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

Chapter 281 8.5% stake, a new channel?

"When were they ready?"

Lin Bin shook his head. He had only received the news shortly after Lei Jun took office.

Although he could have communicated through the headset, he decided to hold it back to ensure the best effect...

Lei Jun also knew that this was not the place to discuss the issue, and wanted to go to the rest area to relax.

But his mood had already been affected, and his walking posture had changed noticeably; he even stumbled as he descended the last step...

Fortunately, Lin Bin intervened in time, otherwise Lei Jun might have...

Tomorrow's headline might read: Lei Jun was so scared by a competitor that he collapsed to the ground.

The initial sales figures were released at 6 p.m. that day.

Adebayor looked at the report and smiled.

Transsion Spake sold 20.3 units on its first day.

Redmi India sold 36.8 units during the same period.

Although Redmi sold 10 more units, bringing the total to nearly 20, Adebayor was not worried at all.

Because he knew that the Indian version of Redmi had been advertised for more than half a month, and its first-day sales were only 36.8 units.

Originally, this number was at least 50, but Transsion's 20 is what they snatched from them, and these were their original mid-to-high-end customers.

After all, Transsion Spake is only about $100 more expensive than them, but Transsion has a stronger chip and a larger battery. Unless the budget is really tight, the answer to how consumers should choose is clear.

After all, consumers aren't stupid; they can do the math, especially the poor.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lei Jun was looking at the sales report in his office, and his unease grew stronger.

"Lin Bin, why is my sales only slightly ahead of theirs?"

Lin Bin knew Lei Jun had an answer in mind, but since he had been asked, he could only reply:

"Mr. Lei, Transsion's configuration is better than ours."

As long as the budget isn't a major constraint, users will naturally choose them as their first mobile phone.

Just like in the domestic market, most people use their first mobile phone for a long time.

"What about our distribution channels? What about Reliable's distribution channels?"

"Reliable channels are strongly recommending it, but Transsion has also partnered with other operators."

and……"

"And what?" Rebus's unease grew stronger. It seemed he was really following the other party's rhythm.

"Transsion's channel strategy is different from ours."

They operate on a cash-before-delivery basis; distributors must pay the full amount upon receiving the goods, or else they can forget about it.

We can offer credit.

"Payment before delivery? The distributor is willing."

In normal business cooperation, proposing this method is only possible under an absolute monopoly.

After all, most people are unwilling to bear the cost burden themselves, so Transsion must have its reasons for doing so.

So he didn't think it was a stupid method, and Lei Jun panicked instantly.

"Yes. According to our survey results, most people were originally unwilling, with only a small minority being willing."

But someone made a move, supposedly...

Lin Bin didn't say the name, but Lei Bus already had an answer in his mind.

Mukesh! Anil's brother.

But this also gave Lei Jun a breather. Although it was bad news, it wasn't the worst news.

After all, this means that both he and Chuanyin have become pawns. Since they are pawns, the people behind both sides are unwilling to let their side lose, so this is the best news.

Of course, if Shen Fei were here, he would definitely expose Lei Jun's little scheme.

This is indeed a chessboard, and there are only two players operating it, but it's a little different from what Lei Jun said.

Just then, Lin Bin's phone rang again; it was Anil calling.

He answered the phone, and his expression stiffened.

"What happened now?"

"Annil called and said he could help us contact other telecom operators."

For example, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone. They're still wavering between us and the new one.

but……"

"But what?"

"Annil is demanding an additional 2.5% stake, and 3% stake for each of the other two companies."

Rebus closed his eyes, and Anil revealed his fangs so quickly.

70/30!

He's leaving so suddenly, with 8.5% of the shares; his ambition is truly undisguised.

…………

Lei Jun delayed for several days regarding the issue of new channel cooperation.

On August 5th, Anil arranged to meet Rebus again at his private club.

The meeting took place in an old villa in southern Mumbai. The decor was very retro, with Indian classical paintings hanging on the walls and a lot of antique furniture in the corners.

Anil, dressed in a white Indian robe, sat on the sofa drinking tea.

"Mr. Lei, please have a seat."

Anil poured him a cup of tea, with a sales report next to it.

With Lei Jun increasing his promotional efforts in recent days, Redmi's sales have also increased.

In just four days, sales reached 198 million, averaging 500,000 per day. Reliable Telecom added 118 million new users and also saw a certain increase in market share.

However, Transsion also has 108 million users. Although the gap between the two is huge, the quality of users is different, and the packages they subscribe to are also different. The operators they cooperate with earn more.

This intensified Anil's dissatisfaction.

He invested so much money, yet he didn't even earn as much as his troublemaking brother. There's no such logic in the world.

Lei Jun glanced at the report, smiled nonchalantly, and brought up the topic himself.

"Mr. Anil, I've been thinking about what you said a few days ago..."

Before Lei Jun could begin his long speech, the other party interrupted him.

"Oh? Just tell me the result..."

"8.5% of the shares in total is too much. I can only give you..."

Leibusi still didn't say anything, so Anil put down his teacup and interrupted him, which further aggravated Leibusi's sense of frustration.

"Mr. Lei, do you know how many cities Bharti Airtel's distribution channels cover?"

"I know. 1500, I plan to get 1200."

Anil's face regained its confident expression.

"We cover 2000 cities, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone together cover 2700, and if I help you connect with rice distribution channels in India, our coverage can expand from 2000 cities to 3500."

It covers almost the entire territory of India.

This is something even telepathy couldn't achieve; they only covered developed areas, leaving some underdeveloped areas untouched.

He picked up the teacup on the table again, gave Leibusi a moment to think, and then spoke again.

"Do you think it's expensive to exchange 5% of the shares for these 1500 city distribution channels?"
