How to do business with your potential partners. China(Part II)

Bring business cards. The Chinese have begun to use them. Have one side printed in Chinese. Remember that punctuality is very important. When you receive someone’s business card, remember that the first name on the card is the family name. When doing business and meeting someone for the first time, address the person by professional title plus family name. When entering a business meeting with a group, come in led by the highest-ranking person in your group. At the end of the meeting, leave before the Chinese. Expect most of the conversation to be between the senior Chinese and the senior foreign team members. If other members of your group interrupt, the Chinese will be shocked. Suggest to subordinate members of your own team that they raise hands if they wish to speak. Note that business meetings often start with conversations about a neutral topic such as the weather. When you deal with Chinese organizations, be prepared for them to supply an interpreter. Be sure to use short, simple sentences, and pause to make sure your exact words are understood. Avoid slang or Western business jargon. If possible, bring your own interpreter. A professional interpreter will help you to understand the nuances of the discussion.

In preparing your proposal, make it objective and factual, telling why you and your firm are the best choice. Don’t exaggerate your ability to deliver, because the Chinese check such claims. When you arrive in China, have at least 20 copies of the proposal available for distribution to the organization and its factories. Prepare to present your material to many different groups at different levels. It’s difficult to identify the person who makes the actual decision, so it’s important to treat everyone with equal respect. Show patience and tolerance for the Chinese method of doing business, which is to develop and then maintain a relationship. It may take years to develop a good relationship of cooperation between your foreign firm and the Chinese bureaucracy. Remember also the Chinese make no important decisions without first consulting the stars for a lucky day.

Expect the Chinese to be excellent hosts, the hospitality is part of their negotiating strategy. They drive a hard bargain on prices. Sometimes, when you think you have reached an agreement on financial terms, they will want to reopen the issue of prices.
