Read the emails then answer the question!
Hi Dominic,
Good to see you briefly the other day. Forgot to tell you I’m going out to China next week. Just wondered what to expect. I know you have experience doing business there. Don’t want to put my foot in it with potential business partners. Could you let me know anything I should be particularly aware of?
Thanks
Paul
Dominic’s reply:
Hi Paul
Glad to hear you are going out to China. I think you’ll enjoy it. Not Shanghai, is it? Let me know maybe I can fix you up with couples of contacts. Anyway, my advice:
-Take plenty of business cards- Chinese people always give you theirs (make sure read them carefully). It’s embarrassing if you don’t have one in return.
-Keep the name and address of your hotel with you when you go out. Visitors are always getting into trouble because they can’t remember where they are staying.
-The Chinese love their food and are very proud of it. They’ll offer you some unusual dishes. Just be adventurous and be grateful.
Good luck and speak soon.
Dominic
