我们班级前两天（Juni.16-18th, 2009）搞了一次商业模拟竞赛，每四个人一个组，我和一个印度同学Bharat,一个德国同学Stephan, 一个中国同学chanfang在一个组。
From Monday to Wednesday this w 
, our class had a business simulation competetion. Every 4 persons were in a group and I was in a group with Bharat (Indian guy), Stephan (German guy) and Chanfang (chinese girl).
我们班总共5个小组，就仿佛5个公司，都卖黑白复印机，成本约200欧元/台。然后，我们模拟操作运营6年（我们把半天当做一年），每年都有不同的新市场战略，每年教授也会提供不同的经济大环境，最后比较6年之后，哪个公司的利润最高。
In total, there were 5 teams simulating 5 different companies selling the same products. The first such product was a black and white copy machine. The unit cost was arround 200 Euro. Half a day represented a year in this competition and we had to run this business for 6 years. At the end of these 6 periods, the team which had the highest profit would be te altimate winner of the game.
首先，我们分工了：我是销售市场部经理，Bharat是研发部经理，Stephan是生产部经理，Chanfang是财务、行政和人力资源经理。
In my team, we gave each other tasks: Bharat was the R&D Manager, Stephan was the Production & Purchasing Manager, ChanFang was the Finance, Admin & HR Manager and myself as the S&M Manager.
然后，让我崩溃的团队经历就开始了：
After that, my miserable team working experience began:
Bharat, Chanfang和Stephan在比赛开始之前没有读公司手册，不知道公司到底有什么没什么，也没有读游戏规则（游戏规则里面有重要的一条：如果你放行了新产品，就也意味着你的老产品下线了，变成过时的，卖不出去的东西）。只有我一个人读了游戏规则和公司手册。
Bharat, Chanfang and Stephan didn’t read the set rules and regulation of this game during the first period, so they didn’t know which factor would affect the performance of the company. Additionally, during the game there was a very important instruction or fact to be considered, which read: Once u launch a new product, it means ur previous product would become out-dated and ob…, evidently I was the only one who read this info.
Bharat对我很信不过。因为在印度歧视女性的现象很严重，我所有的想法和计算，他都很质疑。这样类似的事情，也出现在我和Shiva (另一个印度同学)的合作中，让我很受不了！在他们心里，女人就只能生孩子，别的基本上没有一点用处。所以他坚持反复检查我的结果，每个数字都要问我是怎么来的！而且还不断的否定，说我的想法不好。
Bharat never showed a shred of trust in me. I could c it clearly through his paranoal actions towards me, maybe coz of discrimination against women which is rife in India. He doubted every number I calculated and asked me how I could get such. Actually, it was not the 1st time I met such an low-level headed kind of issues, as I have had an probable working experience with another indian colleague Shiva who on his own accord treated me in the same manner. I think, in their mind, women’s sole purpose to bear babies only and nothing more.
如果说Bharat完成了自己的计算，然后来验算我的部分，也就罢了。我靠，这个大哥自己的部分全部靠“猜”。靠猜想的不只是Bharat, 还有Stephan. 所以，我们第一年，本来可以卖很多，结果因为只生产了一点点，所以就亏了7.7%.
When finished with is part of calculation, Bharat re-calculated my part with the assumption that I was not good at what I was doing. However, it would be appropriate in this sense to use the phrase, “OMG”, this guy only guessed instead of calculating. The most scary thing was Bharat was not the only one who guessed, Stephan also did the same thing 
We could have sold a lot of machines, but our production was very low, so we had a loss as 7.7%.
第二年，这俩大哥还是勇敢的“猜”了下去，不过猜的准了一点，我们又亏了6.4%. 也还是我做了很好的市场计划和很正确的定价，可是生产的东西不够。
In the 2nd period, these 2 brave guys kept “guessing”, but it was a little bit more accurate than before. We had a loss of 6.4%. I priced products and 
e the marketing plan, but the prodution was still less than demands.
