选项
答案 (For three candidates)
A: Our American guests are arriving at the weekend for two days. We should try our best to entertain them, so what types of activities should be included during their stay?
B: Well, I think if guests like elegant arts, we can arrange an orchestra performance, a ballet show, a concert and so on.
C: I get what you mean. In other words, we should know guests’ interest at first. In this way, we can meet their needs. For those who like sport, we can entertain them by watching on-site basketball and football games. We can also take them to gymnasium if they like. Do you agree with me?
A: That’s quite a good idea. But remember not to talk about business with our clients when doing sports. It may ruin their mood.
B: That’s absolutely true. After all kind of activities, we can have a formal dinner.
C: Great! They may have a good appetite after exercise. By the way, what cultural differences do you think need to be considered?
A: I think American people are communicative and energetic, so we can take them to do some animated activity, just like going bowling, playing golf, and so on.
B: Yeah, as we know they also like dancing and singing. We can also take them to a music bar or a ballroom.
C: I can’t agree with you more. We should consider their eating habits too. They may don’t accustom themselves to Chinese food. So offering them Western food may be better.
A: No, I don’t agree. It’s a chance for us to introduce traditional Chinese food to them. We may have a try.
B: So much for this item. Now let’s come to the key issue of how much we can spend.
C: I think this issue is not so essential. It depends on the size of the deal.
A: Not really. You should take a long-term view. Maybe they just have a small deal with us, but we can’t say they won’t make the biggest one next time.
B: I share your view on that. It is important to leave them a good first impression on our company, so we should spare no efforts to achieve this goal.
C: OK, I think I need a second thought about this idea.
Follow-on questions
- Yes, I think it is of considerable significance, because it helps to maintain the corporate business stable and save the cost to look for new clients.
- From my point of view, the best way is to try to know the interests of the guest and meet his needs at the maximal level.
- The biggest problem I can expect is "culture shock" and the possible misunderstanding and displeasure which may occur.
- Well, it depends on the importance of the clients and what I may be asked to accompany them to do. If they are important customers, and they are going to do something relevant to the business, I think I would like to accompany them.
- Places that can display the characteristics of Chinese culture and the city where the company is located are most appropriate.
