[car home Cheku Culture] If I told you that Maserati has a strong premium ability, which is what we often call a "wealth management product", you would definitely think that I was ill. But this time it’s serious, Maserati’s premium ability is really hard! However, it is not a Maserati model, but a Trident Logo placed on a "little old man", and its value has doubled at once …

　　Recently, the fashion toy brand FINDING UNICORN’s hot IP FARMER BOB and Maserati jointly launched a racing series of blind boxes. The blind box of the cross-border joint name of the two brands is divided into six basic models and two hidden models. The basic models are racing enthusiasts, super-running collectors, legendary drivers, racing flag sprints, future pioneers and ranking starters. The small hidden model is called the championship and the big hidden model is the decisive game. Before we get to the point, let’s get to know FARMER BOB and its designer briefly.

　　JO YOUNG WOON, the designer of FARMER BOB, came from South Korea and graduated from Japan with a major in plastic arts and design. In 2013, she officially created the image of BOB. In 2016 and 2017, JO YOUNG WOON made her mark in TokyoDesign Festa. BOB, the protagonist in his works, is a farmer, but BOB’s modeling and accessories are not like traditional farmers, and everything is created at will according to the designer’s personal preference. BOB’s name comes from the designer’s favorite painter Bob Ross and reggae musician Bob Marley. Under the hungry marketing operation of looking for unicorns, after the development of four generations of blind boxes and many limited-edition dolls with different proportions, the FARMER BOB series has now rapidly grown into a wealth management IP…… …

　　FARMER BOB has always been famous for its simple design, and it is produced by the most primitive resin laminating method. Racing enthusiast BOB is the simplest one in this series. BOB’s signature beard is gray, with a white T-shirt with Maserati Trident Logo, and blue shorts with a pair of brown shoes on a white background. The design of racing enthusiasts is too simple, and even BOB doesn’t have any accessories in his hand. I believe that as a collector of BOB, he doesn’t want to draw this one. The design concept of racing enthusiasts is "extraordinary enthusiasm, with talent and persistence, can always achieve the beginning of a legend".

　　The design elements of the first ranked BOB are relatively rich. BOB with dark brown beard is dressed in a dark red shirt with blue and white stripes and shorts of the same color, with pure black shoes. This model is also equipped with a bear holding the No.1 honor card, and BOB has a medal accessory in his hand. BOB’s clothing color matching with the classic Maserati racing car painting is just right, and the rich accessories are believed to make BOB fans love it. In the poster, the Maserati Tipo 151/3 racing car in 1951 appeared beside racing enthusiasts.

　　　The race flag sprints BOB’s clothing color matching follows the blue and white painting of Maserati’s classic racing car, with a bear with the same clothing color matching and holding a black and white checkered flag. In the poster, the racing flag sprinter BOB stood next to a Maserati 300S car from 1956 to 1958. In the official video, the ranking starter BOB and the racing flag sprinter BOB drove their respective Tipo 151/3 and 300S cars for a straight-line acceleration race, and finally they didn’t see who crossed the line first …

　　Personally, the legendary driver BOB is a very unique one in this series. As the only BOB wearing a racing helmet in this series, the legendary driver perfectly restored the appearance of a racing driver in the 1960s. The clothing also uses Maserati’s classic blue and white color scheme, and besides Maserati Logo, there is also the number 5 on the coat. Behind the legendary driver BOB on the poster is a 1960 Maserati Tipo 61 racing car. Although the legendary driver doesn’t have any accessories, the unique dress can still add a lot of color to it.

　　BOB, a super-running collector, is also a unique one in this series. His beard is different from other models. This beard has been used on several large dolls with extraordinary premium ability, such as King BOB, Gentleman and Poseidon. A dark blue suit with a gray tie is full of advanced feeling, and the button details of the Italian flag color scheme are full. The super-running collector BOB in the poster is not MC12 or MC20, but Levante, which seems to be a bit of a jump, but imagine the cross-border cooperation between the two brands, and it is logical for Maserati to push a wave of its own SUV.

