Why should you get a wedding film?

Over the last little while, I’ve had people ask me the same questions about { First Kiss Films } time and time again. So, I thought it might be helpful to post some answers here.

Why should I get wedding film?
Investment. You hear that word a lot but having just gotten married last year I’ve learned that one of the most important decisions you can make is to have your wedding day artfully documented. The day is over so quickly and there are moments that you will surely miss. Your wedding is truly only one day but it is your images that are captured that day that will last a lifetime.

Why shoot on film?
There is a reason film has stuck around for over 100 years. Film is unmatched by any other medium and nothing compares to the beautiful, rich and warm image it creates. Just watch the online sample and see for yourself.

I’ve already hired a photographer, do I still need a wedding film?
Yes! One cannot replace the other. A wedding film captures the subtle nuances and emotions you’ll experience, not just single moments in time. Both will be cherished as loving memories, but the static frame alone cannot contain the energy and beauty that exists on that day.

What makes you as a wedding filmmaker unique?
1) You are hiring a true artist. I’ve been an active film artist producing and exhibiting my work worldwide since 1997.

2) I use high-quality materials. I also not only shoot Super 8mm but also with 16mm film which is four times the resolution of 8mm and creates a stunning image that is still used by many film and television producers.

3) My gender. Filmmaking is still a male-dominated profession. But I feel being a woman gives me an advantage. I understand what a bride is looking for in her wedding day images and how to create the most flattering imagery. Another bonus: I can be with the bride the entire day and blend in as just one of the girls leaving everyone at ease. I adore what I do and just love making couples happy.

What got you into filmmaking?
I think creativity is one part genetics and one part environmental. Both my parents are creative and they encouraged us (and continue to do so) to be creative. And it paid off. Both my sister and I are artists and our creativity flows effortlessly.

My dad is the reason I make wedding films. He experienced much of our lives through a camera lens and documented our early years on Super 8mm film and then transitioned to video. He taught us the joy and importance of recording the big and little moments in life.

How long have you been shooting weddings?
Since I was fourteen years old. Obviously not full-time since then and I’ve used various mediums to document people’s weddings over the years (video, 35mm film, & later motion picture film). While I was a teenager my dad began shooting weddings just because he loved to do it (gosh, it is genetic!) and it gave him a chance to play with new technology.

The first time I shot a wedding was with my dad and I was working as the second camera unit for a huge Italian wedding. I helped him shoot weddings for a few years and then while attending university when I got really into still photography I began using the still frame to capture weddings.

And today? You could say I have combined the above experiences with my work as a film artist by using the medium that I love love love working with to make wedding films. It’s been a fabulous but long road to get here but I am thrilled that I’ve found my true calling.

Will you travel?
Indeed! Plus I don’t charge anything extra for travel other than the basic cost of transportation and accommodation.

Idaho Dems propose break for venture capitalists

Democrats want anybody who takes an ownership stake in a small Idaho business to be eligible for a 50 percent tax break when they unload their share of the venture for a profit.

The measure, introduced Thursday in the House Revenue and Taxation Committee for a full hearing later, is part of the minority party's six-bill package aimed at helping revive the state's lagging economy.

The bill seeks to stimulate investment from venture capitalists in companies with 20 or fewer employees, but it would also allow any family members to take stakes in relatives' companies, then get a 50 percent break on gains once they sell.

Operative earnings wouldn't qualify for the break.

Rep. Bill Killen, the Boise Democrat sponsoring the measure, says he wants to make such investments more attractive "by offering a little sweetener in the Idaho tax code."

Craft Venture: Photo makeover, part I

I’m Brenda from Phydelle and Phydeaux Designs, back for another Craft Venture! We talked last week about revisiting your pricing, all part of our January series on post-holiday shop clean up and makeovers. You can’t have a makeover without new photos, which is what we’ll talk about this week!

I’ll start this week with an immediate disclaimer: I am by no means an expert in photography! But I can tell you without equivocation that when it comes to shopping online, we shop with our eyes first. The stronger and more appealing your photographs are, the more traffic you will have draw to your online shop.

Before you pick up your camera, spend some time working your way through a couple of crucial steps.

First step is to critically look at your photos! Are they a bit stale? Still have some Christmas, Halloween or even Fourth of July photos in your shop? Are you baffled about why your fantastic and beautiful widget just isn’t pulling in visitors? Or maybe you are rebranding your shop, building consistent styling across your photos? Ask someone for constructive criticism of your current photos (I recommend asking a successful online seller with fantastic photos for that kind of feedback, rather than your best customer or mom or spouse!).

Next step is to think about your brand, your customers, the story you want to tell with your photos and descriptions. You can tie all of this into how you style your photos!

Growth Economy Venture Challenge - Nokia announces $1m competition for mobile apps designed for poor

Nokia announced a $1 million competition for developers to make mobile applications to improve the lives of people living on less than $5 day. The winner of the Venture Challenge will be announced in June and receive a $1 million investment from the Finnish maker of mobile phones. President and Chief Executive Olla-Pekka Kallasvuo made the announcement at the morning keynote on this second day of the Consumer Electronics Show, turning the talk from the latest gadgets to upward mobility in emerging markets. The message was a refreshing dose of humility at a conference often relentlessly focused on making people buy bigger televisions. "I want to put our money where our mouth is," said Kallasvuo. "We want you to come up with new ways to improve people's lives and encourage upward mobility around the world." Details of the competition can be found at the link above. The deadline to enter is April 18.

A New Venture for Old Hats

Jim Hoovens rang in 2009 with some serious concerns about his job. It was quickly obvious to him that T-shirt screen printer T.J. Sales Co. Inc., where he worked 15 years, was struggling to stay afloat.

"Benefits were cut, salaries were cut, hours were reduced, all to help save the company money and try to save it from foreclosure," said Hoovens, the former operations manager.

The foreclosure came down in November. Guaranty Bank purchased the company's property and equipment at 545 S. Union Ave. for $494,316, according to Greene County records, and Hoovens, nine other workers and business owner Timothy J. Loudis were out of jobs.

By Dec. 30, however, Hoovens and two former co-workers, print operator Shawn Meredith and graphic artist George Swope, were back working in the Union Avenue building. This time it was as employees of startup Wiseguys Screen Printing.

Scott Bottorf, owner of embroidery service Sapphire Mills LLC, 4311 S. Timbercreeek in Battlefield, purchased T.J. Sales' screen printing equipment from Guaranty Bank for an undisclosed amount and signed a 90-day lease on the property. T.J. Sales had been a contract client of Sapphire Mills, Hoovens said.

Armed with the equipment and connections with veteran staff members, Bottorf - and investor partners Jeff Salyers of Play It Again Sports and Brian Wilmsmeyer of Elite Promotions Inc. - formed Wiseguys Screen Printing under JBS Co.

"There was a staff that was experienced, and the opportunity to buy the equipment at the right price," Bottorf said, noting he'd been considering adding screen printing to Sapphire Mills' services.

Mike Mattson, executive vice president and chief lending officer at Guaranty Bank, said the Union Avenue building is under contract for sale to another, undisclosed party, which would assume the Wiseguys lease and negotiate an extension or move in when the lease expires.

Wiseguys would likely move to southwest Springfield, since Bottorf said he plans to split his time between the screen printing and embroidery businesses. He's looking for space to lease, but in three to five years, he would like to expand the Sapphire Mills building, which he owns, to bring both businesses under one roof, he said.

Bottorf said he expects the Wiseguys client base to be similar to that of Sapphire Mills, which consists primarily of contract work. He also hopes to pick up orders from former T.J. Sales clients.

Salyers, a co-owner of Play it Again Sports in Springfield, said the embroidery and screen printing he orders for groups such as school and Little League teams makes up approximately 10 percent to 15 percent of his business.

He's ordered embroidery work from Sapphire Mills for more than 10 years, he said, and ordered screen print work from T.J. Sales for nearly 15 years.

"We were in limbo there for a couple of months," Salyers said of T.J. Sales closure. "When (Bottorf) took over, we knew him and what he brings to the table."

Loudis declined to comment on the new business. He said he's been doing some consulting work, but is still looking for permanent employment.

Hoovens said he expected to one day be back in business with colleagues Meredith and Swope.

