Q: Should eggs be weighted or counted, if you look through the eyes of the business venture?

Can Chinese egg farmer profits more than Western one, by scaling the eggs?

Weighing suits the Chinese way of doing business rather than selling by the number. Electronic scales can easily be manipulated so as to cheat people but twelve eggs is twelve eggs and easy to check.

 

Besides, counting eggs would just amount to more work on the abacus or calculator for the Chinese!

Whilst your comments could be construed, by some, as being a little on the harsh side, I would venture to suggest that that 'some' would be good folk who know SFA about Chine.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
