Business meeting and stuffs with Chinese folks in San Fran. Super nervous because I know how complex the Chinese culture is, and it's nothing I have any perspective on. What is some solid advice for communicating to Chinese businessmen and women?
Any tips for communicating with the Chinese?

Most Asian/Chinese people I have dealt with are cheap as fuck, so I talk to them on their level, repeat myself twice and ask dumb questions, to clarify, I mean FOB ones only, never dealt with educated ones, oh wait I did, the doctors office, when I was sick, some of the Asian doctors I dealt with were fucking stupid as fuck, anyways good luck.
that's my 2cents.

I only know the Chinese people who work the corner stores I go to wherever I am.
The key to winning them over is buying shit from them every day for 2 months. They'll really like you then - to the point of giving you more than exact change when thy don't want to count out 23 cents [and just give me the quarter]. That's how you know you've earned the pinnacle of their respect.

Make jokes about our culture, we love that.
Also, squint your eyes and do your best impersonation of a Chinese person. That always brings a smile to our little round faces.

Learn a few phrases that they use and use them at appropriate times. But make it know that you do not know a lot of Chinese but are willing to take an interest in them/their culture.
