China has the most franchises in the world but the scale of their operations is relatively small. Each system in China has an average of 43 outlets, compared to more than 540 in the United States. Together, there are 2,600 brands in some 200,000 retail markets. KFC was the most significant foreign entry in 1987 and is widespread. Many franchises are in fact joint-ventures, as at their forming the franchise law was not explicit. For example, McDonald's is a joint venture. Pizza Hut, TGIF, Wal-mart, Starbucks followed a little later. But total franchising is only 3% of retail trade, which seeks foreign franchise growth. The year 2005 saw the birth of an updated franchise law, “Measures for the Administration of Commercial Franchise”. Previous legislation (1997) made no specific inclusion of foreign investors. Today the franchise law is much clearer by virtue of the 2007 law, a revision of the 2005 law. The laws are applicable if there are transactions involving a trademark combined with payments with many obligations on the franchisor. The law comprises 42 articles and eight chapters.

Online Shopping Spree Sets Record
Chinese shoppers spent billions online yesterday as they took advantage of discounts offered on Singles Day (November 11). It is a festival for young single people to celebrate by eating together, sending gifts or going shopping, thus seized on by online retailers to increase sales.
It took only 13 hours for sales on just two online sites, Taobao and Tmall, to fly past last year's overall total of 19.1 billion yuan (US$3.1 billion).The final figure of Singles Day reached an astonishing 35.02 billion yuan as hundreds of thousands of consumers rushed to buy clothes, furniture, and home decoration items at discount prices. What friends and colleagues greeted each other with that day was “Bought anything today?” as they exchanged tales of bargains or disappointing news of popular items sold out minutes after the spree began at midnight.
In under nine hours, turnover at the Alibaba Group's Tmall and Taobao sites had exceeded that of last year's Cyber Monday, a similar event in the United States.
“We hope other e-commerce sites also did a good job as we want Singles Day to be a holiday for consumers and a good chance for retailers to discover the unmet needs of shoppers,” Jack Ma, founder and chairman of Alibaba Group, told reporters.
“It's not a difficult thing to bring our total transaction size to 100 billion yuan in a couple of years but we hope to do more to help vendors and manufacturers to upgrade their products and service to reach more clients,” Ma said at a news briefing.

The Feel Good Factor in Customer Service
A challenge in working in customer service is to ensure that you have focused your attention on the right key areas, measured by the right Key Performance Indicator (KPI). One of the most important aspects of a customer service KPI is what is often referred to as the “Feel Good Factor”. Basically the goal is not only to help the customer have a good experience, but to offer an experience that exceeds expectations. Several key points are listed as follows:
Know what products/service you are offering from back to front. In other words, be an information expert. It is okay to say “I don’t know”, but it should always be followed up by “but let me find out” or possibly “but this person will be able to assist you”. Whatever the situation may be, make sure that you don’t leave your customer with an unanswered question.
Most of the communication that you relay to others is done through body language. If you have negative body language when you communicate with others, it shows that you don't care. Two of the most important aspects of positive body language are smiling and eye contact. Make sure to look your customers in the eye. It shows that we are listening to them and hearing what they are saying. And of course smiling is more inviting than a blank look or frown.
Nothing surprises your customers more than an employee going the extra mile to help them. Always look for ways to go above and beyond the expectations of your customers. In doing so, it helps them to know that you care and it will leave them with the “Feel Good Factor” that you are searching for.
The goal of customer service is to give customers an experience that meets their expectations.
2. Leave your customer with an unanswered question is unacceptable.
3. Both positive body language and negative body language are necessary in customer service.
4. Eye contact is one of the most important aspects of positive body language.
5. The underlined “going the extra mile to help them” in the last paragraph means “going a long way to help them”.

