The next day, the same situation was the case, with the vendors buying less of their stocks, buying one box per person and selling only a small portion of them piecemeal.

In total, only three boxes were sold, and most of the film remained untouched.

Everyone generally reflects that the price of film is too expensive, and it costs ten yuan to take a photo of an ID photo, and a film accounts for three yuan, plus the cost of printing and photo paper, and in the end you can only earn four or five yuan.

If you don't shoot well and waste a piece of film, you will basically lose money.

So many people would rather not buy film and stop taking pictures.

This continued for several days, and the Mingguang photo studio ID photo market became more and more deserted. Eventually, his daily income shrank to less than a thousand dollars.

On the one hand, there is a shrinking demand for photography, and on the other hand, the price of film is still high, and the whole film is difficult to ship, and it is almost impossible to find people to buy film.

A trader suggested, "Mr. Yao, why don't you lower the price, the film is too expensive." ”

Xiao Gao got the same answer from various channels, some people have film needs, but because the price of film is too expensive to afford, they can only wait and see.

Mr. Yao thought about it again and again and decided to follow everyone's suggestions and start to reduce the price.

The next day, he lowered the price of film to 60 yuan a box and sold more than 10 boxes.

Two days later, he lowered the price of the film to fifty-five and sold more than thirty boxes.

On the whole, they are still far from their goal.

Looking at the boxes of film in the warehouse, Mr. Yao and Chi Zhong suddenly became worried. I was expecting to make a fortune from the film in the warehouse, but now it has become a hot potato.

Mr. Yao rode to find Huang Ren that night.

Huang Ren is tinkering with an electronic watch in the yard.

On the stone table in front of him was a row of disassembled electronic watches, electronics, batteries, display screens, red and blue wires, and colored plastic shells.

Mr. Yao stepped forward, and before he entered the hospital, Huang Ren jumped up and said in a low voice: "Why did you come to my house again, didn't I say that I only invest in the affairs of the Mingguang Photo Studio, and do not participate in the operation......"

Mr. Yao was stunned, and the footsteps that had just taken the steps immediately shrank back.

Huang Ren walked out quickly, took the door with him, stepped on Mr. Yao's motorcycle, and said, "Let's go to the Peony Garden Hall to talk." ”

Mr. Yao was frightened, clutched his wallet, and said, "The Peony Garden Hall is precious, let's go to the nearby park to talk." ”

The Peony Garden Hall needs a hundred yuan at a time, and some time ago the price of film rose, and they all thought that it was going to be developed, so they dared to spend money extravagantly and wastefully. Now that the film can't be sold, they realize that everything is just an illusion.

No matter how high the price of film is, it can't change the reality of their tight funds.

The two rode their motorbikes on a bumpy road and eventually ended up in a country park three kilometers away.

The park is centuries old, with broken brick and stone roads, grassy floors and few pedestrians.

There is a pond in the park that is overgrown with moss due to disrepair and few people have been treated.

There were a few wild ducks flapping their wings in the pond.

The two parked their cars on the side of the road and sat down on the rocks by the pond.

As soon as he sat down, Huang Ren reached out and touched his buttocks, it turned out that there was water on the stone, and he didn't know if it was stagnant water, or if it was a child or small animal that peed, and smelled a smell of urine.

Huang Ren jumped up and moved a few steps to the side in disgust, and the two simply stood by the pond and talked.

Huang Ren sighed: "The film has not been sold, and our treatment is very different." ”

Mr. Yao said: "Boss Huang, I can't understand it, obviously there are a lot of people in Los Angeles who need to take pictures, why in just one or two weeks, the ID photo market has shrunk sharply, and it seems that no one has taken pictures overnight?" ”

Huang Ren said: "In this case, there is only one possibility, and that is that the market has been developed. The person who should have taken the photo has already taken it. The rest is leftovers and scraps. ”

Mr. Yao said: "It's strange since then, 20 people in our photo studio took pictures, and Mr. Zero took a total of 50,000 or 60,000 people. And the 15 people in the Seagull Photo Studio, even if each of them takes 400 pictures a day, it will only be 160,000 people in more than a month, and the total number of people on both sides is only 21 or 220,000. It's far from saturated. ”

Huang Ren calculated according to what Mr. Yao said, and the numbers were not wrong.

Even with the sporadic photographers who joined later, the market in Los Angeles was not fully developed.

There should still be 80,000 or 90,000 untapped people.

But now, almost all the photo spots in Los Angeles rarely queue up to take pictures.

Every photo spot is crowded.

These 80,000 or 90,000 people seem to have disappeared into thin air.

Huang Ren said: "Wait and see, maybe these 80,000 or 90,000 people are in a few units or communities in Los Angeles. It's just still asleep, waiting for us to discover. ”

While the two were talking, suddenly a man came rushing to the gate of the park.

The person who came was late.

Chi Zhong complained from afar: "Why can't the film be sold, and I can't even go to the Peony Garden Hall for a meeting?" ”

Mr. Yao said: "The Peony Garden Hall is 100 yuan at a time. If you're willing to pay, we'll go. ”

The previous gatherings were led by Mr. Yao, and Mr. Yao paid for it.

Chi Zhong said: "Forget it, we've already come here, let's have an open-air meeting." I just got the news that because the first few times the film sold too fast and the price was very good, the manufacturer temporarily added a batch of film.

"The film arrived in Zhengcheng three days later."

Huang Ren and Yao were stunned.

The two of them thought, "The first few times the film sold too fast, the price was good", wasn't this exactly what they did?

If it weren't for their attempt to monopolize the film market, this would not have happened.

Chi Zhong looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you think, do you have any thoughts on this batch of films?" ”

Huang Ren and Mr. Yao shook their heads at the same time.

When the two of them mention film now, they are talking about tiger color change.

Mr. Yao said: "The six or seven hundred thousand yuan that Mingguang Photo Studio finally earned was all put on film. Now we've got nothing but film. The point is, now that the ID photo market is saturated, who will sell these films to? ”

Huang Ren also said that he would not buy any more films, and would first dispose of the film he had stockpiled.

Chi Zhong was also a little worried that the film he had hoarded would not sell.

He said with a worried face: "In case the ID photos of Los Angeles are really taken, who will we sell these films to?" ”

Mr. Yao said: "That's right, the price of film looks very high, but when it really sells, I find that it is not the case at all." There are too few people who are willing to pay such a high price for film, and there is no market for it. ”

Chi Zhong said: "If Zheng Cheng's batch of films comes in again, then our films will be even more unsellable." ”

Huang Ren said: "Only now, there is only one way, and that is to sell film at a lower price, as long as it is not lower than the cost price, we will not lose money." How much is sold, and we must not let this new batch of goods from Zhengcheng seize our market. ”
