Now that the business is expanding rapidly and there is a shortage of manpower, Zhu Xiaohua has no choice but to let him take the top first.

Zhu Xiaohua took another twenty boxes of film and put them in his satchel, and hurried to Changhong's home hungry.

At the gate of Changhong's home, Tang Yimin was waiting anxiously.

Dozens of residents gathered in front of the two photo booths.

Someone anxiously asked, "When will it start, I've been waiting for half an hour." ”

Tang Yimin heard the sound of the motorcycle from afar, became happy, and said, "Start immediately." ”

Zhu Xiaohua distributed the film to Tang Yimin, and the two immediately started working.

In the afternoon of the same day, the two took more than 300 photos and received 3,700 yuan.

At the photo studio, Xiao Ding, Jin Damin, and Jin Dagui also took more than 300 photos and collected more than 3,900 yuan.

On this day alone, he earned more than 7,600 yuan.

In the evening, when Zhu Xiaohua reported this number, everyone present was stunned. They could never have imagined that the small city of Los Angeles would contain such great potential and such a large market demand.

Zhu Xiaohua's expression was calm.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "This is the first day of the outbreak of business, and there will be more in the future. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the whole of Los Angeles, and most of them need to apply for first-generation ID cards and take ID photos. ”

Zhu Xiaohua estimated that the market potential of the entire Los Angeles is three or four million yuan. In other words, at least 300,000 to 400,000 people will need to have their ID photos taken.

At present, the manpower of Seagull Photo Studio is far from enough.

Several people were talking about the next work plan in the photo studio, and suddenly an old lady came outside the door, her clothes were a little shabby, and her whole body was patched several times.

The old lady had gray hair and a bit of a hunched back. She slowly walked to the door of the photo studio, reached out to hold the door frame, looked inside, and asked, "Minmin is here, right?" ”

Before everyone could speak, Tang Yimin had already shouted: "Mom." ”

Then he greeted him and said, "Why are you here, it's getting dark." ”

When the old lady saw Tang Yimin, she was a little happy and said, "Sure enough, it's here." ”

Tang Yimin asked: "Mom, did you receive the money I entrusted to you last time?" ”

The old lady smiled even more happily: "Received, received." ”

Tang Yimin asked again: "Mom, what are you doing here on this big night?" ”

The old lady grabbed Tang Yimin and said, "Son, hurry up and go home." The family is registering the information, saying what kind of certificate to get. I can't read or write, so I don't know how to fill it out. You come back with me. ”

Everyone looked at Zhu Xiaohua, now is the busiest time for business, there is a shortage of manpower, if you go again, Changhong Home is probably completely busy.

Tang Yimin also said: "Mom, you just need to ask the neighbors nearby to help, why did you come so far." Besides, I have a lot of work to do tomorrow. ”

The old lady was so aggrieved that she cried all of a sudden, and said, "Son, my mother wants to come and see you." I've been away from home for a month, and I don't know how to go back. Mom is afraid that something will happen to you outside. ”

When everyone saw that the old lady suddenly cried, they all hurried to persuade her.

Xiao Ding said: "Auntie, your son has food and shelter here, he has money to earn every day, and we are with him, which is very good." ”

Tang Yimin said to everyone: "I'm sorry, or you should be busy first." I took my mom upstairs. ”

He led the old lady upstairs to have a look, and said as he walked: "Mom, look at Brother Zhu, the place to live for us is much better than the conditions at home."

"Also, I learned a lot of techniques from Brother Zhu. I now use my camera to take pictures and develop them. ”

The old lady listened to her son's story and saw where her son lived, and she was completely relieved.

The two walked around upstairs, and when they went downstairs, the old lady said, "What kind of permits have been going on at home recently, you can go back with me now." The public said that everyone had to do it. ”

Tang Yimin said: "Mom, I can't leave." More on that later. ”

Everyone is also a little worried, at this time, if Tang Yimin leaves, there will be a serious shortage of manpower in the market at Changhong Home.

Zhu Xiaohua was also a little nervous, Tang Yimin went back like this, but when he saw the old lady's appearance, he couldn't bear it, so he decided to let him go back and get the documents first.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "ID card is still very important, and it is basically inseparable from ID card when going out in the future." You might as well go back with your mother, and just rush back as soon as the family is done. ”

The last time the old lady saw Zhu Xiaohua, she looked at Zhu Xiaohua and said, "This is your boss, that's really good." ”

Tang Yimin saw Zhu Xiaohua speak, and he couldn't excuse himself, and said: "Then thank you, Brother Zhu, I'll send my mother back, fill in the information, and rush back as soon as possible." ”

Tang Yimin simply packed up his things and followed the old lady out.

The two walked not far away, and Zhu Xiaohua chased them out on a motorcycle.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "If you walk back, you can only get home in the middle of the night." I'll send you on a motorcycle. ”

Tang Yimin was overjoyed: "Thank you, Brother Zhu." ”

Tang Yimin and the old lady got into the car.

Zhu Xiaohua drove the two of them towards a group of Shitang Village.

At night, the road is sparsely populated, and the road is unimpeded.

Half an hour later, the motorcycle arrived at the entrance of the village. Tang Yimin signaled that he would come here, and just walk back the rest of the way.

Zhu Xiaohua stopped and watched them get out of the car. The two walked along the dirt road towards the village.

Tang Yimin said: "Brother Zhu, I finished filling in the ID card information today, and I will rush over tomorrow morning." Guaranteed not to delay tomorrow's photo shoot. ”

Zhu Xiaohua was overjoyed: "This is the best." Go and go back. ”

Tang Yimin nodded heavily, supported the old lady, and the two walked in the direction of home.

Early the next morning, Zhu Xiaohua took the camera and film to Changhong's home again.

The people who didn't have a picture yesterday were already waiting there early.

Zhu Xiaohua handed over the photos that were developed overnight yesterday to the staff and asked him to help distribute them.

The photographs were all packed in small paper bags, each bag of eight one-inch black and white photographs, with one negative.

As soon as the photos were sent, the crowd rushed up and began to rummage through them.

"It's not mine!"

"This is a dog!"

"This is mine!"

The crowd rushed to the ground, and some of the photos were squeezed to the ground, and the negatives inside fell out. A few more were stained with mud.

The staff urged: "Don't grab it, come one by one." ”

But these people didn't listen to persuasion at all, for fear that their photos would be snatched away by others. All scrambled to rummage inside.

Five or six minutes later, the people who grabbed the photos left one after another.

Later, the people rummaged through the paper bags, searched for a long time, and rummaged through all the remaining paper bags, but they did not find their own photos. He yelled anxiously, "What about my photo, who took my photo by mistake?" ”

No one around responded.

No one admits it either.
