Chapter 271 Yiwu Street set up a wholesale point
After more manpower, the photo studio and Changhong Home, the efficiency of taking pictures has been greatly improved.
That night, there were a lot more negatives shot in Changhong's homeland.
After Tang Yimin came back, he counted the films and said happily: "Brother Zhu, Jin Damin and I took a full 500 photos today, 100 more than in the past. β
Jin Damin also nodded and confirmed: "After Shen Yue came, the two of us were much more relaxed all of a sudden, and we no longer had to worry about customer registration and collecting money." As long as you concentrate on taking pictures, it's just too convenient. And the number of people filming has increased significantly. β
On the side of the Seagull Photo Studio, Xie Xiaoya shared the work of registration and collecting money, and Xiaoding and the Jin brothers were obviously much easier.
The three of them don't have to be entangled in these bits and pieces, they just need to take pictures.
The two brothers, Xiao Ding and Jin, also took more than 700 photos that day.
The Changhong home and the seagull photo studio combined, about 1,300 photos were taken.
On Chen Xiangmaru's side, there were sporadic customers who came to buy film one after another. A few people specifically inquired about the wholesale of film, but did not explicitly state whether they wanted to participate in the film business.
The next day, the film was wholesaled out of more than one box, and there were scattered people to buy film, but the total amount was not much, each person bought five boxes and ten boxes at most, and few people took two thousand boxes at one time like Mr. Yao in the scenic spot.
Even so, when a box of film was sold, more than 2,500 yuan was recovered, minus the purchase price, and the money for developing the photos in one day was also available.
After studying the map, Chen Xiangwan suggested that Zhu Xiaohua set up another film wholesale point in the west of the city.
Zhu Xiaohua looked at the map and immediately decided to go on a field trip.
The two got on motorcycles and rushed towards Yiwu Street in the west of the city. Yiwu Street is a famous wholesale street in Los Angeles West, there are two large department stores on this street, as well as many wholesale clothes, shoes and socks shops, the most fashionable is watch shops, repair radios, tape recorders, and televisions.
Small vendors around Los Angeles often come to this street to buy their goods.
After the two arrived at Yiwu Street, they slowed down and walked slowly, and they could see a lot of pedestrians along the way.
Some of these pedestrians are pushing bicycles to buy goods, some are pushing tricycles to sell snacks, and some are setting up stalls on the sidewalk to repair shoes, each shouting.
The total length of this street is only about one kilometer, and the two of them walked around from the south side of the road, and then turned back and walked along the north side of the road again, basically clarifying the situation of this street.
There are very few shops selling and repairing electronic products on this street, only two, and it is definitely the most profitable and popular shop. The second is the department store, the department store has a large faΓ§ade, and basically pedestrians who come to this street will go in and take a stroll whether they buy anything or not.
The second is to sell clothes and snacks.
On this street, you can often meet people with different dialects from the surrounding villages and eight towns, and there are many farmers who do business.
After inspecting the circle, the two went to the shop that repaired watches, radios and cameras, and inquired about the charges and business.
In the end, the two came to a conclusion that this street has a strong business atmosphere, the most self-employed people, and the most people from the surrounding area come to do business, and even many people have looked down on the idea of squeezing their heads into state-owned units in the past.
If you tell people here, you self-employed people are not in the stream, and those who work in state-owned units are serious people, and you must be refuted in person.
Zhu Xiaohua thinks this is a good place to set up a film wholesale center.
He immediately decided to rent a shop here. After looking at a few stores for rent or to be transferred, Zhu Xiaohua fell in love with a store.
This shop is located next to the TV repair shop, about 30 square meters, the rent is six yuan per month, and the water and electricity are all included.
Chen Xiangmaru is also satisfied with this shop, although the rent is more expensive than ordinary shops, but the location is good, the shop area is also suitable, and the wholesale and retail are not delayed.
Zhu Xiaohua handed over the rent to the landlord and got the key. The two immediately made a signboard and put it at the door, which read: "Film wholesale and retail"
That night, the two of them brought two boxes of film over and parked the store decoration.
In fact, there is no need for special arrangement, it is nothing more than hanging a few signboards, placing the film box at the door, and then placing a few film negatives on the wall at the door, so that people can see the effect of taking pictures.
After all this, Zhu Xiaohua rode back to the Seagull Photo Studio.
Before I arrived at the door of the photo studio, I saw a girl standing at the intersection in the distance, wearing a blue uniform, looking like she was in her twenties, combing her ponytail and braids, with a beautiful face, dignified and a little cute.
When the girl saw Zhu Xiaohua, she hurriedly beckoned.
Zhu Xiaohua drove the car closer and recognized her. This girl is none other than Xiao Gao, the salesperson of the Mingguang Photo Studio.
Xiao Gao said: "Boss, do you still recognize me?" Did you agree to hire me as an employee that time? β
Zhu Xiaohua: "Of course it counts. We're short of experienced staff like you here, when are you coming? β
Xiao Gao's face, which was still a little sad just now, immediately smiled: "Really, that's great." How much can my boss pay me? β
Zhu Xiaohua asked: "When you were in the Mingguang Photo Studio, how much salary did Mr. Yao pay you?" β
Xiao Gao: "Thirty yuan a month." β
Zhu Xiaohua thought about it and felt that this Xiao Gao was from Mingguang Photo Studio, and he had just arrived, so he couldn't give his salary too high at first.
Zhu Xiaohua said: "If you come over, your salary will be two yuan a day, and sixty yuan a month." It is suitable for three months, and if there is no problem, the salary will be the same as my old employees here, three yuan a day, and ninety yuan a month. β
Kodaka said, "Wow, there are so many. Boss Zhu, you didn't lie to me. β
Zhu Xiaohua smiled: "Of course, but don't call me Boss Zhu in the future, just call me Brother Zhu." β
Xiao Gao nodded.
Zhu Xiaohua asked her to report to the Seagull Photo Studio tomorrow morning.
Zhu Xiaohua said: "After you came, your main job was to help customers who took travel photos and art photos to register and prepare the background board. Someone else will finish taking pictures. The work is similar to that of a bright light photo studio, so it should be easy to get started. β
Xiao Gao nodded again.
Zhu Xiaohua saw that she was the only one and didn't see her colleague Xiao Yang, so she asked, "Why didn't Xiao Yang come?" β
Xiao Gao said: "She didn't come, her family is a distant relative of Mr. Yao's family, and she wants to stay there." β
Zhu Xiaohua felt that this kind of thing could not be forced, and since the other party was unwilling to come, it was inconvenient to force it.
Zhu Xiaohua said: "Then you come to report tomorrow and look for Xiaoding when you arrive." It's up to her to arrange it for you. β
After the two discussed it, they dispersed, and Xiao Gao looked very happy when he left, jumping all the way.
On the second day, Kodaka appeared at the Seagull Photo Studio on time. The last time everyone saw her, and saw her gentle, they all liked her very much, and soon regarded her as their own.
