Top of the big era

Graduation ceremonies are held in the Great Hall.

Seats are limited, except for doctoral graduates who can all participate in the ceremony, master students and undergraduate students can only select some outstanding student representatives to participate.

The School of Economics and Management in Beike belongs to the side door, the kind that is not valued.

The school didn't give money to build a building, so they could only ask for money everywhere, and even sold the naming rights of the college, which was the first time for a major domestic university.

However, this time, the School of Economics and Management has produced a great talent - Zhou Buqi.

Leveraging Zhou Buqi's influence, the School of Economics and Management sent more than 20 students to participate in this graduation ceremony, most of whom were Zhou Buqi's classmates.

All three of them went to Zhou Buqi's dormitory.

It's a pity that they were arranged in the corner of the back row. Zhou Buqi was in the front row, wearing a red and black doctor's suit, and sitting next to him were all doctors.

This is what he asked for.

There's no way, you can't really go on stage twice and pick the tassels, right?

Take the stage once as an undergraduate and once as an honorary doctor?

Couldn't the whole graduation ceremony become Zhou Buqi's one-man show?

He simply gave up the group of undergraduates and went directly to the stage as a doctor.

At 8:30 am on June 28, the graduation ceremony officially began.

All stand and the national anthem is played.

Then there are speeches by the principal, speeches by the vice-principal, speeches by the director of the Academic Affairs Office...

Zhou Buqi sat upright.

Listen carefully.

In the four years of university, there are really not many opportunities to sit in the classroom.

This is the last time, so I cherish it very much.

After the speech, it was the crowning ceremony.

All students who participated in the graduation ceremony can come to the stage to accept the principal's fringe, and then accept the graduation certificate issued by him, and complete a group photo.

The first wave to come to power is Ph.D. graduates.

The principal also wears a doctor's suit.

The other students didn't know what it was like, but Zhou Buqi had a grand heart, with a sense of majesty and holiness.

This feeling is very strange.

In his previous life, he was just one of the ordinary students in the university, so it was difficult to feel this kind of emotion. I even feel that this crowning ceremony is a bit formalistic, and I will sneer at it. Don't say that this kind of fringe picking ceremony is not his turn, even if it is his turn, he will not care too much, thinking it is worthless.

This life is different.

There is a feeling of tears in the eyes, which will be especially cherished and cherished.

Perhaps, this is the different feelings of different levels and stages.

University for four years.

It's coming to an end.

Looking back on the past few years, Zhou Buqi felt that his college life was very dry. He hardly lived or studied in college. However, this is where his career started.

Whether it was the early ten-school entrepreneurial alliance or Xiaonei, the university provided him with the most precious opportunities.

If he did not have the status of a college student, no matter how well he sold phone cards back then, he would not have been able to recruit so many top college students to join in and start a business with him.

Seeing that he was about to bid farewell to the university, Zhou Buqi was not only grateful, but also a little sad.

The link of crowning is very long.

Different from the multi-thread tassel picking in many schools, many school leaders and even counselors work together to pick tassels for graduates at the same time, the tassel picking ceremony of Beike is all done by the principal alone.

Everyone will line up on stage.

Bow, pluck ears, shake hands.

Say "thank you".

Then they issued diplomas and stood together for a photo.

The process takes about 6-8 seconds for each person.

There are two or three hundred students in the auditorium.

The whole session took more than 40 minutes.

It looks very long.

Zhou Buqi could even find that many students had expressions of impatience on their faces, and felt so bored and irritable, it was really boring.

His state of mind is very peaceful, waiting quietly.

He is special, he is at the end.

The school also gave him special courtesy, with very high standards.

After all the ear picking ceremony for all the students was over, the vice president acted as the master of ceremonies and said: "Students, there is a special classmate among our undergraduates. When he first entered school in 2004, He participated in campus entrepreneurship and started by selling phone cards. Then, he founded Xiaonei..."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sensation in the auditorium!

It's him!

It's him!

it's him!

Our hero Zhou Buqi!

In Beike, many people have never seen Zhou Buqi, and don't know what he looks like, but the name "Zhou Buqi" is really impressive.

Now, there is an office of Xiaonei in the activity center for college students. Every year, some college students who work and study part-time work part-time in the past.

The economics and management building that was just built was also officially named "Ziweixing Teaching Building", and even the name of the college was changed to Ziweixing School of Economics and Management.

The vice principal lowered his hands and raised his voice: "It seems that the students also know that Xiaonei was born in our university student activity center. Have you ever used the Xiaonei Internet cafe?"

"Used!"

The enthusiasm of the students was immediately raised, and the boring part of the long tassel picking just now was gone, and the climax of the graduation ceremony finally came.

The vice-principal said happily: "In just four years, Ziweixing Technology Co., Ltd. started from Xiaonei. Big Internet companies even have their businesses in overseas markets..."

The booing sounded again.

There is no way, all kinds of stories about Zhou Buqi have been passed on in the school.

And this classmate is also very low-key, usually does not show up at all.

