"There's no true or false, because this thing is both true and false!" the man said.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Brother Ma asked curiously.
"Because if what you want is Facebook's backend program code, then this is fake, because the code for these two backends only has 60% similarity, and the remaining 40% is different!"
"But if what you want is the backend program code for a website similar to Facebook, and it can run normally, then this is true. This backend program code has undergone the same three tests as Facebook's backend program code, and a lot of bugs have been fixed, so it is undoubtedly the real deal!" the man said.
"Oh, if that's the case, then this backend program was also developed by Jiangnan Group. Then why would Jiangnan Group develop two Facebook backend codes at the same time?" Brother Ma asked curiously.
"Because these were developed by two different teams!" The man said with a cold laugh, "Facebook was a project initiated in April this year. The basic architecture was built first. I was responsible for the development of this entire process. Both backend programs used the same architecture, so this is where the 60% similarity between the two program codes comes from."
"After that, I continued to lead the team to develop Facebook and finally produced a complete version in September this year. However, after using it, Huang He actually rejected this version, saying it was not suitable for users' online habits and that I was still stuck in the oo model and couldn't extricate myself."
"So you redeveloped the current Facebook?" Brother Ma asked curiously.
"No, he asked me to return to the oo project development team, no longer be responsible for the development of this project, but to hand it over to a newcomer to be responsible for the entire Facebook project!" This person showed an expression of extreme hatred on his face. "Hilariously, this newcomer is actually my student, whom I personally mentored. As a result, he climbed onto my neck and stole my project!" xxs1
"Otherwise, if I hadn't left oo, the person actually responsible for the entire Facebook operation project would be me, not my good student!" This person slammed the table fiercely and said angrily, "It would be fine if what he made was really better than mine. But this idiot actually separated oo and Facebook into two different projects, instead of merging Facebook and oo into a more powerful whole. This is an extremely stupid decision, but such a stupid decision is supported by Huang He every day."
This person's face was filled with resentment, and this resentment seemed to be directed more towards Huang He.
"Can I take a look at this program code?" Brother Ma asked.
"Yes, but it has to be quick. I can't leave the company for too long, or I'll be discovered!" the other party said.
"Understood!" Brother Ma opened his laptop and plugged in a portable hard drive that the other party had given him.
After a somewhat time-consuming and laborious reading and opening, Brother Ma finally saw the true appearance of this backend program. Relying on his programmer's intuition, Brother Ma could judge that this was indeed a complete program code that could run normally without any problems.
In fact, this program contained not only the backend program but also the frontend program. Brother Ma conducted a simple trial run and found that the biggest difference between this program and Facebook was that it was completely bound to oo.
There were no complex campus circles or city circles like those on Facebook, which were independent of oo's user structure. Instead, it was directly bound to the oo account, and only through the oo account could one see the other's space.
It was a bit difficult to explain directly, but the name of this program was completely different from Facebook. This program was called oo Space.
Well, I believe everyone understands what this is by seeing the name.
"This oo Space doesn't seem to have as rich a user architecture as Facebook!" Brother Ma said involuntarily, and then Chen Shoufu's expression changed, "Too many circles will conflict with oo itself and greatly reduce the loyalty of oo users. The fact that oo's activity has decreased by 20% since Facebook was launched is clear evidence. Facebook has taken away many oo users, and oo has become merely a launching tool for Facebook."
"Some users, after downloading the Facebook client, have directly abandoned oo and no longer launch it. This Facebook will ruin oo. It is a monster that sucks blood from oo, not a partner that coexists with oo for mutual benefit!"
"Conversely, my oo Space has the same functions as Facebook Space, but it is closer to oo itself. Only such oo Space will not drain oo's blood, but will continuously help oo grow."
At this moment, a beam of light shone in from the window, illuminating the man's face and revealing his true identity.
This guy was actually one of the founders of oo, the teacher Chen Shoufu who created the entire oo. This thick-browed, big-eyed guy actually betrayed them.
"I understand!" Brother Ma showed a thoughtful expression. He understood why Chen Shoufu was willing to betray Jiangnan, because the Facebook launched by Huang He would attract a large number of users from oo, which was developed by Chen Shoufu.
