Chapter 156 Taishan OS 2.0
"Later we made a decision to go to a place with a larger population, but where market competition was not so fierce."
Although the profits were meager, survival was our only option at the time.
At that time, we had two options: Africa or India.
Ultimately, we chose Africa.
Several photos appeared on the screen: on the streets of Las Vegas, Adebayor stood in front of a mobile phone stall, smiling at the camera.
This was the very beginning of telepathic communication.
Immediately afterwards, the voice transmission said, "Just like a hooligan," and there, they painted the walls, which started a chain reaction, and the market increased dramatically.
The last chart shows sales statistics: cumulative shipments to Africa have exceeded 100 million units.
"Some people say that Transsion can only capture the low-end market with low prices. Africa is so poor, what high-end phones can they sell there?"
Shenfei took a step forward: "But these people are making a mistake based on empiricism. The real African market is much larger than we imagine."
The last image on the big screen has been upgraded again.
The T80 series and its derivatives account for 40% of sales, but the T1 and Power Max also account for about 50% of the market share.
To their disbelief, Transsion S1's sales accounted for more than 8% of the total.
The average selling price of all products is US$105, which is approximately RMB 700.
"Transsion S1, this is our first smartphone. It has taken the top spot in the high-end smartphone market in Africa."
What is the probability of this happening?
Seeing the curious audience below the stage, Shen Fei also walked around the stage for a bit.
Finally, he gently pressed the page-turning button: "Up to 87%, 8.7 out of every 10 high-end mobile phones are Transsion."
The audience paused for a moment, then erupted in enthusiastic applause.
The director also gave Zhang Shiqing a close-up shot, in which he clapped his hands continuously and nodded rhythmically.
Encouraging businesses to expand overseas remains the provincial government's top priority.
In Kyoto, Lei Jun, watching the broadcast, jotted down several markets in his notebook: India, Africa, Southeast Asia…
Making money from rice is essential, but that seems a bit difficult in the country…
Could it be that India is the final destination?
On stage, Shen Fei stopped and pointed to the PPT, saying, "Transsion mobile phones have accumulated over 100 million users..."
87%? 100 million users?
The combination of these two numbers was incredibly impactful, intensifying Lei Jun's desires.
After all, this is 100 million users, not 100 million phones.
India, also a populous country, should have this potential as well.
"Someone asked me, 'Mr. Shen, you're doing so well in Africa, why did you come back?'"
The PowerPoint presentation behind it showcased outstanding achievements, including a market share of over 20% in Africa and an annual growth rate of 135%.
Shen Fei looked at the audience members who were deep in thought:
"Because the domestic situation is more important."
He turned around and pointed to the Chinese market analysis chart behind him.
"This place has billions of users, the world's largest mobile phone market, the most discerning users, and the fiercest competition."
As a Chinese mobile phone brand, if it cannot gain a foothold in the domestic market, it will never become a true king.
Because this is our root.
Shen Fei raised his voice a little higher, as if he were shouting a slogan.
"Transsion returned from Africa not to harvest users, but to prove that Chinese brands can also have their own core technologies, lead industrial development, and harvest the world together. Our goal is the stars and the sea."
The applause rang out again, even more enthusiastic than before.
After all, breaking through America's technological blockade is indeed exciting, and as for the vast universe, it may really be possible in the future!
Zhang Shiqing nodded gently again from below the stage. The child was right.
……
After the applause subsided, Shen Fei got down to business.
"The first thing at this press conference is not the phone's appearance, which everyone is most looking forward to."
Instead, it's our self-developed TaiShan OS 2.0.
The TaiShan OS logo reappeared on the big screen, with a line of small text below it: Deeply self-developed, more than just compatibility.
"A while ago, Google withdrew from China. Many people were worried about whether Android phones would still work without Google services."
He looked at the audience members below the stage, who were slightly puzzled.
Our answer is: It works, and it works well.
He switched screens; on the left was the open-source code tree of Android, and on the right was the code tree of Taishan OS.
"I remember someone saying a while ago that TaiShan OS is just a reskinned version of Android. I don't deny it; we used open-source Android code."
A chorus of doubts erupted from the audience; Shen Fei had actually admitted it…
This confirms it.
Is there some kind of plot twist?
"But open-source Android and Android are two different concepts."
An explanation appeared on the screen:
Android: A complete operating system developed by Google, including Google Services (GMS) and corresponding manufacturer-customized versions.
Android Open Source Programming SP (AOSP): The open-source base code does not include Google services, it is very basic, and any company can use it for free.
"You can think of open-source Android as just a framework, like a bare-bones house that you buy."
The Android system is like a fully furnished apartment, with its own ecosystem and other services.
"Taishan OS is based on AOSP, but we have rewritten the underlying layer."
Shen Fei pointed to the code tree on the right.
"As the old saying goes, a tree cannot be made into a useful tool if it is not cut down. We have also made modifications to this poorly designed code tree."
More than 90% of the redundant code was cut, and the core modules were rewritten.
The installation package size has been reduced by 70%, and the boot time has been shortened from 45 seconds in the previous generation to less than 30 seconds.
Xiao Bai, sitting in the audience, opened the box and his eyes widened once again. He had thought that the previous generation of the system had been optimized to the extreme, but he did not expect that this generation would go so far.
But won't modifying Shishan like this cause system crashes?
We definitely need to do a thorough evaluation.
"The important thing is that it won't lag even after long-term use."
We promise to provide 5 years of major version updates and 2 years of basic maintenance for Transsion's S-series flagship phones. The basic maintenance will also take into account the hardware and add new features as much as possible.
It will not lag even after long-term use.
After this round of applause, some people in the audience excitedly raised their hands.
Shen Fei ignored it; this was a product launch, not a fan meeting.
"Taishan OS version 1.5 has been running on Transsion S1, Huawei Mate series and Honor Play for half a year, serving more than 4000 million users in total."
There were no major bugs, and minor bugs could be fixed within two weeks. However, in version 2.0, we aim to resolve them within one week.
Many users in the audience nodded in admiration; this was what they admired most—the updates were truly fast.
Unlike the fruit vendor next door, who treats adding a new feature like it's a matter of life and death.
I wonder when Transsion's highly praised fast charging system will become widespread on Apple phones.
Let's wait 10 years before talking about fruit...
In terms of system performance, the same principles apply to all phones, including mid-range models. Sometimes, the Honor Play even gets to experience new features before the Mate series...
This confirms it completely: the Honor Play is the true flagship phone.
Shen Fei looked at the audience: "This generation, we've taken it a step further."
Several keywords appeared on the big screen: "Self-developed underlying layer, privacy protection, ecosystem compatibility, and no lag even after long periods of time".
"Based on the self-developed underlying layer of TaiShan OS, application permissions can be fully controlled."
