Chapter 201 Despicable Methods
Chapter 201 Despicable Methods
Chen Zhengguang closed his eyes, recalling his glorious youth.
When the Chen family was founded, Indonesia was in chaos, but he had a ruthless streak and fought his way up from the ranks of established families...
It was won through real fighting, without any preconceived notions.
but now……
His nephew was unaware of this, but he knew that Transsion had already established a security company in Indonesia.
Nominally, it provides bodyguard services to all Chinese-owned enterprises, but in reality, it protects Transsion's own stores.
The company has already recruited 1500 people in Indonesia, all of whom are locals, including some veterans and a group of instructors.
And he also has a gun license...
And this is just Indonesia; Transsion has a presence throughout Southeast Asia.
This isn't just security, this is absolutely...
The problems Transsion encountered in Vietnam. As far as he knew, the solution wasn't the so-called opening of factories or joint cooperation, but rather outright coercion and inducement.
"The waters here run deep; if we force a fight, we'll be the ones who die."
He handed Chen Jiahao a piece of paper from Transsion Security Group.
Chen Jiahao saw the piece of paper and didn't move for a long time.
…………
Three days later, Transsion's orders in Indonesia exceeded 70 units.
Of these, the V1 smartphone accounted for 25 units, and the T80 series accounted for 30 units.
The price-performance ratio has once again won out, which has prompted other manufacturers to hurl insults.
In those three days, Transsion practically devoured the entire Indonesian market.
Other businesses didn't just experience a decline, they plummeted. Their stores are on the verge of closing down...
At the same time, construction began simultaneously in multiple cities including Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung, and Transsion's directly operated stores began renovations.
Two Indonesian men in black suits stood guard at the entrance of each store. They were from a security company, nominally security guards, but in reality, they were more like the face of Transsion in Indonesia.
On the same day, at Gionee's Indonesian branch headquarters, Li Ming received a phone call: he was being dismissed and was to return to China immediately; a new person in charge would take office the next day.
The call came directly from Lu Weibin, leaving him no chance to argue...
…………
Guangzhou, Transsion Technology Headquarters.
Li Qing came excitedly to report: "President Shen, Gionee Mobile has backed down, and Li Ming has been removed from his post."
Shen Fei looked up and asked, "Who's in charge?"
"Lu Weibin has kept things very secret. We don't know much about him yet. He'll be on duty tomorrow, probably as a troubleshooter."
Shen Fei nodded and continued looking at the reports.
"Boss, aren't you curious?" Wang Hua couldn't help but ask.
"What are you curious about?"
"Li Ming has been removed from his post, we've won. It's not a huge deal, but it shouldn't be this calm, right?"
"Li Qing, this is nothing. Li Ming is just a small fry. Our competitor in Southeast Asia will never be Gionee, but Sansang."
"Moreover, Lu Weibin is still with Gionee, their channels are still there, and their network of relationships is still there."
Anyone else can run this market.
The only reason we can't continue fighting now is the rising prices in the global supply chain. Our costs are low, so we can offer the lowest prices, which is our biggest advantage in the short term.
"Don't be arrogant."
Wang Hua nodded.
Cost-effectiveness is indeed Transsion's biggest weapon right now, but this weapon can only be used temporarily and not for a long time.
"The boss understands. We will take the initiative in the Vietnamese market from now on."
Shen Fei nodded, preparing to give instructions, but then his phone rang.
It was Adebayor calling.
"Boss, things over there are all sorted out."
Samsung employees have been recalled to South Korea, and Lee Kun-hee personally oversaw the matter.
"here you go!"
"But..." Adebayo paused, gathering his thoughts, "I just received word that Samsung Vietnam has been contacting local thugs these past few days. Nokia is also making moves..."
"What action?"
"It's said they're giving targets to petty thugs: whoever dares to work for us will face pressure from their families..."
One team has already been apprehended and is currently being taught a lesson.
Shen Feifei slammed her fist on the table in anger, and Li Qing's face next to her also turned very ugly.
Manufacturers generally don't target their employees when competing with each other.
That's the rule of competition, but now Samsung and Nokia are breaking the rule...
"Adebayor, you will stay in Southeast Asia for a while longer. Address any problems immediately..."
…………
Unfortunately, when Adebayo arrived in Jakarta, he was caught in a downpour, and his flight was delayed by more than two hours.
It was already evening when he walked out of the airport. Wang Kai picked him up in his car, and the two went directly to Jakarta to handle some business.
"President Adebayor, welcome to our office."
"Not bad, young man. You're already handling things on your own. How's the situation here?"
"Fortunately, it's within a controllable range."
"Boss, you've worked hard." Wang Kai poured him a glass of water. "You still need to help me control the situation. How's it going in Vietnam?"
"It's all settled." He plopped down on the sofa. "San Sang's people have been recalled to the country, and Lee Geon-hee handled it personally."
The one who led the group was reportedly transferred to manage the warehouse upon returning.
Wang Kai nodded, a look of admiration on his face.
"As expected of the boss, his abilities are truly impressive."
Shen Fei also called.
Wang Kai immediately sat up straight, awaiting further instructions.
But Shen Fei simply asked, "How well do you understand the market in Indonesia?"
"I did some research on the way." He pulled a notebook out of his bag. "I've met with quite a few Sansang distributors in Indonesia, Vietnam, and other places these past few days."
The terms were straightforward: anyone opening a store next to a Transsion store would receive a 10% discount and a one-month extension on payment terms.
"What about Nokia?"
"Nokia was even better." He turned to another page of the document. "They sent a direct notice to the distributors that all major distributors had to achieve a 5:1 ratio."
"At least one of the six stores must be located next to Transsion; otherwise, the distributorship will be revoked, and the partnership will be terminated forever."
Shen Fei sat up, and Zhang Mingzhu next to him opened her eyes.
"How's it going with the distributors?"
"They're probably divided into two groups." He handed the materials in his hand to Wang Kai next to him. "The major distributors, especially those who have cooperated with Samsung and Nokia for many years, have basically backed down."
They dared not offend the giants, and since they had some advantages in terms of purchase price and payment terms, they decided to give it a try.
After all, they still have to rely on Samsung and Nokia.
"The reaction of small distributors..."
"Most small distributors are discussing changing careers, but this has also given some other people pause for thought."
On the other end of the phone, Shen Fei asked directly, "This battle is in your hands. How do you plan to fight it?"
Adebayor smiled:
"Boss, we'll fight the same way we fight in Africa."
"If you're not happy, then let's fight." He grinned. "Those distributors are cowards, aren't they? Let them know that being a coward doesn't work."
