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.
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.

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."
