Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 711 A Master's Move
“It seems there’s no other choice now.” Another vice president sighed. “We can’t count on Microsoft and Kaspersky, so let’s try anything. I heard that Cheng Yi, the president of Momo OS, has a close personal relationship with Guo Yongli, the president of Handong Commercial Bank. Guo Yongli and I are university alumni. I can ask President Guo to mediate.”

Chen Guohua considered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can try contacting them and ask if they can help us recover the data."

Headquarters of Handong Commercial Bank, President's Office.

Guo Yongli put down yet another call for help from a company CEO and rubbed his temples.

His desk was piled high with urgent requests for help and explanations from various companies.

As a prominent figure in China's financial sector, he has business dealings with these corporate giants. Since Momo Internet Cafes spread across the country, their Handong Commercial Bank's business has also spread throughout the country.

When it comes to local commercial banks that operate nationwide, besides Yanjing Commercial Bank and Zhonghai Commercial Bank, Handong Commercial Bank is the most prominent.

He hung up the phone with another alumnus and let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked up at the painting of a "slut" hanging in the office.

This calligraphy was written by Li Chengxuan, chairman of Handong Construction Group, and was specially given to him by Cheng Yi.

It is said that Cheng Yi gave away dozens of copies of Li Chengxuan's "loose woman" calligraphy.

Looking at that calligraphy, Guo Yongli was filled with emotion.

At that time, Cheng Yi was just a newly established internet cafe owner, while Guo Yongli was just a branch manager who was about to be dissolved.

All of this stemmed from the 500 million yuan loan he approved for Momo Internet Cafe. At that time, he suspected that Cheng Yi had a relationship with Cheng Mingjun, a provincial leader, so he couldn't wait to lend money to Cheng Yi and gave him the green light.

Although it was later learned that Cheng Yi and Cheng Mingjun had no relation, Momo Group had by then become a star company in the domestic internet industry, and had provided him with huge deposits and business support at the crucial moment when he was competing for the position of bank president, helping him to firmly secure the position.

This friendship has stood the test of time and is far superior to ordinary bank-enterprise relationships.

"This matter should also benefit Cheng Yi." After careful consideration, Guo Yongli decided to give it a try.

He first called Cheng Yi to confirm that Cheng Yi was at the company, then looked up at his secretary and said, "Prepare the car, we're going to Handong University."

Half an hour later, Guo Yongli's car drove into Handong University.

As soon as his Audi pulled up, Guo Yongli saw Cheng Yi personally standing at the entrance of the office building to greet him.

Guo Yongli quickly opened the door, hurried a few steps to greet him, and said as he jogged, "Brother, why are you out in this cold weather?"

"Brother Guo, it would be impolite of me not to come out and greet you." Cheng Yi greeted him with a smile and laughed heartily.

"Hey, you seem to be having a lot of fun. It's causing quite a stir outside, but you're sitting here doing nothing," Guo Yongli said, half-jokingly and half-remarkably.

Cheng Yi said half-jokingly, "I can't just sit back and relax. If I make any sudden moves, wouldn't things get even more chaotic?"

Guo Yongli looked around to make sure no one was watching, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother, this panda virus has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Of course it has nothing to do with me. How could I do such a terrible thing? I am one of the top ten outstanding youths in Handong Province, and I was even selected for the National Civilization Office's 'Good People of China' list last year." Cheng Yi said very seriously.

Seeing Cheng Yi speak with such certainty, Guo Yongli finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lian Sheng said, "It's alright, it's alright. Hey, you don't know, things are in complete chaos now. I heard that the higher-ups are going to severely punish the virus creator and spreader. I've never seen such a strong crackdown before."

“It’s definitely worth investigating; the internet is not above the law.” The two said as they walked into the office.

Sitting down at the tea table, Cheng Yi asked, "Brother Guo, what kind of tea would you like to drink?"

"Any tea will do, I don't taste anything anymore. The reason I came here is because..." Without much small talk, Guo Yongli got straight to the point, explaining the dire situation faced by several Fortune 500 companies and their desire for Momo OS to help them.

