The former senior technical director of Didi was arrested and sentenced to 5 years

The above public name "Shiburo" is a spare number for me, in order to prevent the loss of the big one day, I usually send about three articles of my thinking, reading notes, cognitive perception and other articles a week to lead everyone to explore the road of spiritual and financial freedom.

Hello everyone, I'm the principal.

Early this morning, I saw a piece of news that the former technical director of Didi had been sentenced to 5 years for accepting bribes and wanted to nag with everyone.

Don't know what's going on lately? Always push me news about programmers, people who do technology have been arrested, arrested, is this hinting at something? I am a good law-abiding citizen.

Of course, just kidding, probably because I've seen similar news, the algorithm remembers, so it keeps pushing me similar news.

Back to the point.

On December 29, the Beijing Haidian District People's Court's criminal judgment published by the Beijing Court Trial Information Network showed that Yu Xiaosheng, senior technical director of Beijing Didi Infinity Technology Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Didi Unlimited"), was convicted of "accepting bribes from non-state workers" and sentenced to five years' imprisonment, a fine of RMB 500,000, and confiscation of illegal gains of RMB 1,457,400.

According to the judgment information, Yu Xiaosheng was born in August 1975, male, college education, detained on May 24, 2020, arrested on June 30 of the same year, and sentenced to October 8, 2021.

Note: The prospectus information shows that Didi Unlimited Agreement controls Xiao Orange Technology, the operating entity of "Didi Chuxing".

Let me briefly describe the events that went through Ha.

In July 2015, Yu joined Didi Infinity as a senior technical director, responsible for the construction and operation of network servers, and participated in the bidding of server procurement, the normal bidding process is: the department first gives a technical score to the server provided by each company, announced at the bid opening site, and then converts it into another score according to the quotation given by each bidding company, adding two points, and the highest one wins the bid.

Then, Beiming Software and Inspur were not reasonable bidders. In order to let these two companies win the bid, Yu used the convenience of his position to tell the internal technical scores and rankings of the two companies in advance, let them adjust the price according to the actual situation, and sometimes arranged for subordinates to directly modify the technical scores of some companies.

In return, these companies will provide a "benefit fee", of which the mobile phone has a record of 26 deposits, a total of about 7.97 million yuan, as well as cash to meet. According to the testimony of Wei Mou, the manager of Didi Infinity Company, Yu admitted to receiving 772,600 yuan of benefits from Beiming Company, as well as a Mercedes-Benz car worth 684,800 yuan; and received 7.2 million yuan of benefit fees from Inspur Company, totaling 7,972,600 yuan.

Yu was also quite bullish, and through the bribe money, he bought a school district house worth 7.5 million yuan in Beijing's Xicheng District.

According to Yu's subordinates, the standard for its technical score is based on the relevant technical standards of the company, and after the scoring is completed, yu will score and rank with it, and sometimes let it modify the technical score of a certain company. About May 2018, it conducted server testing and scoring, and reported the scoring and ranking to Yu, who asked him to raise the technical score of Inspur, and later Inspur won the bid. He has adjusted the technical points 3 times, all of which are tuned by Yu Xiaosheng, and he has adjusted the technical points for Inspur, Lenovo and Huawei.

This news is also very interesting, first of all, the wave has raised the technical score, and the wave won the bid. Later, it is said that Lenovo and Huawei have adjusted the technical score, but they never mention whether the two companies have raised or lowered, and the winning bid has not been awarded, which is interesting.

The relationship between Lenovo and Didi is not ordinary, I don't know if Yu dares to lower the technical score for Lenovo? I guess the high probability is to turn up the technical score.

In addition, I read a lot of legal illiteracy in the comment area of the news, and many people do not know what is the crime of bribery of non-state workers? There may indeed be many people who think that taking bribes in the workplace, not committing crimes, being caught, big deal, will only be dismissed, right? I have also given you science popularization in the public account before, and the crime of accepting bribes by non-state workers refers to the behavior of the staff of a company, enterprise or other unit taking advantage of their position to demand other people's property or illegally accept other people's property and property for others to seek benefits for others, and the amount is relatively large.

This is also a crime.

The day before yesterday, didn't I share a case about a programmer being fired, because he was dissatisfied with the company's compensation amount, and took advantage of the convenience of the company's WeChat merchant account and key he mastered while working in the company to transfer money to his own account? I thought I wrote a timed program, every day to my Own WeChat account regular transfer, the company found that it could not be found, 1 year to give themselves 553 transfers, a total of 210,000.

In fact, many crimes in the workplace are held by chance, always thinking that they cannot be discovered.

I was recently reading Christensen's book, Innovation in Disruptors, and I happened to read Christensen's thoughts on how to avoid jail time.

Christensen talks about it because two of his 32 people in oxford scholarship classes have been in jail, and the former CEO of the Enron scandal was a Harvard classmate.

He said that these were all good people, but some factors in their lives led them in the wrong direction. This is very similar to the companies in the market that choose the wrong direction of attack and lose badly. For example, Kodak was eliminated in the era of digital photography; for example, Enron carried out financial scandals in the name of energy innovation. There are too many similarities between life strategy and company strategy.

When Christensen talks about his personal beliefs, he believes that this is the source and support for him to set goals in life. However, he also said that faith is not the only thing that can guide people, and anyone can take the initiative to choose patriotism, love for their families, love for others, and choose integrity, integrity and diligence.

He said: If you insist on being an upright person, you can avoid prison.

Usually, when you're faced with a choice between good and evil, it's easy to say I know I shouldn't do it, but this time it's a special situation, so it's okay to make an exception.

It is with such a fluke mentality that many people have done the wrong thing again and again. Christensen said they calculated the marginal cost of doing something wrong for half a day, but forgot how high the full cost of doing something wrong was. In the words you are more familiar with, it is to come out of the mix, sooner or later to pay back.

So, how can you stick to your principles and bottom line? Christensen recounts his experience playing basketball while studying at Oxford: One year they tried their best to win the entire season, but the final day happened to be Sunday. Is this going to be a problem?

For him, there was a big problem. Because at the age of 16, he made a promise to faith that he would never play on Sundays. He has always kept this promise. But his teammates and coaches advised him, you are the starting center of the team, you have to play, you can't make an exception?

He stepped aside to pray, and the revelation was very clear: he could not fail to keep his promises. In the end, he didn't play that final. He said: Theoretically, he can cross the red line once, not the next one. But special circumstances abound in life, do you make an exception?

He added that it is much easier to keep promises 100 percent than it is to keep promises 98 percent. You have to have your own persistence and set a safety bottom line, and once set, you must never break it. Otherwise, always succumbing to "just this time," you're likely to regret your eventual destination, just like your classmates in prison.

Therefore, setting the bottom line and never breaking it is very critical, many things, as long as the exception is made once, it is impossible not to take the next example.

When someone is begging someone to do something against the principle, we often hear others say: Not for example, only this time. In fact, it is already impossible, when you do it once, you will have a fluke in your heart, saying: Anyway, you have already done it once, and it does not hurt to do it again. When the bottom line is broken once, there is no downline.

Finally, I would like to ask you a question, which is also a question for the reader's message:

Didn't the programmer, because he was dissatisfied with the company's compensation amount, take advantage of the convenience of the company's WeChat merchant account and key that he mastered while working in the company to transfer money to his own account? If he doesn't transfer money to himself, but randomly transfers money to users, do you count as a bug or a crime? Welcome to leave a message at the bottom of the article and communicate together.
