    Life as an unlucky consultant

    近来时运不济,身边的东西接二连三的坏。先是照相机,然后是手机、手表、西装。今天,在这个偏远的山城,笔记本的屏幕也不亮了。无聊至极,只能拿个小小的PDA,以每分钟两个字的速度打着这篇blog……

    一件件地把东西送去修。送手表的时候,服务员说已经过了保修。不信。仔细算算却又的确已经2年。时间过得太快。人变得太慢。半梦半醒之际,老以为自己还身在杭州。每一次,都看见自己蹬着那辆吱哑作响的破自行车,赶回浙大。在一个雨天,或者黄昏;穿过北山的落叶或者延安路的繁华;一样的笃信与急切。

    现在,在这个偏远的小城晃荡着,拿不定主意明天是要先回香港,广州还是深圳?

    ……

    话说回来,这次出差也的确没有让我失望。几万人的县城,单靠我们到访的这家企业和另外一家养着。直白地说,他们就是当地一霸——别墅群、进口车队、罗马式的办公楼,整整占了一个山头。土皇帝们认为老子天下第一,对于客户突然派来的顾问,满腹狐疑。我们唯有从最底层开始,往主管进发,逐层赢得他们的信任。特别是最后一关单挑老总的时候,更是高手过招,剑过无痕。那个老总,虚晃几招之后,忽然拉来一屋子的人,要求我们“介绍”当今管理上的最新理念。我的senior即席发挥半个小时,赢得满堂喝彩,才终于一剑封喉。小徒弟者如我,虽然没机会上场比武,瞅着刀光剑影倒也看得津津有味。对照人家的招数在下面暗自比划着,老盘算着怎么才能偷上个一招半式。

    可能任何东西都有一个保质期,能修则修,修不好也是命数。但是学到手的教训,却是可以终身受用的。