　　BOB, the pioneer of the future, has the same clothes as BOB, who ranks first, but adopts a more sporty red and black color scheme. Different from the conventional details of BOB’s hand, the future pioneer BOB’s left hand is not hanging down and open (both hands are open for players to stuff props into their hands), but holding a Maserati wheel. Paired with the future pioneer BOB is Maserati’s Ghibli.

　　Finally, let’s take a look at the two hidden models of this joint racing series. Blind box hidden models usually adopt bolder designs, but the big hidden model (decisive game) and the small hidden model (championship) of Maserati racing series have not brought more surprises to players. Both hidden BOB’s chests have huge Maserati Logo, and the Italian flag tricolor and Maserati’s classic blue clothing color scheme are differentiated. If the biggest difference from the six regular models is the bear sitting in the championship trophy.

　　As the first joint work of Maserati and FARMER BOB, the size of the racing series BOB is 200%, the single price is 999 yuan, the whole box price is 5994 yuan (there are six models, and there is a certain chance to get hidden money). The joint racing series blind box is limited to 3,000 sets worldwide, 2,500 sets are sold in the flagship store of Looking for Unicorn Tmall, 20 sets are reserved by artists and 480 sets are reserved for other activities. In the racing series BOB, there are 151 big hides and 301 small hides.

More exciting videos are all on the car home video platform.

　　Previously, the pre-sale time of the whole box of 1,500 sets (six models) was 20:00, and each ID was limited to one set. However, when many BOB fans clicked into the snap-up page, it showed that the goods were sold out. In the next two days, the official flagship store will sell 3,000 separate models (a total of 1,000 sets) at 20:00, and each ID will be limited to two. It was also sold out in seconds for two consecutive days. After that, players denounced scalpers on major social and tide-playing platforms, and some players uploaded screenshots of their own snapping. Fast players entered the snapping page at 20:00:07, but failed to grab it. However, no matter how fast the hand is, it can’t compete with the "high technology" of the ox.

> > FARMER BOB’s first generation boyfriend series < <

　　Before the snap-up activity began, some players broke out. The whole set of snap-up quotation given by scalpers in the group was 70,000 yuan (the whole set of ontology was 5,994 yuan to be paid separately), which was enough to show that it was difficult for ordinary players to own it by hand. After the snap-up, just like the previous snap-up of limited edition FARMER BOB, the price of this Maserati co-branded FARMER BOB on a fish and a well-known tide-playing platform soared. The price of six regular models ranges from 5800 to 16000 yuan, the small hidden model ranges from 28000 to 37000 yuan, and the large hidden model ranges from 38000 to 50000 yuan.

　　Originally, a long-awaited snap-up activity for players was made by scalpers, and some players laughed at themselves. "Do I have to buy a Maserati to deserve BOB?" The reason why FARMER BOB quickly became the top IP in the tide-playing world has a lot to do with the hungry marketing of finding unicorns. Also because of the soaring price of this "little old man", many players who love it have chosen to retire.

　　Maserati may never have thought that its Trident could have such a strong premium ability. It is not acceptable for ordinary people to buy a trendy game for thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. Fortunately, the Maserati you can buy will not increase in price. The three Ghibli models on sale are equipped with 2.0T and 3.0T engines, and the price of new cars is 772,800 to 1,009,800 yuan. Car home’s used car platform offers honest cars at 655,000 to 828,000 yuan. The first year, the second year, and the third year are 85.46%, 73.89% and 62.32% respectively.

　　Let’s take a look at Maserati Levante. There are five models on sale, which are also equipped with 330 HP and 350 HP 2.0T and 3.0T V6 engines. In addition, the Levante Trofeo model is equipped with a 3.8T V8 engine with 581 horsepower, and of course the price is 1,915,800 yuan. The other four models are priced at 841,800 to 1,079,800 yuan. Because there are few sources of the 2022 Levante in car home used car platform, the 2021 model has more reference, and the price of "Honesty Car" is 729,900 to 1.06 million yuan. The rate of preservation in the first year was 81.4%, in the second year was 74.65%, and in the third year was 67.91%.

