On a Friday in December 2019, in Chengdu, Zhang Lan rented a house.

Although her parents are in Chengdu, in order to be able to walk to work, and because of Australia's 14 years of independent living habits, Zhang Lan still rented a suite about half an hour's walk from the company. Relatively new community, relatively new high-rise, the door is also relatively new household appliances, square with a balcony, Sun Han couldn't help but praise when he entered the door: "This is also great, Chengdu is really a place to live." ”

Zhang Lan: "Did you come over early this morning and go straight up the mountain?" ”

Sun Han: "No, the airport will go straight to Dujiangyan, but there is also a place over there where you can climb for a while, and I also saw the meritorious pandas, didn't you just come back now, otherwise you still go to work, I have to find something to do." It's time for you to take the weekend off, right? ”

Zhang Lan: "Yes, or I'll drive tomorrow to fulfill your wish to go to Mount Emei." How many days are you going to stay? ”

Sun Han: "I'm still on vacation next week, and I worked too much overtime on weekends before, so I saved up for the holidays." Today, during the day, your new research company came to me again, and knowing that I happened to be here, I made an appointment to go and talk in person on Monday. After the conversation, maybe next week we will go to the vicinity of Chengdu, maybe Chongqing, and then go back. ”

Zhang Lan: "Then you feel free, I don't care about you, I'll hurry up and get the weekly report or something, and then have fun on the weekend." ”

Sun Han found the books in the room, took them and flipped through them, while Zhang Lan on the other side turned on the computer, and several different documents flashed on the screen......

Saturday, Chengdu, Mount Emei.

The drizzle, the smoky Mount Emei, and sometimes the frizzy big monkeys emerge to accompany them, all the way to the golden summit of the main peak. At a glance, the smoke and rain were misty, and in the blindfolded confusion, the eyes were like a flowing ink painting. Zhang Lan grabbed Sun Han's hand stretched out with a smile, shook his head, was dragged, and climbed upwards with his strength, and Sun Han's ridicule sounded in his ears: "Aren't you, I think we climbed to Mou every weekend back then."

I'm going to drink coffee at the top of the mountain. Can't you walk now? ”

Zhang Lan pulled hard, "Please, you climb the 6th floor every day in Shanghai, of course I can't do the elevator every day, you also said that you want to be back then." ”...... There is mist in the air, laughter with memories, all the way to talk about the comparison between Australia and the present, in fact, it is not sour, but it is inevitable to think of it occasionally.

For Sun Han, after a happy weekend, it is time to meet on an unknown Monday with a little hope.

It's rare to have two people to work together again, as if I was back in Australia for a while, although it wasn't for a long time, but I still rented Mou together for a while

In the house halfway up the mountain, we went down the mountain to school together and made an appointment to go home together. To borrow a half-joking sentence from Zhang Lan, "Just feel it in advance, in case you really have the opportunity to come to Chengdu and be together again." ”

Monday, Chengdu, in the research company of the Education Group.

After greeting and introducing each other, we went straight to the point.

Mr. Yao: "Mr. Sun, we have communicated twice before, and today we have the opportunity, so let's just say that we will meet again, and it will not be an interview, just talk again, and you can also take a look at the company environment here or something, maybe you will have the opportunity to work together in the future." ”

Sun Han: "Thank you, Mr. Yao, it's a coincidence, I came to Chengdu on a stubble, and it just so happened that your HR left a message, just like you said, I also hope to have a chance to meet and talk in person." ”

Mr. Yao: "Yes, yes. Mr. Sun has been in Australia for many years, right? I remember the first communication, you also mentioned overseas, after all, research and camp education have been developed for more than 100 years, and the domestic policy support has not started for a long time, what do you think is the difference or gap between China and foreign countries? ”

Sun Han: "Yes, I have been in Australia for 12 years, and I have been in contact with research and camp education relatively early, and I have been deeply involved in this field, in fact, I want to communicate with you first is that when I first came into contact with this field in Australia, I will see and hear that many people from grandfather to father to son, including brothers and sisters, have been going to the same camp, I will ask myself a question, why, so many years of work experience, I can also ask myself to answer it, and it also corresponds to your question." I think first of all, multi-site research and single-site camps are not completely consistent, if you have to comprehensively, I think there are several differences between China and foreign countries, including camp construction, product system, manpower supply, and result presentation. ”

Sun Han continued: "First of all, in terms of camp construction, in fact, this also involves off-site replication. Most of the camps in China are comprehensive, and they seem to have everything, but in fact there seems to be no particularly professional blocks. However, there are many overseas camps with different themes and different natures, which are actually related to the user's choice, sometimes large and complete, especially when parents are faced with many large and complete, it is not easy to choose. Most parents may not be able to see the strength of educational attributes or the level of professionalism, so they may be influenced by other factors, which may lead to many educational institutions in this field paying one-sided attention to marketing and promotion rhetoric, but not paying attention to vigorously developing content. At least for now, this is the case.

