with translators for years in my capacity as a journalist, making regular
forays into non-English speaking countries in Asia and the Middle East, I
thought I knew something about making myself understood through
interpreters. But after attending Mr Guppy’s workshop, I now wonder if I was
ever fully understood by any of my interviewees. “ Dennis Schultz,

DOING BUSINESS @ LUNCH WITH CHINA
Half day
luncheon event designed for mid-level business lunches. Northern Chinese
expectations are very different from eating in Hong Kong and Southern China.
This is an entertaining event also suitable for spouses.
After arriving
in China for the first time, you are for lunch or dinner, sitting around the
big round table in a separate room of a restaurant with a group of Chinese
and you smile at each other, absolutely not knowing what to do and how to
behave.
Do you want
the answers of following questions?
-
Where you
should sit if you are a guest or a host?
-
When and
How you have a toast?
-
Who should
start to eat?
-
What are
the table manners on Chopsticks?
-
What’s
different between Chinese formal banquet, a business dinner and normal
meal?
-
To Eat up
or not?
-
What
should I say or do when Chinese slurp and sip?
-
Who should
pay the bill?
People are
very familiar with southern China and Hong Kong eating habits. How much do
you know about Dining Etiquette in Beijing and Northern China?
The structure of a meal in Beijing and Northern China is very different!
We work with
your restaurant of your choice to prepare the north Chinese menu and
presentation.
“The feedback received
from all participants was that this event was not only entertaining but
highly educational and they were able to take away ideas and concepts that
will help them and their business growth in China.” Lisa O’Donoghue

"I first worked with Daryl Guppy in 2007 when I was Chief
Executive of the Department of Primary Industry, Fisheries and Mines as we
embarked on a program to attract Chinese interest and investment to the
Northern Territory. Daryl’s extensive business experience in China and deep
personal interest in all the facets that make up doing business there were
invaluable in assisting us to develop our program. Of particular value was
Daryl’s ability to build on his knowledge of Australian business practice
and teach us the skills necessary to produce results in China. The ultimate
success of the program was significantly assisted by Daryl’s input."
