Zhu Xiaoyan said: "Brother, do you know, we made another 55,000 yuan today." With the addition of the money at home, we now have more than 100,000 yuan. ”

Of the 55,000 yuan, 48,000 of them were income from selling film, and the rest was income from taking photographs.

Zhu Xiaohua was stunned, two days ago, when the banknotes at home were about to reach 100,000 yuan, he went to Marlboro Market to buy film and spent 60,000 yuan, but he didn't expect to earn it back so quickly.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "This is called the more flowers, the more you have, the more you spend." Hopefully, we will continue to be like this in the future, getting richer and richer. ”

Zhu Xiaoyan was also very happy, "Dad and Mom have spirits in the sky, and they will be very happy to see our family like this now." ”

In the days that followed, the stockpiled film negatives were developed out, and the cooperation between Seagull Photo Studio and the scenic darkroom returned to normal.

The speed of photo distribution accelerated, many people got an inch of black and white photos as scheduled, and the reputation of Seagull Photo Studio spread in ten or ten hundred ways.

The daily operating income of the photo studio is stable at 9,000 to 12,000 yuan.

Occasionally, individual photographers come here to buy film, and Seagull Photo Studio sells it to each other at retail price.

Since then, the studio has added a new business, wholesale and retail film.

People in the neighborhood heard that there was film in the Seagull photo studio, and they all came to see it, and in this way, the film shortage in the whole of Los Angeles was alleviated.

On this day, Zhu Xiaohua was studying the map in the store, and suddenly two people who bought film came.

The two were about thirty years old, one was thin and the other was fat.

"There are so few kinds of film in the Times Audio Store, and they mainly sell tape recorders and tapes, and they don't even see cameras," said the thin man. ”

The fat man said: "It is said that Chi Chong, the owner of the Times Audio Store, brought a few sacks of money to Zhengcheng and wanted to buy more film to come back, but he was empty. In many places, the goods were sold out overnight. ”

Zhu Xiaohua looked at the film in the yard and smiled slightly. This person who intercepted the late heavy goods includes himself.

Zhu Xiaohua asked: "The Times Audio Store also sells film, I haven't heard of it before." ”

The fat man said: "This late heavy goods were only pulled back yesterday, and there are about twenty or thirty boxes." However, there are relatively few types of film, and it is not sold in small quantities yet. So we're all coming up to you. ”

Zhu Xiaohua's focus was on the twenty or thirty boxes of film they mentioned.

He estimated that the total number of boxes of film needed to take ID photos in Los Angeles was about 100. The more than 60 boxes in my store, plus the twenty or thirty boxes of late weight, are basically close to saturation.

This means that the price of film may decrease in the future......

Or rather, there will be so much film that it will be everywhere.

At that time, many people's films must not be sold, and they are pressed in their hands.

Zhu Xiaohua decided to speed up the shipment and sell all the unused film in the Seagull Photo Studio. At present, there are five people in the photo studio, Xiao Ding, Tang Yimin, and the Jin brothers, and they need to consume 50 boxes of film every day to take pictures, which is about half a box.

That's enough film to last for four or five months.

He decided to keep only a month or two of film and sell the rest.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "At any price that the Times Audio Store sells film at that price, I will be cheaper than them here." ”

The fat man said happily: "The wholesale price over there is twenty-five, and the retail price is twenty-eight." ”

Zhu Xiaohua's heart moved, this price is about the same as the price of Mr. Yao in the scenic spot. Obviously, the price of film in Los Angeles has gone up quite a bit lately.

Zhu Xiaohua felt that this was the time to sell a large number of films.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "The wholesale price of our Seagull Photo Studio film is 22, and the retail price is 25. ”

The fat man and the thin man were stunned, and the retail price was twenty-five, which was basically the same as the wholesale price of the Times audio store. For the same price, you need to batch ten boxes over there, and one box is also sold here.

The fat man said, "In that case, the two of us will buy two boxes first." We mainly use it ourselves, and we will buy it when we run out. ”

Zhu Xiaohua did not refuse, he took out the film and gave it to the two people, saying: "After I go back, I can tell the people around me that the price of our film has been reduced." If you want to do business and want to buy film, you can come to me to buy it. ”

The two took the film and promised to go back and ask.

Zhu Xiaohua hung up a signboard in front of the store again, which read: "Wholesale film in large quantities"

Not long after the signboard was hung out, Zhu Xiaohua heard a voice at the intersection asking passers-by: "How to get to the Seagull Photo Studio?" ”

He looked up and saw Chen Xiangmaru from a distance.

Chen Xiangwan was wearing a dark blue tunic, carrying a backpack, and two girls were beside him, one elegant and dignified, the other delicate and cute.

Zhu Xiaohua hurriedly beckoned: "Chen Xiangwan!" ”

The three of them looked over here, and immediately shouted: "Brother Zhu! ”

The two girls who followed Chen Xiangpill were Shen Yue and Xie Xiaoya.

Both of them were a little excited to see Zhu Xiaohua again.

Since the fire broke out in the wholesale center of Lucheng Railway Station, Zhu Xiaohua disappeared overnight, and there has been no news since, as if the world has evaporated.

It is rumored that those who set the arson, the people of Lao Qiao's family were basically wiped out, the men were arrested, and the women were shot. There was also a distant relative who owned a popsicle factory who was arrested and sent to jail.

Xie Xiaoya said: "After that night, I never saw you again, and people in Lucheng rumored that you died in the fire at the wholesale center of the railway station. ”

Shen Yue's eyes were a little moist, "I didn't expect you to be alive and well, and you opened a photo studio here." ”

Zhu Xiaohua looked at Chen Xiangwan and thought, Chen Xiangwan should know what happened later, why didn't he tell them?

Chen Xiangmaru said: "Brother Zhu, you left me a letter saying that I should dispose of all my property secretly. The rest of the money goes as severance pay for everyone. I don't know if something happened to you or if you left.

"We've been looking for you all over Los Angeles, and we've heard from people near the train station that officers were pulling a charred body from the upper floor of the wholesale center. Some people say it's Old Joe, others say it's you.

"It wasn't until I received your telegram two days ago that I knew you were in Los Angeles."

Chen Xiangmaru received the telegram at that time, and he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.

He quickly told Shen Yue and Xie Xiaoya the news. After the three of them combined, they decided to come to Los Angeles together, even if there was no serious business to talk about, it would be better to meet him again.

After all, in the short few months that they followed Zhu Xiaohua, they earned a few years of income.

Especially when they were finally dismissed, everyone divided all of Zhu Xiaohua's property, and everyone was still a little unhappy. I wonder if I can return some of it if we meet.

Shen Yue said: "After learning about the accident at the train station, Xie Xiaoya hid in the dormitory and cried all night, getting the quilt wet. ”

Xie Xiaoya's face flushed, "Aren't you the same, and you still talk about me." You felt like you had lost your soul during that time. ”
