Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 59 The Launch of the First Smartphone

At 5 p.m. sharp, the stadium lights were immediately turned off, and a very loud cheer erupted from the crowd.

They knew that when this appeared, the press conference would begin immediately.

"Transsion's mobile phones are specifically designed for Africans..."

With someone taking the lead, this cheer immediately became the loudest one at the scene.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, a spotlight shone on the center of the stage, and Adebayor slowly rose from the side of the platform.

At this press conference, he didn't use a microphone, but rather an earpiece. So he slowly waved to the audience around him.

Good evening, to our families in Nigeria and Africa.

Sixty thousand people responded in unison: "Good evening."

This time the noise was even louder, with some excited fans jumping up and down in the stands.

Adebayor was already in the zone, and to further engage his emotions, he shared some of his inspirational stories.

"A year ago, I was just a small vendor in the Bal Market. Every day I would squat by the roadside repairing old cell phones that had been discarded from European and American markets, and then sell them to my family."

I know those phones have poor signal, short battery life, and take pictures that make us look like dark shadows. But we had no choice, because they were the only ones we could afford.

Those tech companies think we're not worth developing here; they've abandoned the vast African market on the path of technological evolution.

Under his emotional influence, the stadium immediately fell silent. This wasn't because he was deliberately dissing competitors, nor was it because his words were particularly clever; it was simply because everyone had experienced it before.

Looking at the reaction from backstage, Li Qing nodded silently again. This trick had been used once before, but it still worked.

"Until one day, a young Chinese man came to my stall." Adebayo's eyes became excited. "He said he wanted to make a phone that was truly designed for Africans."

I laughed at his naiveté, because all the big companies told us: Africans only deserve cheap goods; the market is too small to warrant custom-made products, and even if we could, rising costs would make them unaffordable.

At this point, Adebayor paused again, allowing the emotional impact to resonate with everyone, so that it would have a better effect later.

He then raised his voice: "But he said Africans deserve better. And customization doesn't mean a price increase..."

Before Adebayor could finish his introduction, applause erupted. Some excited audience members even pulled on their neighbors and shouted:

"That's what he said: we deserve better."

"We deserve better!"

"That's just an excuse tech companies make for their laziness, and we need that too..."

After his excited voice subsided, Adebayor continued recounting this truly miraculous memory.

"At that time, he asked me what the people of Africa needed most."

I said the signal needs to be good because we also need to contact our families far away. Every young man who comes to Las Vegas is amazing; they carry the hopes of their families on their shoulders. They are all wonderful.

Also, the battery life needs to be long because we often experience power outages, and the photos need to be clear because we also want to capture our children's smiles.

At this point, Adebayor glanced again at some of the children in the audience, then gently wiped his eyes. The audience, needless to say, were already deeply moved, frantically wiping away tears.

Yes, they aren't native to Lax either. They came from various small towns in Nigeria. Although this place is more luxurious than their hometown, it's not their home...

It's not easy for a small place to support someone like them. They are the pride of their families and need to stay in touch with them.

"As for what happened next, everyone should know very well. He brought the Transsion T1, which was the first to feature quad SIM quad standby, long battery life, and even gave us free charging."

Most importantly, it only costs $99, which is affordable for everyone.

"Later he brought out the Power Max, which had longer battery life, the same quad-SIM quad-standby, but with better photography capabilities."

Although the price has increased, it is still not a luxury item, but a tool that everyone can afford.

"Family members in the audience, let me see the Transsion phones in your hands."

Immediately, a chorus of people pulling out their phones could be heard from below the stage. The phones then transformed into flags, which, along with their cheers, twinkled like stars.

"Today! We bring you a brand new gift: the smartphone era that belongs to Africa."

After the opening emotional build-up, Adebayor's voice changed to a relaxed and passionate one.

The words "smartphone" also appeared on the screen.

Although the Transsion S1 smartphone has been discontinued and distributed throughout Nigeria, many people still don't understand smartphones.

On stage, Adebayo pointed to the four large characters on the big screen and earnestly explained: "What is a smartphone? How is it different from our mobile phones?"

He then answered his own question, saying, "That's right. While Transsion brought us customized products, other technology companies in the world once again left us in the background."

They, the Europeans and Americans, are already using a completely new product: smartphones. These are new products that can connect to the internet, have no physical buttons, and can play videos.

The experience looks good, but don't be too disappointed. Their technology isn't great, and if you go to a slightly remote area, you'll encounter signal problems.

But as you can see from the slogans on our big screen today, Transsion has also brought you a brand new smartphone.

Another round of cheers erupted from the crowd, surpassing all others.

"Before I begin my formal introduction, I'd like to ask a question," Adebayor said, looking again at the audience, especially the guests in the front row.

How many people have actually used a so-called smartphone?

In the front row of guests, a few people sparsely raised their hands. Staff members who were already prepared immediately went over and handed them microphones.

"How do you feel?"

The lucky audience member who received the microphone immediately complained, "It's too expensive. It would have cost us at least $700."

"The battery life is terrible, the battery only lasts for half a day... the standby time is nowhere near that of Power Max."

"His photography skills are also terrible; he can't beat Transsion either."

"The internet connection is also very poor; sometimes it will suddenly drop while I'm on a call."

On stage, Adebayor immediately smiled: "Please note, everyone, these aren't actors we hired. I'd like to ask, are these all real problems you've encountered?"

"Really!" The lucky audience members nodded frantically.

"Yes, those phones weren't designed for us, so they have a whole host of problems." Adebayor walked back to center stage.

"They don't care about our poor internet here." Adebayo nodded and walked back to center stage. "They don't care about our frequent power outages, they don't care about our dark skin... but today everything will change."
