QuestionerQuestioner:06-25 09:50
Our company does business with foreigners and we have a lot of foreign clients. Today a foreign ship owner is coming to our company for inspection and my boss asked me to pick him up. It is said that foreigners always bring small gifts when they meet someone. What should I bring him?
Best answer

Hello, foreigners are very particular about etiquette, and the other party is your customer, you must get along with each other in a friendly manner. When you meet for the first time, in order to make the other party have a good impression of you, it is necessary to give gifts. Foreigners are generally very interested in Chinese tea and ceramics, which can also represent Chinese culture.

You can give something with Chinese characteristics, such as Chinese knots, Chinese silk scarves, and Chinese calligraphy and paintings. In addition, if your foreign customers are interested in Chinese culture, you can give him a book introducing Chinese culture, of course in Chinese and English, so that he can learn about Chinese history when he is free, which should be a good thing. Foreigners don’t care much about the value of gifts. When you give gifts, they will open them in person and express their gratitude.