“Brother, here’s the situation. These companies are worried that you won’t help them because they rejected the Momo system, so they came to me. These companies are all major clients of our bank. If they go bankrupt, the impact will be huge.” Guo Yongli said sincerely, “Brother, I’m putting my face on the line today. I hope you can help them.”

Cheng Yi listened quietly, skillfully brewing tea, his face revealing little emotion.

He didn't answer immediately, but instead got up and poured Guo Yongli a cup of tea, his movements calm and unhurried.

“Brother Guo.” Cheng Yi pushed the teacup over and said in a steady voice, “You’re too kind. If it weren’t for your timely loan back then, Momo wouldn’t be where it is today. I’ll always remember that kindness.”

"No, no, you can't say that anymore, it makes me blush." ​​Guo Yongli quickly waved his hand.

Cheng Yi paused, his gaze sharpening, and said, "As for helping, to be honest, even if you hadn't come today, I was already planning to proactively connect with these core enterprises. They are the pillar enterprises of the country, and we can't just stand by and watch them die. Now they should understand the risks of over-reliance on foreign system underlying technologies, right?"

“That’s right. It’s better to let them suffer a great loss than to persuade them a hundred times.” Guo Yongli nodded.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Actually, we haven't been idle during this time. For some of the hardest-hit areas, such as banking, machinery manufacturing, logistics and other industries that rely heavily on information technology, we have developed special versions of the system. Our government and enterprise version has been polished for so many years and is no less powerful than Microsoft's system. I think it should be able to solve their current problems."

"If that's the case, then I thank you on their behalf." Guo Yongli's face showed excitement.

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "Go back and tell them that I wasn't originally planning to help with this, but out of respect for you, Brother Guo, I'll help you to the end. Let them owe you a huge favor first. Their savings and such will surely increase by one or two times."

“Okay, hahaha.” Guo Yongli immediately burst into laughter.

Cheng Yi said, "I will assemble the strongest engineering team with the highest priority to provide on-site services for them. However, there is only one condition: they need to abandon the Microsoft system and purchase our Momo system enterprise version."

"That's definitely not a problem. As long as there's an alternative product, they will absolutely not use Microsoft again," Guo Yongli said. "Now many banks are having the same problem. Only a few of us who use the Momo platform are fine, hahaha, they deserve it. We tried so hard to persuade those banks not to use the Momo system back then, and now they're probably regretting it to the core."

Guo Yongli imagined the bank executives wanting his help but too embarrassed to ask, and he felt incredibly pleased.

After finishing their conversation, Guo Yongli left in a hurry without even having a sip of tea. Before he even left Handong University, Cheng Yi's promise had already reached the ears of the anxious corporate giants.

After receiving a call from his senior classmate Guo Yongli, the vice president of Huihuang Group breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He immediately ordered, "Quickly, spread the word that the expert team from Momo OS will be here tomorrow. All departments must provide the highest level of hospitality and technical cooperation to try to resolve our current predicament!"

The following morning, an engineering team personally led by Huang Ganping moved into the headquarters of Huihuang Group. This was Momo OS's first battle after its launch, and they had to make it a success.

This time, not only Huang Ganping went, but also a well-known reporter from the Global Vision China Operations Center followed closely behind for an interview.

The data recovery work is proceeding in a tense but orderly manner.

Specialized equipment directly reads the hard drive, bypassing a malfunctioning Windows system, to accurately locate and repair damaged data.

Over the course of the day, as the previously garbled production scheduling data on the big screen gradually became clear and complete, Chen Guohua and all the senior executives finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Simultaneously, system migration and deployment also took place.

New servers and terminals running the Momo enterprise system were quickly set up, and migration tools efficiently imported the restored business data into the new environment.

When the core ERP system of Huihuang Group successfully ran on the Momo system and its speed was comparable to that of the Microsoft system, the entire technology center erupted in a long-suppressed cheer.

