Chapter 3 Standing Street
Xu Bin picked up his mobile phone and opened the M group merchant APP, intending to see if there were any new orders, whether there was a system or not, the days had to go on, or to get a real soft sister coin, it was more practical to fill the temple of the five organs.
M group merchant page, new order 2.
Xu Bin raised his eyebrows in surprise, two orders are rare, usually there is not necessarily one in ten days and half a month, but now there are two at once.
Xu Bin opened the order page and looked carefully, both of them were product shooting, and he expected Xu Bin to come to the door, which is commonly known as takeaway.
The two that need to be filmed at home are West Point, and I hope that Xu Bin can arrive at the store at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the other is a cold drink shop that needs Xu Bin to arrive at 3 p.m. the day after tomorrow.
Xu Bin replied to the two guests one by one, saying that the shooting could be completed at the time and place that the other party wanted.
After processing the order, I put the mobile phone on the table, and couldn't help but sigh: "These orders are still too few, a month down, the traffic in the store plus the online business, after paying my father's medical expenses, the store's water, electricity and sanitation bills, even my life has become a problem, it seems that I still have to take the camera to stand on the street at night......." ”
Xu Bin opened five group purchases in the store of Group M, one Korean-style ID photo, one marriage registration photo, one business image photo, one cross-characteristic photo, and one is a product shooting (food, drink, jewelry, furniture, pets, utensils, in-store image, etc.) This is an appointment door-to-door service.
Don't look at how many business projects are opened, they are really small profits and not too much sales.
Take that business image photo as an example, it is aimed at job seekers, the group purchase price: 68 yuan, and there are only four or five orders at most a month.
There is also a special photo of the crossing, the group purchase price is 399 yuan, obviously the IP is so popular now, the classic photo studio also provides: Hua Qiangu, Qingqiu Bai Qian, Bai Fengjiu, Mei Changsu, Zhen Huan, Chen Changsheng Choose any three of the six sets of clothing (or support guests to bring their own clothes), as well as false eyelash services and invisible underwear services, providing a total of no less than 100 totals, which can be copied away with a USB flash drive, refined into 20 sheets, and a calendar with a 7-inch table.
As a result, since it was put on the shelves in October last year, a total of two sets have only been sold, Xu Bin pinched the invisible underwear made of silicone and gritted his teeth to creak, and he didn't even earn back.
Don't get me wrong, Xu Bin has any perverted habits, he really spent 888 yuan to buy a photo studio costume package on Mibei, and two sets of the three underwear gifts were taken away by the guests, and the rest of this set had to grow gray here.
When he dismantled the host and wiped the memory module last night, Xu Bin didn't find the eraser for a while, so he replaced it with this, but he forgot to take it away after wiping the memory module, and now he accidentally pinched it in his hand.
There was no business in the afternoon, Xu Bin looked at the time, 4:20 in the afternoon, yes, it seems that it will be in vain to wait any longer, it is better to go to the street early.
Qingbei City, a third-tier city, has a scenery that can no longer be seen in big cities, next to Anding Bridge in the center of the LC District, there is a narrow green space of about two kilometers along the Qingshui River, which has no name, but has been called 'Happy Forest' by the locals for I don't know how many years.
Some retired uncles and aunts tirelessly gather here every day from morning to night to play cards, chess, dance and chat, and even attract many small merchants and hawkers, fortune tellers, singers, performers, balloonists, ear trims, pedicures, all kinds of things, and the business hours are quite long, almost from five o'clock in the morning there are people one after another, early exercise and breakfast stalls, to ten o'clock in the evening there are still unfinished, in the central city under the shining neon continue to talk very happy......
It stands to reason that there is no business to do for Xu Bin here, but he can't stand the enthusiasm of these uncles and aunts for making friends with the elderly.
In addition, few of these uncles and aunts with low retirement income can use smartphones, and most of them still have elderly machines with keyboards, no camera functions, or low pixels.
So if you help your old buddy go on a blind date, if you meet a new friend brought by an old buddy, if you hate to see each other late, if a small group encounters something that needs to be commemorated, you will inevitably need to take some individual photos and group photos.
And at this time, the Polaroid in Xu Bin's hand has become a favorite for uncles and aunts.
Originally, Xu Bin came to practice with a single-lens reflex, but at the beginning, the situation was difficult to open, and many old people were afraid that Xu Bin was a liar.
So Xu Bin went back to turn out the Polaroid that Xu's father gave him in high school, but he didn't expect to change to a low-end machine and it was accepted, for three years, Xu Bin also had his own territory in the 'Happy Forest', next to a flower bed step in the middle of the green belt, the word 'photography' was written, and the big piece of paper was put on the ground, and the uncles and aunts who had needs would naturally find it.
Xu Bin chewed a steamed bun in his mouth, and just put the signboard on the ground, his waist was still bent and not straightened, and there was a big footprint on the plastic paper.
A young man with sallow skin had eyes wandering around, and he stepped on Xu Bin's signboard with a snap.
"Hey, you stop!" Xu Bin raised his eyes and saw this man who didn't have long eyes when he walked.
