| A country culture can exist everywhere, right? |
| Whether it's in a wedding, a funeral, or businesses. |
| In this video today, I'm gonna share with you some common culture in businesses |
| so that you know when you have a business with a Vietnamese person, |
| what we should notice and what we should not notice, okay? |
| Hello everyone, my name is Linh. |
| Welcome back to vietnamespod101.com, |
| the fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Vietnamese. |
| And let's get started. |
| Gửi thư mời và tài liệu cần chuẩn bị trước buổi học. |
| Meaning sending an invitation and document needed before the meeting. |
| Nowadays, every time we have a meeting or a training, a presentation or something, |
| we will send all the materials or document needed to the people that we invited. |
| Also, it's very very important to set a time and date, right? |
| So I think it's common everywhere. |
| Gửi thư mời và tài liệu cần chuẩn bị trước buổi học, okay? |
| Number two or the second rule, which is |
| có mặt đúng giờ của buổi học means be on time, okay? |
| Every time you have a meeting or an appointment, |
| especially a business appointment, please be on time. |
| There is a word for Vietnamese people which is cao su, giờ cao su. |
| Giờ cao su means like you're always late or you're always delaying the time or something. |
| So this is like a very bad habit of some Vietnamese people, |
| but when it comes to business meetings, it has to be on time. |
| So có mặt đúng giờ của buổi học. |
| chuẩn bị đồ ăn nhẹ cho buổi học |
| meaning to prepare some snacks for the meeting or for the appointments. |
| When it comes to long meetings, especially trainings, |
| it's better for the participants if we can prepare some snacks or some water for them, okay? |
| So don't forget to chuẩn bị đồ ăn nhẹ cho buổi học, okay? |
| Người Việt Nam ít khi làm việc chung với gia đình và bạn bè |
| meaning Vietnamese people rarely work or partner with family members or friends. |
| I don't know why but this is very common in Vietnam |
| because it's very hard to work with people who you know. |
| When working with a stranger or when working with people you haven't known before, |
| it's very easy to negotiate or it's very easy to deal with some tough situations |
| because there is not much like emotional aspects affecting the situation. |
| I also have some experience working with some friends and it's very hard to negotiate |
| because we understand each other very well and that's why knowing a lot sometimes is not very good. |
| Việc trước thả thuyết sao meaning Vietnamese people usually work first and negotiate later. |
| So that means once you've known each other for some time and you have already built trust or |
| rapport, some people tend to work first, go for it, before actually negotiating some situation |
| in terms of salary or like work hours, benefits or responsibilities. |
| I used to see like some friends they had some business ideas and they decided to work together |
| without actually telling the responsibilities and benefits of each person leading to like a lack of |
| communication. After that the business didn't go well just because they didn't have proper |
| agreements beforehand. That's why it's very common in Vietnam and it's not easy for startups to last |
| for a long time because they just didn't research and prepare properly. This is also one of the |
| common culture which is not very good but it happens somewhere. So if you partner with a |
| Vietnamese person make sure that everything is clear from the beginning and set clear expectations |
| so that it won't create inconvenience later. |
| Những người thành công là những người có mối quan hệ rộng meaning successful people are |
| people who have broad connections or like a lot of relationships. I think it's also common everywhere |
| when you have a lot of connections and relationships in different fields. It's easier for you to sort |
| out some difficult situations because people will help you, will support you based on what they have |
| or based on what they know. It's very common in Vietnam if you're very successful that means you |
| have a lot a lot of connections and relationships with big guys. For example people who work in the |
| government or police or like managers or business owners something like that. |
| Những người thành công là những người có mối quan hệ rộng. |
| Next one. Người Việt Nam không mạo hiểm và thích sự an toàn. |
| Người Việt Nam không mạo hiểm và thích sự an toàn. Người Việt Nam không mạo hiểm và |
| thích sự an toàn meaning Vietnamese people don't like to take risk and they like safety something |
| like that. Let me explain of course in every country there will be like different kinds of |
| people people who would like to take risk people who don't want to take risk or something like that. |
| However in Vietnam I think it's very common for Vietnamese people not to take risk because it's |
| risky. Of course when we take risk there will be like a lot of opportunities to grow when it comes |
| to business deals but a lot of Vietnamese people just prefer being in their comfort zone and having |
| a safe or like less risky job so that is not very challenging. It's really hard to say like |
| how many percent people who like to take risk or not but successful people are usually people who |
| are willing to take risk or take challenges so I believe that depends on the profession depends |
| on the job or the work that you're doing it's easier for you to decide whether to take risk or not. |
| Người Việt Nam thường tìm kiếm các công việc ổn định. Người Việt Nam thường tìm kiếm |
| các công việc ổn định. Người Việt Nam thường tìm kiếm các công việc ổn định meaning Vietnamese |
| people usually look for stable jobs. Công việc ổn định is a very very common term in Vietnam |
| because a lot of Vietnamese parents want their children to have a stable job so that it's not |
| too risky it's not very challenging it's stable and it's comfortable however nowadays I believe |
| that there are a lot of young people who don't want to have a stable job because they want more |
| challenges so that they can develop themselves more and they can grow more so that's why this |
| is like a very common term for like a little bit old generations |
| Thu nhập ở miền Bắc cao hơn ở miền Nam một chút means like salary range or income |
| in the north is a little bit higher than in the south I don't know why I think maybe because |
| Ho Chi Minh City is a more developed city than Hanoi there are like more job opportunities |
| and Hanoi is more like a politic city so that's why I believe that we don't have a lot of like |
| big and developed businesses than in Ho Chi Minh City and that's why the living cost is a little |
| bit slower and the salary range is a little bit lower as well |
| Lãnh đạo ở các công ty Việt Nam rất quyền lực |
| means leaders or business owners of Vietnamese companies are very powerful I don't know how |
| about in your country but in Vietnam once you are a business owner you're a director or like |
| you're a leader in your company it means you have a lot of power so I would try to be a business |
| owner so that I have more power but I will use that in a good way those are 10 very common business |
| cultures or rules happening in Vietnam and I hope it helps so let me know if you have any questions |