"In January, when basically all hell broke loose, the three employees began talking about what if. We had plans to open our own shop," Hoovens said. "We were able to supply the talent, Scott brought the financial stability, and we made it work."

another new venture: short stories

I keep reading that publishing is one of those catch-22 ventures in which you need publications to get published. Therefore, I have submitted my first short story, a steampunk/science fiction piece of 4,200 words titled O How the Wheel Becomes It! to Crossed Genres, The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy with a Twist.

Here's the hook:

Ophelia Fahrenheit has been allowed to run wild, but no one can imagine exactly how wild she has run.

Neglected by her traveling father and cosseted by the servants, Ophelia has spent her entire life dreaming of the love and understanding only a mother can give. And she's been doing experiments in her secret attic workroom. The electric pepper mill was a failure, but the phantasm-revealing glasses might actually work.

When a new chambermaid sees something curious, she's drawn into Ophelia's workroom by a promise of favor that ends when the chloroform hits her nose. Why has Ophelia Fahrenheit been whispering to that ticking brass box, and what will happen when the chambermaid wakes?

Hongta former president of the Chu Kin: Beipanwuqi prison re-start

Chu Kenshin ask an orange tree, remove the excess Zhiya

Wen / Liu Wei Zhao Jinlin Wood

Chu Jian of the orchard is green kingdom, and every newly arrived guests were thus intoxicated. The high sun, sweet floral, this romantic scenes and an old man closely linked. Chu Jian and his wife Ma Jingfen keep their promise, the first part of a relatively formal way to invite friends and family to visit his orchard, which is perhaps Chu Kin-bones display of self-confidence, but the 82-year-old, this last for why they should endure the engage in open barren hills and orchards in the lower income groups are given the most realistic answer.

"You see only part of the eye"

Chu Jian of the orchard is located jiasa Xinping County of Yuxi City, near the town of two hills. The Ailaoshan gentle rolling hills, the contiguous orchards green, vibrant, disclosure infinite hope. 21 noon, Chu Kin and his wife Ma Jingfen invite friends and family, care for many years to visit the garden. Spring orchard was permeated with a fragrance, each an orange tree, white flowers sequential connected. Fengdie happens under the sun dance, workers are busily shuttling in the orchard. Just pluck the fruits of last year, this year's harvest seems to come again.

Under the hot sun, Chu Jian thick hands with the pro-ask an orange tree, and shook off those extra grows Zhiya of new, "This year's flower buds than last year's big. Bud can not be small, but can not be secret, otherwise they will be consuming more multi-nutrient, over a few days will fall in the end nothing. "Chu Kin said, to see these buds, his heart will have a late harvest this year, certainly more impressive than last year.

Chu Jian of the garden, more than 200 workers, they all came from the nearby mountains. Late last year, the town built jiasa Xinxiang 43-year-old farmer Li Yongcheng million yuan got here, clearing wage, which is equivalent to his care of the 3000 contract year-end dividend orange seedlings, while the month, he can get here a living allowance of 500 yuan.

Farmers said the crafts for each of the fruit here, can get at home, about 10 times the income of farmers. Because the implementation of contract system, fruit of the initiative has been greatly mobilized. Only those who really can not get into the technology also lazy farmers finally had to choose to leave, but this year, so that farmers only one.

This is the Chu Kin for the first time a relatively formal way to invite guests to visit their orchard, so when昆明卷烟厂former two-term party secretary Qu Yi Jing and Zhong Lu orchard hills standing when the issue could not resist such a marvel: "I knew that he engaged in the orchard, but did not expect such a big area. "

Chu Jian sense of humor replied: "Your eyes can see is only a small part!" This kind of dialogue and thought-provoking, do not have some profound meaning.

Chu Kin A total of 2,400 acres of orchards, there are 340,000 Guomiao, he said, so that the scale of the whole country, not particularly large, "I'm not the pursuit of quantity, I have only the pursuit of quality." As for the many years of low-key, he said : "good quality, and reputation is like, so I never actively promote."

This discourse, so people get second thought a few decades ago. The last century, 60 years, Chu alive jiasa a small sugar mill town of about 10 years served as the director of the later into the tobacco industry. Later, Chu Jian of the tobacco industry to actively introduce advanced equipment from abroad, pay close attention to the quality of tobacco leaf, and finally grasp the opportunities of reform, in order to Yunnan's tobacco industry became a national leader out of power.

Today jiasa town resembling a small county, but 20 years ago, where even the roads are not. Fragrance of sugar cane in the streets where jiasa flying, Chu Jian's second venture once again chose not here by chance, he said: "I am familiar with the climate here, where there are many people I am familiar with." Outsider looking in years, of which there may be some local complex.

Today, Chu Kin name itself is a brand, not long ago, Kunming, played a number of vendors, "Chu Kin kinds of rock candy orange," the ad words, sales are booming, allowing Chu Kin-I was unexpected.

"In good faith the foundation of my success,"

Chu reported a letter will be pulled into the health of its life low. In 1995, the commission received a complaint letters, reflecting the individual Yan Fan Lin Cheng-chi Luoyang, Henan Province Sanmenxia collusion tobacco subsidiary, through the Chu family, health indicators of bribery to obtain cigarettes. Followed by Yunnan Provincial Committee of Yuxi Cigarette Factory will begin to adjust the leadership team, Chu Jian apparently did not realize that close to "dangerous", and later even go further.

In September 1998, Yunnan Province Higher People's Court trial of Chu Kin-corruption case, this is the first time in Yunnan Province, the High Court of first instance cases. As Chu Kin-Hong Ta Group's reputation, the case caused a sensation in the community. January 9, 1999, Chu Jian was sentenced to life in prison a few months later, Chu Jian's daughter, Chu Ying-Hong and his wife, Ma Jingfen were detained those involved. In December 1995, Chu Ying in the cells committed suicide after leaving a suicide note; Ma Jingfen, also in April 1996 formally arrested. A year later, Chu Jian placed under surveillance and was formally arrested in July 1997.

In 2002, more than 70-year-old Chu Jian suffering from severe diabetes can be released for medical treatment, that is, from this year, he has turned into fruit industry. A large number of valley life, from the high-spirited, to today's second pioneering work, for the experience of wind and rain, from the conversation that he can see that he has things in their stride.

Today, the 82-year-old Chu health hale and hearty, clear and calm voice speaking, walking sound powerful, he did not need crutches, when someone want to arm him, and he was somewhat rejected. But his ear is no longer sensitive, and talking to him to be around their Fuer. Despite the month will benefit from Yuxi City, and jiasa running back and forth between the two or three times, but Chu Jian acknowledged that the past few years, he felt a bit old fast.

Of his silver-haired, the mix of black light that part of people has become increasingly difficult to detect.

Chu Jian of the white shirt a bit yellow, the volume of the sleeve open mouth black stains, he said, his body clothes are cheap goods, but he was not the habit of trimming pieces previously to the United States, he also insisted on not wearing a tie.

Chu Jian said that if their worth in this life there are some positive things, then it is sincere, he was infected with the sincere people around, which once created his own tobacco empire, and similarly, he was again second with sincerity to realize their own entrepreneurial laid the foundation for brilliant, and claim to lead the farmers to work the garden along with prosperity.

Chu Kin many people suggested, it should be out of the personal autobiographical book, but that he has no such intention, he thought that if you want to leave a spiritual legacy, but added very much hope that this letter for future generations to see, if one day, Chu Jian offspring had more than his illustrious figures, If we think it is due to his influence, it suffices.

Reporter and his remarks on the same day after dinner, he said, only half an hour talking to an early break, but we knew it, an hour passed. Interviews with journalists and unwilling to take up the name of an old man more time, he needs to rest, but when they speak, he had a received a smoking habit. In the one-hour conversation, he stood up and said such dialogue is not necessarily profound, hope to have the opportunity to in-depth discussions. However, at a press view, dialogue, although the short and hasty, but some of which is still interesting.

Chu Jian and reporters talked about the orchard and experience

Reporter: Chu old, can tell us about your orchard do?

Chu Kin: Our orchard area is 5 square kilometers and covers an area of 2400 acres, a total of 340,000 fruit trees. At present, the orchard of 210 households, the company management staff 40, temporary workers and more than 100 people, the whole add up to nearly 400 people. The coming year, we have to change varieties, strict requirements to achieve high-quality, so our goal is to control within the 200,000.

Reporter: orange crystal sugar, compared with other classes orange what are the characteristics?

