Ma's internal letter, released today, reads as follows

All members of the company:

Hello, everyone Yesterday, I made the decision to stay home from work until the outbreak subsides. I hope this decision will help keep you from getting infected during the outbreak. Health is the most basic life guarantee for everyone, can not ignore everyone's personal safety because of the low probability of disease, in the face of an unknown epidemic, we still have to be cautious in the face.

We work in Beijing and Singapore, so the current telecommuting doesn't have much of an impact on us, and it even relieves some of the burden of commuting. I hope you can try to adapt to the working mode of working from home, improve work efficiency, be strict with yourself, and promote the progress of the project.

Recently, I've been reviewing completed code as a whole. Although the entire team is working as planned, as someone with a very strict work ethic, I have to say that the mainline code still has some work to do. Fortunately, these are some of the normative issues, work overtime to finish, will not affect the overall progress.

We are a long-term project. If you feel that you are not competent enough to find problems in your work, or that the existing system is not able to better promote the progress of your work, please let me know, and let us work together to solve them. You can adjust your architecture, or you can learn together. Let the problem be there, and it will always be found out. It's not a big problem for me to find out, but once it becomes a product, many of the problems may cause considerable trouble for maintenance in the future.

I know that many of you have been overworked for a long time. Many of you have been working on this project for two or three years. But in fact, a lot of people's work is in the previous work buried in the mine. If people had been more rigorous in their code reviews, a lot of rework wouldn't have happened, we could have moved ahead of schedule, and the whole company could have freed up some energy.

At the code review level, our review activities are conducted openly, and I hope that any competent person in the company can participate in the review. The system and structure of the company are established to promote the work. My personal experience tells me that everything is done by ability. At the same time, my personal experience also tells me that the existence of people who are not competent for work is unfair to the conscientious colleagues.

So, as I suggested earlier, divide many of the tasks of the company into project leaders, not just in the r&d department. I hope that in this process, the company has the ability of colleagues, can stand up, excellent completion of various tasks, to the company put forward a variety of feasible Suggestions.

Since its establishment, the company has been in good financial conditionDuring the boom and bust, our company didn't see a lot of expansion or a lot of layoffs, just a few random reports with no response. Over the years in the industry, I have experienced many cycles, and I know that product and team are the core of a company. Last year, those so-called blockchain media without facts do not know blockchain and have no competitiveness. They can only rely on endless news to generate traffic. It is better to feed dogs at home to respond to them. Wait until the hot money that they raise is spent, can give investor a few sorry, afraid true run away is them.

In fact, there are not many teams with independent research and development capabilities in China, most of which are modified in foreign open source projects. Therefore, our completely autonomous underlying system will have a natural advantage in the domestic blockchain system competition. We are also cooperating with colleges and universities, and we have already started to connect projects. Hold on for so long, now look, have a lot of project copied ethereum, have no what think, then go up a main network that makes no sense, do so called ecology, ecology also can't do. Then let's take a look at their code base, which has not been updated recently. Is it that their product has been improved to the point where there is nothing to update? As far as I know, some so-called domestic chain only left a developer. Without a good product, why should others migrate from EOS, ETH, for the so-called ecological promotion cost? But why did Linux take off? It was the leading next-generation operating system and was being supported by many large vendors. Therefore, I have always emphasized that our products are our core competitiveness. Only when we make truly leading generation blockchain products and really lower the threshold of development and use, can big players come in and fight for a new territory and develop a new market.

Now the overall performance of the team, for me, is only passable. I froze all of your annual bonuses last year because I wasn't satisfied. I needed 90 points. As long as you do a good job and are willing to tie your company's growth to your personal growth, the company will return the same. I'm sure you can see a lot of problems, but I also want you to think about solutions. If you are not satisfied with your current solution, either come up with a new solution or stick with the existing one. If you have feasible Suggestions, please send them directly to my company email address.

Hope that the company in consideration of everyone at the same time, we can also consider for the company, together with the development. Welcome capable colleagues to stand up and seize the opportunity of rapid development of the industry and the company.

Ma Haobo
