本次活动是保乐力加公司（Pernod Ricard）08年最大的一个活动。来方都是其公司的大客户或者高层。稍微一个没应对好，呵呵，麻烦就大了。 奥运十八天一共有八批次的客人来京看赛事。我们主要做的就是接待工作。这个接待说起来好简单，我之前也曾对此嗤之以鼻。以为他们找我的主要原因是可以用英语交流。我还为自己大学花了一万三一年的学费而深感庆幸呢。可后来发现了，这更重要的是一个团队的磨合。为此呢，更加感谢大学里那帮教授和老外的习惯：teamwork。我也曾在大家手心手背的选择中侥幸成过teamleader，所以对这样形式的工作还不算陌生。第一轮开的客人是最face大的，而这个时候我们的团队却需要开始磨合，所以第一轮下来，难免都有点乱。可比较下来看，我们这个团队虽然陌生，可是流程走得还很好。 团队的成员之间的磨合才是最重要的。大家相互之间有竞争，可更需要合作。好比一个四面八方都有子弹的战场，每个人都挡着一面。可这样的情况下就说明了，成员之间都是背对背的，不是面对面的。这样的形式下，作为teamleader的我，压力就更大了。要及时挖掘每个人的潜力，还要摸清每个人的性格，怎样的合理安排每个人的工作，让整个工作链有条不紊的进行，并且这个过程还愉快并有收获。

    接手这个工作的时候心里就很没底，首先我没做过导游，对接待客人安排流程这一方面来说几乎是全部陌生的；其次我没接触过酒店管理，对客人入住的酒店和相关的管理协调都是从零开始的，酒店的人一看我们是大客户都笑脸相迎，可心里不知道想着要敲诈多少倍呢；再者，我的团队成员都是这两个方面的人才，都有两年左右的工作经验了。没有经验，对自己来说就非常没底。在我心里没底又要硬头皮上的时候我想到了我的导师Leory Dong。感谢他给了我那么多有见地的建议，很多关键的时候，我都发现他当初邮件里简单的话语是那么的有分量。于是我的不眠夜都变成了疲倦后的呼呼大睡，然后起床后又精神百倍的去应付一切。

    那天在宾馆里称了一下自己的体重，呵呵，少了一个kg了啊。同时想起在支教学校的时候，学生的艺术节后，我体重掉了2kg。如果这两次比较起来看，我想我都有收获。只是，生活总是向前的，我应该让自己更好的找好定位了。

    这个热情好客的颜先生执意带他们三位到北京的奥运标志建筑地方看一看。虽然现在安检太严格，我们都不能进场馆，但是在外面拍照留影也很过瘾。而那个罗马尼亚的大老板也对鸟巢一直唏嘘。当我告诉他：The Bird's Nest (Olympic Stadium) is built by steel and glass, no concrete.他张大嘴巴看了很久，说：Fantastic!

                         左一：Batha，右二：Corina 右一：法国人Philippe

    Batha罗马尼亚的一个金融寡头，拥有一个皇宫式的住宅。经常大boss都是是一个很固执的人，觉得对的事情总是坚持。吃午饭的时候，我们就因为中国富人多还是穷人多争执起来。他说他所到的中国餐馆，不管是晚上还是中午，都满座，然后反问我，这是穷的表现？我顿时觉得好笑，于是我告诉他富人才上餐馆吃饭，穷人都在家做。可他还是不接受，没看到北京的档次地方，就说：beautiful, unbelievable...仿佛北京满地都是金子。

    他的助理倒要温和很多，对他的照顾更是无微不至。看起来和我年龄差不多，可人家却已经是一个两岁孩子的妈妈了。这才真是让我觉得难以置信。

    Philippe很幽默，很浪漫。也很好相处。他总是说一些我们要想很久才想得明白的普通话，比如说鸟巢，他总要说成：药啜。嘟着嘴巴很可爱的样子。