Chu Jian: Other varieties of oranges are generally sweet and greasy, Seya so inadequate. We did sweet orange crystal sugar, water enough, not Seya, taste good, because the facilities are pollution-free organic fertilizer, so good for your health, eating more does not get angry. We plant oranges contain sugar-acid ratio is 18 to 1, the other orange category is very difficult to achieve this standard.

Reporter: The development of orchards in the funding come from?

Chu Jian: mainly rely on the previously accumulated contacts and their own personality, the East by the West Cou to more than 1000 million, has invested orchards based on the development and construction. Estimated that this year, up next year, this money can be paid back. Engage in orchards have borrowed so much money, I will take more flustered.

Reporter: how their own orchard is managed?

Chu Jian: allocation is a very important thing, we are implementing family "slice" contract responsibility system, farmers subjective initiative into full play, practice harder and less the less you earn, not labor can not. Specifically manifested in the orchard divided into pieces to 3000-5000 strain as a standard, sub-contracted to farmers, usually made monthly farmers 500 yuan for basic living expenses, such as fruit mature, according to fruit quality, different prices per ton to the farmers to receive, collect more income less personal income related to farmers, thus fully mobilize the initiative of farmers in charge, and some farmers are basically every day in their own Area of the Orchard, "roll," for ease of management, increase harvests, there is farmers to uproot his family in the mountains, orchards built a temporary house, room and board are in the mountain.

Reporter: So how to solve the technical aspects?

Chu Kin: The main is to increase scientific and technological input to carry out scientific management, and orchards have specialized technicians, I also went to the orchard every month look at two or three times to give them technical guidance, if the garden pruning, fertilizing, de-worming and so on. Another one, we build green for the purpose, so are the main organic fertilizer. In the preparation of fertilizers, we are very particular about, and few people can do such a standard, we are of fertilizer which is its own formula, cost about 200 yuan per ton, but our fertilizer than 1,000 yuan per ton on the market should be good. We use our own fertilizer, soil structure has here has changed.

Shi Yuzhu: From the ruins of a 50 billion fortune to the creation of

Shi Yuzhu entrepreneurial history can be divided into two halves from top to bottom - 1997 years ago, a giant and the giant after 1997. Before 1997, most scary, shouting slogans "do China's IBM", rampage, finally defeated. Leave a grassland rampant residential flats, plus several hundred million dollars huge debts. Died once, before we know the taste of death. This is 10 years, Shi Yuzhu cautious, careful, selling Melatonin, investment banking stocks, into online games, in the midst of ruins, the twinkling of an eye refining the more than 500 billion of wealth. Shi Yuzhu why in the second half, "All The President reversed?" Yes, he did master a set of unique housekeeping tips, and to create a few samples for their own arena aspect of "top-level equipment."

Intermission of the insights

Although not new, but still it is necessary to say something about Shi Yuzhu resume before 1997.

Shi Yuzhu, born in 1962 in northern Huaiyuan County in Anhui Province. In 1980, Shi Yuzhu to the county total score first, Mathematics 119 points (out of 120 points) admitted to the achievement Department of Mathematics, Zhejiang University after graduation, assigned to the Anhui Bureau of Statistics, when he was 24 years old. As a result of outstanding, was as the third echelon and sent to Shenzhen University study.

However, after reading graduate students, Shi Yuzhu determined to start his resignation. When he boarded the plane to fly to Shenzhen when the body all the belongings that Dongnuexijie 4,000 yuan, and his efforts to spend 9 months developed the M-6401 Desktop Publishing Printing System.

August 2, 1989, he used newspapers, "Computer World" first hit advertising money to the time difference, with all of the 4,000 yuan made a 8400 yuan of advertising: "M-6401, a historic breakthrough." 13 days later, Shi Yuzhu be deemed to be 15.82 thousand yuan; a month later, 4,000 yuan ads in exchange for return of 100,000 yuan; 4 months, the new ad for his input again earn back 1 million.

This year, Shi Yuzhu had founded the company's idea, he thought: "IBM is an internationally recognized blue giant, I do have to become the company's IBM, would rather use the 'giant' named after the word company."

In July 1991, "giant" implementation of the strategic shift, the headquarters moved from Shenzhen, Zhuhai, "Zhuhai Giant New Technology Company" quick upgrade "Zhuhai Giant Hi-Tech Group," which consists of eight branches. This year, M-6403 Desktop Printing Systems 28000 units were sold, profit 35 million yuan. To July 1993, "Giant Group," a wholly owned subsidiary had grown to 38, second only to the "Stone's" in the country's second largest private high-tech enterprise, with M-6405 Han-cards, Chinese Notebook PC , pen computers, five leading products.

In early 1994, a giant building ground-breaking. This was originally planned to build 18-storey building, in the crowd sought-and leadership were encouraged to keep increasing the height, from 18 layers to 38 layers, 54 layers, 64 layers, finally upgraded to 70 layers, known as China's first high-rise at that time, the investment from 2 billion to 1.2 billion. Shi Yuzhu basically a way of financing and sale of flats fund-raising, raising more than 100 million yuan.

Also in 1994, Shi Yuzhu found that the rapid development of computers, Han had lost the card are necessary, if it continues to engage in software, carry, but rampant piracy, so a portion of their attention to the health care products, brain gold project started.

In 1995, the Giants launched the "three battles", the 12 kinds of health products, 10 kinds of drugs, 10 together with several software market, advertise a million. Shi Yuzhu by "Forbes" as a continent rich 8th place.

Giant Building emergency funds in 1996, Shi Yuzhu decided to health care products in all the funds transferred to a giant building, health care products business due to capital "blood" excessive, coupled with poor management, the rapid ebb. Giant Group perilous. The brain of gold sales of 5.6 billion, but Black has more than 300 million accounts.

In early 1997, a giant building is not completed on schedule, the parties have come creditors, a giant cash flow and complete rupture, the media, "carpet-style" giant reported a financial crisis. Soon, only completed the equivalent of three-story building ground floor lobby of a giant suspension, until now. With the "giants fall," Shi Yuzhu dismal debt of 250 million left in Guangdong, "going north" of anonymity.

……

"At that time was poor, dun creditors, lawsuits, account numbers were all seized."

"The poor are to what extent? Just to the executives with all mobile phones sold to recover the entire company where I was the only one people have mobile phones, we have a very long time did not receive a penny wages."

10 years later, in August 2007, Shi Yuzhu mansion to reporters in Shanghai, Guilin, revived memories of the feelings of the cause of the trough.

Learn his lesson, Shi Yuzhu into hard to myself: what is wrong with me? He was afraid that they think they are not thorough, the newspaper article calling him a chapter and then read, the more criticized them relentlessly to read more and see other people for his failure "diagnosis", but also special organization "internal struggle sessions" so that people around him with the fire.

In a variety of strong medicine of "topical oral administration", the Shi Yuzhu has finally lost a calm, lost the record straight. This carrying a huge debt of 250 million yuan, "China's first negative", completed in 1997, the most significant change in life. This change in turn became his re-emergence, a greater career success "capital."

"It's 10 years, I am always rest on our laurels. If his savings eaten, and I am sure also dangerous."

So, Shi Yuzhu the "capital" What is this?

Shi Yuzhu has set for itself is that the three "iron law";

1, we must always maintain a sense of crisis at all times to beware of the company tomorrow, will suddenly collapse at any time prepare for the worst outcome; 2 shall not be blindly, hastily to diversify their business; 3, allow enterprises to always keep plenty of cash flow.

In addition to Shi Yuzhu there is a greatest achievement, that is, research to understand consumers.

In this regard, Shi Yuzhu the most painful experience.

"February 10, 1995, I issued a 'three battles' of the 'general mobilization order', advertising campaign I have personally presided over the first week smashed the 50 million nationwide advertising costs, to the whole of China is a sensation, and we In the major cities is not a full-page newspaper advertisements, is collapsed version (ie, two full-page together), and bright. "

"May Subsequently an assessment, visibility, and concerned about the degree of both, but the advertising effect is zero, because we do not know what consumers want." In Shi Yuzhu view, this is the starting point for his decline.

"Since the 'three major campaigns' failed, I would develop a habit, who is spending my product, I put him to study thoroughly. A day without studying thoroughly, I'll pain the day."

Venture capital investments plunged last year

Investment by venture capital firms declined last year to its lowest point in more than a decade, according to a report scheduled to be released Friday.

