    希腊是西方文明的摇篮。西方哲学、民主政治、奥林匹克、《伊利亚特》、《荷马史诗》……每一个名词都牵动着人类的灵魂深处。值此中国希腊文化年，以及中国奥运年之际，在希腊驻华大使馆的大力支持下，BiMBA MBA国际部盛情邀请您参加“希腊之夜”的活动。
    活动将以品尝希腊美食开始，其间希腊驻华大使夫人，商务参赞，希腊著名珠宝品牌Oxette Loisir中国区董事长，欧中关系发展协会会长等，将和大家分享中希贸易和商业的信息。在京唯一的希腊艺术家将在现场为大家表演希腊古典乐器，并在活动最后带领大家一起感受希腊舞蹈。因为他们说，希腊人是生而舞者（Greek is born to dance）。
    此次活动秉承BiMBA MBA自始至终的办学理念：有文化品位，具国际视野，负社会责任。现场参与者均可获得《欧中商务月刊》一本。

贸易保护神--赫耳墨斯
    据希腊神话故事传说，世界上的贸易鼻祖是大名鼎鼎的神的使者赫耳墨斯。赫耳墨斯是众神之父宙斯与凡间女子迈亚生的儿子。赫耳墨斯上午出生，中午就跳出了摇篮。他抓住了一只大乌龟，用龟壳做成了世界上第一把竖琴。第二天，赫耳墨斯用这把没花一分钱的竖琴，换了兄长太阳神阿波罗(阿波罗是宙斯和女神勒托之子)50头膘肥体壮的牛。因为赫耳墨斯是世界上第一个做交易的神，而且做的又是无本高利的贸易，因而他也就成了商人们的保护神--贸易神(God of Trade)。