The second is the product system, I think this aspect is very different, most of the overseas have a clear curriculum system, including the hierarchical teaching of different age groups, there is a progressive and advanced relationship between different age groups, even if students go to the same camp year after year, they will feel that even if it is the same theme of the course, what they experience is also continuous, then they will naturally be interested, which is also the reason why I just wanted to ask myself about the topic. Sometimes I go to different destinations, but the different destinations are closely connected by the same theme, so there are multiple points, but the core is not scattered. The reason why I think this is important is also because research and camp education itself will be considered a high-cost and low-frequency activity, and I can't help but think about how to change from low frequency to high frequency, or whether it is possible to do so. I think that if the time cycle is extended, the curriculum system has a clear and progressive plan, just like parents know that their children's learning of the school-based curriculum is the first grade and the first grade progress, when parents realize that this kind of quality education also has a system and an advanced relationship, I think they will pay for it, so this is also closely related to the repurchase rate.

Then there is the supply of manpower, which is actually related to national conditions and some policies. There are many overseas teachers who are volunteers, of course, some people do things out of love and public welfare, but some people are also because of this kind of volunteer activities, which can be linked to their own work and help the promotion of their own work, so of course the enthusiasm to participate is much greater. The training of overseas camp education teachers is also very professional, there are cycles and advancements, and it is not a random recruitment of temporary employees, and they will be hired immediately after temporary training. However, at present, many institutions are mostly hired temporarily during the holidays, such as tour guides, such as college students, but there is a lack of daily training, and even a lack of centralized training before implementation, so the effect can be imagined. However, I have seen relevant news, it seems that starting in 2020 next year, some pilot colleges and universities will open research majors, and I think this is also a great support and a source of talent supply.

The other is the presentation of results, I mean the presentation of educational results, which I think is currently missing from most institutions in China. The results of some institutions are presented in a clear and single way, for example, through the research manual to do the output of visual results. However, for example, overseas, in addition to things such as research manuals and teachers' books, the visualization effect will also include posters, board reports, edited videos, picture albums, and steps such as promotion after the project is completed, including some professional themes, such as report meetings, report performances, and even recommendations to participate in the selection, which are opportunities for teachers and students to participate, so the objects that can continue to be presented after the project is completed, students and teachers will be included. At present, I see that individual projects of individual institutions may be extended, but most of them are missing this link. ”

Mr. Yao: "Mr. Sun, you are really too detailed, although I have been in the group for many years, but I have just entered the industry, I really hope to have the opportunity to learn more from Mr. Sun." Then Mr. Sun, you don't know what your plans are for the company? Let's just chat, can you get to the bottom first? ”

Sun Han: "Mr. Yao, you are so polite, and I thank you for communicating with me so directly." At present, I just know that you are a reserve post, and it may only be started after the Spring Festival, so I don't know if I can ask you about the direction of your planning first? For example, I just mentioned that research and camp education are not completely consistent, including research should also be divided into two kinds of mid-semester and vacation, and the relevant policies are also different, I don't know what is the main direction in your plan? Or will all of the above businesses be included? ”

......

Friday night, Chengdu, Zhang Lan rented a house.

Zhang Lan: "I'll send you tomorrow morning, don't book the plane too early." I haven't had time to ask in the past few days, how are you chatting with Mr. Yao? ”

Sun Han: "It feels like they're looking forward to me joining the company, and what he said is quite obvious. Later, HR came to me again and asked if I could join the company after the Spring Festival. I said yes verbally, but I haven't sent an offe yet

It can't be said to be a certainty. ”

Zhang Lan: "What about Shanghai, do you think it's over?" ”

Sun Han: "I always feel that I only do international business, and if I have to copy the rhythm of Australia to do, one is unrealistic, the other is risky, Shanghai I will definitely not mention the resignation first, Chengdu is not 100% notified, Shanghai will do it first, anyway, I will take this vacation, and then stay up for half a month, and there will be a holiday in mid-January, and the Spring Festival of 2020 will be early." ”

......

No one expected that the holiday in mid-January 2020 would continue into March.
