7: Chapter 7 Establishment of African Security

"Kid, you can fool others, but you can't fool me!"

"Since you're so confident, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Cooperation is all about making money in harmony."

"How about this: the purchase price for each T100 phone will be 28 dollars."

"For the charging station project, you only need to invest once, while I need to invest continuously."

"I'm losing too much, so based on this investment, it should be a 1-9 split."

"In the long run, you definitely won't lose money."

Just as the conference room fell into silence, Li Qing's mocking laughter suddenly broke the tense atmosphere.

"Manager Wang, you've really thought this through!"

"Taking such a big cut, aren't we just working for you?"

"If we do it this way, why don't we just build our own channels..."

Wang Jianguo's expression changed again, gradually turning livid, but that trace of anger quickly vanished, replaced by a matching mocking smile!

"Do you have the money for that?"

"As far as I know, Transsion is just a fourth-rate manufacturer in China, and you can't even get by in your own country."

"Do you have the guts... and the strength?"

"You should know that in this business, you rely on strength! And I am strength."

After saying this, Wang Jianguo stepped on a stool and looked confidently in Shen Fei's direction.

Clap, clap, clap!

A round of applause rang out, interrupting Li Qing, who was about to continue speaking.

"Why not!"

"You should know that even a fourth-rate enterprise is still from China, not from poor Nigeria."

"Here, human life is the least valuable thing."

"I can completely build free channels."

"Today, 7 stall owners from Bal Market have already contacted me, willing to distribute Transsion phones..."

"Do you think these small vendors would rather continue to pay your commission, or would they rather become our vanguard for Transsion under our support, even if it means paying with their lives?"

Wang Jianguo fell silent.

Shen Fei threw an agreement over: "This is the cooperation agreement."

"The purchase price for each Transsion T100 is 35 dollars, and the purchase price for the upcoming T80 model is 20 dollars."

"The charging station project will be a 50-50 split."

"Furthermore, your flagship store can only sell Transsion phones, and the 12 branches must prioritize displaying Transsion phones."

"Sign it, and I'll pretend you were never here today; you will remain an important partner for Transsion in Lagos."

"Business needs to be big; make the cake bigger, instead of guarding a small cake by yourself and not letting anyone touch it."

Wang Jianguo took the contract, looked at it for a few minutes, and the anger in his heart completely flared up.

He crumpled the report into a ball and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

Then he pointed at Shen Fei and said: "Good kid, ruthless enough."

"This is the first time someone has tried to slaughter me like a pig. You will pay the price."

He looked at the brothers behind him and signaled with his eyes to give them a little lesson...

But these lackeys weren't stupid.

Bullying the weak was one thing.

Fighting against Shen Fei's professional and locally reinforced security team...

Come on, they were just trying to make a living, not looking to be reincarnated; they didn't have resurrection scrolls.

"Fine kid, I admit defeat! Just wait."

After Wang Jianguo left, Li Qing couldn't help but say worriedly: "Manager Shen, did we mess this up?"

"No."

"He didn't come here to negotiate in the first place."

"People's greed is infinite."

"Do you believe that if I had agreed, he would have changed his mind again when it came time to sign the contract?"

"For a proper Chinese enterprise to go to Africa to alleviate poverty, only to be bullied by local thugs—that's simply a joke."

"So this cooperation is fundamentally impossible."

Shen Fei rubbed his eyes casually, as if he had just been bothered by a few flies.

"But Manager Shen, tens of thousands of dollars a month is not a small amount of money in China, let alone in Nigeria..."

"He definitely won't let this go."

"It's fine."

"No matter how tough he thinks he is, he's just a small-time thug."

"In Africa, that kind of person is the least scarce commodity."

"As long as you pay enough, you can grab a handful of them."

Chen Hai didn't dwell on these things; he was thinking about another issue, so he suddenly spoke up: "Manager Shen, can we negotiate the battery technology?"

"If we can set up a small power storage station combined with solar energy, that would be a good choice, but current lead-acid batteries are too heavy and their lifespan is too short."

"If we can negotiate it, we can consider a new direction, which can also prevent them from playing dirty."

Shen Fei looked at the system interface.

[Task progress 22%, remaining time 176 days.]

The progress had moved up quite a bit, but it still wasn't enough.

"Still negotiating."

"Currently, our main business is solving the channel problem."

"Let's see his choice tomorrow; that young man is no ordinary person."

"Perhaps he could become our agent in Africa, and at that time, we can take the opportunity to establish our security group."

"If he agrees, we will get the T80 series done as soon as possible; low price is the key."

In the middle of the night, Shen Fei stood in front of the hotel window, overlooking the night view of Lagos.

This city was not as prosperous as it appeared during the day; the wealthy areas in the distance were still brightly lit, but there were more dark slums.

The charging problem needed to be solved even more than the signal problem, and it was also easier to solve.

[System Prompt: Detected data shows deep insight into the target market. Task understanding improved, unlocking hidden information.]

[Hidden Information: The African market is highly competitive, not only from other brands but also from the extreme lack of infrastructure. Whoever can solve the charging problem can win the market. Task Reward: Graphene solar charging panel!]

Shen Fei's eyes lit up.

This system might be a bit dull, but when it matters, it really delivers!

In 2008, the solar photovoltaic industry had doubled compared to the previous year.

As long as he secured it, he could take advantage of the massive infrastructure projects during the economic crisis and directly turn things around to become a true tech giant.

By then, mobile phones and such would just be a side business...

[Task progress 32%]

The progress bar rose again.

Shen Fei immediately picked up his notebook and began drafting a high-end T-series phone.

Article Title: Transsion TECNO T1—A national phone truly designed for Africa.

Core selling points: 10-day ultra-long standby.

Requires new battery technology.

Quad-SIM, portrait algorithms specifically for Africa.

When the time comes to launch several phones together, the High-density battery technology and graphene heat sink will definitely be secured steadily.

Halfway through writing, his phone rang; it was a text message from Chen Hai.

"Manager Shen, combining today's investigation with some research I've done, many areas in Africa have abundant sunshine. Solar energy is an excellent charging solution."

"However, current solar panels have too low a conversion efficiency and the cost is too high."

"If there were a high-efficiency, low-cost solar technology... expanding into the African market would be much easier."

Shen Fei replied: "Engineer Chen, I understand. Leave the technical issues to me."

"You focus on the product design; I have prepared another plan here, and we will start mass production after returning to the country."

Putting down the phone, he opened the system interface again.

5% market share, 180 days; time was tight, but the path was already clear.

The next morning, just as the sky over Lagos had brightened, while Shen Fei was having breakfast in the hotel restaurant, he saw the stall owner from yesterday through the window.

At this moment, he was standing anxiously outside the hotel entrance, looking inside from time to time.

"Li Qing, go and invite that friend in."

Shen Fei put down the teacup in his hand; as a reborn person, he still preferred drinking tea.

"Prepare a breakfast for him as well."