Four Tips for Becoming a Franchisee
If you want to become a franchisee, the tips below can help you to find the perfect opportunity.
Be focusd on your preference. On the stage of decision-making, the bottom line is: Don't rule out a business without learning or seeing what the day-to-day will look like. For instance, think about a mom returning to the work force who knows she wants to interact with children on a daily basis. Among the hundreds of options there, she needs to decide if she would like to be hands on as a teacher or if she would rather manage a facility that tutors children in math. Deciding between the two is easy if she considers which day-to-day position she would prefer and how that will impact her other goals.
Be proactive with your research. After you've determined what role you want in a franchise, it's important to start researching different options. Physically visit many different franchise locations and browse the web and then determine what will be a fit in your community.
Make sure the franchisor has experience. Before signing on to a franchise, it is essential to ask the franchisor about the executive team and its past industry experience. Find out if the company leaders have had significant experience at another franchise and are now applying that knowledge successfully.
Read the franchise disclosure document carefully. The first thing to look at is how much a franchise would cost to purchase. Make sure you have a financial advisor who can look at that item with you and see the type of profit a franchisee can make on average. It's also important to take a look at the post-termination clause in the agreement to make sure that when you want to leave the business, you know the terms well and your interests are properly protected.
Decide on a business with learning or seeing what the day-to-day will look like.
2. Before you've determined what role you want in a franchise, it's time to start the business.
3. Before signing on to a franchise, the essential job is to ask the franchisor about the executive team and its past industry experience.
4. The first thing to look at is how long a franchise would take to purchase.
5. To make sure that when you want to leave the business, you have made enough money and you are satisfied with that.

In business, people have to deal in person all kinds of people. You may have to use English when talking to different people within your company who don't speak your language; these may be colleagues or co-workers, superiors or subordinates—who may work with you in your own department, in another part of the building or in another branch. And you may also have to deal in English with people from the organization: clients, suppliers, visitors and members of the public. Moreover, these people may be friends, acquaintances or strangers—people of your own age, or people who are or older than you. The relationship you have with a person determines the kind of language you use.
This relationship may even affect what you say when you meet people: for example, it's not to say “Hi, how are you!” when meeting the Managing Director of a large company or to say “Good morning, it's a great pleasure to meet you” when being introduced to a person you'll be working closely with in the same team.
Remember that people form an impression of you from the way you speak and behave—not just from the you do your work. People in different countries have different ideas of what sounds friendly, polite or sincere—and of what sounds rude or unfriendly! Good manners in your culture may be considered bad manners in another.
Remember also that your body language, gestures and expression may tell people more about you than the words you use.

The Golden Rules of Negotiating
The art of negotiating is a difficult skill for most of us, even good salespeople. Here are three golden rules for you to follow:
Always Start the Negotiations.
You must initiate the process. This is because whoever controls the start of the negotiations tends to control where they end. If you let the other party start negotiations, you will be constantly giving up control, often without even realizing it. For instance, when you ask someone what his project budget is, you are allowing him to start the negotiations. You will then spend your time chasing his number rather than finding the best solution. So, never let the other party control the negotiations.
2. Always Negotiate in Writing.
The purpose of negotiations is to arrive at a formal written agreement, not tell a story or spend time talking. From the first moment you begin a proposal, you should create a document and take it to the client. It will include all the points of agreement and become real to the prospective customer. Negotiating first and then having to create a document adds unnecessary time to a transaction. But if you build your written agreement as you negotiate, you are prepared to ask for a signature the moment the decision to buy is made.
3. Always Stay Cool.
The negotiation table can be loaded with agendas, egos and emotions. Great negotiators know how to stay cool, providing leadership and solutions, while the rest of the room becomes insanely invested in personal agendas and useless emotions. Crying, getting angry and blowing off steam may make you feel good, but such behavior will not benefit you while negotiating. When the rest of the room gets emotional, stay cool and use logic to negotiate and close.
1. If you let the other party start negotiations, you will be completely grasp the control, often without even realizing it.
2. So, never let both parties control the negotiations.
3. Negotiating first and then having to create a document doesn’t need necessary time to a transaction.
4. Great negotiators know how to stay cool, providing leadership and solutions, while the rest of the room becomes wild or helpless during the negotiation.
5. When the rest of the room gets out of control, stay cool and use logic to negotiate and close.
答案是:

I don't think you are worth
Let me pay for it

Online Shopping Spree Sets Record
Chinese shoppers spent billions online yesterday as they took advantage of discounts offered on Singles Day (November 11). It is a festival for young single people to celebrate by eating together, sending gifts or going shopping, thus seized on by online retailers to increase sales.
It took only 13 hours for sales on just two online sites, Taobao and Tmall, to fly past last year's overall total of 19.1 billion yuan (US$3.1 billion).The final figure of Singles Day reached an astonishing 35.02 billion yuan as hundreds of thousands of consumers rushed to buy clothes, furniture, and home decoration items at discount prices. What friends and colleagues greeted each other with that day was “Bought anything today?” as they exchanged tales of bargains or disappointing news of popular items sold out minutes after the spree began at midnight.
In under nine hours, turnover at the Alibaba Group's Tmall and Taobao sites had exceeded that of last year's Cyber Monday, a similar event in the United States.
“We hope other e-commerce sites also did a good job as we want Singles Day to be a holiday for consumers and a good chance for retailers to discover the unmet needs of shoppers,” Jack Ma, founder and chairman of Alibaba Group, told reporters.
“It's not a difficult thing to bring our total transaction size to 100 billion yuan in a couple of years but we hope to do more to help vendors and manufacturers to upgrade their products and service to reach more clients,” Ma said at a news briefing.
Online retailers took hold of the shopping spree to increase sales successfully.
2. The final figure of Singles Day for this year reached 19.1 billion yuan.
3. Cyber Monday is a similar event in the Great Britain.
4. Other e-commerce sites did as well as Alibaba Group on Singles Day.
5. Jack Ma's goal of transaction size is to reach 100 billion yuan in several years.

Three Americans Win Nobel Economics Prize
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in economics to three Americans, Eugene Fama, Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller on Oct. 14, 2013. Eugene Fama and Lars Peter Hansen are both professors at the University of Chicago. Robert Shiller is a professor at Yale University. They will share the prize worth about 1.2 million dollars.
“This year's prize in economic sciences is about predictions.” All three of this year's prize winners are mainly known for their research and explanations of pricing forces in financial markets. They have had a big influence on the way people look at and talk about financial markets.
Eugene Fama's research on financial markets in the 1960s led market watchers to change their ideas about investing. His ideas are linked to the theory that markets are efficient, which means market actors taking all available information to create the correct price for things at any given time. This also means that over short periods of time, it is not possible to predict prices.
Robert Shiller found, however, that over long periods, the opposite is true. It is possible to predict the movement of prices and that price changes are linked to human behavior.
The findings of both economists have led to the growth of index funds, investing many different securities as a way to reduce risk. Mr Shiller also helped to create the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller home prices index. That index follows home prices across the United States.
Lars Peter Hansen developed a method for studying historical pricing information. His method supports Mr Shiller's findings and has influenced efforts to predict prices in the financial industry.
The Nobel Prize in economics was not created by Alfred Nobel, but was established in his memory by Sweden's central bank in 1968.

Traveller’s Check
Many of the banks and travel services in western provide a convenience for travellers by issuing traveller's checks. Travellers, when buying the checks, have to sign the checks in the presence of the bank or service clerks. During the trip, travellers can cash the checks from the agencies of the bank or the travel service whenever they need after their counter-signatures are recognized. A lot of travellers like to buy these checks as they don't have to take along much cash and worry about counterfeit signatures. The agencies will get back the money they have paid by sending the checks to the issuing offices.
Traveller's checks are generally of small face value, such as ten or twenty dollars, or five or ten pounds, for miscellaneous payments. There is no time limit for their circulation period. It is very profitable for the issuing offices to finance the funds they collect by issuing traveller's checks because they not only receive a service charge from the check buyers, but they also don't need to pay any interest no matter how long the checks remain in circulation before clearing. This is why banks and travel services are willing to provide this convenience.
It is convenient for the travellers to travel around the world as many banks and travel services issue travellers' checks.
2. There are no signatures of travellers who have bought the checks.
3. Quite a few travellers like to buy the checks.
4. Travellers do not worry about the circulation period of the checks as there is no time limit for it.
5. Banks and travel services are reluctant to provide travellers'checks.

