196 Cooperation

Yu Xiaochun gave advice to Rockets head coach D'Antoni, saying that through the team's glorious history education, the players can maintain their desire to win and stimulate the competitive state in the sprint stage.

Glorious history education is originally a very Chinese-style team building content. Some teams go deeper, adding military training or patriotic education, and many teams' foreign aid does not understand, but they are not forced to participate. Although these contents are somewhat mechanical and rigid, and quite a legacy of concentrated sports in the eighties and nineties, they are not in essence for the sake of formalism. They were indeed Chinese in building discipline and cohesion in the team, but it was somewhat unexpected for Koharu to be accepted by liberal Americans (and the more liberal Italian-American coach D'Antoni).

The head coach also arranged for the team's assistant, his good buddy's girlfriend Meritis to come to assist, which made him a little uncomfortable.

has always been not good at dealing with women, Yu Xiaochun from the previous sports video website, and then to the current Rockets, has indeed maintained a male-dominated working environment, which has saved him a lot of unnecessary troubles - otaku just don't know how to approach women on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can't help but be distracted by them, everyone understands this contradiction, right? But in the matter of the current proposal, it seems that working with Meritis cannot be escaped!

Yu Xiaochun was still struggling with how to deal with it, and Meritis came to the door early the next morning with a laptop bag!

Yu Xiaochun really hadn't seen Meritis completely at work, and he was startled when he came.

"Hi Koharu, good morning!"

"Hi Meritis, good morning to you too! Yiming he went out for a run, I don't know if you came over so early, do you want to have a cup of coffee, let's wait for him for a while? ”

"No!" She refused neatly and said, "Give me a cup of coffee if you have it, thank you." We can get to work while we wait for him to come back, and that's okay. ”

Meritis pulled out of her computer bag as she spoke, opened it, took out a stack of papers and a pen, pulled out the dining table and chair and sat down. This straight-to-the-point posture frightened Yu Xiaochun again, but he only heard the other party say: "Then let's start here?" ”

Yu Xiaochun didn't dare to disobey, he said, "I'll pour you coffee and get the computer", only to get a moment of respite, but after doing these two things, he had to come back and sit down obediently.

"Thank you!" Meritis took the black coffee handed by Koharu, who was supposed to go to get the sugar and milk, but she waved her hand and refused. She took a sip of her hot coffee and got straight to the point: "Coach D'Antoni told me last night about your proposal to educate the players on the team's glorious history, and I think it's a really good idea. I thought of several plans overnight, and simply made a presentation description (PPT), I'll tell you first, let's go through it together? ”

Yu Xiaochun peeked at the clock in the corner of the computer screen, and it was not yet 9 o'clock in the morning. Early in the morning, he had to listen to someone talk about PPT, and he couldn't help but have a little headache, but he could only listen to it.

"First of all, the Rocket History Museum at the Toyota Center is a must-see. Secondly, I would like to invite a veteran of the Rockets to the arena, under the championship flag and retired jersey, to tell everyone about winning the championship that year..."

"Speech under the national flag - this is quite characteristic of Chinese campus teaching." Yu Xiaochun interjected, and Meritis smiled in return.

"Finally, I would like to ask a few old fans of the Rockets to talk about the Rockets and their feelings, expectations, and so on from the perspective of a spectator, what do you think?"

"I think it's good, it's good, it's more than I thought. I haven't had time to think about it since I came back last night. The second half of the sentence is the truth.

Yu Xiaochun casually echoed, originally thinking that he could perfunctory the past, but he didn't expect to get a real job: "It's good to be good." Then we need to finalize the details. ”

"What details?" He asked alertly, knowing that something was wrong.

"All the details!" Meritis asked rhetorically, as if looking at an alien. As she spoke, she flipped to a new slideshow and showed it to Yu Xiaochun.

I saw that on this page of PPT, it was full of various details that had yet to be confirmed by the two, and all of them ended with question marks, which made Xiaochun's scalp numb. Up until this morning, he and Meritis had been more personal contact with friends, she was attentive and kind, and full of optimistic positive energy, but there was no sign of a workaholic or detail-oriented person. But it had only been one morning, and he had already seen both horrible faces!

"When: What is the specific date for the Rocket-making history event? Duration? When does it start? How long is each session? How long does it take to get too long between different steps? ”

Where: Toyota Center – Museum of Rocket History. Playing field: inside the venue? Grandstand? Which seating area in the stands has the best angle to view the flag? Other locations? ”

"People: Who will explain the museum? Which Rocket Legend? Who are Rockets fans looking for? Number? ”

"Process: How to assemble? Routes of action between different regions? What is the content of the event? Priority? ”

"Content: The main idea is to boost morale and keep the whole team competitive – what kind of content is used to achieve the goal? What are the differences and echoes between different links? What is the opinion of the coaching team? What do players want to hear? Writing "what the players want to hear", Meritis wrote "maybe an interview with Yiming" in parentheses next to the question, plus a small peach heart. Yang Yiming is his boyfriend, and this warm little action makes the whole slide page finally look much more cute and readable.

After "content", Meritis also listed several major items, including "communication and transportation", "details and miscellaneous", "fees and cost control", etc., so that Yu Xiaochun read through it with a straight headache, but there are words of suffering. He thought to himself, first, he shouldn't have made a suggestion to talk to the coach about it, second, he shouldn't partner with Meritis because she had a lot of problems, and third, he shouldn't have easily agreed to the plan she proposed from the beginning, which was so many and complicated. If only one of the three steps is selected to be executed, the final workload will be greatly reduced.

"But Mereditis has laid out this whole page of questions in advance, how can she be sure that I will seconded her whole plan by then?" Yu Xiaochun couldn't help but think silently in his heart. He threw the question to the other party, and the answer was: "If you don't agree with my plan, I will fully discuss it with you, let you understand the advantages of my plan, and finally convince you, haha." ”

Meritis said, her trademark sunny smile on her face. She tilted her head and slid her ponytail over her shoulders, and suddenly the workaholic and strong woman outside the details became not so unacceptable. Yu Xiaochun gave up resistance, and Botou and Meritis started from the beginning, examining each issue one by one.

This is also the third reason why he is usually reluctant to work with women: he has never been resistant to beautiful women, and in the end he will only be left to obey!

From 9 o'clock in the morning to after lunchtime, the two finally worked together to solve all the problems on the PPT one by one, and the contact arrangements were appropriate. Only the last one remains, "choose the right Rockets fan", and there are no good results yet.

Yu Xiaochun flipped through the scratch paper in his hand again, took off his glasses, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "I may have a candidate, can you hear if it is suitable..."
