Beijing Business Pulse

  • Culture Hierarchical and focused on long-term strategy. Government relations often influence business timing.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Ensure your communication follows hierarchical lines—always address the most senior person first. Like Shanghai, avoid calling during the 12-1:30 PM lunch/nap window and major national holidays.

Rio de Janeiro Business Pulse

  • Culture Relaxed but hardworking. Creative and media industries are prominent.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best call times are 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. "Cariocas" (Rio locals) value an informal and friendly start to meetings. Always spend a few minutes on social pleasantries. Avoid scheduling anything for Friday afternoon as the city begins its weekend transition early.