Customer Service
The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. And wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special.
2. When customers get to a store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers don’t usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards. Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want. Customers usually don’t have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked.
3. When customers are ready to checkout, they can go to the nearest and shortest checkout lane. Good stores open new checkout lanes when the line ups get too long. Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 items or less. After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm “thank you and have a nice day” from the clerk.
4. In America, customer service continues long after the sale. Many products come with a money-back guarantee. Expensive items like cars, computers or stereos often have a warranty that ensures trouble-free use for a period of a year or more. Advertisements regularly include the motto, “Your satisfaction is guaranteed”. So if there is a problem with the product, customers can take it back. The customer service representative will often allow them to exchange the item or return it for a full refund.
5. Customer service in America grows out of the belief that “the customer is always right”. If a person receives poor service from a store, he probably will avoid shopping there in the future. On the other hand, customers often remain loyal to a business that has excellent service even if their prices are high.

Cyber Monday Clicks in with Record Sales
Cyber Monday rocked while mobile sales roared.
The day widely regarded as the Super Bowl of online sales created a record day for retailers, including Walmart, and marked a shift in shopping preferences as smartphones and tablets drove nearly a third of traffic — and for some retailers, more than half.
Walmart.com expects to register its biggest Cyber Monday yet, coming off a record Black Friday weekend online. Heading into the afternoon Monday, the website had already sold out of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, which weren't even discounted. Significant savings on TVs and tablets also encouraged shopping, says Joel Anderson, CEO of Walmart.com.
Retailers from Target to Sears are fast evolving Cyber Monday into something more akin to Cyber Week, as online deals stretch well beyond Monday.
As of 6 p.m. ET, sales on Amazon were up 44.3% over last year, while sales at eBay were up 32.1%, according to Channel Advisor, which tracks third-party sellers on eBay and Amazon. The online marketplaces are doing well in part because shoppers are heading to those sites to find popular products that are selling out at regular retailers, says Scot Wingo, CEO of Channel Advisor.
Flash-sale site Rue La La started Cyber Monday deals on Sunday with a “Cyberthon” that drew more than 350,000 people to the site. The sale promoted as much as 80% off on more than 150 brands. On Monday, sales of Cole Haan and Pandora Jewelry merchandise were strongest, CEO Steve Davis says.

Organizing a Business in Different Ways
Businesses are structured in different ways to meet different needs. The simplest form of business is called an individual or sole proprietorship. The proprietor owns all of the property of the business and is responsible for everything.
Another kind of business is a partnership. Two or more people go into business together. An agreement is usually needed to decide how much of the partnership each person controls. One kind of partnership is called a limited liability partnership. These have full partners and limited partners. Limited partners may not share as much in the profits, but they also have less responsibility for the business. Doctors, lawyers and accountants often form partnerships to share their risks and profits. A husband and wife can form a business partnership together. Partnerships exist only for as long as the owners remain alive. The same is true of individual proprietorships.
But corporations are designed to have an unlimited lifetime. A corporation is the most complex kind of business organization. Corporations can sell stock as a way to raise money. Stocks represent shares of ownership in a company. Investors who buy stock can trade their shares or keep them as long as the company is in business.
A corporation is recognized as an entity—its own legal being, separate from its owners. A board of directors controls corporate policies. The directors appoint top company officers. The directors might or might not hold shares in the corporation. Corporations can have a few major shareholders, or ownership can be spread among the general public. But not all corporations are traditional businesses that sell stock. Some non-profit groups are also organized as corporations.
