Chapter 203 Breaking the Monopoly: Mass Production of OLED Screens
Chapter 203 Breaking the Monopoly: Mass Production of OLED Screens
"Add...to"
Everyone else stared wide-eyed, thinking... thinking they were in for another beating today, but...
"Transsion has a security company in Indonesia and they're hiring. Although you guys have done bad things, you're well-known to the locals and you can fight and cause trouble."
Lai Chuanyin pays my monthly salary on time and also gives me a year-end bonus.
If you do well, you can get promoted and receive a raise. Isn't that much better than you just coasting along?
Of course, it wasn't done well...
Adebayor laughed again: "You know the consequences if you don't do a good job."
The bald man and his accomplices looked at each other in disbelief; they had never imagined such a turn of events.
So, led by these dozen or so men, Adebayor directly wiped out their base.
Play around as you please, but don't underestimate African warlords.
As for the outcome... the Indonesian authorities treated it as just a minor brawl, since this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice.
As long as no victims report, there's nothing to worry about.
…………
Three days later, Transsion Indonesia Security Company had several hundred more security guards.
The bald guy is called Agung; he used to be a small-time thug in East Jakarta, but now he's in charge of night patrols at the Transsion store. The blond guy is called Budi; he used to collect protection money, but now he delivers goods to the store.
The remaining people, some became security guards, some became drivers, and they did their jobs quite diligently.
The main reason is: if you don't do well, you'll get beaten.
…………
When the news reached the office, Wang Kai was shocked:
"Mr. Adeba, so you've... recruited them?"
Adebayo nodded: "Those thugs didn't sign any contracts; they just took the money and did the work."
Now that I've taught him a lesson, he's scared.
Having a legitimate job makes them more loyal than the average person.
Wang Kai was stunned for a long time before giving a thumbs up.
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant."
"What's so special about that?" said Li Qing, who had come to help temporarily. "Our security company even takes over small tribes in Africa; that's really impressive."
Just then, the head of the Indonesian regional publicity department rushed over: "Mr. Adebayor, there are some matters to attend to."
"explain."
"We did some research and found that Samsung and Nokia are planning to open stores next to our store."
At least 10 stores are located in areas we've already selected.
When will it open?
"Renovations will begin next month, and we expect to open in two months."
Adebayo nodded without saying anything. Based on their products alone, it was practically like having distributors give away free GGs.
We'll see how long they can hold out.
……
A day later, Transsion's Southeast Asia region issued an internal notice.
To incentivize frontline employees, the company has decided to establish a sales bonus system.
A $2000 bonus will be awarded to the top-selling store for six consecutive months.
The top-selling store for a consecutive year will receive a $5000 bonus.
Stores that achieve top sales (top five in the region) for three consecutive years will be awarded a local apartment.
After the news spread, all of Transsion's stores became lively.
$2000 is equivalent to twice the average annual income in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, for example, $5000 is enough to buy a small house in the suburbs of Jakarta.
As for apartments in Jakarta, many Indonesians cannot afford them.
The store staff went wild, and their already attentive service became even better.
The security guards, who were originally just standing guard, started to chat with customers and introduce products.
The shop assistants, who were originally only responsible for cashiering, began to study the specifications of mobile phones and compare the shortcomings of Samsung and Nokia with customers.
Originally just a delivery driver, he started helping with advertising and posting GG (Girl's Name) stickers while delivering goods.
The former thugs have been replaced by top salespeople. Whenever a customer leaves a Nokia or Samsung store without any items in their hands, they are invited to the neighboring Transsion store...
The effect was obvious; in less than three days, Transsion's sales surged by another 30%. The other markets, which were already struggling, were further eroded by Transsion.
For SanSang and Nokia, a problem was discovered when the store renovation was only halfway done.
Can't find enough people?
Even when distributors tried to transfer staff from other stores, no one was willing to go. After all, sales salaries are tied to sales volume, and working next to Transsion would be suicide.
Some distributors forced these frontline employees to change positions. As a result, these employees resigned and joined Transsion as top sales consultants.
Transsion offers higher salaries, more bonuses, and apartments as an incentive. Why would they choose?
The head of Sansang Southeast Asia reports directly to headquarters.
He remained silent for a long time before speaking to Lee Geon-hee:
"President, the way Transcendence plays in Southeast Asia is exactly the same as in Africa."
After thinking for a long time, Lee Geon-hee said, "I'll take care of my work for the next couple of days and then go to the Southeast Asian market with you."
I'd like to see just how difficult this really is.
…………
Just as Li Jianxi decided to personally lead the expedition, his secrets were exposed again.
Transsion panel factory.
Chen Mingyong, the technical lead, hasn't slept a wink all day.
But he wasn't tired at all.
Standing in front of the lab bench, looking at the five-inch screen that was lighting up, his heart was beating faster than ever.
Bright.
The screen first lit up in white, then red, green, blue... each color was pure and clear, and the display effect was much better than that of current LCD screens.
"Mr. Chen, the first round of power-on testing is complete, everything is normal."
The excited voice of the technician came through the walkie-talkie...
The majority of their team are Chinese, and their technical data comes from OLED screens obtained through a deal with Shenyang Aircraft Corporation... They plan to use OLED screens in Transsion's own mobile phones in 2012...
However, the engineers in America were so enthusiastic that two teams came, bringing forward the planned breakthrough by a full year.
The first screen is now in mass production, much faster than the automotive project. Both projects were originally planned for release in 2012, but they've moved ahead of schedule.
"Let's start the second round of aging tests and see if our screen burn-in resistance can surpass that of Samsung."
The staff got busy, but Chen Mingyong already had an answer in his mind.
The three-sun standard is just the minimum; this screen will definitely exceed that.
After arranging the testing, he turned and left.
"Mr. Chen, this thing... it's really done."
Chen Mingyong looked at them and patted them on the shoulder: "It's done."
"China's first 1080p resolution OLED screen was made by Transsion itself."
Aside from the engineers who were testing the equipment, some people were crying, some were cheering, and some were hugging each other and jumping for joy.
Chen Mingyong didn't stop them; after all, this was their base, and no one would complain.
More importantly, he knew what that meant.
A year ago, this factory was just wasteland. Six months ago, the first vapor deposition machine was shipped from Japan, and the shipment was delayed for a while due to issues in the United States.
Three months ago, the first batch of trial-produced screens all failed completely.
The yield rate is zero!
They've finally lit up their first working OLED screen, though the resolution is still 1080p...
The display effect is slightly better than that of Sanson, completely ending Sanson's monopoly in this field.