There were 2,795 investments worth $17.7 billion in 2009, a 37 percent decline in dollar value compared with 2008, according to the report from PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association, which analyzed data provided by Thomson Reuters. The number of deals decreased 30 percent.

The Washington area had 117 deals totaling about $540 million for 2009, compared with $985 million the previous year. That level of investment put Washington in the middle of the pack nationally, based on the report's accounting, which divides the country into 19 regions. The Washington area trailed regions such as Los Angeles, the New York metro area and San Diego.

Mark Esposito, director of the emerging company services group at PricewaterhouseCooper, said the findings show that the amount of venture capital investment increased as the year went on. During the first quarter of the year, for instance, there was only $80 million worth of investment in local firms; by the fourth quarter, that number had grown to $163 million.

"Without a doubt, it looks like we hit a trough somewhere in the first half of 2009, both locally and nationally," he said.

Esposito pointed to bright spots on the local scene such as social media development firm LivingSocial, which landed $5 million in investment capital from investors such as Steve Case, and the Rockville-based drug developer Zyngenia, which raised $10 million.

For the Washington area, some of the largest investments last year targeted the software, biotech and telecommunications industries. Software led the pack, with venture capital investments totaling almost $98 million. Biotech firms and telecommunications companies took in $88 million and more than $82 million, respectively.

In a call with reporters on Thursday, PricewaterhouseCoopers partner Danny Wallace said 2009 marked the first year that nationally, the biotech industry nudged past the software industry to grab a larger chunk of investment capital.

Other than that, venture capital activity in the Washington area generally mirrored larger national trends, Esposito said, though he pointed to one growing industry that is not yet well represented in the area. "We didn't see much on the 'clean tech' side here," he said, referring to the movement toward products and technology that help reduce energy consumption. "Most of that continues to be on the West Coast."

At least one local venture capital firm, Walker Ventures, announced last year that it was winding down operations and would not seek to raise a new investment fund.

Founder Steve Walker said at the time that the economic conditions were simply too rough to raise enough investor interest. "This isn't the end of early stage investing," he said, "but it's a time period when that's not something most people want to consider."

Bill Ford a partner in venture tech effort

Bill Ford has teamed with two former Ford Motor employees and others to form a venture capital firm focused on innovative technologies for the transportation industry.

Fontinalis Partners announced its launch and its first investment Friday. The Detroit-based firm, which has an office in Boston, plans to invest in companies "trying to solve the world's most pressing environmental and mobility-oriented problems."

It said Friday that it has invested an undisclosed amount in Atlanta-based Parkmobile USA and its parent company.

Parkmobile provides systems that allow drivers to pay for parking using their cell phones.

Mark Schulz, one of Fontinalis' founding partners and a former president of Ford's international operations, was named Parkmobile's chairman.

Fontinalis did not return telephone calls seeking comment Friday. Bill Ford, Ford's executive chairman, was not available to discuss his new venture.

Besides Ford and Schulz, Fontinalis' founding partners include investment professionals Ralph Booth, Chris Cheever and Chris Thomas, a former Ford employee who worked in the automaker's sustainable business development and treasury departments.

Fontinalis said it is not affiliated with Ford Motor. Mark Truby, a spokesman for the automaker, said Bill Ford informed the company's board about Fontinalis.

Bain Capital Ventures invests in Edgar Online

EDGAR Online Inc., a company that distributes public company filings, announced that it has completed an agreement for Bain Capital Ventures to purchase $12 million worth of convertible Series B preferred stock of the company.

Bain Capital Ventures is the Boston-based venture capital affiliate of Bain Capital.

In a press release, EDGAR Online said it expects to use the newly-secured funding to help grow the company and invest in technology and service innovations.

It's Comeback Time for Venture IPOs

Last year marked the second consecutive year of unusually low numbers of initial public offerings launched by companies owned by venture-capital firms. There were eight such IPOs in 2009, according to data from Dow Jones VentureSource. That amounts to just 15% of the 54 deals that priced, according to Dealogic. The proportion of venture IPOs could be skewed by the small number of deals last year as 2010 is being forecast as a much larger year for new issuance overall.

"Valuations have been getting better, and that's been making that [IPO] channel more attractive [to issuers] than it's been in a long time," says Scott Gehsmann, a global capital-markets partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers.

From the point of view of buyers, the rise of the broader stock market in 2009 meant that existing stocks are coming closer to their fair valuations—making IPOs, which normally are discounted to compensate for investor risk, more attractive. Although venture-backed companies tend to fall into the small- and sometimes mid-cap category of stocks, there is still a universe of buyers out there, including mutual funds, says Greg Ingram, co-head of equity capital markets at Robert W. Baird & Co..

"There are dedicated small-cap buyers that are at the largest institutions on the planet, and they need to buy small-cap names. Attractive small-cap IPOs will be of interest to them," Mr. Ingram says.

Mr. Ingram and others say they are mindful that a prolonged or severe market downturn could change the landscape for IPOs this year.

But even in good market environments, most venture-backed companies prefer to sell outright to a buyer than to go public, says Dan Nova, a general partner at venture-capital firm Highland Capital Partners.

"I think acquisition activity will be at least, if not more, active than the IPO market" for venture capital-backed firms, says Mr. Nova, who believes between 30 and 50 venture-backed IPOs could debut this year.

Right now, VentureSource counts 33 venture-backed companies on file for IPOs with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or half the total 67 deals in the U.S. backlog, according to Dealogic.

Venture into the beginning, they were not satisfied. In their minds there is a bigger picture!

The exciting story of a college student entrepreneurs

Venture Origin

Naturally, the origin of my business comes from the strong desire to desire success, here are talking about the success of the desire comes from three aspects, one aspect I want something from, say, in order to get better living conditions, buy a house, a car faster and get a higher social status, resulting in greater social value, or just want to sleep until he woke up every day, and also lie on a small number will further rise; the other hand, want to escape from the status quo, Like for example we want to get rid of low-paid, out of fatigue life, repeating nine-to-five working destiny do not want the boss or supervisor looked at his face to survive and so on. Final success, or from the desire to return to this society, if the success of my business, I can say that have the ability or strength to give the community some jobs, a sense of ease on the indirect employment of the whole society pressure.

If only I did not start working, and get a life basically changed little, and the modest wage, but also maybe someday will be laid-off unemployed. Therefore, opportunities and risks exist in this society, workers can not guarantee lasting stability, coupled with wage income is difficult to cope with people's increasing buy a house, buy a car like living needs, so many people, especially in a market economy grew up under the influence of young people who want to break down through the young about the world, creating what Foundation.

Entrepreneurial process

Entrepreneurial process it first and foremost an action, remember that a lot of time has been a lot of entrepreneurial ideas, conceived in my mind the vivid, but they suffer from no action, resulting in the so-called good ideas good ideas are useless Therefore, first of all you've got to start operations.

I am2003Entered the Zhejiang Normal University, and almost at the school at the same time, I began to consider the future way out. In recent years, more and more severe employment situation of university students, I have learned computer science in recent sessions of the employment situation of the same is not very good. At that time I had a hunch, I should not Zaiqu walk my sister were former schoolmates who walked the same road to the university, why do you say? Because they are learning through the university courses(Classroom——Library——3.1 Line dormitory life)Or that college students have been way of life, four years later, they still faced with severe work pressure. Well, if I went to take such a route, means that four years later I would be, and they have the same one outcome. So I finally decided I should walk out of school to go out, more contact with this community such a choice.

The second half of freshman year, I encourage the themselves, they began slowly out of the campus, try to reach the community. It should be said that at the time I was very immature, and quite immature. Like they say, like, the school is like pure water, as is so pure, so a single; and the outside society is just like natural water, as is so complex and less intense. Therefore, pure water from the inside, as we came out of troubled waters in the inevitable setbacks, to be injured. Remember I had done a lot of part-time, such as promoters and salesman of the class work. Once outside this community, naturally you will encounter a number of people in society. At that time I met a friend of a friend that asked me to promote an educational software about the English language, after almost an hour of introduction, that person may be a fairly fluent, very attractive. Naturally let me, to face the first real pure elements of this society ready to make trouble, I'll ask my friend:“Then how can I would like to officially to promote this software ah?”That person who said:“This simple, Zhe Meshuai young man like you to promote a more no problem, first of all you need to buy their own set of the first to become members of the company and become a member, you can enjoy all the strength and resources of the team and so on, that time the other members add to the mix you can have so many economic gains”, One so simple and easy, I Erhuameishui, that tomorrow, he said the money hit the account of the Shang Hao. Surprisingly, the last to listen to my analysis of the school a teacher say that they are what MLM organizations ah, now sounds a little chilling ah, though that I have been cheated of1200Dollars, but it gives me the experience and the experience should be said is priceless, as has often been said of the disciples out of the intersection of tuition is what should be normal.

