Source favicon23:50 投诉你是投资你 » 刘润

自己接触客户久了,就会深刻理解做乙方的不易。所以将心比心,我一般不轻易投诉服务人员,善待他们就像善待自己。但即便这样,我还是有几次投诉的经历。

一次是投诉舒适堡健身俱乐部。我拿着员工俱乐部发放的健身券来到舒适堡前台。前台小姐看了一眼券,然后很轻蔑的看着我说“假的”,仿佛看着一个小偷。我很惊讶,这怎么可能?这是员工俱乐部在舒适堡团购的啊。然而更超过惊讶的感情是气愤。即便这张票是假的,也不能不分青红皂白的就把我当骗子看啊。我选择了投诉。经理打回电向我道歉。我说你们的健身券在外面可以买卖却没有防伪措施,已经给我作为一名客户造成了巨大不便。这个时候,作为服务人员更应该注重云里雾里的客户的感受,而不是把所有人当骗子看。有假票是损失今天的钱,忙乱中伤害客户更是损失明天的钱。我说,我愿意花15分钟投诉你,是因为我还是你的客户。

一次是投诉南京禄口国际机场。我从南京机场下飞机出来打车,司机问了问我去哪里后,说不去。我很惊讶?机场排队出租车也可以拒载?我又问了后面两辆车都说不去。一个司机说去,但是让我先在车里等着,等够了四个人拼车。我去找机场出租车管理员,管理员说“那你就拼车呗。”我选择投诉。服务小姐说我代表管理员向你道歉。我说我不需要道歉,我只想知道这件事情你们打算怎么解决。机场是一个城市的重要窗口,给很多来到南京游客第一印象的就是机场。这种不规范的第一印象很不正面。你向我道歉就能改变每天上万人对南京的观感吗?我说,我投诉,是因为我还在乎,我是南京人。

一次是昨天投诉中国建设银行。我在建行取了个排队号,前面有36个人。我看了一下,7个柜台有4个开放。这次让我惊讶的是,建设银行在36人排队的情况下,不但不增加开放柜台,居然又关了2个,仅仅留2个柜台接待。我选择投诉,拨打了贴在墙上的电话。电话里向我推销了一堆东西后,说投诉请按8。我按了,无人接听,1分53秒后,电话切断。我坚持不懈的拨了95533继续投诉。一会儿,这家分理处的经理回电给我,说,你不用排队了,直接来找我办理,实在对不起。我是36个排队的人中的最后一个,这样处理对其他人公平吗?我问,你可不可以告诉我,多长的客户排队时间是你们建设银行认为可以接受的时间?我投诉你,是投资你。第二天我重新去排队办完了事情。我注意到,墙上的投诉电话已经给刮得干干静静。看来,建设银行不需要投资。

I never travel before the Chinese New Year on International (Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau) flight. :-) International (Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau) is the standard term to discribe the type of flights in China. Although flight from Hong Kong is not international flight, passengers follow the same procedures as International flight. That is the reason it is quoted that way. Every Spring Festival, transportation within China is a big problem, but I never imagine that international (T/H/M) flights are the same. Besides me are two...

Source favicon14:48 This is a disgrace, but the disgrace is not Google's » Danwei RSS 1.0

Ignorance about China, xenophobia and sour grapes about Google's success: this is the cocktail that fuels the "boycott Google" crowd. If you want a sip of the poisonous cocktail, go to the comments section of this post on the US hawk blog Little Green Footballs: Google will pass the global test (warning: it's not pretty).

Judging from the comments of this post, and from other blogs as well as newspaper articles, people outside of China do not really understand what has happened:

The international version of Google is still accessible in China (in simplified and traditional Chinese versions). Google has not censored the Internet. All they have done is to ensure that the Google engine hosted on Chinese territories complies with the Chinese government's demands. Chinese Google users are still free to go to international Google sites if they want unfiltered results. There is no reduction in the amount or type of information available on the Internet in China.

The anti-Google rage is misdirected. The point is eloquently made by a Chinese blogger at Gfans.org, roughly translated below:

Google China quietly went online, using the domain name Google.cn. At the bottom of the web page is a link to [Chinese government issued] ICP licence.

There are some changes to the navigation bar: 'News' has been renamed 'Information' (no News Permit?), "Groups" has been removed (No BBS licence?), and there's an extra search option to search only 'China Websites' (which eliminates websites blocked by the Great Firewall?).



I did a search on [human rights lawyer] Ye Ning's name. At the bottom of the page was the message saying 'To comply with local laws, regulations and policies, some search results are not displayed'...



...Gfans have started complaining, "this is a disgrace for Google". This is definitely a disgace, but the disgrace is not Google's.

Here are some related links pinched from Imagethief, whose own post is In praise of Google in China, well worth reading:

Source favicon12:12 Watching NBA Games on Google Video » Official Google Blog


I first started following basketball during the era of Michael, Magic, and Larry, arguably three of the top 10 NBA players of all time. Two remarkable games a few days ago reminded me that while these three mega-stars may no longer step onto the hardwood, a new generation of players continues to make history and excitement for fans everywhere.

Last Sunday, with 81 points, Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to a 122-104 victory over Toronto. Eighty-one. That’s the second highest scoring total in NBA history, only behind Wilt’s famous 100 point game. Even Michael’s career high was only (only!) 69. It is so physically and mentally draining carrying such a heavy scoring load, especially when the opposing team is completely geared to stopping you. Despite this, Kobe still shot over 60 percent from the field, making 28 of 46 shots.

