Wuxi in December is getting colder and colder, and winter is approaching, just like my mood at the moment. Tucked away in the bed, scrolling through the movie and TV series bored. Looking at Wuxi outside the window is really strange. Living alone in this unfamiliar city is always not so satisfactory. Perhaps the adult's anxiety is really silent. Just like what Su Xun said: "Taishan landslide ahead and the color remains unchanged, and the elk is on the left without blinking."
At this time, the computer at hand popped up " produced by Shaw Brothers, it must be a boutique" pop-up window. . Shaw...Shaw, think about Shaw's life. Isn't that the kind of person Su Xun said.
Run Run Run Shao was formerly known as Shao Ren Leng. was born in Zhenhai, Ningbo, Zhejiang province in in 1907. was 107 years old, and is the longest CEO in the world. ranks sixth in and at home. It is called "Shao Laoliu". After came to Hong Kong, people called him "Uncle Six" . After all, all his success and efforts are obvious to all.
Run Run Run's family originally started development in Shanghai. After all, Shanghai was a prosperous big city when it was in old China, and it was the world's important economic center at that time. At that time, Hong Kong had not yet developed and its economic level was far behind Shanghai.
Shao Yifu's father, Shao Yuxuan, was the owner of a well-known paint shop in Shanghai at that time, and operated a paint brand named "Jin Taichang". was quite famous in Shanghai at that time. The Shao family was also a big family at the time. Even when business was good, took down a theater called "Laughing Stage". revenue has doubled. However, the good times are not long, the pigment business is getting worse and worse, and Shaw's "Jin Taichang" is getting worse and worse.
Tong Hua once said, "Sometimes it seems to be a dilemma, maybe it's just like a spider weaving a web. The spider forms a web and seems to trap itself in the center of the web, but the last thing that is bound by the web is the butterfly flying around." The decline of
's family environment is the spider webs encountered by the Shaw brothers. What is gratifying is that they have become spiders galloping freely in the webs instead of trapped butterflies.
Until 1923, Shaw's family business also became more and more declining with the death of his father. At that time, there was only one house left in all of the Shao family's family business and the "Laughing Stage" , which had long since decayed, the Qi Theater.
, but also this seemingly inconspicuous little theater, became the key to Shaw's revival.
Run Run Run was still a kid who had just graduated from middle school. It is said that without the bone-chilling cold, there is no plum blossom fragrant.
has experienced the ups and downs of his family business, decided to start working hard with his brothers. Run Run Run, who was still scented, saw the people around playing martial arts and on the street, and he thought that if could turn the "laughing stage" into a laughing "wu" stage, would it change.
The Shaw brothers used the determination to fight to the death, sold the only remaining house. also put all the savings from selling the house into the "laughing stage". Even the whole family moved into the "Laughing Stage".
Fortunately, they won the bet. When
succeeded in turning into a "Laughing Wutai" on the "Laughing Stage", the play on the stage became more and more exciting, and there were more and more people in the audience. seems to be everything as everyone thinks, slowly getting better. The Shaw Brothers seem to be uncomfortable with the status quo. This is what may be the backbone of successful businessmen. is always good at observing all kinds of business opportunities, always has advanced thinking, and seizes business opportunities in advance.
At in the 1920s, they found that movies seemed particularly popular. As long as there are projectors, there will always be people in circles, "Laughing Stage" has also become a "Laughing Theater". has an endless stream of people coming every day. So the brothers pooled together money to buy a video camera, planning to shoot the movie themselves. The four brothers take turns as directors and producers. has no money to hire actors, family and friends are actors. Earning more and more money, they later established the "Tianyi Film Company".
In 1924, , "Being a Buddha on the Ground" , edited and directed by the Shaw Brothers, was born. And was a big success, althoughThis is not China's first silent film, but it is a feature film made entirely by Chinese. In 1931, the Shaw Brothers filmed China's first sound film "Song Field Spring" , which can sound on the film. This was a big news at the time. But because of this, Shaw Brothers has many enemies in Shanghai Pictures.
So the Shaw brothers sent Run Run and their third brother to Nanyang to promote their film industry. The process is very difficult. Because at that time rich people all went to study abroad in the West, and academics would go to study in the East when they thought about it. Then Nanyang is where the poorest people in Fujian and Guangdong are located.
Shaw and his brother are not afraid of hardships, carries the projector, and has gone to every small village in Nanyang. The effort paid off, and the brothers finally made a career in Nanyang, . Before the beginning of the War of Resistance, there were already more than one hundred movie theaters and a large theater company.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Shaw brothers went to Hong Kong to develop . Shaw Brothers Co., Ltd., a leader in the film industry, was established. Run Run Shaw also married his beloved woman Huang Meizhen. After that, the amount of production produced by Shaw Films has increased, and the content of movies is also worth learning for those filmmakers who only care about quantity but not quality.
