44. Backward becomes advanced?
The first class in the morning continued with Professor Smith's, and I have to say that the old man's level was so high that Vladimir forgot in his mind that the next class he was going to face was Lucy, and it seemed that the only woman who could make him feel unhappy at the moment.
As soon as Professor Smith started the class, he told the students a classic story.
The story is set in the country of rice a few decades ago.
An old man who lived in the countryside had three sons, the eldest and the second of whom both worked in the city, and only the younger son stayed with him.
One day, a Wall Street businessman approached an old man and said to him, "Dear old man, I want to bring your little son to the city to work." ”
The old man shouted angrily: "No, absolutely not, you get out!" ”
The man was not angry: "If I find a partner for your son in the city, is that okay?" ”
The old man's eyes widened: "No, get out of here!" ”
The man continued: "What if the object I find for your son, your future daughter-in-law, is Bikobor's daughter? ”
The old man thought about it again and again, and was finally moved by the fact that he wanted his son to be "Bikobor's son-in-law".
So, the man took the old man's son.
A few days later, this man found the richest man in the country and the oil tycoon Bikobol and said to him: "Dear Mr. Bikobor, I want to find a partner for your daughter." ”
Bikobol was as angry as the old man: "Get out of here!" ”
The man said, "Is that okay if the person I find for your daughter, your future son-in-law, is the vice president of the World Bank?" ”
Bikobol thought about it for a long time, so he agreed.
A few days later, the man approached the president of the World Bank and said to him, "Dear Mr. President, you should appoint a vice president right away!" ”
Mr. President shook his head and said, "Impossible, there are so many vice presidents here, why should I appoint a vice president?" ”
The man said, "If this man is Bikobor's son-in-law, can he be your vice president?" The president of the World Bank, of course, was ecstatic and agreed to the appointment without hesitation.
After telling the story vividly, Smith changed his tone and threw out a question: "So what did you get from this story?" ”
Feng Nuo, a banker from Rise, did not hesitate to say, "Professor, this story inspires us to develop different solutions for different customer needs in order to maximize profits. ”
Smith nodded, "I've talked about it, but I'm not quite to the point." ”
Velula, the president of the airline from the Philippines, then spoke: "Professor, this story tells us that everything must be innovative, and our thinking cannot be stuck in the past. ”
Smith smiled and commented, "The direction is right, but the range is too large." ”
Many of the students began to speak enthusiastically, but Smith's best comment on them was that "there is still a part of the way to the real core." ”
Vladimir has not spoken, and the reason why he did not speak was not because of his wandering mind, but because he was also lost in thought.
He knew the story because it took place in the world before he crossed over, but the background of the story changed slightly, and the rest was basically the same.
Seeing Smith's expectant gaze begin to look back and forth over the students who had not spoken, Vladimir finally raised his hand.
Smith nodded, motioning for him to speak.
Vladimir just sorted out his thoughts vividly, and after standing up, he began to talk eloquently.
"For this story, we need to analyze it from the outside in, first of all, in this story, there are four parties, namely the old man, the old man's youngest son, Bikobor, and the president of the World Bank, and they are doing their own things, and they don't seem to have anything in touch with each other. And this story is due to the fact that they have their own needs.
It was almost impossible for the old man's youngest son to leave the countryside on his own father and go into the city to find a more decent job than his two older brothers, and the old man also realized that this was the case, so he kept his younger son with him. However, the old man, as a father, is always thinking about the future of his younger son.
Secondly, Bikobol has a daughter, and he is bound to marry, who will he marry?
As the richest man in the United States, the oil tycoon Bikobol is of course unwilling to marry his daughter to an unknown rat, and is willing to marry a young man with status and status or a person with a great future.
Thirdly, Mr. President, the World Bank, it is easy to appoint a vice president, but it must be a strong and capable person. There were already so many vice presidents at the time, and it might have been ridiculous to appoint another one, but Mr. President, considering that it was Bikobor's son-in-law, the son-in-law of the oil tycoon, had to agree.
Fourth, and the story is easy to take for granted, we think or assume that the old man's youngest son is not a fool and that he can learn a lot to get a job as vice president of the World Bank or other senior management positions. Also, the World Bank is growing, and it will definitely need a vice president in the future.
If you compare this story to a financial investment project,
The old man's youngest son represents the project itself;
The position of Vice President of the World Bank represents the future development of the project;
The old man represents the owner of the project;
Bikobol represents the investor.
The project development needs funds, the project owner has no financial ability, the development prospects of the project are promising, and the investor needs a good investment project. The owner of the project, like the old man in the story, in addition to not having the financial strength, can not objectively evaluate the advantages of the project, and it is impossible to give the project an accurate positioning, for example, the old man's youngest son can become the vice president of the World Bank, or become a senior manager of other famous enterprises. The positioning of the project is different for the investor - Bikobor, and the oil lord may value the relationship with the World Bank more than anything else. Similarly, as an investor, Bikobol also has the need to marry his daughter, and also wants his daughter to marry a suitable person, which is not only suitable in terms of marriage, but also in line with the future development of the Bikobol consortium, which must be prudent and prudent. So, is Bikobol capable of finding such a suitable son-in-law, no, because he also has a son-in-law who cannot objectively evaluate the son-in-law that his daughter needs, nor can he objectively evaluate the young people who come to be willing to be sons-in-law, and may think that they have no qualifications to become vice presidents of the World Bank, and they are completely aiming for the richest man in the United States......"
After Vladimir finished speaking, he saw Smith's face admiring.
And it was at this time that Vladimir once again received a learning bonus of +10 from the system.
Vladimir didn't expect his speech to be an unexpected surprise, but he quickly understood why he was being rewarded.
"The host can speak more and be rewarded when the content of the speech is highly affirmed by the knowledgeable questioner."
