A method and apparatus advanced leadership training simulation wherein the simulation teaches skills in leadership and related topics through an Internet-based distance-learning architecture. The distance-learning features link trainees at remote locations into a single collaborative experience via computer networks. Instructional storylines are created and programmed into a computer and then delivered as a simulated but realistic story to one or more participants. The participants' reactions are monitored and compared with expected results. The storyline may be altered in response to the participants' responses and synthetic characters may be generated to act as automated participants or coaches. Constructive feedback is provided to the participants during or after the simulation.

The invention relates to a metal material electronic trading system with trade clicking function, aiming to solve the technical problem of providing a secure and convenient metal material electronic trading method. The method comprises the following steps: the buyer and the seller register on a trading platform and are listed to apply for trades, the trading system clicks the trades according to the demands of the buyer and generates electronic orders, and then the trading platform sends a command to the B2B platform of a franchised bank to complete appropriation of money for goods and defrosting of goods and sends a command to a digital storage system of a franchised storehouse to complete change of real right of the goods, thus finally closing the trades. Through the above trade flows, the buyer and the seller have no need for examining the specific conditions of the other party or costing lots of time to carry out business negotiation, but can know the actual inventory condition of the metal materials needing to be purchased at any time and securely, conveniently and quickly close the trades only by determining clicking on the electronic trading platform according to the demands. The system omits most work before trading, effectively ensures trade quality, lowers the trade cost and increases the trading efficiency.