Run Run Shaw, who was fairly smooth all the way, ushered in a small bottleneck in his life.
In 1964, the eldest son of Run Run Shao Weiming was kidnapped near his Singapore residence. At that time, Run Run Shaw was watching the sample when he received the kidnapper's call. He only asked the kidnapper if his son was injured, and whether could be used to solve with money. When he got a positive reply, he hung up the phone and continued to watch the samples. The staff at
looked at Run Run Shaw who was watching the sample in shock, and asked him suspiciously: "Doesn't I need to pause the film?" Unexpectedly, Run Run said: The child was not injured, indicating that the kidnapper’s purpose was only money. . Since it can be solved with money, it means that is not a big problem.
In the whole incident, Run Run seemed to be an outsider, and didn't care. Although he paid the kidnappers a high ransom, the child was successfully rescued. But the performance of this outsider can't help but feel that Shaw is really indifferent to family affection . Soon after, the second son was kidnapped.
During this period of time, various rumors about Run Run Shaw regardless of his relatives lingered in the sky of Shaw Corporation for a long time.
later reported that Shaw Shaw actually followed his brother Shao Renmei with his children as soon as they were born. Father and son rarely meet. The reason is that children are easily spoiled by their parents. Go to Hong Kong alone to work hard.
makes people feel that he is a ruthless workaholic.
until Shaw’s children came to Hong Kong to participate in Shaw’s work and held shares, and then Shaw’s two sons of lived in Singapore, where managed the commercial buildings and residences under the Shaw family. No interest in taking over his father's film and television empire. As his father, Run Run also fully respected their opinions. These rumors are self-defeating. The
incident caused mixed praise and criticism for Shaw Shaw. Some people said that he was a ruthless workaholic with no family in his eyes; some people said, if not, Shaw Shaw is so calm and determined to . Nor will there be such a high achievement.
Facts have proved that Run Run Run's behavior is correct. After all, when it comes to Hong Kong film and television circles, I have to mention him . , the famous figure of Hong Kong TVB, Run Run Shaw . The reason for the success of
Run Run Shaw is of course inseparable from his own efforts. Watching the movie every day, any unexpected situation will not interrupt him. This is why the previous "cold-blooded workaholic" appeared. If does not have such a day and night screening of videos. "Shao Shi produces, must be a fine product" , this sentence, will not be so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It can be seen that as long as people have made achievements, they can't do without the word "bitter "
Unknowingly, the television industry is developing quietly, and the advanced thinking of the Shaw Brothers appears again. They began to invest in wireless TV, is also TVB. becomes wirelessThe largest shareholder of TV. Even under the leadership of Shaw, Hong Kong Wireless's Pearl TV station became the most powerful Chinese TV station at the time.
These achievements are sufficient proof that Run Run Run is a successful businessman. But he is not only a successful businessman , but also a great philanthropist. The Shaw Foundation was established in 1973. In 1977, 6 million was used to organize the Hong Kong Arts Festival. Since 1985, has successively donated more than 3.2 billion yuan to the Mainland. Countless students have gained a better learning environment and gained more knowledge.
On November 20, 2005, he became one of the first batch of "China Charity Awards" winners of the "China Charity Conference" organized by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and China Charity Federation. His behavior made the snowball of supporting education donations bigger and bigger.
In addition to supporting education in the mainland, Shaw also donated a lot in Hong Kong in his early years. Nowadays, many university campuses can see buildings in his name, such as the Shaw College of Chinese University. In the 1980s, he donated 110 million yuan. Construction; PolyU's staff building and gymnasium, HKBU's Shaw campus are all named after him. Open the map, enter the Yifu Building, and find that the Yifu Building is really everywhere.
Shaw's philanthropy is not limited to education. Whenever encountering natural disasters, Run Run Shaw always took part in reconstruction after the disaster without hesitation. In 2008, three days after the Wenchuan earthquake, after Shaw and his wife learned of the disaster, immediately donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars to . On April 22, 2013, Shaw and his wife once again donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars to the earthquake-stricken area in Ya'an, Sichuan.
In 1985, Run Run Shaw donated 10 million Hong Kong dollars to China to protect the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes mural project , which protected my country’s precious historical relics. After retirement, he also donated most of his equity to charitable educational institutions. In 2014, when the legendary businessman was 107 years old at , , accompanied by family members, left the world without regret.
thinks of Shaw Shaw’s glorious years and feels that these experiences, either happy or sad, may have given different people different feelings. Tell people who are in trouble, don't worry, observe more and you will find another way out.
Tell people who have just succeeded, don’t be satisfied, they must be enterprising, and believe that they can have greater achievements; tell people who have succeeded that they have a great responsibility and use all their abilities to help more people. accomplishes others and also accomplishes oneself.
