Autumn is coming.

Although the sun is still hot, Qingyi feels that the weather is much cooler. The clouds float across the clear sky, leisurely, like balls of marshmallows...

Stop it! How could I think of eating? Qingyi shook his head and concentrated on riding his bicycle. Today, after some troubles, he was a little more neatly dressed: a second-hand beige short-sleeved twill shirt bought from eBay.

Dark blue denim trousers with absolutely no holes (which seem to have been brought from China), and a pair of brown canvas shoes on sale at a brand store.

When Qingyi passed by Qingyi's barber shop, there was a young black man outside the shop carrying a kettle (with the orchid finger pointing up...) to water the flowers. It was Qingyi the barber Qingyi. He also saw Qingyi and waved his free hand.

, shouted:

"Hey, Zhang! You annoying hommebel (French: handsome guy)! Where are you going now?"

"Go to the interview!" Qingyi said as he passed by with a smile on his face.

———————————————————————————————————

When he came to school, Qingyi found that there seemed to be fewer students than usual. No wonder, after all, it was near the end of the semester. For senior students, it was already time to submit resumes and find jobs. Of course, Harvard Business School came out

Guys generally don't need to look for jobs, but jobs come to them, right? However, those who can get into business schools are elites, and it's understandable that they can get extraordinary treatment.

Following a familiar path, Qingyi came to Instructor Johnson's room. The door was closed, so he knocked.

"Come in." Instructor Johnson's voice came from the room.

After arranging his hair and clothes, Qingyi unscrewed the door handle and pushed the door in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Instructor Johnson sitting on the sofa for guests, and the other person on the sofa was a man in his prime.

man.

This man's hair has obviously been plastered into a smooth shape, a bit like a gangster in a gangster movie; his eyebrows are very high, making his blue eyes particularly deep; he purses his lips with great self-control, and his chin is very deep.

Clean; wearing a brown suit and a red-on-black-striped tie, which is not eye-catching but elegant enough; because his arm is supported on the armrest of the sofa, the watch on his left wrist is exposed, and it has no artificiality.

A very commercial quartz watch (of course Qingyi couldn't recognize it because he was not interested in watches). He held a manuscript in his hand and was looking at Qingyi with interest.

Less than a second after stepping into the door, Qingyi quickly completed his observation and said with a smile: "Good morning, gentlemen. I think I am not late, right?"

"If you express it in mathematics, Zhang, you are five minutes late! Hahaha!" Instructor Johnson seemed to be in a good mood, winking and joking at Qingyi, like an old naughty boy. He and the guest were together

Standing up: "Come here, let me introduce you: This is my latest student, Qingyi Zhang. You can just call him Zhang. You are not afraid of calling the wrong person. Anyway, there may not be a second person with the surname 'Zhang' in Harvard."

; this is my oldest student, John Smith. Of course, I was not teaching business management at that time."

"Nice to meet you." Unexpectedly, the man smiled warmly and reached out his hand.

Qingyi also held his hand: "Nice to meet you." Well, his wrist was very firm, and he let go after holding it for a while. Was he a person with a tough style?

Patting Qingyi on the shoulder, Instructor Johnson continued: "John and I talked on the phone a few days ago and asked me if there were any outstanding guys here. I said no, even if there were, they would not go to your low-paying place.

It’s a small company!”

Mr. Smith laughed: "Teacher, you are really capable of talking nonsense!"

"Haha, you should call it 'humor'! Well, Zhang, in fact John is very interested in you. He runs a somewhat special express company and currently needs a management talent. I think this may be useful to you.

It's a good opportunity. But whether it's suitable or not, you still have to meet before you two can know. Okay, now it's your time, but of course you don't mind me watching!" Instructor Johnson ran back happily

Behind the desk, he said to the two people who were dumbfounded: "Think of me as Darren Fox (darienfawww.piotian.comvisibleman", the person mentioned above is the protagonist of the show). You haven't seen it? Oh, come on! Today's young people

Man!" Instructor Johnson slapped his forehead and let out a long sigh of compassion.

"Ahem, Zhang! Let's talk about it, shall we?" Mr. Smith hurriedly brought Qingyi's attention back. After seeing Qingyi nod, Mr. Smith asked seriously: "Do you think it's okay to wear clothes like this for interviews?

?”

"A little bit." Qingyi said with shame. He had never prepared a suit, so it seemed like he was going to lose points on his first impression.

Mr. Smith said quickly: "It doesn't matter, I'm not recruiting real estate agents, and I don't have high requirements for clothing. You are a Chinese, why do you want to come to the United States to study?"

"Because..." Qingyi immediately realized that this question was not simple. He thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "Because I want to have a different life. My father runs a huge family business, and I have always

You can control a large-scale company right from birth, and you don’t even have to go to school. But I feel that this kind of path that I don’t need to explore is not what I want.”

Mr. Smith's eyes moved slightly: "Even if you study at Harvard, it can't change the path you will take, right? You will always have to return to China and take over your father's business."

"I think there has been change. In other words, I came to Harvard to learn how to change, and coming to the United States is my opportunity to change." Qingyi said. "Maybe you will think that this behavior is childish and rebellious, but

But I think it is worth trying. At least, I am no longer the frog in the well, only looking at the restricted sky."

