Han Sheng is going back to Pengcheng, and Bai Ke really wants to go over to see the experimental field of reform and opening up.

But the final exam was coming soon, and Bai Ke was really lacking in skills, so he could only let Bai Zong follow Han Sheng to investigate.

Bai Zong came back after a week of leisure, not only greatly broadening his horizons, but also bringing back a big machine, a color magnifier.

This machine cost Bai Zong and Bai Ke brothers 200,000 yuan.

In addition to the first-tier cities, this kind of color expansion machine is difficult to see in ordinary small and medium-sized cities.

Even a provincial city like Mukden has only one.

There is not a single one in the entire blue city where they are located.

Because the current people only take black and white photos occasionally, color photos have not formed a consumer market at all.

In the last generation, it was not until the mid-80s that color photographs began to become popular throughout the city.

Therefore, Baike has always had concerns about whether to buy such a machine.

But seeing that there is more and more spare money in his hand, there is no investment channel.

There are very few houses that can be bought, and the brothers have searched for four or five years, and they have only bought five or six houses.

As for the antique collection, it is not worth mentioning, it just costs a little spare money.

Thinking about it, Bai Ke still decided to buy back this big machine of 200,000 yuan.

Even if the profit is a little lower, the worst is higher than the bank interest.

As soon as he moved the machine back, Bai Zong was also excited and apprehensive.

After all, he was the one who bought this machine, what if the profit is not even as good as the bank interest?

Therefore, Bai Zong is actually more anxious than Bai Ke.

As soon as the machine was bought, Bai Zong rebuilt the façade of the photo studio.

A display photo frame is set up next to the door, and inside is a color photo of the person he carefully took.

At the moment, other so-called color photos are made in black and white photos.

Few people have seen this kind of color photo of Bai Zong.

The colors in the photo are vivid and fresh, the red, yellow, blue and green are clearly visible, and the individual characters seem to be alive.

People passing by the photo studio stopped by to enjoy the appreciation.

There was also an endless stream of people who came to inquire.

But there are not many people who are really willing to pay for it.

Although Bai Ke often enlightened his brother before, he had little effect.

But after inspecting Pengcheng and broadening his horizons, Bai Zong gradually understood that doing business should maximize the pursuit of added value.

Anyway, it's the only one, so I simply raised the price a little higher.

At present, Bai Zong's black-and-white photos are the same as those of state-run photo studios, which are taken once for one yuan and developed in three photos.

After switching to color photos, the price immediately tripled.

At the same time, the price of Bai Zong's going out to take pictures has also risen a lot.

Whether it's a marriage or a child celebrating 100 days or something, taking a roll of color photos is 150 yuan.

This is almost sky-high, 150 yuan can buy a bicycle, which is equivalent to three months' salary of ordinary people.

It is estimated that many customers will be discouraged.

But it didn't matter, Bai Zong couldn't be tired anymore, he had to put more energy into business.

He can only serve a few high-end people.

After a week, the number of people who came to take color photos gradually increased.

Although there are still a lot fewer people than taking black and white photos, the profit is much higher.

Gradually, many self-employed photographers in the city came to develop color photos.

There are more than a dozen self-employed photographers in the city, but they can't afford to buy a color amplifier even if they are tied together.

After the final exam, when I came to the photo studio and saw the endless stream of self-employed people in the city, I suddenly had an idea: simply, I went to the city to open a color printing department.

In this way, the self-employed people in the city will no longer have to run back, and their business should expand somewhat.

However, at the moment, the photo studio is understaffed and there are few acquaintances in the city, so it is better to find someone to work with.

"There's a guy who comes a lot, and I think he's a good guy. Bai Zong said.

Bai Zong said that he was a guy named Jiang Wei, he was in his thirties, he was a demobilized soldier, he used to work in the government department, but he resigned last year and went to the sea to become a self-employed person.

In this era, he can be regarded as unconventional, bold and capricious.

Baike gave him two ways to cooperate.

One is that Jiang Wei is out of the place, and the washing fee is divided in half.

One is that white guests go out of the place, Jiang Wei goes out, and Jiang Wei takes one percent of the money he earns.

In the long run, it's definitely the first bargain.

But Jiang Wei himself has no fixed office space at all, and he carries a camera to fight guerrillas at the gates of major parks every day.

Let him rent a fixed face, first, he can't afford the risk, and second, he doesn't have the strength.

The "Daqi Photo Studio" can only come forward to rent a house in the city.

At the beginning, the brothers of Bai Zong and Bai Ke also wanted to buy a house.

But Jiang Wei helped to find it and couldn't buy it.

Because this color expansion must be in the downtown area of the city, the houses here are either a certain unit or public housing.

In the end, I could only rent a small window of a few square meters in a corner of the hardware company.

Although the place is small, it is enough to send and receive film photos.

It is more cost-effective for Jiang Wei, because he has a fixed stall without spending money, and he can also take 10% of the washing cost.

Coupled with this transceiver point in the city, the color expansion machine earned four or five thousand yuan in the first month, at this rate, four or five years can earn back the money of the machine, not to mention that it will develop faster and faster in the future.

After the final exams, Bai Ke thought about going to Kyoto to have a look, first, to collect antiques, and second, to see if he could buy a few sets of courtyard houses.

Although Bai Ke looks more agile than an adult, his parents still think that he is too young to go out alone.

Bai Ke had no choice but to call his third cousin Fengqin to go to Kyoto together.

As soon as he got off the train, the white guest came to look for the old hat.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and the old hat has gained a lot of weight.

When I inquired, I found out that the antique market in Kyoto was still underground in recent years.

But the business is getting bigger and bigger, and the old hat has also made a lot of money in recent years, and his life is naturally much better.

At present, Lao Mao not only chased the big basket at two ends for three days, but also began to catch up in the markets in various districts.

Perhaps there are too many people in Kyoto, and each ward does not have Sundays off, but rather a rotating holiday.

For example, Chongwen District is closed on Wednesdays, Xuanwu District is closed on Thursdays, Xicheng District is closed on Fridays, and Dongcheng District is closed on Saturdays.

Then change it again after a while.

As a result, Kyoto is like a town, with regular markets beginning to appear every week.

The difference is that the people are in the township rotation, which is the rotation of the districts.

In this bazaar, there are a large number of thrift sellers.

For example, all kinds of old radios, old watches, old window frames, old furniture, old clothes, etc.

Logically, this kind of business is legal.

Because in this age of material poverty, of course, we must make the best use of things.

The old hats took the opportunity to mix in and made the antique business booming.

Compared to the Longtan Park Bird Market, the business here is bigger and more hidden.

The number of people who fled in embarrassment was less, and people naturally gained weight.

The second day I saw the old hat was Thursday, and the day of the Xuanwu District was closed, which was naturally also the day of the Xuanwu District gathering.

The white guest decided to go with the old hat and piggyback on something.
