Greyfriars Bobbyby Eleanor AtkinsonI.When the time-gun boomed from Edinburgh Castle, Bobby gave a startled yelp. He was only a little country dogthe very youngest and smallest and shaggiest of Skye terriers-bred on a heathery slope of the Pentland hills, where the loudest sound was the bark of a collie or the tinkle of a sheep-bell. That morning he had come to the weekly market with Auld Jock, a farm laborer, and the Grassmarket of the Scottish capital lay in the narrow valley at the southern b
第二卷 1 第十五章 恩威并施 第十五章 恩威并施 回头打量了一眼那些被元兆飞屠戮的乾帮中剩余的弟子,这些人一个个面露悲愤之色,看来是死不瞑目了。但这又与我何干呢?毕竟不是我下的手,对于这些人的死我心中没有丝毫的不安。只是这些人死态不雅的摆放在这里多少是影响了一些我的心情的。 挥动了一下手中的战刀,一团紫色的火焰忽然凭空升起。火焰旋转着从乾帮弟子的尸体上缓慢划过,而地上的尸体在火焰划过之后忽然都凭空消失了。其实也不能说是凭空消失的,这些尸体只不过是被我的紫霞罡气化成的紫色阴极火焰给彻底的分解成了空气中的微尘颗粒罢了。看来这招从那个精卫手里学来的“烈日炎炎”用紫霞真元转化成紫霞罡气来施展还真是一个毁尸灭迹的好手段啊。...

“赶超世界先进水平”作为一种口号在中国已流行了很长一段时间。然而到底如何赶超,很少有人具体探讨。我很高兴地看到我在香港中文大学执教时的两位高徒孙黎和曹声容写了这本以标杆战略为主题的书填补了中国管理界的一个重要的空白。《长大的鞋子》站得高,看得远,立意新颖,资料丰富,文笔生动。从人穿鞋子需要不断更新合脚的鞋子这一简单的观察入手,点出了公司成长,其战略管理系统也需不断吐故纳新的深奥的道理。通读全书,我感受最深的有两点。第一,导言部分的德隆和三九等企业惨败的案例令人深思。GE是世界级企业中的楷模。以GE为标杆不可谓目标不远大,然而殊不知很多欧美企业都已放弃了对GE多元化经营的学习,而埋头专心在某些领域做强做好。羽翼未丰的中国企业崇拜GE是可以理解的。改动一句古诗,“不知庐山真面目,只因身在此山外”,可点出这种问题的焦点。只盲目模仿GE多元化经营的表面现象而不理解GE背后支撑其多元...