In short, the freshman taken the road of life on campus, there are paid, there are gains, there are happy, but there are also setbacks! It makes me learn how to withstand pressure, how to communicate with others, but also cultivated a certain degree of commercial sensitivity I.

Sophomore, I began to grasp what it meant to mobility? In the freshman campus life for almost a year off, let me have a certain amount of personal connections and social resources, while self-integrated capabilities have been greatly improved. I began to slowly learn to form their own teams to implement the venture is relatively small, and truly their own business ideas are implemented. Remember that it was the beginning of a sophomore Gang Kaixue time, and my heart there is always a feeling that argued that we should do something for this time everyone knows is the school business season, was what they called business opportunities. I was thinking what can I do about it? I would like to do something that is nothing but the nascent market, Mody, while the emerging markets is nothing but also escape from daily necessities, and some consumer goods. Suddenly, I thought such a small start-up projects——Sale of new household items (including electric fans, lamps, telephones, wiring boards, etc.).

At this time, probably many people would say that this project is not very usual do? And the schools around the store a lot of people can get it to you Why should people come here to buy it~? Right! This issue when the time is, I am thinking of! However, I was holding more solutions than problems of such a concept to think about the problem, since this is a difficult project, if I can come up with some way to help him solve it, it does not is not an issue, ah!

Girls Online selling jewelry to explore business opportunities

With Li Qin Beijing Hongqiao Market building sitting near a fast food shop chat. Li Qin built on eBay's jewelryBusiness, The main pearls, the peak season months can reach 40 thousand U.S. dollars in sales, profit is enormous. The 25-year-old girl's "cause" is hard to envy and amazement. She looks more like a student; not good words, unless they are friends, and familiar with. Now, she's men have 67 employees, the company name is "jyxpearl".

The Internet, is such a young man Li Qin built the success of a new arena. Their way of life rich, free and full of dreams. That her "boss" status and the general awareness of the traditional company bosses are very different, theirBusinessSeem more simple simple, do not need to socialize, without too much capital, does not need too much wrist and calculating, more of a reliance on technology and mind,

Chance

In 1999, the 20-year-old Li Qin built from Yichang, Hubei Province came to Beijing. Although Beijing is the chance of some more, but learning to build for the forestry profession Li Qin, looking for a substantial fixed income work is not easy. At that time, the rise of the Internet e-commerce boom, Li Qin built the first job, her life into a completely different trajectory.

Li Qin built into a web based e-commerce company, is responsible for some background work, such as the organization of courses, statistics students, collect fees, and training of auxiliary work. Li Qin began to build this access to the Internet. By the winter of 2001, with the dot-com bubble burst, the concept of e-commerce has also been popular, to spend money to join the class participants learn the concept of e-commerce less and less, the company and others, like the thousands of Internet companies face closure . Shareholders of the company, is one of the teachers taught e-commerce courses, plate down the company, with Li Qin Jian, including several of the students began to try to actually do business online.

Li Qin Jian, began to study the world through eBay sales of Chinese products. The company started to build a three accounts, selling products to three main categories: Chinese carpets, jewelry, and Distressed clocks. In 2001, eBay to sell products with Chinese characteristics, not people in moreBusinessSo it is easier to do more profitable. For jewelry business, Li Qin Jian, gradually learned a lot of online marketing techniques. "In fact, the involvement of E-commerce is very simple, we should first registered on eBay, anyone can register; followed by eBay sell anything you need to authenticate the identity of the need to run an international credit card, VISA card, if there is Cye. com.cn Beijing accounts, a few hundred dollars can be, and the threshold is very low. But now the online sales are not as in previous years, competition has been very intense, in order to do well, first product to have other people do not have advantages, the same the product less the same time, the characteristics of products to be suitable for online sales, the price would also be very advantageous. "
Solo

As the barriers to entry is low, done two years later, Li Qin Jian ponder, is not it can even act as your own boss?

2003 in June, when Li Qin Jian reflect on the need to do if they were prepared to go it alone, she's a good friend is also the intention. This friend is a former colleague Li Qin built specifically responsible for dealing with the supplier, the two hit it off, set up the company.

They learned the previous company in a few lessons. Online competition is becoming increasingly fierce, before Li Qin built a company where the bulk of goods has failed to do enough, the price there is no advantage; not have their own products, there is no designer, pickup inconvenient, but also through theAgentChannel layers of exploitation, get rid of taxes, profit margins are very small.

They chose the company's address next to the Hongqiao market, this belt is Beijing, as well as pearl jewelry famous seafood distribution center in Beijing, a lot of "foreigners" like coming here to buy stuff. Fixed them with a jewelry factory established contacts with manufacturers relying on product quality assurance, as well as designers, but only need to pick up the next floor, trip on it. Now, this 50% of manufacturers of products sold by Li Qin built the network they Cye.com.cn completed. Jewelry sales, requires a certain expertise, such as identification. Of course, simple and intuitive identification of pearl, Li Qin Jian said with a smile, "I can be of." However, there are a lot of jewelry purchase greater risk. The manufacturers with the regular stable relationship, Li Qin built the risks in this regard to the manufacturers who pass. In addition, Europe and the U.S. jewelry market, the design is very valued, perhaps because of some common materials, design has become a high social status.

In addition to the design of factories, and now Li Qin built there are some clever and deft hands of the young girl responsible for the design and production. Li Qin built in the office, the large half of the table is a computer, half filled with all kinds of pearl gem material, some young girl is progressing according to customer requirements working towards.

Distribution near the Hongqiao pearl market, only one by Li Qin Jian eBay, Alibaba and its own Web site marketing; There is also a built have their own web sites for a fixed customer inquiries and orders. Li Qin Jian most like to say is: the network of energy is no limit.

"Our immediate plan is to take part in more foreign Jewelry Show. Next plan is to open branches in foreign countries have their own stores, and then develop moreAgentBusiness. I recruited a good girl, two English, specializing in online search directory of suppliers abroad, jewelry, hoping to get in touch with them. Because foreign countries are also a lot of jewelers purchase from China. "Li Qin Jian has a greater vision and plans.
Tips for making money on the network

Li Qin built lives, it seemed very nice, but has its own shop, time freedom, do not seem to need to spend too much energy. But she says they are "natural life of toil," because her dream is not just earning tens of thousands of dollars a month that simple. "The Internet is really too large amount of information, opportunities are also many, if you want to always be endless. My way of life is not as easy to imagine it. Have to keep the Cye.com.cn replaced with new products, shoot pictures, writing product descriptions, search providers, advertising on the network, must spend a lot of time. After a long time, you can slowly come to understand some of the details of techniques, such as the time on the goods is very important to make use of foreign the time difference, and widen the gap between other domestic competitors; the price to pull grades, and the pricing of goods which are not to make money in order to attract customers and what is money, and should be considered clear enough; Another example is holiday promotions, which are suitable for make a gift to give as gifts, choose what kind of packaging to attract customers, are important. "

Selling abroad, most do not know what fear is that the causes of goods by customs buckle. On one occasion, a customer would like to set up a pearl necklace as a birthday gift for his mother, the date is approaching but have not received goods. Customers are very angry, sent e-mail query. Li Qin Jian although do not know why, but soon another one necklace courier to the customer. Later, I learned that the other side of the Customs seizure of objects inspected a few days after a client has received two necklaces, very moved, to send them to an intact, but also became the Li Qin built and old customers. Li Qin Jian acknowledge one's ownBusinessBeen very shun. Occasionally see some colleagues in eBay's account has been closed, and do not know the reason. She said that on eBay have corresponding rules of the game, as long as the detailed understanding of and compliance, risk is not great.

Now, Li Qin built to such a very young age, do not rely on after graduation to work as laborers, but by the network to doBusinessA minority of young people, some of them are in school students. Many of them a month to earn 12 million dollars is difficult. Li Qin Jian also agreed, saying: "Indeed, for me, I think this number is too easy to earn."

