation function. You send an English message, and the other person can translate it into Hausa, Swahili, or French."
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, then gently clicked the page-turning key on the PPT.
"This means a person from Kenya can chat with a person from Senegal without barriers. Africa is a very large continent with thousands of languages, but Afro Chat connects everyone together.
Transsion can allow everyone to chat without barriers."
Thunderous applause erupted again from the audience. Many young people had already taken out their Feature phones, looking at Mr. Adebayo on stage with expressions of envy on their faces.
"But that's not all." Mr. Adebayo continued to swipe through the software store interface.
"The S1 also comes pre-installed with the offline map AfriMap, which can be used without a network. As for the mobile payment T-pay, this software is currently under further negotiation, and in the future, it will support currencies from more than 20 countries.
Music streaming service BeatFlow; this software contains over 100,000 Africa songs."
He demonstrated one application after another, each addressing the real needs of Africa users.
Many audience members applauded passionately, but what they didn't know was that these software titles were paid for by the app developers.
Installing each one on a Smartphone cost one dollar, which was all extra profit for the S1.
And this was only because Huaxin Investment was their major shareholder; otherwise, such a detailed launch event, advertising, and installation service would have cost at least three dollars...
"I know many people might ask, can't these apps be installed on other Smartphones?" Mr. Adebayo really put the phone away this time and looked at the whole audience.
"Of course they can be installed. But the experience is completely different.
Because these software titles are deeply developed based on Taishan OS. It can call upon the S1's hardware capabilities, but other Smartphones cannot."
He walked slowly on the stage, his voice very sincere: "What Transsion wants to build is not just a Smartphone, but a complete ecosystem.
From hardware to software, from applications to services, every link and every detail is optimized for Africa.
Because..."
He stopped again, then said word by word: "We believe that people in Africa deserve the best technology experience, not the leftovers of European and American products."
This sentence was like a spark thrown into dry firewood, instantly igniting the entire stadium.
"Transsion! Transsion! Transsion!"
Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, their voices growing louder and louder each time. Standing under the spotlight, Mr. Adebayo watched the frenzied scene, his eyes slightly moist.
It wasn't that he was moved by himself, but rather he realized that this Smartphone was a sure success in the Africa market!
Meanwhile, the team at the China headquarters was also watching the real-time sales data.
One hour after the launch event started, the pre-order volume for the S1 began to grow crazily. At the same time, this number was still increasing at a rate of hundreds per minute.
Li Qing also excitedly shouted into the phone: "Mr. Shen, it's a success, a complete success. It's hard to say about other Smartphone markets, but for the Africa Smartphone market, from now on, everyone must trust Transsion."
Shen Fei also nodded. Mr. Adebayo's performance had once again exceeded his expectations, but his own demeanor didn't change much, as if this was all within his expectations.
Beside him, Li Ziqi nodded in admiration again; it had to be the boss...
Being able to stay calm in such a big situation, this kind of strategic mastery, she still had a lot to learn...
