We had a business
development lecture today. I learnt that E-commerce means to do business
online. Also, I learnt that there is an annual business fair held in Guangzhou
called the Canton Fair where businessmen from all around the world come
together and make business deals. China also has the largest economy in world,
with the USA being the first largest. It’s such an irony that USA has the
largest economy as I have read somewhere that USA owes China USD$1 trillion!!
We were also taught about business etiquette. For example, if you are meeting a
person for the first time for business you have to shake their hand at least 3
times, greet them and give an impression that you are glad to meet them. When
giving your business card, the card must be professional looking, given with 2
hands facing the receiver and if you are the one receiving the card, always
read the card as courtesy and also to know how to address the person you just
met. The Chinese especially are very particular about how they are addressed.
Later on, the Dean of the Foreign Language School came in to give us our
certificates as a token to acknowledge that we have taken part in the Chines
Culture IS module. The certificate was really nice and fancy looking.