80 seven years after the girls how to earn 10 million

The text in the "I" is an excellent post-80 girl, a typical business commando. She set seven years, his wealth world, by virtue of what?

I am an entrepreneur who is also aTradePeople, the current chairman of RT Co. engaged in the field of toysTradeEasy and cooperation. Seven years, I have been in this fall Paqi received such a sentiment: Entrepreneurship andTradeLike a cliff jump, or you would pieces at the bottom; or you fall in the process forcing his wings!

Seven years ago, I was only 21-year-old girl film, just graduated from university a share of the Beijing Institute of a very good unit. Coworkers looked complacent, lazy mixed day, Yiyewumian, like the night, the next day handed in his resignation letter to the leadership, with a backpack left the envy of all the units started my way south . AtCantonI met a business partner in the first one seriously, he and I had a rented homes, began an arduous road of entrepreneurship. And a host of entrepreneurs, like hard but full of hope. Fearless we choose to explore international markets and carry out technical research for the U.S. and European markets, and market research.

However, when we have completed a time when technological research, but found that we had no financial resources to support the industrialization of the technology. But when I tried to peer through the Internet industry's leading multinational ties, even pleasantly surprised to find that: these multinational corporations chiefs flew to the mainland even have to cooperate with us on the negotiations.

This is more than a few years after the negotiations, will now write a few points to share with you, hoping to help.

First, employ a prodding tactic how to use?

Initially, I too need a successful collaboration to bring development to the company funds and related resources, it is still to prove their strength. While these multinational companies have expressed their intention to cooperate, but all of its own leisurely pace to run the company do things, but deliberately drive down prices. A start I have no experience in negotiation. Decided to use employ a prodding tactic - to the A company's CEO sent a letter to the wording of a tough, generally expressed the meaning of: Technically, we are definitely the world's leading, you can not find in the country's second such team . We did not accept a price you can not achieve this partnership, because we have talks with B Company.

Surprisingly, the CEO simply ignore this set in his reply that:

Thank you, your company is currently still very small at present do not have the relevant qualifications, such as the future you are interested to contact me again. You get VC investment in the future, if the funds are also needed to explore different cooperation programs.

After receiving this letter, I realize that in the negotiations have already lost, I've blocked their escape route, my conditions are not likely to open lower; If we are going to see the CEO, then the proof of our will appear certain problems. This is more likely to feel that we have started from the other side is sky-high claims, will also be controlled by others, while the other side is still left for themselves to continue to explore the possibility of cooperation, move forward and attack, retreat and defend. That employ a prodding tactic in the case of inappropriate self-defeating.
Second, whether the show should have a government background?

The first lesson of negotiations failed to give me a second success of the negotiations, two months later, with another one famous foreign companies to negotiate, in order to persuade him to become our channel business in the United States, I used the company had just acquired support government investment as a weight. This time, however, talks like a go down the drain each other a long time did not respond. I very much wonder, the whole pace of the negotiations are in my grasp, and I am the talks decent manners, but also to advance and retreat has left himself enough room, why not the other has become interested in it?

Later, I tried many times through e-mail and international long-distance communication with each other can be still interested in each other's lack natural. There is no explicit reason, nor that it would not cooperate, but that this year will work with our co-operation is not included in the program. A two-month long wait, baffled. And subsequently did not stop negotiations on cooperation with other companies, including a CEO Joseph, who is Chinese-American. After a contact, I have seen that his own confusion, I hope he can help me analyze why. Min hear that he ran, the original foreign enterprises attach great importance to free competition, they believe that the ability to market itself. In some large enterprises to do with foreign trade negotiations, Do not say you have a government background, otherwise foreign companies will think you are hampering the principle of free competition, but refused to cooperate with you. OneTradePeople show off their own government background, it is also right in himself and his products are not self-confidence.

2007, China's toy market, a dejected, August 2 and 14, the world's largest toy maker Mattel Inc. (Mattel Inc.) Has recalled 967,000 children's toys and 18 million toy products, the cause of the incident is the paint used on toys for excessive lead content (4900ppm), and the foundry company in China, Foshan Lida Toy Co., Ltd. has been halted and that products are AQSIQ banned from export. Events caused by the international toy market for "Made in China" quality of suspicion and even fear. The Chinese government also introduced a very stringent measures to control and rectify. Many toy factories and enterprises have closed down close. For a time, in order to OEM export-oriented Chinese toy industry, there have been many depression picture.

This event so that we negotiate with foreign investors, also under immense pressure, facing each other's questions and concerns, we have come up with its own advantages - to ensure high levels of the same time adjusting their prices downward. Both at home and abroad of China toy industry painted a bad image, when the announcement for our high-profile toy into the foreign market, foreign investors have a different view. In the negotiations, although we have concerns, but after we have repeatedly demonstrated the scientific test data and open effective communication. Eventually they signed with our long-term cooperation agreement.

China's toy market Chuge four when the lies stop and fight for our own choices. Government background and can not be a bargaining chip in negotiation and cooperation, one relied on excellent product quality, perfect after-sales service, market-leading high-tech level.
Third, even if only "garage" strength ought to be honest

Large companies looking for foreign partners, it is often carried out examination and approval system at various levels. Generally representative of the Asia Pacific region over the first inspection, before making a decision. Early nask companies that want to visit the United States when I was very excited for a while. But then again anxious, because the small size of our company, we are worried that the size and qualification problems are not the final the other due respect. Time, however, too late, we can only use the existing office to carry out reception.

To examine the evidence in the New York Stock Exchange of a United States representative in Hong Kong (senior manager). Since there was no financial resources to support, we simply place our office (1 homes) clean clean up a bit, as we meet with clients. Upon arrival, the other, to our products and technologies, much appreciated. However, in the other side go to the bathroom when an embarrassing thing happened - our office is very simple renovation of toilets, resulting in flushing, when so much is the other twists and turns, a long time before the toilet toss out, came out got angry.

Later, I accompanied the representative Quwang also a partner company. On the way, the representative of our office environment is too simple, and if they had had come to visit negotiations in the hope that we can have a good point of business negotiating forum. But our products and technologies is still very competitive, he still would recommend us to become their technology partner in this field.

In the other company's CEO over the negotiations, we are in Beijing, the bustling business in a business meeting session of the rented rooms. The other side with the old America Asia-Pacific CEO, president and CMO come together, we in the business do not have any problems receiving. But I still honestly tell each other we are in start-up phase, and now the conference room is rented in order to respect them. Meeting of the placid, both in this emphasis on their respective advantages. The United States said that the annual number of products they market, with annual sales in number of billon, I emphasize that our technological superiority is a leading worldwide. But the real intention to cooperate, the other side did not give clear-cut. They proposed to visit our R & D labs.

I have no alternative but to bring them into our R & D labs (a garage), the real embarrassing thing happened: because of our chairs were bought in the wholesale market, the quality is not very good, the CEO's and is in wide-body part of the body fat type, when he sat down, when a butt and called us to sit in chairs scattered planes, and he fell to the ground.
When I thought these would destroy the results of our talks, I have found that the CEO's interest early in the negotiations than we even higher. His visit with interest to our more than 100 square meters of a small room on our DEMO product specific and detailed inquiries on our products appreciation for me. So that our surprise is that he should immediately signed a one-BO. In the evening to go to bars to celebrate, the CEO, and we talk about his experience in business 12 years ago, and the history of his garage business miss ... ... he said that our honest and let him feel at ease.

The details of the negotiations is important, but more people respect the quality of business integrity. The quality of the integrity of the integrity of the brand created, if we are not in the business hall talks frankly say so, the other party during a visit to R & D laboratories at the Cye.com.cn should have apprehensions. Small scale is not our reason for the inferiority complex, because when the other flew to China and we went all the way negotiations, must be extremely good faith with the past, but also carried out in advance a full investigation, we have no reason to be dishonest. Proved, the primitive R & D laboratories, lame chairs are not blocking the opponent's sign list determination. It is our honest they were quite pragmatic.

Garlic has become cash cow, and many lay people are envious

Support Jinxiang hot market, and the rising price of garlic. Chinese garlic network survey, this year's garlicDistributionThe average price of commercial warehousing 1.5 per catty to 1.8 yuan. With garlic this month, a new listing,DistributionProviders are expected shortly, garlic prices will not fall below 4 yuan per catty, coupled with cold weather and warehousing freight costs, garlic can also be longer on the afternoon the price floor.