Hearing this, Zhou Buqi also came back to school to attend the graduation ceremony? That's great! I can meet real people!

The vice-principal lowered his hands and continued to control the field. Feeling the enthusiasm of the students, he could only make a long story short: "Student Zhou Buqi is an outstanding alumnus of our school who has gone abroad. Everyone has seen it. The newly built economics and management building is built by Ziwei Xingguan. In order to honor Mr. Zhou Buqi for his outstanding contributions in enterprise management and foreign business development in the past four years, our school decided to grant him a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in international economics and trade. Honorary Doctorate!"

The applause couldn't wait to ring out, and the last sentence of the vice principal, "Now we invite Zhou Buqi to the stage" was drowned in the huge applause like a wave.

Originally, it was good to only go on stage and not speak.

But the students are too enthusiastic.

The most important thing is that the vice-principal has created such a momentum that it is impossible to keep a low profile. When Zhou Buqi stepped onto the stage, he felt his ears buzzing from the applause of the audience.

After passing a look, Zhou Buqi naturally walked to the position of the vice principal and faced the microphone.

I had no choice but to give a short speech.

"Hi students, I'm Zhou Buqi."

"boom!"

In the simplest sentence, the applause seems to be able to overturn the roof of the house.

Zhou Buqi was quite emotional.

These are alumni who are about to leave the shelter of the university and enter the society. They will have to face huge changes in the environment, and everything will be very different from the past college life.

He wanted to say something heartfelt.

Encourage these students.

"I believe that you should all go to college with the belief that hard work will pay off, but now you are about to graduate. What is waiting for you is a society that does not necessarily have fair returns even if you work hard. The reason why you think hard work will pay off today There are rewards because the environment around you has inspired, urged, helped you, and praised your achievements in the past. There are still people in the world who have not been rewarded even though they have worked hard. There are people who want to work hard but cannot work hard. People who try too hard and break down physically and mentally."

In the auditorium, there was no sound.

Only Zhou Buqi's voice echoed in the ears of every student through the microphone.

Everyone listened carefully.

Because Zhou Buqi's speech was different from the previous speeches of the principal, vice principal, and dean, and it was completely different from the chicken soup that conformed to everyone's perception in the past.

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "You are graduates of Beike, you are the favored children of heaven, but this is not enough, the knowledge you have learned in college is far from enough for you to survive in society, you need to become better. A prestigious school is not a technical school, you should have a higher level of social cognition and understanding of life. Graduates from prestigious schools should not stand out from the crowd, and should not show off their superiority in front of ordinary people. Please reject vulgarity and stay away from mediocrity.”

Having said that, he paused.

Feeling that he was letting himself go, he turned his head and glanced at the principal.

This is a graduation ceremony, isn't it appropriate to say that?

The headmaster smiled and nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath and continued: "In my opinion, the most terrifying thing after you graduate is to enter a mediocre group. Such a group is definitely not a team, and it will make you lose Be enterprising, and over time you will become a mediocre model. In such a place, mediocrity suppresses talents. Whoever innovates will be punished, and whoever is outstanding will be discredited. Everyone will be muddled together. There is neither ideal nor progress..."

After all, it is an impromptu speech, and it is a bit crooked while speaking.

This topic cannot be discussed anymore.

Replace it quickly.

"1% of people can see 99% of the world, while the remaining 99% of people can only see 1% of the world. The truth that can be recognized by the public is just a herd effect. I hope you can all become that 1% of people. The ancients told us that we should examine ourselves three times a day. How to save? Mark Twain said a word, I hope everyone can encourage each other. When you are on the side of the majority, you should think about you Is it wrong. You have to understand that the world is made up of most mediocre people. When you are the same as most people, you have fallen into mediocrity."

"In the past 20 years of reform and opening up, my country's economic development has achieved world-renowned achievements, and it is already the world's third largest economy. But looking back, we will see that we have followed an extensive development model. In the future, we need to upgrade the industry and move towards innovation.”

"What is innovation?"

"Being different from others and most of the world is innovation. You are needed in the future! Think carefully and move forward boldly."

Zhou Buqi didn't prepare in advance, and felt that his words were a bit messy. The logic before and after was unified, but it was a bit jumpy, and the students might not be able to understand it deeply.

The bewilderment in the eyes of many people can be clearly seen.

He regretted it a little.

Still something went wrong.

If I had known earlier, I should have contacted the school more and made complete preparations. When he was on the field, there was a lack of progression between words, and it was too abrupt to understand.

However, the headmaster was very happy.

Shake his hand firmly.

"Excellent speech!"

"What I said on the spot was unclear and not thorough enough."

"No, it's very good. I hope it can inspire the students." The principal immediately sent out a warm invitation, "When the next semester starts, you will come to speak to the freshmen. Do you have a good talk?"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "OK!"

Next, bow and pluck the ears.

Certificate issued.

Zhou Buqi, a student from Beike University, graduated with a bachelor's degree and a doctorate.
