القيام بعمل تجاري في الصين
Doing business in China
اليوم
نتحدث للسيد غانم
وهو رجل اعمال مقيم في عمان
وهو غالبا يقوم بزيارة الصين
Today, we talk to Mr Ghanem, a businessman based in Amman who often visits China.
ولقد سألناه
عن أول مرة بدأ فيها أعمال التجارة في الصين
We asked him when he first started doing business with China.
لقد قمت بالاعمال التجارية في الصين لعدة سنوات
كانت اول رحلة هناك في عام 2004 م
‘I’ve been doing business with China for many years. My first trip there was in 2004 CE,
ولم تكن ناجحة
and it was not very successful.’
لماذا لم تكن ناجحة؟
Why was it not successful ?
عملت لدى شركة حاسوب صغيرة في عمان
قاموا بإرسال الى الصين
عندما كنت
‘I worked for a small computer company in Amman. They sent me to China when I was still
شابا صغيرا
أتمنى لو ان الشركة أدركت
أن الصينيون
يحترمون
العمر والخبرة
quite young. If only the company had realised that the Chinese respect age and experience
أكثر من الشباب
more than youth!’
هل ارتكبت أي أخطاء في تلك الزيارة ؟
Did you make any mistakes on that visit?
نعم
أتمنى لو انني قمت بالتعرف على الثقافة الصينية
قبل زيارة الدولة
لكي تكون
‘Yes! I wish I had researched Chinese culture before I visited the country. In order to
ناجحا في الصين
يجب عليك أن تكسب أحترامهم
دائما رجال الاعمال الصينوين
يسألوا
be successful in China, you need to earn their respect. Chinese business people will always ask
عن نجاحات الشركة في الماضي
على أية حال
لأنني عملت لدى شركة جديدة
about a company’s successes in the past. However, because I worked for a new company,
فانني لم استطيع الحديث عن سجل انجازاتهم
لم نقم بعمل اي صفات عمل في تلك الرحلة الاولى
I could not talk about its track record. We did not do any business deals on that first trip.’
متى تعلمت كيف تكون ناجحا في الصين
When did you learn how to be successful in China?
لقد التحقت بشركة كبيرة
وارسالوني لدورة توعية ثقافية
لزيارتي الثانية
‘I joined a larger company and they sent me on a cultural awareness course. On my next
في الصين
شعرت أنني لم اعرف اي شيء في زيارتي الاولى
visit to China, it felt as if I hadn’t known anything on my first visit!’
track record
all of a person’s or organisation’s past achievements, successes
or failures which show how well they have done something

ما النصائح التي تستطيع أن تقدمها للناس الذين يريدون القيام بأعمال تجارية في الصين ؟
What advice can you give to people wanting to do business in China?
قبل أن أزور أي شركة
أقوم بإرسال توصيات
من عملاء سابقين
وأقوم بإرسال
‘Before I visit a company, I send recommendations from previous clients. I also send
بطاقتي التجارية
الوظيفي
مع مؤهلاتي والمسمى
مترجمة اللغة الصينية
my business card with my job position and qualifications translated into Chinese.’
هل لك أن تخبرونا عن اخر أجتماع في الصين ؟
Can you tell us about your last meeting in China?
بالطبع
وصلت في الوقت المحدد
لا يجب عليك أن تصل متأخرا
لان ذك يظهر عدم الاحترام
ثم
عندما
‘Of course! I arrived on time. You must not arrive late, as this shows disrespect. Then, when
قابلت مدير الشركة
مصافحته بلطف
وبدأت الاجتماع
I met the company director, I shook hands with him gently. I began the meeting by making
بحديث قصير
عن خبراتي الشيقة في الصين
خلال الاجتماع
تأكدت أن
small talk about my interesting experiences in China. During the meeting, I made sure that
صوتي ولغتي الجسدية
كانت تحت السيطرة وهادئة
لم أقل اي نكتة
لان لذلك
my voice and body language were calm and controlled. I never told a joke, as this may not
لا يترجم بشكل صحيح
او يسبب استياء
be translated correctly or could cause offence.’
هل كان أجتماعيا ناجحا
Was it a successful meeting?
نعم
كان ذلك
علمت أن المدير
قد أطلع على عملي التجاري بشكل صحيح
قبل الاجتماع
‘Yes, it was. I knew that the director had researched my business thoroughly before the meeting,
لذلك كنت مستعدا لاسئلته المفصلة
عندما بدأت بالتفاوض
بدأت
so I was prepared for his detailed questions. When I began negotiating, I started with
بالقضايا المهمة
يؤمن الصينيون في تجنب الصدام
من المهم دائما
the important issues. The Chinese believe in avoiding conflict. It is always important to
أن تكون صبورا
كنت على استعداد للتوصل لتسوية
ولذلك في النهاية
كان الاجتماع ناجحا
be patient. I was prepared to compromise, so in the end, the meeting was successful.’

