The staff searched in the paper bag, and there was really no photo of the man.

The man was so anxious that he cried out, and said, "I lost my photo, I lost it before I could get it, my ten dollars!" ”

Zhu Xiaohua walked over, picked up a few photos on the ground, stuffed the negatives back into a paper bag, and wiped the soil off the photos.

He felt that this would definitely not work, and that he had to work in a different way. Otherwise, many people's photos are taken by mistake by others and they don't know.

Later, two more people did not find their photos.

Zhu Xiaohua counted that there were a total of three people who did not get their photos, and the number of people was not very large, but it reflected the problems at work. That is, the photos at work are not kept properly.

Zhu Xiaohua promised to take a new picture for them.

He decided to re-optimize the process of distributing photos.

Zhu Xiaohua took out a notebook and asked these people who had already obtained the photo to tick their names and leave a photo for the staff who registered their identity information.

In this way, it is clear who received the photo and who did not.

Zhu Xiaohua discussed with the staff again, and the next time the photos were distributed, the staff would call them one by one. The staff first took the photo, and the person took it, and ticked it on the notebook after receiving it.

In this way, the work process is rigorous and meticulous, avoiding unnecessary troubles and making it more efficient.

After distributing the photos, Zhu Xiaohua began to take pictures for the new day.

The people waiting in line to take pictures looked at the two photo spots, but there was only one person. I couldn't help asking: "There are so many people, I'm afraid only one person can't do it." Where's your helper yesterday? ”

They refer to Tang Yimin, Zhu Xiaohua is also a little discouraged, and now there is a serious shortage of manpower. Whether Tang Yimin comes or not, he has to be on top. He felt that he should hurry up and recruit again.

"The helper is here!"

Someone lined up in the crowd and stood up, sweating profusely. This person is none other than Tang Yimin.

He went home yesterday to register, got up early in the morning to fetch water for the family, and after finishing his work, he rushed here without stopping. He had come all the way, drenched from top to bottom, with beads of sweat dripping down his forehead along his hair.

He took the camera and film from Zhu Xiaohua and said, "It's not too late." ”

He didn't want to delay the big event of taking ID photos.

Zhu Xiaohua: "Just right." It's been another busy day. ”

Tang Yimin trotted back to the photo spot in the west, greeted the crowd in line, and said, "Come here, you can also take pictures here." It's the same on both sides. ”

Some of the people at the back of the photo line walked up to his photo spot.

On the same day, the Seagull Photo Studio and Changhong Home were full again.

On the side of Changhong Homestead, Zhu Xiaohua and Tang Yimin filmed more than 400 people and received more than 4,000 yuan.

In the Seagull Photo Studio, the three brothers Xiaoding and Jin took photos of more than 500 people and received more than 5,000 yuan.

Combined, the revenues of the two locations have exceeded 10,000 yuan.

Xiao Ding and Tang Yimin were stunned again. With a daily income of more than 10,000, in this era, it is simply unreal as a dream.

Zhu Xiaohua took out 1,000 yuan and rewarded them with an average of five yuan, and each of them received 200 yuan.

They took the money and stayed up all night with joy.

Nearly 1,000 photos were taken that day, and a whole box of 100 boxes of film was consumed, and more than half of them were consumed.

Xiao Ding sighed: "Today's film is used up so quickly, at this rate, the remaining fifteen boxes of film will be used up in a month." ”

Zhu Xiaohua wholesaled a full 2,000 boxes from the Marlboro market at that time, a total of 20 boxes of film, four boxes have been used up during this time, and half a box is consumed today, and there are still fifteen and a half boxes left.

On the table in front of him, there were more than forty volumes of photographs to be developed after exposure.

Tang Yimin looked at so many films, and he also worried: "These films, I can't finish developing them tonight." ”

Zhu Xiaohua found a map of Los Angeles and carefully studied it against the map.

At present, the ID photo market is expanding rapidly, and he is facing many problems.

First, there are not enough cameras. They only had five cameras, and each of them only photographed 1,500 people even if they were saturated with work every day and took 300 shots per person. 150,000 people, at least 100 days to shoot. 450,000 people, it takes nearly a year to shoot.

The person who took the ID photo obviously can't wait a year. If you want to expand the market quickly, you have to buy more cameras and hire more people.

Second, the darkroom is insufficient. With so many photos, just a flushed darkroom upstairs is obviously not able to handle it. In the past, there were few photos, and it was promised that the customer's photos could be picked up the next day. Nowadays, the number of photos has skyrocketed, and it is no longer possible to achieve next-day delivery.

Third, raw materials are insufficient. In particular, the developer powder and fixing powder consumables upstairs only have half a bucket left, and they will not be used for a few days.

Fourth, there is a shortage of manpower. The daily photo scene is chaotic, and when the photos are distributed, it is even more serious, and the customers directly grab the photos. The reason is that they lack the manpower to maintain order. Of course, the most scarce thing at the moment is the operator who develops the photos.

These days, they are busy taking pictures during the day, and they have to develop the photos when they come back at night, and after a long time, their bodies are seriously overdrawn. He felt like he could fall asleep at any time if he sat down.

There is a shortage of cameras, and there is no good solution for the time being, after all, in this era, a camera is not cheap, and most people can't afford it in their lifetime.

The darkroom was insufficient, and Zhu Xiaohua immediately thought of the darkroom in the scenic spot. It's professionally developed for photos, and there's more space and more people. The business of developing photos can be completely handed over to the darkroom of the scenic spot.

However, last time because of the purchase of film, he broke up unhappily with Mr. Yao, Dian Sanlu and others. The other party wants to buy their own film at a low price, which is obviously impossible.

As for the shortage of raw materials and manpower, this is an easy solution, as long as you spend a little money, you can get it. If you want materials, you need people.

The next day, before Zhu Xiaohua went out, Mr. Yao and Dian Sanlu came to the door.

Who is Yao always?

Mr. Yao is the leader of the grotto scenic spot, and last time Zhu Xiaohua sold him the film for nine yuan, otherwise he would no longer develop the photos for the Seagull Photo Studio, and instigated someone to come to the photo studio to refund the money.

Of course, Zhu Xiaohua will not fail to remember him.

This person first sent his subordinates to order Sanlu, imitate Zhu Xiaohua's business, and take photos with motorcycles, but later lacked film and could not operate normally, so he withdrew from the tourist photo market. At the same time, this person also established the Ming Guang Photo Studio, and it is said that the patrons behind it also included his uncle Huang Ren.

However, due to the lack of film, the photo studio operated in general and did not make much movement.

Mr. Yao changed his smiling expression and said, "Are you going out?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua pretended to be surprised: "Isn't this Mr. Yao, how can you have time to come here?" ”

Mr. Yao's face was a little embarrassed, but he was not annoyed.

Mr. Yao said: "Last time, I was wrong, and I wanted to buy your film for nine yuan, which is a bit unreasonable." I want to renegotiate the price with you, how about selling it to us for 18 yuan a box? ”
