How to use special title "总 zǒng" in business Chinese 如何在商务场合使用“总”头衔

3年前

There is one special title used frequently in business occasions in China, which is "总 zǒng". 

In this situation,  "总 zǒng" means "cheaf" or "head". It is a short form general manager, chief director, CEO, CFO, president of a company, chairman of the board, etc. 

It is used after people last name. Sometimes,  although the person is only in charge of a very small section in company, he/she would probably be happy if you address him/her with the title of  "总 zǒng" .