Conclusion:

　　The joint work of Maserati and FARMER BOB is not that Maserati has achieved FARMER BOB, but that Maserati has hitched a ride with FARMER BOB. Regardless of the sales volume of Maserati, this Italian car brand is extremely bold and avant-garde in the domestic cross-border field. Before, it was implanted in "Peace Elite", and this time it was strongly combined with Chaowan IP, which is believed to have contributed to Maserati’s influence in the Z generation. With excellent design and hungry marketing, FARMER BOB quickly seized the throne of "absolute wealth management products" for a long time. Looking for unicorn brand is also trying to promote several other tepid IPS by this marketing method, which has achieved initial results from the current market feedback. On the other hand, consumers have long scoffed at hunger marketing, and the same marketing method may have completely different effects in different fields. Finally, warm advice to everyone, no business, is the biggest harm to cattle. (Image from the network text car home Li Xiaopeng)

　　CCTV News:(Reporter Di Chenchen Wang Jiaying) "From the top of the forehead to the eyebrows, from the eyebrows to the nose, from the nose to the chin, each accounting for 1/3. The width of the face is measured by the width of the eyes and divided into 5 equal parts."

　　Sheng Nan drew a few times in front of the mirror, and all three courts and five eyes met the aesthetic standards. "Am I really ugly?"

　　Faced with the delicate and confident appearance of old classmates whom I haven’t seen for several years, Sheng Nan, who has been dressed as a tomboy and laughing for more than 20 years, began to pay attention to "Yan value" under a series of stimuli.

　　The heat in August seems to have brought Sheng Nan a little anxiety. She classified herself as "unsightly". When dieting and exercise still failed, she thought of the most convenient way: plastic surgery. This previously unthinkable behavior was put on the agenda.

　　It’s not nine o’clock in the morning, and people are coming and going in the corridor of the outpatient building of the plastic surgery hospital. What surprised Sheng Nan even more was that she was not the youngest among the students in their early twenties.

　　Linlin, a cosmetic consultant in 1993, worked for more than two years. She showed Sheng Nan the case with an iPad, and conveniently took out a mirror from the pocket of her pink gown. In the mirror, Sheng Nan’s pores were clearly visible.

　　According to Linlin, a cosmetic consultant, the public’s concept of medical beauty has already changed.

　　"In the past, women in their 30 s and 40 s were afraid to let their families know when they cut their double eyelids and made a face. They were all secretive when they walked on the road; Now I even have a husband to accompany me, and some projects will be done together. In the past, younger people would do some basic projects behind their parents’ backs. Now there are many parents accompanying them, and they will not reject large-scale medical beauty projects. "

　　In less than a month, Sheng Nan has been able to generously admit to her friends that she has had plastic surgery. In her opinion, young people of her generation prefer to refer to these behaviors collectively as &mdash; &mdash; "medical beauty" (medical beauty).

　　"Being ugly makes me feel worse than being single."

　　Young faces like Sheng Nan are not uncommon in plastic surgery hospitals. Especially after the summer vacation, the number of students admitted to the hospital increased significantly.

　　"The student group is special and needs the support of family members." Luan Jie, vice president of Plastic Surgery Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences, said.

　　In cosmetic surgery, face-to-face consultation is very important. This link will determine whether it is suitable for fine-tuning and the preliminary plan of surgery. "Many times parents accompany their children to face-to-face consultation, and the two sides may have different opinions on specific details. Therefore, we usually advise parents and children to communicate fully, and the surgery can only be confirmed after both parties agree. "

　　Lin Xiao did this rhinoplasty operation without telling her family. This is not the first time she has operated. After the third nose repair, the change was particularly obvious because it was European-style, like a different person. "My parents saw it and wouldn’t even let me see my grandparents, for fear that they couldn’t accept the stimulation."