"It's working! Everything's working! The production line data is back, and the logistics information is normal!" The technical director excitedly ran to Chen Guohua to report, his voice trembling.

Looking at the clean interface of the Momo system on the screen, where that hateful panda was no longer present, Chen Guohua was so excited that he shouted, "Quick, book a hotel! I want to host a banquet for all the experts!"

The news that Huihuang Group's data had been successfully recovered and that its core business systems had been fully migrated to the government and enterprise version of Momo's system and were running stably was broadcast on the same night that Huang Ganping's team left, through Huanyu Vision, a national television platform.

During prime time, the "Global Finance" program devoted a full fifteen minutes to in-depth reporting on this miraculous rescue operation.

The scene depicts the paralyzed server room of Huihuang Group, the desperate expressions of the employees, and the glaring panda icon on the screen, all accompanied by tense and heavy background music, which immediately and vividly portrays the desperate situation of being at the end of one's rope.

The scene then shifts to Momo OS engineers using specialized equipment to begin fixing the code.

When the core ERP system of Huihuang Group was successfully launched on the clean interface of the Momo system and the production data was restored, Chen Guohua, the chairman of the group, was so excited that he danced with joy.

The image of the chairman of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate dancing wildly is itself a powerful advertising tool.

This series of highly impactful images was instantly transmitted to thousands of households via satellite signal, and even reached the eyes of countless government and business decision-makers who were deeply mired in the panda crisis.

"Did you see that? The Brilliant Group has really been saved!"

"It's the Momo system; they really can do it."

"Quickly, contact Momo OS immediately."

"Still waiting for Microsoft? You'll be waiting forever! Just switch systems already!"

Overnight, the winds shifted completely.

Government and enterprise units that were previously skeptical of domestically developed systems no longer hesitated at all.

The instinct for survival and development overwhelmed all unnecessary concerns.

The next day, just as the sun rose, the headquarters of Momo OS, located at Handong University, was hit by an unprecedented and frenzied attack.

The company’s ten assistance hotlines have been permanently busy since 8 a.m.

The operator's voice went from clear and sweet at the beginning to hoarse and tired at noon, and then to almost crying in the afternoon.

They'd never encountered such a heavy workload before. They were practically screaming their tonsils out.

The official website of Momo OS also saw its traffic reach an all-time high in a short period of time, with the submit button for the online application channel being clicked tens of thousands of times per minute.

The server was overwhelmed, pages loaded slowly, and it had become the norm for the system to keep spinning for ten minutes after submitting an application; there were even several brief crashes.

These applicants are all employees of major companies, and they are the group most affected by the Panda Burning Incense virus, a group that numbers in the millions.

The streets near the entrance of Handong University were also filled with luxury cars from early morning.

These cars, which normally represent status and prestige, are now humbly squeezed onto the side of the road.

The people who got out of the car were all well-dressed, distinguished corporate executives and government officials, all of them led by a "leader".

Holding thick stacks of application materials, they walked to the front of the Momo OS company building at Handong University, crowding the company's reception area and front desk.

"Comrade, I am the vice president of Longteng Group. This is a letter written by our chairman..."

“We are from the Feihe Municipal Government Affairs Association. This is our official letter. Our situation is extremely urgent.”

"Could you make an exception and let us meet with General Manager Cheng or Chief Engineer Huang first? I'm the Vice President of China Overseas Commercial Bank, my name is..."

"I'm willing to pay for express delivery, any price will do!!!"

The young receptionist had never seen anything like it before. Surrounded by a group of big shots she usually only saw on TV and in financial magazines, she was so nervous that she could barely speak.

Soon, security personnel from Handong University were dispatched to maintain order, but they also felt immense pressure in the face of this group of polite attackers.

These people are all important figures, and none of them can be touched or moved. The security guards can only stand guard carefully to the side, for fear that one of them might accidentally fall and be trampled and seriously injured.

This scene didn't look like they were receiving clients at all; it looked more like they were handing out doomsday tickets...
