Efficiency of China's National Day, and business cards

Shanghai Bank (Norman Foster) by FHKE
This morning I had to go to pay the deposit for the rent to Chinese bank, banks who usually work from 9 to 17. Trovatomi front of the bank at 8:55 I found myself in front of a row of almost 30 people expectant opening of the bank, which took place promptly at 9. I thought, if we were in Italy, here we would have to wait at least 2 hours, since we are in China, where everything is (alas ?!!!) more efficient, it will take me half an hour. In reality, it took me 5 minutes ... In Italy over 10 branches is fat if they are open 2 or 3 in China, a small branch on the whole, there were 5 and all 5 are open, including the one with the "spekaing Inglese service" for foreigners, and guard prepared to help in the compilation of paper in China, where I did not understand where to enter the data! This is China! Despite the help, and not to lose "face" in front of the "other" people, will do anything.

I print my business cards with the seal of the Consulate, to be produced strictly at every public meeting. Exchanging business cards is essential and indispensable in every match. When two people (politicians, diplomats, business colleagues, present and future) are encountered, they can not exchange a note, strictly to be presented with two hands and bowed his head slightly in approval. Before handing it to be taken with both hands for a few seconds to give another way to read your status, after which it is immancambile xièxiè , thanksgiving. Do not forget that when a Chinese speaks English, but speaks like shit, you say, 'Your Inglese is very very good "as a sign of approval, it is the impairment of future relationships or not, partly because, basically, the Chinese also in meetings with foreigners only speak Chinese.
