Hot cars and sexy babes may go well together. But the only models I want to see at a computer show are those just out of the beta lab. If I want to mix technology and sex, I'll surf the Net for porn on my own time and in the privacy of my own home. So if you want the freebies and that includes brochures, key chains, and whatever the exhibitors are offering, go on the show's first day, just after the opening ceremony. Don't go during lunch hour.
Lunch is like a daily national holiday in China.
One would think that eating overcooked mystery meat out of a polystyrene box is a spiritual experience from the way it is anticipated and discussed. Lunch hour, unfortunately, leaves exhibition booths unmanned by guys who are more interested in stuffing rice into their mouth than explaining the product or promoting the company. The next five rules 6. Avoid any booth with a big screen TV, a video game, or stereo speakers. These are cheap ways of getting Chinese consumers to visit a booth and it doesn't always mean that the vendor has a good product to show.
