Chapter 4390: The Knowledge of Treating Guests

And the seating arrangement of the jeep is different. Whether the host drives or the driver drives, the front right seat should be the respected one, the back right side is the second, and the back left side is the last seat.

Also, when receiving group guests, vans are often used to pick up and drop off guests. For vans, the first row behind the driver's seat, that is, the front row, is the respected one, and the back rows are smaller in order. The respect of the seats decreases from the right side of each row to the left side...

Eating, everyone can do it, it is just putting food into the mouth. But as a social person, eating is often a group behavior, which makes simple eating not so simple. Especially when eating is no longer for the purpose of satisfying physiological needs, eating is simply a rather complicated thing. Today, let's talk about the etiquette of this complicated public (business) banquet.

In previous years, some "famous quotes" that had been tampered with circulated in society, one of which left a very deep impression on me: "Revolution is treating guests to dinner." We will not delve into the emotional things that the tamperer wants to express here, but this sentence reflects to a large extent the importance of banquets in modern social interaction. Later, when talking about this topic with a friend who is in business, this friend had even more experience. He said: "For people who are officials, eating is simply too important. Because there is a purpose, how to eat is no longer a simple thing. Abalone is fine, bird's nest is fine, all have become a communication tool or a prop. How to play the role of these props, there is a lot of knowledge in it."

Indeed, in these occasions, just like what kind of clothes to wear, what kind of car to sit in, what kind of office building to rent, where to eat and what to eat are also important signs to convey information such as identity, status, and sincerity. In addition, including invitations, welcoming and sending off, seating, how to order dishes, how to toast, the timing of discussing things at the banquet, etc., may all be key factors affecting the success or failure of the purpose. Therefore, a banquet is like performing a play. When to open the curtain, when to reach the climax, when to close the curtain, and how to play one's role well in this process, there is a lot of knowledge. ===== CHAPTER 4391 =====