　　When she was a child, Lin Xiao was very fat, so she was isolated. She was once pointed at and scolded by a person in the street, "a particularly ugly word", and she didn’t know how to deal with it except to go away quickly. From then on, she began to lose weight crazily, and the height of 1.7 meters was just as thin as 80 pounds. "Seriously, after losing weight, although she is not ugly and fat, she is still an ordinary person, which is too far from those counterattack posts on the Internet and too far from what I expected." Lin Xiao looked at a bunch of suitors around other girls. She lost so much weight but still didn’t change anything, so she moved the idea of plastic surgery.

　　Image source: vision china

　　She cut her double eyelids first, then moved her nose. She felt that her nose was not satisfied, so she repaired it twice. She also went to South Korea to make a three-piece outline, and her double eyelids were readjusted. Counting the face-lifting needle and hyaluronic acid, Lin Xiao was already regarded as the "old Jianghu" in the plastic surgery industry.

　　"Generally, I am satisfied, but of course there are times when I am not satisfied." Lin Xiao didn’t worry about the risk of plastic surgery, the wound couldn’t heal, the flesh and blood couldn’t grow, and it might really be disfigured. During the operation in Korea, she watched the girls covered in gauze, unable to move, and had to insert a catheter for several days, which was really scary. However, with the increase in the number of plastic surgery, Lin Xiao became more and more indifferent. "Everyone is fine. I have experienced it so many times. Anyway, now that medical beauty is so developed, I will adjust it if it doesn’t look good."

　　"After all, ugliness is terrible!" Because the appearance has been treated unfairly and tasted the sweetness of good-looking, Lin Xiao can no longer be willing to lose these treatments. "Under the same working ability, the company will definitely choose good-looking rather than ugly. And people will be very tolerant of good-looking people, even if they make mistakes, they can be forgiven. For ugly people, they will say, you have grown like this, don’t you work hard? Still making mistakes? "

　　"A gamble of beauty seekers"

　　Disassembly of the word "Yan value": Yan, appearance; Value, numerical value Invisible, the face value is measured and compared.

　　Daniel Homer, an American labor economist, pointed out in his article Yan value and labor market that there are both ugly fines and Yan value bonuses in society, and people with high Yan value can get more salary and opportunities.

　　This concept has become the driving force for some people to accept plastic surgery.

　　Gege, who is a sophomore, has undergone several cosmetic operations, and she knows the way of plastic surgery hospital very well. Which doctor is good at eye synthesis, which one can cut bones and which one is the most natural for lip augmentation &hellip; &hellip; These experiences are the result of her practice.

　　"Some black institutions have deep routines, which will induce consumers. Many people who are addicted to cosmetic surgery are more dependent on the instigation of cosmetic surgery institutions besides the dependence on cosmetic surgery itself." What is even more inconceivable is that "the person who will be double eyelid surgery for you may start his career after only three days of study".

　　Gege feels that most of the time cosmetic surgery is an adventure. "I don’t know what I will be like, and it is impossible to predict whether it is good or bad." If you don’t want to into the pit, you have to do your homework.

　　In the waiting area of outpatient surgery in plastic surgery hospital, Gege waited for surgery accompanied by her mother. "Today, I will bury the thread and make a double eyelid. I don’t want to move other parts, such as a high nose, big eyes, a pointed chin and a plump forehead. That’s it &lsquo; Net red face &rsquo; Well, that’s not me. " Referring to why I want plastic surgery, "I am a part-time graphic model. In this line, I rarely don’t move my knife. Only when I am more beautiful can I have better resources."

　　Unlike Gege, Sheng Nan is a little white in the field of cosmetic surgery. Although she doesn’t shy away from cosmetic surgery, Sheng Nan admits that she had backed out before the operation. "When I really lie in the hospital bed and the long needle is aimed at myself, my heart is still tight, silently praying that something bad will not happen."

