The last thing Duan Gan Ai Xi saw was the sparks shooting out of the server array in the data center.
On June 18, 2024, the third day of the mid-year sales of "Yunqi Technology", as a purchasing manager and technical internet celebrity, he had just finished a live broadcast of "Supply Chain Emergency Dispatch" - in front of the camera, he used an Excel spreadsheet to refresh the inventory data of 20 warehouses across the country in real time. His fingers flew on the keyboard, compressing the replenishment cycle of "hot-selling categories" from 48 hours to 24 hours. The barrage was full of "Mr. Ai Xi yyds" and "This data thinking is amazing."
When the live broadcast ended, he didn't leave. He stayed in the data center and stared at the background. The mid-year sale is the "life and death line" of the purchasing department. Last year, the complaint rate soared by 15% due to a shortage of goods in a certain regional warehouse, and he was scolded by the CEO for a whole week. This year, he made a "demand forecast model" three months in advance, using sales data from the past three years plus real-time weather and holiday information. The accuracy was as high as 92%, but he was still worried - his professional habits made him always feel that "there are risks of not being discovered hidden in the data."
At two o'clock in the morning, the server suddenly sounded a piercing alarm.
