Chapter 170: Jungle Law, I Play the Rogue (Part 1)

For Cai Shuwen, salary was important, yet at this moment, it seemed less so.

An hour ago, after signing the formal employment agreement, Zhao Qingfeng and he had a deep conversation about future product planning.

Zhao Qingfeng’s requirement was to create a multi-functional social platform software that supports cross-communication operators, cross-operating system platforms, and can quickly send free voice messages, videos, pictures, and text through the network. It would also allow content sharing through shared streaming media and include various social features, such as Shake, Friends Circle, public platforms, and more.

Cai Shuwen was excited, as this was exactly the kind of product he had dreamt of creating.

So, compared to realizing his dream, salary wasn’t that big of a deal.

As they were talking quietly, Zhao Qingfeng came over and, after understanding the situation, said with a smile, “Regarding salary, I’ve decided to give you a 5% share of the company, with a guaranteed minimum of 8000 per month in the early stage.”

Although it was a bit less compared to the south.

Cai Shuwen quickly agreed.

He also had good news.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly grabbed Zhao Qingfeng’s hand, smiling, “Officer Zhao, I actually had an idea for a great product a while ago. I was planning to use it to get a lucrative reward in the south as my calling card, but I didn’t tell you about it. Since I’m joining you now, I might as well tell you. I’ve completed half of the code, and the remaining half and the debugging of bugs are still unsolved. Would you like to know more?”

What a deal?

Buy one, get one free!

After Zhao Qingfeng nodded, Cai Shuwen continued, “The hottest industry in the country right now is internet cafes. But have you noticed? All internet cafes use pen and paper to record login times, which is inaccurate and time-consuming. There’s an urgent need for a management system to take control of the entire situation.”

Zhao Qingfeng had already noticed this problem.

And the internet cafe management system was also a project he wanted to advocate for in the future.

Without long-term planning, there will be immediate worries.

Just like the 3Q war in his previous life, if the social software similar to FACEBOOK he developed later clashed commercially with Tencent, then mutual sanctions would naturally be indispensable.

The internet cafe management system was a good choice.

Besides helping internet cafes solve the login and logout issues, it could also implant specific software login restriction modules.

Whoever dares to make noise, just restrict them through the backend.

Want to log in?

No door!

But all these plans hadn’t been put into action yet, and to his surprise, Cai Shuwen brought it up first.

Zhao Qingfeng nodded in approval.

After inspecting the initial half-finished program written by Cai Shuwen, he spent an entire day precisely completing the remaining code and fixing several potential issues.

“The previous maximum management user setting was insufficient. Although most internet cafes only have a few dozen machines now, they will expand rapidly in the next twenty years, so it needs to be set to at least 300 machines.”

“Also, your initial version lacks a backdoor. Without implanting controls, how could we arbitrarily modify the IE homepage? This also helps us promote the navigation website while restricting Legend of Mir hacks from the other side.”

“And about the permissions issue, we’ll definitely want to promote various software in the future, like our own social platform. So, we must obtain sufficient permissions through the code, achieving functionalities like automatic installation and bundling.”

“Alright, I’ve completed it. The remaining time is for scenario simulation, finding all bugs, and then we can promote it.”

Zhao Qingfeng openly proposed installing backdoor software, a kind of operation similar to controlling computers with trojans.

Cai Shuwen felt it was improper, akin to rogue operations, hijacking users’ computers.

But Zhao Qingfeng gave him a reasonable explanation, “If you don’t play the rogue, others will. Moreover, the internet laws are not yet in place. In the early stages of development, we cannot afford to be gentlemen. My goal is to first aggressively capture the market as a rogue and then serve the public as a gentleman. Otherwise, if others capture the market, they will continue to act unscrupulously, which is only harmful and not beneficial to users.”

Such is the world.

Playing the saint only leads to loss.

The victor is king.
