English

After an agreement has been reached in business talks, what sort of things can we do? The first and most important thing, of course, is you can celebrate. For instance, the final stages of negotiations are usually very exciting and stressful. Negotiations can run till 1 or 2 in the morning before being concluded. So when it’s over, everyone, or the staff, will bring out the champagnes that have been prepared. After that, if the circumstances permit, the negotiating teams from both sides can change into banquet attire. Initially, we were in favor of giving everyone some Chinese style traditional costumes to add to the atmosphere. However, these days China is following a more international practice, and so for banquets and celebrations the attire for men is usually a suit and for woman a formal evening gown. Champagne is relatively light but still has a kind of richness to it. When everyone touches glasses for a toast it brings a cheering up feeling for a while. This is the first step. After everything starts to wind down, the most important part of the so called follow-up is concerned with the contract and the issue of carrying out in each phase. This is because during the contract negotiations, even though it is very detailed, especially about control of certain milestones, it is still just a plan. A plan cannot always keep up with changes. During the process of carrying out our plan, it is highly possible that we will be influenced by weather conditions. In the event of unavoidable things like this, it’s possible that we will just have to work according to the reality of the situation and make some revisions to our timetable. Or in terms of manpower, physical resources, and allocation of resources, there may also be some minor changes. For all this you need a project manager, as well as the workers on both sides taking a coordinated step forward. In general, you must guarantee that everything is carried out for each milestone along the way all the way till the end…till the whole job is done. Generally speaking, most situations are this way.