The sallow-skinned man heard the call, glanced back at the signboard on the ground, and gave Xu Bin a contemptuous look: "Stand you paralyzed, Lao Tzu is busy, I don't have time to take care of you." ”
Xu Bin didn't speak, took a step forward and grabbed the other party's arm, pointed to the ground and said, "Wipe it clean!"
"Rub your paralysis, put it on the ground for people to step on, you step on it for me in this practice stall, let go!" The man with sallow skin struggled hard, who knows if he didn't break free.
Xu Bin sneered, and said in his heart: Let you know how strong the hand of a single photographer is, unless I am willing to let go, otherwise you will fall to the ground, and I can pick it up for you with one hand.
It was embarrassing at this moment, the two confronted each other, Xu Bin did not let go, and the other side had no intention of wiping the signboard at all.
Xu Bin raised his foot and was about to kick the other party's leg and stomach, when the blind Li who was a fortune teller next to him stopped Xu Bin's leg with one hand, and blocked the elbow of the sallow-skinned man with the other, and came out to play a round: "Oh, what's the matter, you two want to beat my old blind man to death? ”
The man with sallow skin straightened his collar when he heard this, and the five people and six people glanced at Xu Bin, meaning: Why, you can let go now.
"Loose you are paralyzed, who the is your own person who doesn't talk to people like this, old blind man, you are old and confused?"
Li Blind stared, the whites of his eyes were full of cotton wool-like things, and he looked strange: "If you are loose, you will be loose." ”
He turned his head and said in a different tone: "Brother Bing, this kid didn't come out of the stall two days ago, and I don't know about you, don't remember the villain, the old blind man sees that your face is full of red light, and the Yin Hall is shining, there must be great things in the past two days, why bother to be angry with us little people here? Ji Yun can be timid and scared, in case ......"
Xu Bin didn't know why, but when he heard the old blind man's words, he seemed to have a little bit of a taste.
Brother Bing snorted at Xu Bin first, and then said to the old blind man: "It's really fake, if it's fake, don't think about it here in the future......"
The old blind man laughed with him: "Look at what you said, I still want to do business in this happy forest, and no one dares to lie to you......"
Brother Bing left satisfied, and glared at Xu Bin fiercely before leaving.
"What's going on?" Xu Bin clasped his hands, waiting for Blind Li to give an explanation.
This person, although he is doing a small business and making money with harmony, he must not be ambiguous when he should bag salt for himself, otherwise anyone can be bullied, which is also Xu Bin's experience from practicing here in the past three years.
Chengguan, hide, ruffian, let, the guest has to make him comfortable, if there is friction with a stranger, the other side speaks well, and there is no malice, each other is a misunderstanding, and it is easy to unravel it, and it is easy to say at both ends, but if you find fault and slap your face, you must beat your face back, otherwise how can you mix?
Li Blind Beard blew: "The nose has caught up with the nostrils of the cow, the white blind has such a good-looking skin, young man, don't be blind, you are not me, you can't take the name of my blind man." ”
"You didn't come out of the stall two days ago, the Zhang Peng who used to collect rice here offended a new retired old man, and I don't know what kind of fairy the old man is, in short, there is a change here, this Huang Bing came to meet the big guy yesterday, just now he looked around looking for someone out of the corner of his eye, probably just wanted to find the old man to worship the dock, you said that if you offend him, Mi Zier will collect high for you in the future, then are you still practicing the stall here?"
Xu Bin listened to Li Blind's words, touched his nose, and spat again, his face was full of disbelief, but the little people do have the sorrow of the little people, the one who wears leather can't be offended, and the one who wears a gown can't be offended.
But after calming down a little, Xu Bin took out the cigarette box, lit one for himself, and handed another one to Blind Li: "Come on, come on, tell me about the new old man......"
Since there are so many small businesses in the happy forest, it is indispensable to collect protection fees, the vendors are different in age, gender is different, and their origins are even different, and there is no way to twist into a rope at all, so they can't resist the ruffians who form gangs and factions, and it has become an unspoken rule here to pay a little money to do business safely.
Otherwise, even if the city management doesn't come, there is no place to stand here, maybe you will offend the ruffian gang and give you a black notice, and the entire Qingbei City, no matter where you go to do business, you can't avoid being chased and beaten.
Xu Bin could only charge ten yuan and eight yuan for a photo, but he couldn't stand the invisible cost of coming to fight the autumn breeze in ten days and half a month, and he had to charge the old man and the old lady fifteen yuan for a Polaroid photo, otherwise this street would be completely meaningless, and the fart money would not be earned, it was purely a living Lei Feng.
Xu Bin listened to what Li Blind said for a while, but the old man was new, and there was nothing to say, only to listen in detail about Zhang Peng's arrest that day, looked up at the northwest corner of the Happy Forest, put the camera into the big black bag he was carrying, and took out half a pack of cigarettes and stuffed it into Li Blind's arms, and pointed to the plastic signboard on the ground: "If someone wants to ask me to take pictures, you can call me." ”
Xu Bin decided to go and see for himself.
