Chapter 629 Daily Life in Business School
Sitting in a well-decorated restaurant, next to men and women who are also well-dressed, Feng Yiping has no appetite for the same well-processed salmon on the plate.
Even a bowl of rice with a plate of pickles would whet his appetite now.
Of course he is not in the student cafeteria now, but in the southwest corner, a place full of venture capitalists. There are so many rich people gathered here, and the surrounding supporting facilities are of course very complete and advanced.
For example, there are restaurants ranging from French to Japanese, but there is no Chinese food.
After entering the business school, other things are fine, but he is not quite used to it yet. One is the pressure of study.
Just like entering Tsinghua University, only to find that the life of college students is not as easy as imagined, and entering business school, only to find that the students in these prestigious schools in the United States are also not as easy as imagined.
As far as the impression in various movies and TV shows, American college students are all kinds of cool, endless parties, changing partners faster than changing clothes, hehe, this kind of understanding is really too superficial.
Feng Yiping even feels that the students in the business school study harder than the students in Tsinghua University in China.
It's not that the students of Tsinghua SEM don't work hard, but objectively speaking, the hardest time is before the exam, and here, every class is under pressure.
The business school has a lot of outdoor courses, such as visiting famous companies and analyzing famous cases in combination with reality. In the first week alone, they analyzed eight cases, more than one in a day.
Afterwards, everyone's homework will be evaluated by the professor. For domestic major courses, the professor who leads the class may not personally correct the homework. It is different here. Not only is the professor himself correcting, but also the comments are very detailed.
Because one of the famous features of Stanford Business School is that there are few students, they only recruited more than 300 people this term, and the ratio of teachers to students is as high as 1:6.
Therefore, unlike the large classes in the School of Economics and Management, where there are often hundreds of people, here, each class usually has only about 30 people, and the teachers have enough time and energy to do these things.
There are few people, and the benefits are great. For example, there is no such thing as grabbing a seat here. In the study room, you can find a seat whenever you go. Moreover, each seat has its own desk lamp and computer.
Therefore, I have to say that the network in the school, Silicon Valley is based on Stanford, so the network facilities here are comparable to not only few universities in the world, but also many companies.
The president of Stanford University once said in an interview at Peking University in 1998, "It is better to say that computers are our foundation than computers are the strength of our school."
No wonder Hong Haoran, who graduated from the Department of Computer Science here, is so proud. He really has the capital to be proud.
The pressure of study is not only brought by the professors, but also by the classmates.
Unlike the School of Economics and Management, many of his hard-working classmates have several years of work experience, and then they are admitted to continue their studies. They are not just guys who only talk on paper, but have rich practical experience. When discussing, there is no lack of people. A bright idea.
Feng Yiping went to see the dormitory of the students, it is really good, the software and hardware are very good.
It is also a square courtyard, which is a bit like a Hakka enclosure. In the large central courtyard, there are also large lawns and gardens.
There is a self-service bar on the first floor, with hot coffee and tea to choose from. Opposite the bar is a gym, which has more complete fitness equipment than Feng Yiping's home, and there is also a large swimming pool. These are also free to open.
But in fact, there are not many students who patronize these places, and they spend most of their time in the library. They are really practicing the concept of "time is money" from now on.
In addition to everyone's self-consciousness, Feng Yiping feels that this has something to do with Stanford's characteristics.
Stanford students have a high proportion of entrepreneurship, and there are venture capitalists on campus. Such unique conditions allow many students, like Feng Yiping, to have the identity of a boss.
I often hear the ideas of other students and get the approval of venture capital. Such an environment will of course have a strong promotion effect on everyone's study.
These hardworking and outstanding students also put a lot of pressure on Feng Yiping.
Oh, by the way, I want to emphasize one more point, the dormitory here is really a legendary mixed-sex residence! After classmate Xiao Feng saw it with his own eyes, his blood boiled for a moment!
You said, why don't those universities in China learn such humanized advanced management experience?
I think in my great dynasty, men and women live in separate buildings, not to mention, there are girls downstairs, and there are administrators with blazing eyes who can't hold a little sand in their eyes. Moreover, this situation is expected to continue forever.
Even in the next century, it is really uncertain whether it will be on par with foreign countries.
In addition to the high pressure of study, another point that he is not used to is the catering at school.
It’s not that it’s not good, it’s that the food in the student cafeteria is well-balanced in nutrition and the taste is acceptable. If you are not satisfied with the food in the student cafeteria, there are other options. In the dining room.
However, his authentic Chinese stomach is really not used to these things. After eating for a week, no matter whether he faces high-end seafood or French foie gras, he is a little bit lacking in interest.
Just like eating KFC once in a while, you will feel pretty good, but if you eat it for two days in a row, you will definitely vomit, and he is the same now.
The guys around are well-dressed and dressed in formal clothes on a hot day. In fact, they are a little curious about an oriental boy in a shirt who comes to this high-end restaurant every day. For a student, eating like this is quite luxurious. , especially in this year's situation.
Could it be said that this is also a lucky man who has succeeded in starting a business? However, in recent months, there has been no such news?
Sighing, Feng Yiping was about to stuff the piece of salmon in front of him into his stomach with a glass of juice, when the phone rang, "Yiping, I'm at the school badge on the big lawn, where are you?"
Why did she come running over at noon, "I'm eating, come right over,"
"Hee hee, hurry up, I've brought you food too,"
"Okay," Feng Yiping quickly waved to the waiter, "Pay the bill, take it away,"
There was no one around the school badge, and he was about to make a phone call when he saw Huang Jingping waving at him from a distance behind a palm tree, "Here,"
Walk over and see, good guy, the Range Rover is parked under a redwood tree, with a simple table and two stools next to it, with four tureen bowls placed on it, in an authentic picnic posture.
Once opened, scrambled eggs with chives, tofu with shrimps, twice-cooked pork, meatball soup, just smell the taste, it is very good!
"Why did you think of bringing me food?"
Huang Jingping smiled and took the salmon he packed, "Every night you eat so much when you go home, it must be because you ate less at noon,"
"You still know me best," Feng Yiping held her face and sucked.
"I'll deliver it to you at noon every day, okay? I'm bored eating alone at home," Huang Jingping asked while filling his bowl with vegetables.
It takes at least half an hour to drive home from school, and it takes nearly two hours to go back and forth for dinner. Feng Yiping doesn't have that much time at noon.
"How about we also rent an office here and use it as a restaurant?"
"What a waste, and besides, that's how I like picnics,"
"Okay then." Stanford's environment is really not built. Many students call it "the farm" by their relatives. Eating in such a place is really like a picnic.
"I want to go to Chinatown in the afternoon," Huang Jingping said.
"What to buy, do you want us to go together at night?"
"No, I'll go to the traditional Chinese medicine store," Huang Jingping said with her head down, "I'll buy some herbs to make soup for you."
It's not that they don't know the reason why Xia doesn't nourish, it's just that once Jin Ling and the others left, the two of them would sing and sing every night-to emphasize, it was mainly for planting seeds.
So these days, Feng Yiping is very busy during the day and very tired at night. Of course, he enjoys this kind of hard work.
There are only exhausted cows and no plowed fields. Huang Jingping is worried about his health and plans to give him a little nourishment for this cow.
"Then take it easy, I'm in good health, it's fine if I don't supplement it, if the supplement effect is too good, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it,"
"I can do it," Huang Jingping smiled, swallowing a meatball in one gulp.
I'll go, you, are you provocative?
Feng Yiping wiped his mouth, "Eat fast, drive to find a place where no one is around,"
Just talk without practicing fake moves, women like to be giants in words, we men should be giants in action.
