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

3 years ago

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" .