　　During the facial recovery period, Sheng Nan felt that she had not changed much from the original, but after all this, she thought clearly that beauty depends on her heart.

　　In Sheng Nan’s sister’s view, Sheng Nan’s facial features are not bad, but she should pay attention to dressing. "Now the makeup technology is so strong, there is really no need for plastic surgery."

　　Before that, my sister told Sheng Nan that some people with congenital facial deformities would go to plastic surgery hospitals and rely on medical technology to trim their faces. For these people, plastic surgery is a "timely help", but it is not advisable to expect to change their fate just to improve their looks.

　　"Forced plastic surgery" still owes more than 40,000 yuan in loans.

　　If it is your right to take the initiative to choose cosmetic surgery, it is ridiculous to be forced to have cosmetic surgery.

　　Ms. Liu was attracted by an advertisement for "assistant to the general manager": the monthly salary was 12,000 to 20,000, and no work experience was needed. Ms. Liu, the HR director of the recruitment company, interviewed in the conference room on the fifth floor of a hotel outside the South Third Ring Road in Beijing.

　　"At that time, I decided to stay as his assistant, and then arranged for someone to take me to do a facial lift."

　　A staff member named "Qian Meng" said that Mr. Shen’s assistant is the facade of the company, so it is necessary to carry out facial lifting and plastic surgery. The expenses will be paid in advance by the parties, and eventually the company will pay.

　　With confusion, Ms. Liu was taken to a hospital near the Fifth Ring Road in northwest Beijing, and then the hospital gave her a plastic surgery plan to "do facial filling and face-lifting needles on her forehead and temples", which cost more than 40,000 yuan. "Meng Meng" was revealed to Ms. Liu, because "Mr. Shen has cooperated with this hospital and they have a good relationship, so we came to this hospital."

　　Considering that one month after work, she will earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and Ms. Liu will not care about these conditions. Later, "Meng Meng" operated Ms. Liu’s mobile phone and applied for a small loan of more than 40,000 yuan for cosmetic expenses.

　　The whole operation lasted for several hours, and Ms. Liu kept vomiting after the operation. She found that in addition to the passive knife on her face, she also had injuries on her thighs, and a large piece of meat was missing from her thighs. "It looks terrible, but the dean of the operation said it was all like this."

　　After so many twists and turns, Ms. Liu wanted to be the assistant of General Shen when she recovered. During this time, the company’s people have also kept in touch with Ms. Liu, asking questions. But when she reported to the new company, she was told that Mr. Shen had left.

　　"Shen always told me, I’m sorry, I have a little situation here, and I’m going to leave without pay. He said that if I am on the job, the money for cosmetic surgery can be directly given to you, but I am not on the job, and I still owe a debt myself. I have no choice. "

　　Seeing that the job is going to be yellow, "Manager Shen" said that she can be recommended to another "Manager Yao" in the company.

　　After a while, another general manager came. "He told me directly. It’s not the same with manager Shen here. I can make money here. I can guarantee that you can earn hundreds of dollars a month. But you have to be particularly open. " Ms. Liu further asked, "What does openness mean?" "It’s just that some customers need to accompany them to drink, which is very easy."

　　Ms. Liu refused the company’s request. After knowing it, she felt that she had fallen into a recruitment trap, and the loan of more than 40,000 yuan for cosmetic surgery could only be repaid slowly by herself.

　　(At the request of the interviewee, all the texts are pseudonyms.)

　　Maotanchang Middle School, located in Maotanchang Town, jin an district, Lu ‘an City, is known as "the largest college entrance examination factory in Asia" because tens of thousands of students take the college entrance examination every year, and even attracts foreign attention. Some people say that this is a paradise for repeat students, which allows many people to be admitted to undergraduate courses and fulfill their college dreams; Some people say that this is a prison, and its militarized management has destroyed many people’s youth. After all, it is inevitable to fall into emotional judgment, and it is impossible to outline the true appearance of this school.

