Hanoi Business Pulse

  • Culture Formal, hierarchical, and relationship-driven. Government presence is strong.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best reached between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Business in the capital is more formal and hierarchical than in the south. Relationships with authority and government are often important. Trust must be built through multiple polite interactions and formal introductions.

Shanghai Business Pulse

  • Culture Highly competitive and fast-paced. Business is often conducted with a mix of modern efficiency and traditional "Guanxi" (relationships).
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Nap time is common).
  • Pro Tip Respect the 12-1 PM lunch and rest window; lights are often dimmed in offices for naps. The best time to call is between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Avoid calling during major public holidays like Golden Week or Lunar New Year, as business comes to a complete halt.
