What do you want for a gift?

Hi, Everyone,

I'm confused by a question, I hope you will help me out.

As a foreinger to China, what do you want for a gift?

I've been facing this problem for long time, whenever I departed my foreign friends, I wanted to give them a reeeeeeeeeeally impressive gift. But I almost never succeeded in it. So, What is your suggestion?

Doing Business with China

It is a popular topic, it is a headache topic.

As a Chinese, I've heard a lot of story about a foreigner scammed by the Chinese. Here is some expamle for the biginners doing business with China.

Somebody invites you to fly to their company to sign a big contract, they don't argue so much about the price. The deal is too good to be real. Then they will tell you, if you want to finish the contract, you have to bribe the manager, which will cost you a lot, maybe $500. Yeah, compared with the contract amount, the bribery is nothing. But after you give them the money, they disappear. You will never find them again.

In fact, their names are fake, their office room are rented, and every other things are fake.

If you go to the police, you know, it is only $500, they are reluctant to take the trouble to find the liars. And please remember, there are more than 1.3 billion people in China, how could you find them?

So, if you are freshman dealing with Chinese, it is almost the best choice for you to choose a reliable Chinese Partner at the beginning.