　　The reporter of Jinling Evening News interviewed a "witness" who re-read in Maotanchang Middle School in 2006. Trying to restore a more real Maotan factory middle school from his self-report. In the eyes of this "witness", it is neither heaven nor hell, but a large-scale and efficient high school under the current education system. Respect for the wishes of the interviewee, his name is hidden in this article, and the reporter recorded the following content from his perspective. After several years, the "witness" said that some details may be slightly different from the present, so I hereby explain.

　　□ Jinling Evening News reporter Pan Dong

　　My story

　　Repeat for one year, from junior college to "211" university.

　　In 2006, I graduated from a third-rate high school in a town in Lu ‘an City. The teaching in this school was extremely average, and I didn’t work hard enough myself. Of course, my score in the college entrance examination was a mess. I remember that the total score was more than 450 points, while the admission line for this year was 493 points. That is to say, I can only go to a junior college, and I may not be able to fill in a good major. At that time, there were two roads in front of me. One was to stop studying, get a job in the society, and then get married and have children. The other was to repeat studies and go to Maotan Factory Middle School, which has a good reputation.

　　Although I was hesitant, my father insisted on sending me, and finally went to Maotan Factory Middle School in July of that year. One year’s hard work, the content is far more than the past three years, of course, the results are gradually improving. According to my own judgment, it is no problem to be admitted to this second school, and at most it is a university that is behind this one.

　　In June 2007, I took the college entrance examination for the second time, and the result was very ideal, even exceeding expectations &mdash; &mdash; The total score is 582 points, which is more than 30 points more than that of the previous year. There is no problem in getting into a better university. I applied to many universities in Jiangsu, including a "985" university and a "211" university in Nanjing, and was finally admitted to this "211" university.

　　"College Entrance Examination Factory" in My Eyes

　　A small town in the mountains around the school

　　When it comes to Maotanchang Middle School, we have to mention Maotanchang Town where it is located. It is reported that the school is the heart of the town, which is not an exaggeration. Soon after I entered the school, I found that this small town in the mountain is running around the school, in all aspects.

　　Because of the large number of students, school dormitories are far from enough, students, especially repeat students, choose to rent houses outside the school, which has become the biggest means for small town residents to make a living. Originally, they have been farming for generations, or they have gone to work in cities with the tide of work. Although the income is brought by the students, the local residents know that it is the credit of the school, so all aspects cooperate with the school’s work. The landlords of each family have close ties with the school, and sometimes students stay out at night, which can be reflected to the class teacher that night.

　　In addition to renting houses, small restaurants, shops, food markets, barbershops, stationery stores, etc. in the town all revolve around the school, so that in many detailed reports, there is such a scene. During class, the town is empty and there are not many pedestrians on the street, but at lunch or dinner, the town becomes buzzing almost instantly, and the school gate can be described as jostling with each other. The restaurant sells the prepared food to the door, and the students are choosing meals.

　　The most interesting thing is that there are also several Internet cafes in the town, but people who look like students are never allowed to go in. Perhaps this is also a "tacit understanding" between schools and businesses.

　　The gathering of repeat students with moderate grades

　　In 2007, more than 10,000 students from Maotanchang Middle School took part in the college entrance examination. Many people who don’t know the situation are wondering how this high school can recruit so many people. In fact, the main body of the school is not the freshmen, but the repeat students who come from all over the world.

　　I can’t prove it. In the end, from which year, the reputation of Maotan Factory Middle School’s good repetition effect began to spread in the local area. However, judging from the usual monthly exam and the final college entrance examination results, both the number and high scores of repeat students accounted for a large proportion.

　　According to my observation, the school has its own set of standards for repeat students. When I entered school that year, because the first year’s college entrance examination was more than 450 points, I only paid a symbolic fee of several hundred yuan (based on the second score line, five yuan less). If I didn’t meet the minimum score line required by the school, I needed to pay ten thousand yuan for the entrance fee, which was actually to set a threshold for students with low scores.

