Chen Xiangmaru teamed up with Zhu Xiaohua and other vendors to buy the film from the Seagull Photo Studio and store it in a house, which was just a game of left-handed hand-to-right. Others really thought that the Seagull Photo Studio was running out of film.

Xiao Gao sighed in his heart, Tang Yimin and these people are really stupid.

Chen Xiangmaru continued: "In a day or two, the new employees will arrive. When it comes to film, you don't have to worry. Since Brother Zhu has decided to expand the scale at this time, he must have prepared for everyone. You just need to do your job well and complete the photo task every day. ”

Xiao Gao sighed that Seagull Photo Studio is really going to expand its business scale.

That night, Xiao Gao told Mr. Yao the news.

Mr. Yao was angry, patted the armrest of the chair and said, "Okay, you Zhu Xiaohua, you actually deceived us." I also want to take the opportunity to increase the number of photo spots. In this case, let's have a fair competition. ”

Mr. Yao summoned Xiao Yang and Dian Sanlu and gave some orders.

Mr. Yao said to Dian Sanlu again: "He Seagull Photo Studio wants to add ten more photo spots, so we will also add ten." You're going to buy ten more cameras tomorrow and come back. He Seagull has fifteen cameras and we have twenty. And our film reserves are also dozens of times that of theirs. I'm going to see how he wins us. ”

Dian Sanlu quickly found the accountant, took out the account book, and said to Mr. Yao: "There is no money in the account now, and I still owe a lot of money to the supplier." ”

Two days ago, when Mr. Yao asked him to run errands, he asked the accountant, and now the entire Mingguang photo studio is completely in debt.

All the money was on the film.

Mr. Yao saw that so many people were present, and Dian Sanlu actually brought an accountant to dismantle his own platform, and he was a little displeased.

Mr. Yao said: "Then borrow some more money, these ten cameras must be bought no matter what." Only by grabbing enough photo spots can you compete with the Seagull Photo Studio. ”

Yao always thought that other money could be saved, but the money to buy a camera must not be saved.

To seize the Los Angeles market, the camera is the weapon, the film is the ammunition, and only with enough cameras and film can the other party be knocked down.

The accountant looked embarrassed: "Ten cameras, almost more than 10,000 yuan, so much money, I'm afraid you need to be approved by the leader before you can go to the credit union for a loan." ”

Mr. Yao said: "This matter is more urgent, if there is anything, you can just bring it to me to sign." ”

When the accountant saw that Mr. Yao had made a promise, he immediately promised to do it immediately.

Two days later, 10 cameras arrived at the studio on time.

Mr. Yao recruited 12 new employees and urgently conducted photography business training.

Mr. Yao personally went to work and taught them how to adjust the focus, how to adjust the aperture, how to expose, how to change the film, and so on.

Most of these people had never touched a camera, and for the first time in their lives, they heard that the image on film was the opposite of the actual image, and their faces were full of confusion. Raise your hand and ask, "In this case, when the customer takes a photo, doesn't he have to take a picture with his head down and feet up, and his head and hand upside down?" ”

Mr. Yao was speechless.

Another person asked, "If the focal length is wrong, do I need to call the client and ask him to come to the camera?" ”

Someone else said, "Can you take the film out halfway?" ”

Mr. Yao explained to them for a long time, but the more he explained, the more questions he felt.

And some are simply 100,000 whys.

Why do I adjust the aperture so that the portrait becomes clearer?

Why are color portraits one inch black and white?

Why does film need to be processed before it can be imaged?

What does this camera have two apertures and why can't it take pictures automatically?

Mr. Yao was asked about the lack of words, and he was so angry that he almost slammed the table. He excused himself to smoke and went out.

After going out, he angrily said to Sanlu and Xiao Yang, "What kind of people have you recruited, your foundation is too bad, and you should ask some questions that don't matter." I asked them to come and take pictures, not to study how the camera imaged. ”

Dian Sanlu looked very calm, and comforted Mr. Yao and said: "Most of you are seeing the camera for the first time, and it is normal to be curious." Need to give everyone a little time. ”

At the Seagull Photo Studio, Chen Xiangwan's classmates came by train from Lucheng one after another.

A total of 10 people are crammed into the collective dormitory on the second floor of the Seagull Photo Studio.

Zhu Xiaohua met them in person and gave them business training.

Zhu Xiaohua didn't tell them any theory, just asked them to pick up the camera, learn from their own appearance, adjust the aperture, adjust the focus, and press the shutter.

These people did not have any film in their cameras, and they practiced repeatedly with empty cameras, and in less than half a day, they were already proficient.

Then Zhu Xiaohua asked the ten of them to take pictures of each other and communicate with each other until they got to a good understanding.

Since there is no theory involved, just teach everyone how to operate, and everyone only needs a few simple actions to complete a photo.

Someone exclaimed, "It's so easy to take pictures." ”

These people are Chen Xiangwan's classmates, with a high level of knowledge and strong comprehension ability, and Zhu Xiaohua has a lot of peace of mind.

After these people became proficient, Zhu Xiaohua sent them to various photo spots in Los Angeles.

Four men were sent from the west of the city, three from the east of the city, and three from the south of the city. To the north of the city is the base camp of the Seagull Photo Studio, which is still guarded by the original five people.

On the side of the Mingguang Photo Studio, the staff sent by the other party is similar to that of the Seagull Photo Studio, but the distribution of photo spots is slightly different.

Seagull photo studios are mostly distributed in residential areas, village entrances, and commercial streets, and Mingguang photo studios are mostly distributed in wholesale markets, vegetable markets, schools, factories and other places.

On the first day, the number of photos taken by both sides was about the same.

Ten people from Seagull Photo Studio took 2,000 one-inch black and white photos.

Ten people in the Mingguang Photo Studio took 1,900 one-inch black and white photos.

After the summary of the day, Xiao Gao immediately told Mr. Yao about the number of seagull photo studios.

Mr. Yao was skeptical of Xiao Gao's words.

Mr. Yao said: "Will they tell you the exact number, and they won't want to use you again, right?" You might as well come back. Back to the Ming Light Photo Studio, I will still promote you and teach you to manage the film business. ”

The film business is poor, Xiao Gao said excitedly: "Mr. Yao, is it really? ”

Mr. Yao: "Of course, now we are competing with Seagull Photo Studio, you are there, although no one said it, but Zhu Xiaohua and Chen Xiangwan already know your details." It's embarrassing for you to stay there, so it's better to come back early. ”

Xiao Gao has been waiting for this day for a long time.

She jumped up excitedly: "Really, then thank you Mr. Yao." ”

Mr. Yao nodded: "After you come back, I hope you can assist Sanlu and urge you to do the photography business, and quickly surpass the Seagull Photo Studio." ”

On the second day, Xiao Gao did not go to the Yiwu Street Wholesale Center again early in the morning.

During the lunch break, she went directly to the Seagull Photo Studio to ask Zhu Xiaohua for her resignation.
