Week 9 -- Junying Ye

Through the reading, we can find out that sometime rebrand nation brands were not real, and they were just coverup. For example, over the past thirty years, the United States has denied that hundreds of thousands of deformed children in Vietnam were related to the orange agent they had sown and refused to pay compensation. But as the United States and Vietnam became closer to the South China Sea, the U.S. government made some changes.In June 2011, the US input about 320 billion dollars for cleaning up the central city of Da Nang a had a large pile of airport and surrounding area agent orange. One months later, three US warships arrived in Da Nang and Vietnam Navy conducted joint military exercises, the two countries dispute about agent orange was temporarily put aside. Political interests can change at any moment, but for every minute of the suffering of the children, their fate has no escape from the pain of opportunity, like a never see the dark world of light. Another example, Vietnam's business dealings are very personal. For Vietnamese people, it's absolutely good for them to think of themselves, and they can even be the key to success. The Vietnamese are happy to meet new people, but never have business contacts with strangers. Do business in Vietnam, the interpersonal relationship is very important, no popularity will can't do anything. They were bound with the same people, and the business circle was very narrow. In the circle, everyone knew each other, many of them were blood relatives or marriage relatives. In addition, the businessman should actively develop the relationship with the local authorities, and the credibility of government officials is higher. The promised policies and treatment can be well implemented. Because the government has the right to control most of the commercial transactions in the country, the popularity of the government is particularly favorable. Coupled with Vietnam, changing government regulations inconstant in policy, the staff authority often position than they give much more. Vietnamese pay great attention to courtesy exchanges, whether it is the government departments or partners, dealers who have an important relationship with your business. You need to make friends with them, and you must walk around on holidays.