　　Therefore, the main body of repeat students is a group of students with medium grades. They either have poor foundation or one or two weak subjects. The main reason is poor study habits, and most of them have no self-control, but overall, their talents are not bad.

　　Efficient Training and Saved Mathematics

　　Perhaps readers are curious, how can this school improve the grades of repeat students so much in just one year? At that time, I didn’t know much about its teaching methods. I still remember the words of the head teacher in that year, "Our method is two horizontal and one vertical, dry!" Looking back now, I find that it is an efficient training under the simple truth.

　　In the students’ view, as soon as they entered the middle school, they began to review high school knowledge from the beginning, and a large number of test papers were synchronized. At first, they were extremely uncomfortable, but such training gradually showed results. Take my weakest math as an example. In 2006, I only got more than 80 points in the college entrance examination. I didn’t even pass the exam with a perfect score of 150 points, but I got 121 points in 2007, which has achieved my best level. Careful investigation, in fact, benefited from the full training of each chapter, although only more than 90 points or more than 100 points can be scored, but in the college entrance examination, which attaches importance to the foundation and has a comprehensive assessment, once the foundation of each chapter is integrated, you can get a good total score.

　　Behind the efficient training is the study of the college entrance examination questions. I found that no matter which subject teachers are very familiar with the college entrance examination questions, it should be the result of the joint study of the teaching and research group. It is worth mentioning that although the school has more training than other schools, students are never advised to do difficult problems except for particularly excellent students. Instead, they are trained repeatedly around the basic knowledge of the college entrance examination. A teacher once said, "The college entrance examination is a basic examination, and the topic should be done by most people, so it should be targeted."

　　Militarized management with only half a day off every week

　　Matching with efficient training is militarized management, which is mainly reflected in time management and discipline management. In 2007, when I was at school, I usually began to study by myself at 6:00 in the morning, and had a normal rest during recess, noon and evening. However, most students and children chose to study, some even asked others to buy meals for them, and studied at night until 10:50. Some students had to study a little longer until the classroom was turned off, and after returning to the rented room off campus, the more diligent students had to study for a while.

　　Not only the daily time is strictly managed, but also the weekly and monthly time. When I was at school, I only had a rest on Sunday afternoon for half a day. Most students used it for laundry, shopping and sleeping. At first, I took a monthly exam, and later, I took a weekly exam every Saturday. As for holidays, the school also took a day or two off at most. In short, we should squeeze out as much time as possible to study.

　　Discipline management is also very strict. It is common for the class teacher to find out about the decline in weekly and monthly exam results. If the behavior is not good for a period of time, it will inevitably be found to talk. If it is more serious, parents will be called and students will be expelled under special circumstances. Like many other high schools, the head teacher often looks inside the classroom during self-study. The most memorable thing is that there is a monitor on the roof above the podium of each classroom, which the head teacher occasionally uses. Love can’t be absolutely absent, but it’s really difficult in practice. I stay at school most of the time and have no time and space.

　　Teachers with high pay and return.

　　When it comes to Maotan Factory Middle School, I have to mention the teachers of the school. To be honest, compared with the teachers in the city, they are not particularly excellent. As far as I know, the way for schools to recruit teachers is usually a written test plus an interview. The written test is the college entrance examination paper of that year, and the interview is to have a class in the classroom. The final selection is all adapted to the school teaching model, which also explains why many former students return to school to teach after graduating from college. My head teacher was that year.

　　But the efforts of this group of teachers are absolutely incomparable to those of many teachers in the city. Students usually get up at 5:30 and read early at 6: 00, so the teacher must get to the classroom earlier and get up earlier. Students study by themselves at night until 10:50, and the teacher must wait for all the students to leave, which means going to bed later. In addition, students’ high-intensity test paper training also brings more correction work and explanation tasks to teachers.