At the same time, Brother Ma also understood why Huang He would disregard Chen Shoufu's feelings, snatch Facebook away from him, and then hand it over to Chen Shoufu's disciple to be responsible. It was equivalent to slapping Chen Shoufu hard in front of everyone.
This was because Chen Shoufu wanted something that could help oo attract more traffic, like oo groups and oo file transfer assistants, a separate functional appendage belonging to oo.
But Huang He wanted to operate Facebook as an independent product, and in the future, it might even have the ability to completely suppress oo in terms of users and traffic. This was the fundamental difference in their business philosophy.
Therefore, Chen Shoufu, out of love turned to hate, finally chose to backstab Huang He and Jiangnan. Everything made sense.
So the question is, does Brother Ma want Facebook, or QQ Space?
Brother Ma thought for a moment and felt that this question was indeed tricky, because these two paths were very difficult to choose.
First of all, the most brilliant move was actually Huang He's approach, to make Facebook an independent product. Although this would create traffic competition with oo, once Facebook succeeded, Jiangnan could walk on two legs. Even if oo disappeared in the future, Facebook could still retain a large amount of traffic and users.
So from a long-term perspective, Brother Ma would also choose the same method as Huang He, because this was the best method.
But the problem was, Brother Ma couldn't look at it from a long-term perspective. What he needed to do now was to improve QQ's user stickiness and win back the users that QQ had lost. Therefore, he couldn't create another website to split QQ's user traffic, which was undoubtedly cutting his own throat.
Therefore, this QQ Space was the best plan for Brother Ma, and there was extremely mature code here. With a little modification, it could be used directly, without even needing 15 days.
So for Brother Ma, he had no better choice.
"But this program belongs to Jiangnan Group, right? If you give it to me like this, Jiangnan Group can directly accuse us of infringement!" Brother Ma expressed his biggest concern, which was the legal issue.
"There's no problem, because Jiangnan doesn't have this set of code themselves now. When my oo Space was rejected, Huang He ordered me to completely delete this code. So I followed his orders and deleted all this code from the company's internal network. Therefore, apart from this copy in my hands, there is no second set of the same code."
"Besides, I am the one stealing, not you. If any problems arise, I will bear it alone, and it has nothing to do with you!" Chen Shoufu sighed, "Huang He doesn't want my child, so I can only give this child to someone else to raise!"
————————————
"Boss, Chen Shoufu has met with Brother Ma, and that set of code has been given to Brother Ma. Here are the complete recordings and video documents of their conversation!" In a hotel in Korea, Huang He received the latest news and a USB drive from his secretary Hu Jing.
Although Chen Shoufu had been very careful, he should not have chosen to meet Brother Ma in Wenzhou. Wasn't this seeking his own death?
"I didn't expect it, Teacher Chen actually took this step!" Huang He sighed, a sad expression on his face. "Tell me, have I wronged Chen Shoufu in any way?"
"..." Hu Jing remained silent. She didn't understand the situation very well; she was only responsible for relaying information.
"A person, the most important thing is to understand their position. This idiot Chen Shoufu, he receives dividends from oo. This year he can get 4 million RMB in dividends, which is more than my annual salary. Yet he gives away our company's product to others without asking for anything in return. Where in the world can you find such a stupid person!" Huang He said grumpily.
"But Teacher Chen doesn't know that we have complete evidence. As long as Brother Ma dares to use it, then he is seeking his own death!" Hu Jing muttered to herself.
Huang He clearly intended to use Chen Shoufu as a chess piece. Once Brother Ma couldn't resist the temptation and used this code for his own QQ, Jiangnan Group would immediately launch a huge public opinion offensive and legal offensive.
Although it would take at least two years to get a legal judgment, the eyes of the public were discerning. Tengda would immediately fall into a socially dead situation.
Coupled with a guaranteed winning legal position, as long as Brother Ma dared to use this code, Huang He could completely disregard Tengda, because Tengda would only have a slow death.
As the saying goes, Little Ma catches sheep, Huang He follows.
[PS: Tengda won't survive chapter 300, probably.]
