CEO scratching head, sales hit a wall, financial halo... The AVA trading company's first fiscal year was difficult and costly. Second, the first SanCai years, CEO under the CFO for, in a timely manner from the human resource allocation, risk control, market orientation, etc, to do a comprehensive adjustment, give full play to the team members' expertise, arouse enthusiasm, finally in the "practice" two years later, from the first SanCai years begin to profit, to the final "harvest", the company's assets from the start of the 6000 yuan capital, to accumulate 60000 yuan of liquidity, the market situation to be able to reverse.

On April 5th, 7 students from grade 8 and 9 of kunming shiqing international school participated in the third tianjin iron future business simulation challenge. Not afraid of difficulties in the game, the courage to try, and finally stand out.

Tiemilai is the professional organizer of China youth business simulation challenge, which aims to help students know themselves, know the world, develop business awareness and plan for a better future. The competition identified five roles: producer, trader, mock government, consumer state and UN. With members of the organizing committee playing the roles of consumer countries and the United Nations, students can only choose to play manufacturers, traders and governments. The "manufacturer" shall design and produce the products and sell them to traders for a profit. "Traders" need to make a profit by purchasing products and selling them to other traders; "Simulated government" is to formulate national policies, manage enterprises and improve the overall economic strength of the country.

In AVA trading company founded by KWYA students, ji bochen, grade 9, serves as CEO, responsible for human resource allocation, grasping the company's general direction and formulating the action policy. Liu yaopeng, an eighth-grader, took on the CFO role. In addition to sharing the duties of CEO, he was also responsible for business negotiations with manufacturers and trade shows. Li Lin, bu xuan ting, zhang yihan and Yang ziyi are responsible for financial management and marketing. Chen xi, another grade 8 student, joined other teams with rich competition experience and different skills to take charge of some business negotiations and sales exhibition.

In the first fiscal year, the AVA trading company team, which was participating for the first time, was unfamiliar with the rules and operating system. As the new company CEO ji bochen at a loss. "I didn't know what to do or what my team members were good at." Sales teams are even more frustrated: they don't know how to communicate with manufacturers. At a loss in the face of negotiations. The days passed, and in the end, "I had to do business, because I couldn't put it off any longer." Buxuan scapes said. But there is hope for the first step. In the course of implementation, we have found it difficult in reality, but not as difficult as we imagined... After several twists and turns, AVA finally sold its first product in the second fiscal year. However, it lost money due to the unreasonable allocation of raw materials.

In the second and third fiscal years, all the members of AVA trading company learned from the experience and became more and more brave. CEO ji bochen adjusted the allocation of human resources and determined the general direction of exhibition and sales according to the market demand. Liu yaopeng assisted him in risk estimation. Zhang yihan and Yang ziyi were more generous and natural in the negotiations, and won many business deals. Busxuan scapes began to sell with ease; Li Lin became familiar with the operating system. Chen xi and the partners of counterscale trading company solved the system problem through negotiation with the United Nations, and the products they sold were all profitable.

After "one or two years" of experience, we accumulated experience and operated like a fish in water. Finally, we had a "bumper harvest" in the third and final fiscal year. Instead of going bankrupt, AVA trading company made a lot of money in the last two transactions, and its assets increased from 6,000 local currency to more than 60,000 local currency. And the company of counterscale trade that Chen xi is in earns 700 thousand local currency, behead won "best trader" award.

Through participating in this business competition, students learned a lot of professional knowledge of business, and experienced the brutal competition and the difficulty of business. After the business competition, several students have reflected.

Ji bochen, CEO, said, "I realized the cruelty of business competition and found many shortcomings, such as unclear division of labor and lack of clear ideas. I hope we can improve in the future. I hope to have more opportunities to participate in such activities in the future and gradually overcome these shortcomings." "I found the most important things in business are contract rigor, teamwork and efficiency," liu said. I think it's true in real life." Yang ziyi and li Lin mostly reflected on their own shortcomings. "I didn't actively join the team this time and wasted a lot of time. I will improve in the future." "In this activity, I didn't make a lot of contributions to our company, because I didn't do enough homework and didn't know much about financial knowledge, which also led to data processing errors." Bushting recognizes the significance of communication: "be positive and communicate. Only communicate to achieve your goals." Zhang yihan and Chen xi talk about their biggest gains: "cooperation is a two-way street. It's important to find the right manufacturer." "You must not be afraid of making mistakes in a team of masters. You must learn more, think more and communicate more. Dare to experiment. Learning and practicing is one of the best ways to improve yourself."