　　High pay also has high return. As far as I know, the salary of school teachers is much higher than that of teachers in similar schools. As early as 2007, the income of ordinary teachers was six or seven thousand yuan, and the head teacher may be higher. After the college entrance examination, the school will also give bonuses to teachers according to the results of the class college entrance examination. For example, there are clear regulations on how much a book costs and how much a book costs.

　　In addition, the welfare is also quite good. In the mountains deep in the school, teachers are provided with housing, clothes will be distributed every year, free meals will be eaten in the school cafeteria, and teachers will be organized to travel abroad after the college entrance examination. I heard privately in 2007 that teachers have found it boring to go to Xinmatai and want to go to Europe.

　　Difficulties and superstitions of accompanying parents

　　Finally, I have to talk about a unique phenomenon in this school &mdash; &mdash; Accompany reading. Like Mao Zhong, it is suitable for repeating classes. Somehow, parents feel that accompanying students is beneficial for their children to achieve better grades. Objectively speaking, children can really save more time to study when parents accompany them to do laundry and cook for them, but parents accompanying them also bring invisible pressure to their children.

　　On the other hand, it is still very difficult for most parents to accompany them. Most of them come from the surrounding towns and villages. Originally, the husband and wife worked together to earn money. In order to accompany their children, the financial burden of the whole family fell on one person. It is not cheap to rent a small house in Maotan Factory. It used to be hundreds of yuan to more than a thousand yuan a month, but now it is rising even higher, and there are rising prices every year. The accompanying party has to arrange the children’s lives with limited money and bear great psychological pressure. Of course, with the expansion of the school’s reputation, more and more urban children come to repeat their studies, and parents come to accompany them, followed by the square dance and mahjong room.

　　In external reports, it is often mentioned that the so-called sacred tree in the school is "worshipped" by accompanying parents. This kind of superstition does exist. This tree is near the right wall in the school. Two years ago, I saw with my own eyes that there was a pile of ash more than one meter high on the wall outside the school, all of which were accumulated by superstitious parents burning incense. Behind it, it was just a psychological comfort.

　　The Future of "College Entrance Examination Factory"

　　Extend downward and run a branch school &hellip; &hellip; Copy the mode of running a school

　　In recent years, every time the media reports on Maotan Factory Middle School, they pay attention to its grand entrance examination, and sometimes look back on its college entrance examination resume, with little or no mention of where such a huge school will go.

　　I think that as long as the current examination system continues, this school, which can enable more students to realize their college dreams, will have the soil for existence. What has to be considered is that in recent years, the only-child generation has been attending high school, and the number of students is indeed decreasing. Moreover, because of the current situation of difficult employment, parents are no longer satisfied with the result of spending money and time to finally enter a second-year college.

　　The number of repeat students is shrinking, and the school has not only discovered it, but also begun to plan the future. As far as I know, in recent years, what Maotan Factory Middle School is doing is to copy its own school-running model. There are probably two ways. One is to extend to junior high schools and primary schools. For example, a private school from primary school to high school in another county was successfully acquired by it and sent management to settle in; The second is to run a branch school. Like the third-rate high school where I am located, the brand of Maotanchang Middle School Branch has been hung up, and the results of the college entrance examination have been getting better and better in recent years.

　　Some people applaud this kind of replication, thinking that it is to let more students enjoy high-quality educational resources, while others worry that it may lead to the homogenization of schools in the region. However, under the background of exam-taking, this is probably a false proposition, and no one can come up with a convincing conclusion.

　　In short, Mao Zhong was "demonized" by many people outside. It’s really hard to study there, but it’s not "abused" to the point of abnormal condition. Maozhong is just a place where the "routine" of the college entrance examination is thoroughly understood. Therefore, instead of saying "magic" in Mao, it is better to reflect on the college entrance examination system, which can be dismantled one by one by people and dealt with in a modular way.