第三年，Stephan终于变得有点像德国人了，开始计算，而且计算的很好，我们终于可以生产很多很多的东西了，我们生产了很多黑白复印机。我也计算的很好，定价和市场战略都很不错。由于Bharat还在“猜”，所以，他剩下的时间比大家都多很多，他就自告奋勇帮我们小组填表格。
In the 3rd period, Stephan finally became “German”: he began to calculate and he did a good job, so we produced a lot of Black-and-white photo copy machine. As usual, I also finished my part without mistakes. However, Bharat was guessing so he had more time than us, he filled the final decision forms for our group.
噩梦终于开始了。
Nightmare began
Bharat私自在市场策略的方框里面勾上了“放行新产品：彩色复印机”！天啊，首先，销售部没有计划卖；其次，生产部根本就没有生产，只生产了黑白复印机，根据游戏规则，这个就卖不掉了……
Bharat crossed “Launching new product: color copy machine” without notifying us. OMG, first of all, S&M didn’t make plan to sell it; Second, Production Dept. didn’t produce anything for it, we only produced Black-and-White copy machine. As per regulatory conditions of this game, we couldn’t sell what we produced at all.
教授说：第3组的同学在第3年就倒闭了，原因是亏损56%.
Prof. said: Team 3 is bankrupt in 3rd period due to a loss of 56%.
这时候，我们才知道Bharat做了什么。
Until then, we knew what Bharat did.
后来，更雷人的事情出现了：
Afterwards, the 
y" /> ing things happened one after another:
1，Bharat跑去哀求教授，让他再给我们参加这个游戏……我靠，我是女孩子，脊梁骨都没有这么软！愿赌服输的道理都不懂！
1, Bharat went to prof. and begged him to give us another chance…….Take the investments and pay the loss. It is the basic 
for you to take part in a game. Considering my femalehood, I will never do such to degrade our status. I totally dislike it when guys do this kind of thing, it is 2 cheap.
2，Stephan和Bharat又在地上拣了一张第5组的年终报告表格，就仿佛见到宝一样，说：“你看，他们也投资了新产品，为什么他们没有倒闭？”他们就很开心的拿着这张纸去找教授了……我就要拦住他们，因为如果我们在比赛中输了，最重要的是反省自己的失误，而不是去挑拣别人的错处。这不是典型的“中国男足”做法吗？输球又输人！……结果愣是没拦住，还被教授刺儿了一顿，教授说：“人家生产新产品了，当然可以放行新产品；你们生产新产品了吗？就开始放行！”他们俩就灰溜溜的回来了。
2, Stephan & Bharat picked up the team 5’s final decision form, they checked the paper carefully and happily:”U C, they also launched new product, but y r they not bankrupt?” They took that “precious” paper with them and went to prof. again. I tried to stop them, coz the biggest lesson we should learn from this game was to learn sth. from our own failure but not to check others’ faults. This kind of things I thought only China National football team could do it that way, it was not a graceful failure and degraded ourselves again. My efforts didn’t work, so they found prof. and got satirised from him:”they producted new stuffs, of coz they can launch, but did u produce sth. u launched?”
3，后来小组总结Presentation，每个组都做。Bharat和Stephan看到第1组的表现最好，他们就说，咱们也说他们的想法吧？我就火冒三丈了，我说：我们已经输了这个游戏了，不要这么丢人现眼，好不好？输就输了，不要输的让大家都瞧不起！不要剽窃别人的想法！
3, afterwards, every group had to make a presentation to summurize our experience. Bharat & Stephan saw the team 1 was the best, so they wanted to plagiarise team 1’s marketing strategy. I was very angry, I said: We r alrealy losers in this game, but pls keep a little bit dignity.
据教授说，我们组的成绩都会是D，我倒是不在乎成绩，只是这个合作太不愉快了！
According to our prof., our performance would be D. I dont care about the scores, but this cooperation was so pathetic.
我给一个朋友讲了我的遭遇，我的这个朋友很精辟的说：不怕神一样的对手，就怕猪一样的队友啊！
I told one of my friends this story, he told me a very smart conclusion: We r never afraid of our competitors being 2 strong, but afraid of our colleagues when 2 weak.