Garlic has become the money-spinner, not onlyDistributionMakers this year, earning pours, and many lay people are envious of them, have joined the ranks of garlic transactions. Our reporter met a sum earned by 50 million truck drivers.

Compared to last year's price low, the current wholesale price of dried garlic has gone up 40 times, but the transaction is continuing hot garlic. Quotes in this wave, not only those who do hold a few hundred tons, thousands of tonnes of stock traders made huge profits, and even a lot of ordinary people who do not have the kind of capital has also spotted opportunities for a share of a cup of soup. He told Liu was originally just a truck driver, is responsible for pulling cargo to the garlic processing plant earlier this year, he heard the news of garlic prices will rise, has decided to participate in one.

Liu Jun, truck drivers: "For this year, and the prices can also be, in the past garlicBusinessBad dry, this year, they often do is to save a little, want to relatives, friends, house mortgage loans, so loan-to deposit a little part of the money. "
Reporter: "How much loan money, by how much?"

Liu Jun: "borrowed about 40 million per."

After the patchwork of 400,000 yuan, Liu 2 yuan per catty about to buy 300 tons of garlic, a few months later, these garlic's total jumped from 400,000 yuan to 96 yuan, Liu hands a sell, after the payment of all arrears, but also a net earned 50 million yuan.

Liu Jun, truck drivers: "To sell now, it should earn more, earn more money, a 10 to 10000, and now is basically to achieve four fast, and better quality, better close to four."

Now, although still dry the truck drivers work, but Liu different varieties of garlic on the quality and Quotes are basically well known. He told reporters that he also intends to continue to invest in next year's garlic.

Liu Jun, truck driver: "I am a house installment loans, and then the money to pay off the house, taking into account next year, do a little better to do, slowly come to citizenship."

Reporter: "Next year the price is not necessarily so Well?"

Liu Jun: "Well next year's visit to the market, to the land which is probably how a small amount, the plan to themselves to inspection."

Garlic behind the price spikes if there hype?

After listening to Liu garlicBusinessThe may be that people will echocardiography. In fact, in this market, people like him who holds several hundred thousand dollars into the market, and fairly a minor, a more substantial amount of money yet to come. Sources said that at present there are 50 million yuan of hot money into the north of Wenzhou garlic market, along with the owner of coal resources in Shanxi have also continuously flock to garlic market.

Has been tepid garlic, suddenly became the object of speculation in all kinds of competing funds, which should be resting in the past I am afraid that not everyone would like. Trading of agricultural products on the market either, the demand for more agricultural products than either garlic, garlic can be Why is this sudden price spikes, but also touched the hearts of so many sensitive nerve? Let's find out.

Li Jingfeng, Shandong Jinxiang Garlic Association, he told us this year, reasons for this are hard to find a balance situation, mainly because of supply and demand relationship has changed.


Shandong province Jinxiang Garlic Association, Huaguang Group Chairman Li Jingfeng: "Because in 2008, due to the increase in the general area of garlic cultivation, resulting in oversupply the market, so that farmers and the middleDistributionThere are commercial exporters in varying degrees by the very large losses, in this case, that the people of the kinds of garlic to reduce a lot of enthusiasm, so say, garlic acreage was reduced by 30%. "

Reduction in acreage this year's garlic makes a sharp decline in output, largely pushed up the price of garlic. Subsequently, the influenza outbreak spread worldwide, because people generally believe that garlic can be sterilization, disinfection, enhance the body immunity, and can even prevent infection in a stream, which rise in the price of garlic has played a role in fueling.

Shandong province Jinxiang Garlic Association, Huaguang Group Chairman Li Jingfeng: "In 2003 when the SARS virus, the soaring price of garlic appeared in such a situation, especially this year from the International Comparison of wide range of influenza A , international demand is also a general increase in garlic, which is the price of garlic that is one reason for the rising. "

November 16, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chinese Medical Association, Zhong Nanshan, of the folklore of the "eat garlic anti-A Stream" was carried out to respond, he said that garlic does have the role of bacteria, but there is not enough evidence A stream of garlic have a preventive effect. However, Zhong Nanshan's remarks, and Members did not contain the momentum of rising prices garlic, at present, the retail price of garlic all over the country are already a breakthrough is basically 4 yuan per catty, in some places even more than the price of garlic pork, to catty 5.5 yuan. During our visit, found that garlic prices not only reduced the area under cultivation and the spread of the epidemic a stream. At the China International Futures Brokerage Co., Ltd., specializes in agricultural futures researcher DU Qing-Qing, told reporters in the past year, an analysis of the price of garlic, it can be concluded that the garlic was definitely hype behind the price spikes.

China International Futures Brokerage Co., a researcher DU Qing-Qing: "Like last year, including producer prices can be seen growing, one kilogram of about a dollar or so, then this is not due to the impact of financial crisis, the area under cultivation has decreased, prices of other fertilizers, electricity the price is not rising, and I think this part of the total share of relatively small, so that from the cultivation of the cost of this concept is concerned, the current prices so high, there is a definite bubble, you want to rise for at least 40 times, up from more than ten times, several times the bubble is not small. "

Reporter: "yes there are still factors that speculation?"

DU Qing-Qing: "Yes, there are some elements of speculation."

In Jinxiang village of the South sub-market stores, reporters learned that, although the price of garlic has been several times higher than last year, but theDistributionOperators are in no hurry to shot, there was a purchase of the business came from Shenzhen to switch a long time had not found people who are willing to ship.
Reporter: "Do you want to buy goods?"

Shenzhen businessman: "Yes."

Reporter: "Then you have to find the target?"

Shenzhen businessman: "Can not find, they do not want to sell."

Reporter: "You are in the hands of cargo it?"

GarlicDistributionBusiness: "there, who have."

Reporter: "How many in your hand?"

GarlicDistributionBusiness: "There is a few hundred tonnes."

Reporter: "willing to sell it?"

GarlicDistributionBusiness: "Now Cheap No, small cargo had to rise."

Reporter: "How much you sell it?"

GarlicDistributionBusiness: "It can not say to not work when land prices are also sold, and now looking at going to go up, so do not sell."

Reporter: "Do you think it will be risen to how much money?"

GarlicDistributionBusiness: "4 up."

The seller of the mouth of the four up, referring to the wholesale price of garlic, while the current wholesale price of Jinxiang garlic is 3.5,3.6 yuan, in his view is much room for appreciation in the south shop sub-market, and his like-minded have a lot of people. Not only that, the reporter on the ground have also learned that when the price of garlic all the way up, and some garlic, a large number of companies have started hoarding goods reluctant sellers.

Shandong province Jinxiang Garlic Association, Huaguang Group Chairman Li Jingfeng: "This means that less as a main reason for disturbing the people involved in this part of the garlic provides a profitable opportunity, so they are not only not to sell, but also In the rush to save some of the funds voted garlic. "

Wang Aiguo is also a garlicDistributionProviders, from the beginning of this year, he and several friends started buying a lot of garlic, the current inventory on hand has been very impressive.

Reporter: "This year you are a few people engage in, and now keep the number of goods?"

GarlicDistributionShang Wang patriotic: "This year, we came up with 4,5 personal 2000 tons."

Wang Aiguo of garlic are placed in local expertise of cold storage of garlic, the quarter, down 250 yuan per ton required to pay the cost of 2000 tons of cash, Wang Aiguo as long as one shot will be able to make more than 700 million, but he would prefer to to the cold storage to continue to pay storage fees, no hurry to ship.

GarlicDistributionShang Wang patriotism: "This thing is one such market discipline, the more there is to buy up more, as we all wait, but now the whole (DRC Township) Garlic is concerned, Gouxiaoliangwang everyone is selling, sell nor less. "

Reporter: "You This is a few?"

GarlicDistributionShang Wang patriotic: "I am a recently would also like to come forth, until a good price."

Such as the King is not only a patriotic local merchants, many foreign businessmen, have been engaged in other industries, a look at fried garlic profitable, also rushed from.