لقد قمت بالاعمال التجارية في الصين لعدة سنوات
كانت اول رحلة هناك في عام 2004 م
‘I’ve been doing business with China for many years. My first trip there was in 2004 CE,
ولم تكن ناجحة
and it was not very successful.’
لماذا لم تكن ناجحة؟
Why was it not successful ?
عملت لدى شركة حاسوب صغيرة في عمان
قاموا بإرسال الى الصين
عندما كنت
‘I worked for a small computer company in Amman. They sent me to China when I was still
شابا صغيرا
أتمنى لو ان الشركة أدركت
أن الصينيون
يحترمون
العمر والخبرة
quite young. If only the company had realised that the Chinese respect age and experience
أكثر من الشباب
more than youth!’
هل ارتكبت أي أخطاء في تلك الزيارة ؟
Did you make any mistakes on that visit?
نعم
أتمنى لو انني قمت بالتعرف على الثقافة الصينية
قبل زيارة الدولة
لكي تكون
‘Yes! I wish I had researched Chinese culture before I visited the country. In order to
ناجحا في الصين
يجب عليك أن تكسب أحترامهم
دائما رجال الاعمال الصينوين
يسألوا
be successful in China, you need to earn their respect. Chinese business people will always ask
عن نجاحات الشركة في الماضي
على أية حال
لأنني عملت لدى شركة جديدة
about a company’s successes in the past. However, because I worked for a new company,
فانني لم استطيع الحديث عن سجل انجازاتهم
لم نقم بعمل اي صفات عمل في تلك الرحلة الاولى
I could not talk about its track record. We did not do any business deals on that first trip.’
متى تعلمت كيف تكون ناجحا في الصين
When did you learn how to be successful in China?
لقد التحقت بشركة كبيرة
وارسالوني لدورة توعية ثقافية
لزيارتي الثانية
‘I joined a larger company and they sent me on a cultural awareness course. On my next
في الصين
شعرت أنني لم اعرف اي شيء في زيارتي الاولى
visit to China, it felt as if I hadn’t known anything on my first visit!’
track record
all of a person’s or organisation’s past achievements, successes
or failures which show how well they have done something

ما النصائح التي تستطيع أن تقدمها للناس الذين يريدون القيام بأعمال تجارية في الصين ؟
What advice can you give to people wanting to do business in China?
قبل أن أزور أي شركة
أقوم بإرسال توصيات
من عملاء سابقين
وأقوم بإرسال
‘Before I visit a company, I send recommendations from previous clients. I also send
بطاقتي التجارية
الوظيفي
مع مؤهلاتي والمسمى
مترجمة اللغة الصينية
my business card with my job position and qualifications translated into Chinese.’
هل لك أن تخبرونا عن اخر أجتماع في الصين ؟
Can you tell us about your last meeting in China?
بالطبع
وصلت في الوقت المحدد
لا يجب عليك أن تصل متأخرا
لان ذك يظهر عدم الاحترام
ثم
عندما
‘Of course! I arrived on time. You must not arrive late, as this shows disrespect. Then, when
قابلت مدير الشركة
مصافحته بلطف
وبدأت الاجتماع
I met the company director, I shook hands with him gently. I began the meeting by making
بحديث قصير
عن خبراتي الشيقة في الصين
خلال الاجتماع
تأكدت أن
small talk about my interesting experiences in China. During the meeting, I made sure that
صوتي ولغتي الجسدية
كانت تحت السيطرة وهادئة
لم أقل اي نكتة
لان لذلك
my voice and body language were calm and controlled. I never told a joke, as this may not
لا يترجم بشكل صحيح
او يسبب استياء
be translated correctly or could cause offence.’
هل كان أجتماعيا ناجحا
Was it a successful meeting?
نعم
كان ذلك
علمت أن المدير
قد أطلع على عملي التجاري بشكل صحيح
قبل الاجتماع
‘Yes, it was. I knew that the director had researched my business thoroughly before the meeting,
لذلك كنت مستعدا لاسئلته المفصلة
عندما بدأت بالتفاوض
بدأت
so I was prepared for his detailed questions. When I began negotiating, I started with
بالقضايا المهمة
يؤمن الصينيون في تجنب الصدام
من المهم دائما
the important issues. The Chinese believe in avoiding conflict. It is always important to
أن تكون صبورا
كنت على استعداد للتوصل لتسوية
ولذلك في النهاية
كان الاجتماع ناجحا
be patient. I was prepared to compromise, so in the end, the meeting was successful.’
