Elementary - Psychopathic Business Cards

Our constant interest in hiring good Chinese voice actors has drawn some curious candidates to us over the years. Like the fellow who came in and handed out business cards. He had put considerable time and effort into designing them: the card stock was an elegant eggshell white set off by raised black lettering in Silian Rail. The card contained his name, contact information and current profession. "Unemployed student" it read.

That said, with business cards selling for as little as twenty renminbi per box here in China, it's hard to be critical, even if your situation is as unorthodox as that in our dialogue for today. Brett Easton Ellis may not have penned the script, but if you're planning to do business in China this is still a must-have lesson in the language and etiquette of exchanging business cards in China.