And the same night, in a game that was a throwback to the days when defense was light and scoring was high, the Sonics beat the Suns 152-149 in double overtime. (For comparison, the average number of points by other winning teams that night was only 101). Steve Nash, last season’s MVP (and the early front runner for MVP again), scored 28, had 16 assists and 8 rebounds. Ray Allen, despite a slow start, finished furiously, making 8 of 10 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and overtime.

When people say, “Wow, Kobe scored 81?” or “Nash went for 20+ points and 15+ assists… again!” – now you (and I!) can reply, “Yep – just caught it on Google Video.” So come watch the greatest players today play some of the greatest games ever.

Source favicon10:06 转山仙乃日(三) » 生活要简单、轻松、愉悦、幸福···
进入另一个山谷,继续一路下坡。植被突然好起来,漫山遍野的金黄,秋意正浓。云雾飘忽期间,雪山若隐若现,煞是好看。一路下坡虽然好,但下坡容易上坡难,万一最后还要翻山口,那现在下得越多呆会儿就会越惨。
    果然,好日子很快就到头了,我们又要艰难地往上爬,似乎总也走不完的路延伸到茫茫的云雾中,看不见尽头。铁布只是说快到了,快到了,翻过去就快到了。但是,究竟还有多远呢,到底还有多少坡要爬呢?
    我们一行人互相也落了好远,互相都看不见。独自在云雾中穿行,眼中没有景致,心中也什么都不想,就这样麻木地一步步往前走。体力消耗地很厉害,太累了,真想一屁股坐下去歇个够,再也不起来。但自己也知道,休息时间越长,惰性就滋长得越快,所以每每稍息片刻,就又强迫自己站起身继续前行。
    渐渐地云雾散去,眼前豁然出现一列高大的山峰。难道那是我们的必经之路,难道我们还必须翻越它吗?我突然带着一丝绝望搜寻着周围,奢望找到位置更低的垭口,但是却一无所获。我很难想象已经近乎筋疲力尽的我们还要翻越这样高的一座山,而且是在这样的海拔。如果把这个差不多三百米高的山口放到北京,我可以很轻松地花上十几分钟一溜小跑把它拿下,但此时此刻,我却始终不相信这样的事实,直到得到铁布的证实之后,我才真正完全确信我们已经别无选择,我们只能靠自己的双腿,凭强弩之末势也必须要穿透鲁缟。
    已经四点多了,事不疑迟,我们鼓足余勇向着最后的难关发起冲击。在这5000米左右的海拔高度,我几乎每十步就要休息一次。几公斤重的摄影器材仿佛巨石般死死勒在肩膀上,虽不怎么缺氧,但胸口却特别闷。我已经不能挺直着腰行走,身体强烈地前倾,双手撑在膝盖上,酸痛不堪的双腿一步一步缓慢地向前迈。大脑中空空的,什么都不想,近乎麻木地低着头望着地面。每走完十步就象完成了多么艰巨的任务一样,迫不及待地坐在地上休息,为下一个艰难的十步积蓄力量。我很强烈地感觉到每走完十步我就将迎来一个无比幸福的时刻但同时一个无比痛苦的时刻也将紧跟着来临。我张大了口急促地喘着粗气,一点一点地向着那个看似近在咫尺却又无比遥远的垭口靠近。
    或许,这是我以最慢的速度走过的最艰难的一段路程。终于,在经过40分钟痛苦的煎熬之后,眼前飘扬的经幡告诉我已经站在了自己有生以来到过的最高的地方。我已经战胜了转山途中最大的也是最后一个困难,剩下的路程就是一路下山直杀奔终点冲古寺。
    下山始终是我的最爱,每每给我酣畅淋漓的感觉。我不断地加快速度,兴头上来的时候还蹦蹦跳跳,刹不住脚地小跑一阵儿。而垭口这边的山谷景致也突然有了很大的变化,与山口那边寸草不生的荒凉相比,这边却林木茂密,溪流潺潺。人的心情也格外舒畅,禁不住吼两嗓子充一把豪迈,美声、民族、通俗全上。山谷里天色渐渐暗了下去,后面的同伴还没有跟上来,我一个人走在着寂静幽深的山谷里,耳畔回荡着自己的歌声、潺潺的流水声、以及偶尔从远处传来的仙乃日雪崩的轰鸣声,伴随着我一路前行。
    五点半,到达距离冲古寺很近的珍珠海,十个小时的转山路程只剩下最后十分钟。回首仙乃日,雪峰傲然矗立,此处是欣赏仙乃日的最佳地点了。但天气不好,只能期盼第二天能够看到日出。
    五点五十分,我终于又站在了冲古寺前平坦的草甸上。一切都还象昨天一样,而我,通过自己的努力,已经实现了心中一个虔诚的心愿和梦想。
    第二天黎明,天空晴朗,明月高悬。以最快的速度从冲古寺爬到珍珠海,气喘吁吁地支起三脚架,上好相机,等待那激动人心的一刻。
    或许是神山对前一天我们付出的努力的回报,
很快,清晨的第一抹阳光照亮了仙乃日顶峰。
    日出的阳光瞬息万变,云雾在雪峰周围流动,变化多端。每一个瞬间都有独特的光彩,充满着无穷的魅力,都是如此的激动人心。光线和云雾的每一个变化都使我情不自禁地按下快门。在短短的半小时内,我看到了神山无数不同的尊容,当然,也伴随着狂按快门的快感。清澈的湖水好象一面滤镜,神山的倒影反倒更加清晰,色彩也更加绚丽。或许照片还不能如实地还原彼时彼地,用犹入仙境来形容当不为过。
    我想,即使是仙境,也不过如此吧!