"Zhang, I really think that your attempt is right. When I was eighteen years old, my father threw me fifty dollars and told me to get out, so I can achieve what I have today." Mr. Smith's smile was very...

Strong, yes, is powerful and can open people's hearts. "Do you like to play games?"

"Yes, sir." Qingyi's smile did not change.

"Why?"

"Because the game taught me a lot of things? Oh, no, sir, that's not what I want to say. Obviously you have read my paper -" When it comes to games, Qingyi seems to be able to relax a little. He

Glancing sideways at the table, Mr. Smith saw that the manuscript he just read was his graduation thesis. "Then there's no need to repeat it. What I want to say is, you can cooperate with others in games."

"oh?"

"In the paper, I interpret the game from the perspective of a manager, but the game is not only about the subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also about the cooperation between players. 'Cooperation' and 'management' are similar,

There are also differences. Player cooperation can be seen as short-term cooperation and long-term cooperation. Let’s look at short-term cooperation first, such as forming a team to fight monsters.”

"The formation of a team is based on one principle: 'fair distribution'. The measurement of this principle is made by the game system. Every time the team defeats a monster, different experience points will be distributed to each player according to their performance in the battle.

Each time, those who rush to the front line will get more points, and those who fish in troubled waters will get less points; when playing equipment - which is very interesting here - players will use roll points to determine the ownership of the equipment. When encountering danger, they will advance and retreat together, and there will be

The benefits will be distributed equally, which is the minimum standard for maintaining short-term cooperation."

"Then, let's talk about long-term cooperation. Taking a team as an example, if team members recognize each other's strength (of course, some people just want to pick up the beauties in the team), they will subconsciously maintain this short-term cooperative relationship and mutually cooperate with each other.

Add friends and make an appointment to fight monsters together next time. In the game, strength comes first, so the captain will be the person recognized as the strongest and most reliable. Of course, it will be fixed over time, making his position irreplaceable.

In this small team, the captain has the highest authority and can formulate rules. This involves management, so I won’t go into details."

Mr. Smith smiled and said: "No, please tell me, I'm very interested."

"Okay...the captain is equivalent to a manager, but he cannot pay salaries to the team members, nor can he arrange vacations for the team members. In essence, he is just the person with the highest say among the many parties involved, and his obligations outweigh his rights."

"A bit thankless?"

"Yes, it's just thankless." Qingyi smiled and said: "Back to the topic. Although the distribution of experience points during battle cannot be changed, under the arrangement of the captain, the equipment distribution can be more humane - this is also true.

This is what I just said is 'very interesting'. After a certain piece of equipment comes out, first see if there are any members in the team who are suitable for this equipment. If so, he will get priority; if the above-mentioned piece of equipment

If the equipment is suitable for more than two members, then these members must roll points to determine the ownership of the equipment; if no one needs the equipment, then sell it at the auction house or street stall for money, and the money obtained will be divided equally among everyone; if the equipment is distributed well

, the recipients will be charged gold coins based on the value of the equipment, and the money will be distributed to everyone in the team."

"It sounds like the captain must know the market conditions in the game very well!" Mr. Smith blinked and couldn't help laughing.

"Yeah, and if you always get C's in high school math, you won't be able to be the captain." Qingyi also laughed. "For people with masochistic tendencies, being the captain is a good choice."

"The game is a free world, so players do not need to log in to the game on time like going to work. If they have a temporary date with someone else, the player has to give up the game time. But without him, the team structure will not be complete. It is already

There will also be big loopholes in a well-coordinated formation. In the real world, if an employee asks for leave, the boss can always find someone to replace him, but the team cannot. The upper limit of each team is five people, which limits its own development.

, unable to recruit more members, and at some point the group may be destroyed due to the absence of one member. It is for this reason that the guild emerged."

"A guild is a special cooperative relationship. It is obviously a long-term cooperation, but it is a loose collection with low binding force on its members. Most of the time, it exists as a short-term cooperation. When countless teams are combined, there is a '

Substitute' - If there is a temporary shortage of people before fighting monsters, you only need to find one from the online guild members, and the other party is usually willing to fight monsters together. This is short-term cooperation. Therefore, the guild is the player's role in the game.

The 'maximum collection' that can be achieved is also the only possible long-term cooperation."

"It's great. My son plays Sony game consoles all day long. If he can say what you said, I can worry less. So, have you ever had any experience of failure in games?"

"Yes, I have."

Qingyi smiled, and the softest part of his heart was touched.

"I was betrayed. During a team mission, I was abandoned by other members. It's a pity that you can't sign a contract in the game, and there is no law to hold you accountable."

"I can see that this incident has a great impact on you." Mr. Smith grinned and patted Qingyi on the shoulder like Mr. Johnson. "It's better for setbacks to happen in the virtual world than in the real world, isn't it?"

Qingyi reluctantly said: "Maybe."

Instructor Johnson stood up and came over: "Hey, John, are you done asking? If you continue to ask questions, I will collect money for him!"

"Okay, okay..." Mr. Smith raised his hands and made a "surrender" gesture with a wry smile, then took out his business card from his arms and handed it to Qingyi: "I like you, young man. Here is your work address.
