忙碌的比赛过程使我感受到前所未有的压力，也让我懂得如何更好地与人沟通、掌握商业谈判技巧。此次比赛中可谓一波三折，种种困难层出不穷。好不容易，我们才使整个公司运作起来。虽然，最终由于不熟悉规则，公司破产了，但这段经历终将是我宝贵的财富。
During the competition, I felt unprecedented pressure and was busy. I learned how to better communicate with people better and acquired business negotiation skills. There was a series of twists and turns, and the difficulties almost caused me to collapse. But after I cooperated with teammates, we succeeded in making the whole company operate, although in the end we are not familiar with rules, and make the company go bankrupt. The time I work with teammates and break through the difficulties is such an important and worthy experience for me.

作为主办方负责人，从前期到开展协和杯模拟商业联赛，非常繁忙。因为年轻，所以相信自己有多种可能，所以接受这个使命。几个月的辗转反侧、艰难险阻、无数的质疑和放弃，是我一步步成长到了今天。富有理想的我们，接触到从未到达的世界。如果有下一次，我们还是同样的殚精竭虑，但是我们也一定会更加坚强。活动结束后的我，一时语塞，我们笑着、说着、闹着，这是我们绝不后悔的青春！
Holding such a huge event is an extremely hard but exciting thing for both the host team and the participants. Since we are young and passionate, we believe there are so many possibilities for us. Thus, we took this challenge. We’ve been through all the worries and emergencies, endless problems and disagreements, and finally after all the effort and hard work, we made it. Because of the support from all sides, we learned a lot and grew a lot. There are still lots of things that we didn’t consider and things that we don’t know. If there will be another chance for us to hold similar events, I believe there will still be the same crazy work for us to do, but our hearts will be much stronger.

Day 1
Oct. 27, 2017
商赛的第一天，神奇、感动。进校第一眼看到的是大大的背景版，突然心生感动。走到签到处，看到志愿者们忙碌的身影，真是让人瞬间振奋，联赛真正开始了。
On the first day of the competition, it was amazing and inspirational. Iimmediately saw the bulletin board when I arrived at the school gate, and suddenly I was moved. The volunteers were also ready for the participants. We had a particularly slow morning.
当我走进会场，许多参赛者早已入座，等待学术老师发言、讲解流程、解释职位和商业术语。
I walked into the venue and saw tables neatly ordered with groups of contestants waiting for the academic teacher’s first speech. He explained the process, position, and the terminology, step by step. Everyone appeared very serious. At 12:00, lunch began. The white dining table and the sunlight through the glass softened the cold white wall, and everyone seemed to be affected by the atmosphere, as they quietly ate lunch.
下午的试运营环节，整个会场更加热闹，堪比毕业季招聘人才市场；零食铺的生意也逐渐火热，微信上的转账频率也不断增加。躲开 “吵闹的会场”，漫步于走廊，欣赏着我们自己设计好的易拉宝，专属纪念品礼袋，仿佛看到了成长，几个月的努力没有白费。
At the end of lunch, there was a trial run, and the volunteers were in the middle of each group. The whole venue was in a moment of excitement like the job market for graduates every year. The snack shop business was getting better too, and the frequency of transfers on WeChat is increasing slightly. In order to avoid the “noisy” venue, I strolled the hallway, looking at the posters which were designed by us – the students. Suddenly, I had a strange feeling of growth. I believe the smile on my face proves that the several months of effort put into this day were not in vain.
再次回到会场，已经是第一财年了，每个人更加的拼命，志愿者一声声的叫号，参赛者一组一组的出去检验产品，一切都那么的现实，又那么的梦幻。
Once again I returned to the meeting place. The first speakers had already begun, and everyone seemed more desperate. The participants were busy checking the products. Everything is so real, and also like a dream.
一天下来，每个人都有点超负荷，闭上眼睛休息，第二天还有一场硬仗……
At the end of the day, everyone gets a little overworked. I felt like we should all take a rest, because tomorrow will be a tough one…
Day 2
Oct. 28, 2017
第二天，我们仍旧早早来到学校。感谢保洁人员使会场干净有序。
On the second day of the competition, the weather was cold and in stark contrast to the warm meeting. We still arrived early in the school. The garbage from the previous day had been cleaned by auntie, and the venue is still clean and tidy.
因为是比赛最终日，大部分参赛者到场后，第二财年直接开始。叫号、检测、竞标，和昨天差不多的步骤，隐藏在每一个交易背后是资金疯狂增长或亏损的公司。
Because it was the next day, the second fiscal year began directly in the second fiscal year. Calls, tests, bids, and the sort of steps that took place yesterday, hidden behind everyone’s trading, are companies that are going crazy or losing money.
第三财年过后，终于到颁奖典礼。从个人最佳到公司，在最后的前三名公布前，为了吊大家的胃口，我们请来了赞助方 —— 花旗银行的陈曦先生致闭幕词。
The same lunch, after the third fiscal year, finally came to the final award ceremony. From personal best to the company, before the last three announcements, we invited the sponsor, Mr. Chen Xi of Citibank, to make a final conclusion.
两天的商赛联赛，终于结束了，看着每一位参赛者离去的身影，我们不由地释然。天色渐晚，我们收拾、打扫教室，谈论感受。有焦虑，有疲惫，有新奇，有惊喜，有很多的感动。感谢每一位支持着我们的人，谢谢！
At the end of the two days over the weekend, we were relieved to see that every competitor had gone away. It was getting late, and we gathered every piece of decoration, cleaned every classroom we borrowed, and talked about how we felt everyday. There was anxiety, fatigue, novelty, surprise, and a lot of inspiration… We sit in the classroom after the end of presentation, like the night before, eating light takeout, not a very luxurious dinner, but a gang of friends talking and laughing, making fun of each other, and releasing pressure. We want to thank everyone for supporting us. Thank you!
