Chapter 72: The System is Officially Launched

"Mr. Shen, I really can't handle this! I've been a real estate agent for over ten years, relying solely on my words and my own two legs! Now you want me to stare at a computer and fill out so many forms? Isn't this going to kill me?" The old agent's eyes reddened.

Shen Mo didn't get angry. She moved a chair and sat down next to the old agent: "Brother Wang, I think this thing is troublesome, just like you."

She spoke up, taking the other person by surprise: "But we have to admit that times have changed. In the past, we relied on personal connections and information asymmetry; in the future, we'll rely on this." She pointed to the computer, "It has a better memory than you, calculates faster than you, and can help you avoid making mistakes."

Look, these customer follow-up records. If you write them down in a notebook, they're easy to lose. But if you write them here, they'll be there forever, and anyone who takes over can easily understand them.

As she spoke, she slowed down her movements to demonstrate the simplest input and query methods.

"It's not difficult, it's just awkward at first. Here's what I'll do: I'll have Xiao Li from the support team spend the next few days with you. Just think of him as an apprentice who knows computers. You give the instructions, and he'll do the actual work."

"Once you get used to it, you can do it yourself. Okay?"

The old agent looked at Shen Moping with a calm, even earnest, gaze, then glanced at the shy tech support guy beside him. His anger and panic subsided considerably, and he nodded silently.

This forceful approach, combined with support from Huairou District, gradually stabilized the situation in South China. The number of red alert areas decreased one by one.

However, on the eve of the launch, Shen Mo herself collapsed. The high-intensity work and mental stress of several consecutive days caused her to suffer from acute gastroenteritis, vomiting and diarrhea, and she was rushed to the hospital emergency room by her secretary and driver overnight.

When the news reached the command center, Lu Chaoyang frowned. Ji Fanyin immediately called to inquire about the situation and arranged for the headquarters administration department to send someone to the hospital to assist.

Lei Guoliang learned of the news at 2 a.m. He was silent for a moment, then said to Lu Chaoyang, "Tell her to get some rest. The sky isn't falling."

He didn't call or go to the hospital himself. He knew that any special concern at this moment could be over-interpreted, or it might create unnecessary dependence or illusions in Shen Mo. He needed her to get through this on her own.

Lying in the hospital bed receiving an IV drip, Shen Mo, pale-faced, heard Ji Fanyin's message: "Rest well, the sky won't fall." Looking at the still brightly lit city outside the window, a weak smile appeared on his lips.

Yes, the sky isn't falling. The system needs to go live, business needs to continue, and the competition won't stop. She doesn't have time to be vulnerable.

She asked the nurse to remove the IV and, ignoring the doctor's advice, returned to her office at four in the morning. Her complexion was still poor, but her eyes had regained their sharpness.

"20 hours left. Notify all support teams, do a final check, I want everything to be perfect."

Han Mei had a great May, but the system launch in the last three days of June dealt her a heavy blow.

Several new cities in the Northwest had poor network infrastructure and inadequate system training, resulting in a series of failures during the final stress test.

The first batch of contracts for the cooperation project between Muqi and Zhejiang real estate speculators was stuck at this point in time because the system could not generate standard contract texts. This almost led the partners to question their professional capabilities and threaten to suspend payments.

"Damn it! This lousy system!" Han Mei roared at the technical support team on the phone, "I have hundreds of millions of dollars worth of business waiting to be processed! And you're telling me the system crashed?! I don't care what method you use, you have to manually fill in the contracts for me!"

While she was berating them, she also demonstrated remarkable efficiency. She instructed her team in Beijing to immediately hand-produce the contract, scan it, and email it to Muqi for local printing. She then had the partner sign the key pages to secure their agreement.

At the same time, she made a direct phone call to Lu Chaoyang, not to complain, but to ask for resources.

"President Lu! There are genuine difficulties in the Northwest, it's not that we're not cooperating! The network is really bad, and the training time is really short! I need the best technical experts from headquarters to provide remote support, and it would be best if someone could fly over!"

Also, could you please make an exception and give us a temporary channel for the contract template for that collaborative project? If this deal falls through, the losses will be enormous!

Lu Chaoyang was in the command center, looking at the red-filled monitoring screen on Han Mei's end, and knew that the situation was special.

After a quick assessment, he agreed to some of Han Mei's requests: to select two top experts to form a remote support team, focusing on the Northwest.

Regarding the contract issue, provided that the key risk control clauses remain unchanged, they are allowed to use a simplified process first, but all information must be supplemented in the new system afterwards.

"President Han, this is a special case, and it won't happen again. You must resolve the Northwest issue within a specified timeframe after the system goes live," Lu Chaoyang said sternly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu! It's online now. I'll personally oversee things in the Northwest. I won't come back until I've got it under control!" Han Mei patted her chest and assured him.

With this reckless spirit and the courage to ask headquarters for resources at critical moments, Han Mei managed to stabilize the Northwest base and save that important cooperative project at the last minute.

Although the process was thrilling, it also allowed headquarters to see her ability to adapt to extreme situations and her dedication to the business.

July 30, 24:00.

As the second hand ticked past the last tick, the background color of the national map on the huge screen in the command center slowly changed from the yellow of the testing environment to the dark blue of the official launch.

There were no cheers, no applause. Everyone stared intently at the scrolling key metrics on the screen: system access success rate 99.2%, core transaction process completion rate 97.8%, data synchronization latency less than 5 seconds…

Although a few yellow and occasional red alerts are still flashing, the overall situation is under control.

"The Cornerstone System is officially online." Lu Chaoyang's voice, transmitted via dedicated line, reached every Anjia Tianxia store across the country that had connected to the system.

At this moment, in front of countless computers, some people breathed a sigh of relief, some were at a loss, some cursed and swore, and some were eager to try.

But in any case, one era has ended, and another era begins from this moment.

Lei Guoliang stood by his office window, looking at the city still bustling with traffic despite the rainy night. His phone screen lit up with messages from Su Wanqing, Shen Mo, and Han Mei, sent almost simultaneously:

"System handover in East China was smooth." — Su Wanqing

"The South China region is now online and operating normally at an initial stage." — Shen Mo

"Grandpa, things are all sorted out up north too! There were a few hiccups, though!" — Han Mei

He read through each item without replying. He walked to the huge national map, where the green dots representing stores were, in a sense, now truly connected as a whole through that invisible foundational system.

This system is both a shackle and wings; a microscope and a telescope. It will magnify the brilliance of the outstanding and expose the embarrassment of the incompetent; it will infiltrate the will of headquarters to the grassroots and transmit the battle situation on the front lines back to the central command in real time.

From today onwards, the competition within Anjia Tianxia will enter a new dimension that is more transparent, more standardized, and also more brutal.

He picked up his pen and gently drew a circle around the location of Deep Town on the map. This was the starting point, but for now, it was just a node in a vast network.

His gaze had already turned to a more distant place, to the capital market that was turbulent due to the shareholding reform, and to the national real estate market that was about to usher in its most frenzied era.