GarlicDistributionShang Wang patriotic: "There is engaged in real estate, a look at the real estate prices last year, no, look at a comparison of garlic to make money, prices soared, they come up with the money to invest in this garlicBusiness, There are also some that invest in Garlic FlakesBusinessOn. "

We can see that tight supply and rising market prices for these Jinxiang garlicDistributionShen put the situation this year, exceptionally gas supplier. May, in their view, as long as the price of garlic and then not go on forever, on hand corner of the garlic is a golden doll will continue to inflate. Their psychology is actually typical of speculation, chase sell into, as long as no one will not be easily shipped prices, hoarding, further price increases. So, Suannong but also from the number assigned to the wave of market speculation "cake"?
Garlic will always be a "noble dishes" do?

We have seen earlier, despite the Academician Zhong Nanshan has been said, there is bactericidal effect of garlic does not mean that it can control a stream, but that does not impede the market through rumors and speculation continue to garlic. And former or even a few cents more than the price of a few cents a pound now worth garlic has been changed several times in.

We are from Shandong Jinxiang garlic was found on the market, manyDistributionGarlic retail providers and speculation, in this year's wave of Quotes on the trace and hand in a few months, earning hundreds of thousands or even millions. They are in short supply garlic from the body receivedProfits, That garlic does it mean that this year farmers should earn more? Let us now take a look at Suan Nong benefits.

Wang Yu Wang Tong Village Development Zone, is Jinxiang village, she told reporters, garlic this year, prices rose 2,000 yuan per mu to be able to net income, although the relativeDistributionHundreds of thousands of business at every turn, millions of profits, this money is negligible, but as an ordinary farmer, he was very satisfied.

Wang Tong Village Development Zone, Wang Jinxiang village Jade: "Similar to previous years, more than pretty good, from the beginning to the kinds of garlic, do not have this price range. Very satisfied, good enough."

Turning to this year's soaring prices of garlic, Wang Yuqing, and not the excitement that we had imagined, he told us that his family has 8 acres of land are all kinds of garlic, each of his eight acres of land to be invested in this great time and money costs of .

Wang Tong Village Development Zone, Wang Jinxiang village Jade: "(each mu of land) from fertilizer to plastic sheeting to planting garlic, medicine, the entire watering was 1000 yuan."

Per mu in need of input-thousand dollars, eight acres of land that is eight thousand dollars, but in 2008, due to a substantial increase in acreage and production, garlic is not on the sell price, the lowest with just a few cents a pound, in 2008, Wang Yu-an years of hard work on the whole failed to be implemented.

Wang Tong Village Development Zone, Wang Jinxiang village Jade: "Last year (an acre of land earned) 700,800 dollars, that is, a fertilizers enough money to light the cost of fees, labor is not contributed to."

Because garlic can only be sold for a few cents per catty, even some of the road freight far enough, some farmers simply to pile up a lot of garlic and let it rot in the ground.

Wang Tong Village Development Zone, Wang Jinxiang village Jade: "all, some get it back exclusion in (Hom) the middle, are also excluded into that pit."

At that time, after witnessing a scene like this, like Wang Yu-Suan Nong such sentiments are low, many people have switched to growing the original land of garlic planted wheat, cotton and other crops, resulting in Jinxiang garlic acreage substantially reduced. Interview, the reporter learned that the price is gratifying to see this year's garlic, a lot of garlic Suannong has been also expanding its acreage. 2010 King Township, only one county acreage will be expanded by 10%.

GarlicDistributionShang Wang Patriotic: "The whole village is a perennial plant of gold 60 mu, a look around, all kinds of garlic to make money, so the expansion of cultivated area, for example,JiangsuThe Pizhou, Laiwu, Shandong, Henan, etc. Zhongmu are these places, the area planted acreage of major production areas are expanding. "

Jinxiang Garlic Association, Li Jingfeng, however, told reporters that the expansion of cultivated area is likely to result in lower prices next year's garlic.

Shandong province Jinxiang Garlic Association, Huaguang Group Chairman Li Jingfeng: "Planting garlic is relatively low tech, it is this price with the trends and changes in wave-shaped, sometimes cultivated area has decreased, the price will go up, planting it will increase the size of the cut, so that it will bring about another wave of garlic lowered the price. "

How fair treatment skyrocketing price of garlic

I note that the data provided prior to Jinxiang said, after garlic price slump in 2008, after their acreage this year, down 30%, but no one dreamed that this year garlic prices suddenly soared up again, it appears that change kinds of wheat, cotton farmers still did not catch this wave of market, no prices on the back of garlic from last year's loss.

Let me be more worried about or what happened to these farmers for next year. Seeing garlic prices, not only Jinxiang, and even some parts of the provinces have expanded in area planted garlic, garlic Quotes if the 2010 really soared after the crash occurred, Suannong are likely to encounter once they get done, like in 2008 heavy losses. Right now it is imperative to get the market to curb the excessive speculation of garlic to prevent price shocks hurt the interests of farmers.

DU Qing-Qing told reporters, garlic price fluctuations will not only damage the enthusiasm of farmers, for those who wish to aid customers in terms of investments intended to make money, but also means that no small risk.

China International Futures Brokerage Co., Ltd. researcher DU Qing-Qing: "When the price is relatively high, people will reduce the demand for the purchase, so late as to reduce demand and prices have risen so far off, I do not expect."
Reporter: "It will come down?"

DU Qing-Qing: "Yes, there will be a sign of decline."

DU Qing-Qing analysis, for those price spikes and exceeded reasonable limits of agricultural products, though not all, like wheat, corn and other agricultural products, as the establishment of purchasing and storage system, when needed stabilize market prices, it is necessary to establish a mechanism to avoid price fluctuations.

China International Futures Brokerage Co., Ltd. researcher DU Qing-Qing: "Then, later may be a time when other commodities rising, but also the establishment of purchasing and storage system, which I think can set up a small piece of vegetable-based, for example, it does not establish a central inventory, then I can build some provincial, prefecture-level city, a government to regulate. "

DU Qing-Qing also said that such a dish similar to garlic smaller varieties of agricultural products, in order to avoid speculation and other factors caused a tremendous impact on the prices of the key, or through electronic transactions, and ways to enhance the transparency of transactions. In fact, the garlic Jinxiang garlic providers have begun to try to futures trading, on the mid-November of this year, Wang Aiguo and his severalBusinessOn a partner, set up an international Jinxiang garlic Exchange, through a web trading platform allows registered users to be able, as the sale of stock as the sale of garlic, garlic in place of the previous price of the agreed bargaining model of relying on verbal.

China International Futures Brokerage Co., Ltd. researcher DU Qing-Qing: "The introduction of an electronic transaction, such as purchasing and storage market has a garlic electronic transactions, similar to the futures, then the sale of our common here, then reached a common recognition on the market price,

And we all do, then the price of a transparent market, during which it has relatively very reasonable. "

DU Qing-Qing also stressed that the introduction of electronic trading is a very good attempt, but it must be established as well as the futures delivery system, otherwise, alone virtual trading network on the market, it is easy to attract hot money malicious speculation.

China International Futures Brokerage Co., Ltd. researcher DU Qing-Qing: "This recognition of the price of it rely on protection, rely on our delivery system to delivery after the expiration of the seller to go to delivery, the buyer going to pay, especially if the price is speculation high, also said it might be there is more than short squeeze Cye.com.cn phenomenon, then this time may produce neither side gains and many short squeeze, short reach of goods, he could only in the spot market or futures market or any other breach of contract , the spot market buyers and sellers pushing prices is particularly high, at this time if he received the goods if the spot market price was so low, he is also a loss, this delivery system has led to long-term futures price comparison fair, Or more in line with the recognition of such a market, so this system is better. "

A half-hourObservation:

2009 skyrocketing garlic, reminds me of the 2007 surge of pork. Then soaring meat prices had also attracted funds separate ways to follow up, and even diverted to real estate was built in the pen. However, the market price bubble will soon set off on a pig enthusiasm wiped out, and separated by only less than two years, this year's meat prices, and then down to 2007 starting point. Change transmigration between the loss is the worst pig farmers. The establishment of agricultural pricing mechanism for the Chinese economy has not a new topics. As a large agricultural country, agricultural price system has been so much chaos in the economic interests of the farmers lack of security, they are just like a leaf boat drift along with the market storms is neither light nor buoy navigational map, is always in a weak position, and truly never take away most of the profits or those whoDistributionBusiness. And this information asymmetry, and gave provided an opportunity for speculation, the market is not a clear price signals, can only be based on various rumors fits and starts. Pork spike has given us a profound lesson I hope will not become a second case of garlic.
