Chen Xiangmaru said: "I just went to Xianghe Home to take inventory, and we only have five boxes of film in stockpile. Five boxes, a total of five hundred boxes, I'm afraid it won't take a few days. ”

They currently need to consume two and a half cases of film a day, five boxes of film, which is only enough for two days.

Zhu Xiaohua rubbed his palms and stood up.

Exclaimed: "So fast, much faster than I expected." ”

However, he quickly sat down again and sighed: "Now the price of film in Los Angeles is sixty-eighty-one boxes, which is at the highest price." ”

Chen Xiangwan said worriedly: "What should I do, do I want to buy film." ”

Now is the peak of the price of film, if the film runs out, you need to pay several times the original price to buy film. What's more, film is monopolized by the bright light photo studio, and film may not be available at all.

However, seeing the marks on the map of Los Angeles, Zhu Xiaohua immediately laughed again.

He pointed to the map with his hand and said, "It's better that way." ”

Chen Xiangmaru saw a gap in the map pointed by Zhu Xiaohua, and laughed relaxedly.

In the Mingguang Photo Studio, Mr. Yao sat on a chair and listened to Sanlu's work report.

"Mr. Yao, I found that the number of people taking pictures has decreased sharply in the past two days. I only received more than 10,000 yuan today. ”

Mr. Yao was stunned, so angry that he almost slammed the table.

Still, he held back his anger.

Mingguang Photo Studio has 20 photo spots, 20 photographers, and only receives a total of 10,000 yuan, which means that each photo studio only takes 50 customers.

For a whole day, each person pressed the shutter only fifty times.

And that's still an average, there are a lot of people who don't even press the shutter fifty times.

Mr. Yao asked: "Is someone lazy?" If anyone is lazy, you find out and expel them directly! ”

Dian Sanlu was also full of grievances, "Mr. Yao, it's not like this." The main thing is that there is a sudden decrease in the number of people who come to take pictures. ”

Mr. Yao still didn't believe it.

There are more than 200,000 people in the entire Los Angeles who need to take pictures, and they have only been filming for more than two months, so it is impossible to finish the shooting so quickly. According to his estimates, it will take at least half a year.

Even if Seagull Photo Studio later added 10 photographers, it would have taken at least four months.

Mr. Yao said: "Are there few customers at the 20 photo spots? ”

Dian Sanlu said: "The three photo spots in the south of the city have a large number of people, and there are probably more than 100 people in each stall. The rest suddenly decreased, and even Changhong Homestead, stood for a day and only took two photos. ”

"What, two photos?" Mr. Yao couldn't hold back anymore this time, and directly "snapped" and threw the teacup to the ground.

"Changhong Home takes two photos a day, is the photographer lazy, or is there no customer to come to the door? Tomorrow, if there are so few people, this photo spot can be removed directly. ”

Mr. Yao angrily slapped the table again, and the teapots, cups, and tea boxes on the table all jumped.

Dian Sanlu resisted in a low voice: "The Seagull Photo Studio has long been withdrawn." ”

Xiao Gao was busy comforting beside him, "Don't be angry, Mr. Yao, the photo market is not profitable, but the film market is profitable." Today, someone paid 70 yuan a box to buy film, and the price of film has risen again. ”

When it comes to film, Mr. Yao is a little excited, and his whole body is fluttering.

He turned his anger into joy, let Dian Sanlu go down first, and turned his head to chat with Xiao Gao.

Mr. Yao said appreciatively: "I am more relieved that the film business led by Xiao Gao is still good." ”

The next day, the income of the 20 photo spots in the Mingguang Photo Studio fell again, totaling just over 9,000 yuan.

Dian Sanlu came to report again: "Mr. Yao, the situation of the three photo spots in the south of the city today is not very good. ”

Mr. Yao was stunned for a moment, and he was about to get angry again.

Dian Sanlu hurriedly explained: "Originally, there were relatively many people at the three photo spots in the south of the city, but today a group of people suddenly came to take pictures, and there were four or five people taking pictures around our three photo spots, and all of a sudden the business was robbed." And I found that there are several large units, such as steel factories and coking coal plants, which have several more to take pictures at the gates. ”

Mr. Yao was stunned: "Where are they?" ”

Dian Sanlu: "Some of them are from the Seagull Photo Studio, and some of them don't know each other. It was as if all of them suddenly appeared in the south of the city. Other photo spots reflect that there are no people who have seen the seagull photo studio today. ”

Mr. Yao groaned, thinking that according to this, the Seagull Photo Studio evacuated people and concentrated them in the south of the city.

Mr. Yao said to himself: "What do they want to do when they do this? ”

Dian Sanlu: "I don't know about this. Mr. Yao, what should I do, do you want to follow up? ”

Mr. Yao said: "Don't move yet, let's see the effect tomorrow." ”

Mr. Yao asked about the photo situation of Changhong's home again.

He made up his mind that if only two photos were taken on the Changhong side, he could withdraw the personnel.

Dian Sanlu said: "The situation of Changhong Homeland is slightly better today, and more than a dozen photos have been taken. ”

Mr. Yao's hardened heart suddenly softened again, and said, "It seems that there are still people taking pictures, so wait a little longer, don't withdraw yet." ”

On the third day, the photo income of the Mingguang Photo Studio dropped again, only more than 4,000 yuan.

Mr. Yao was completely angry this time.

He found some Sanlu to split his head and cover his face, which was a scolding.

After scolding, he asked about the day's photo.

Dian Sanlu reported: "The number of people taking pictures in the south of the city has also dropped a lot today, and there is no one at the other photo spots." There was not a single customer taking pictures at the Changhong Home photo spot that day. There are five photo spots, and the income for the day is zero. ”

Mr. Yao suddenly became worried, he thought, could it be that the ID photo business in Los Angeles has come to an end, and I have misestimated?

That night, he summoned Huang Ren and Chi Chong, and the three of them had a small gathering in the Peony Garden Hall.

Mr. Yao said: "Now the price of film is 72 yuan, and I propose that we sell all the film." ”

There was a slight hesitation in the delay.

Huang Ren agreed: "With such a high price, it should have been sold a long time ago." We will attract a large number of merchants tomorrow and bulk goods to the surrounding vendors! ”

The three of them discussed and agreed without hesitation, and began to operate.

On the fourth day, the Mingguang Photo Studio only earned more than 2,000 yuan from taking pictures, and the 20 photographers only took an average of 10 photos each.

The market is too fast and cold, and everything is caught off guard.

To the surprise of Dian Sanlu and Mr. Yao, the Seagull Photo Studio did not send anyone out to take pictures at all that day, as if it was an unpredictable prophet, and suddenly disappeared.

Mr. Yao and Huang Ren both wondered why such a large-scale market in Los Angeles suddenly became deserted overnight.

They gathered dozens of vendors, but the film didn't sell a few boxes.

That's when they realized a serious problem, and the film was suddenly unused overnight.

The film they hoard in their hands has no price, and the film can only become film, not RMB.

The vendors took five boxes of goods for seventy dollars each, and when the evening came, they came back to return them. Someone said: "Mr. Yao, the price of film is too high, and it can't be sold at all." Some of the people who came to sell film came to ask the price and turned around and left. Five boxes of film, sold for a day, but they didn't even dismantle. ”
