Mr. Zuckerberg understood Shen Bing's ambitions in the operating system industry better than anyone else.
Phantom Immortal Technology's plans were almost fully in place, yet Shen Bing was actually asking him to turn AiLi into an operating system too. It was truly baffling.
He was creating a rival for himself.
