Half a month later, the number of photos taken by Mingguang Photo Studio was less than 50 per day, and the daily income was less than 500 yuan.

Mr. Yao decided to shut down the ID photo business.

In the afternoon, the photographers returned to the Mingguang photo studio, and Yao always asked them to hand in their cameras, negatives, and remaining films.

Some people were puzzled: "Mr. Yao, there are two customers who have made an appointment to take pictures tomorrow and handed in their cameras, will they still shoot tomorrow?" ”

Another person said, "I still have two unshot films in my camera, can I wait until I finish shooting and turn in my camera?" ”

Mr. Yao shook his head and rejected their requests one by one.

Mr. Yao ordered Sanlu to confiscate the cameras of the twenty people on the spot. Everyone's camera status and film return status are registered in Shan.

The employees who took pictures felt humiliated and protested.

Everyone thought, how can this Mr. Yao be like this, he also gave us training in person when he asked us to take pictures, and now he doesn't need us, so he directly confiscated the camera and wanted to drive us away.

Someone said: "Mr. Yao, since you won't take pictures in the future, can you settle our wages these days." ”

Mr. Yao didn't answer these people's words, but cleaned up all twenty cameras, and then said slowly: "The salary will definitely be paid to everyone." Let's go back a little bit and wait for our follow-up notice. ”

Since it was not the end of the month and the date of payment of wages, these people believed in Mr. Yao's words.

They thought that such a large photo studio, with so much equipment and film in it, would not be in arrears of wages.

Everyone left happily.

Not long after he walked out, he encountered a group of people who came to ask for debts.

These people are all from Los Angeles, and some of them know the staff who took pictures. After the two sides met, the debtor went straight to the door of the Mingguang photo studio.

Mr. Yao confiscated the camera, and before he entered the store, he was stopped by these people.

The leader is a distant relative of Mr. Yao.

"Lao Yao, last time you wanted to buy film, I lent you more than 10,000 yuan, you should return it to me. I'll use this money in a hurry. ”

When Mr. Yao saw these people coming, he sighed in his heart.

In the past half a month, the photo studio only earned a total of 6,000 yuan, and it also had to pay for the cost of developing the negatives, daily consumption expenses, and there was not much money left.

He is the leader, and the entertainment on the scene is indispensable, and the rest of the money is used by him to go around, entertaining the superior leaders and the merchants who ask for cooperation, and there are miscellaneous things, and there is less than 1,000 yuan left in this money.

For so long, the photo studio didn't make money at all.

As for half a month ago, during the peak period of taking pictures, he did make a lot of money at that time, and he received 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a day, but all this money was used by him to buy film.

Today, the film is still a pile of goods in the warehouse.

Mr. Yao said: "I remember your 10,000, and when the photo studio turns over, I will return it to you as soon as possible." ”

"What about me, when will I pay back my two thousand dollars?"

The second person who asked for the debt followed up and asked, "Lao Yao, I lent it to you because you were a leader in the scenic spot." When you borrowed the money, you promised to pay it back to me in three or five days. It's been three to five days now. What about money? ”

Mr. Yao looked embarrassed, "You have a little money, don't worry." Others who borrowed 10,000 yuan were not in such a hurry. ”

The second debtor continued to retort: "Yes, 2,000 yuan is a small amount of money, so Mr. Yao, you should take it out and pay it back to me." ”

Mr. Yao was speechless.

A few of those present laughed secretly.

The employees who were taking pictures walked to the intersection, heard the quarrel in front of the Mingguang photo studio, and quickly turned back.

Several employees stepped forward: "Mr. Yao, since we have finished working in the Mingguang Photo Studio, can you settle our salary for a month and a half."

"You promised us two dollars a day each. It's almost 90 yuan a month and a half, can you pay it first? ”

Several other people also came around, and when they saw the person who asked for the debt just now, they were worried that Mr. Yao would not be able to get his salary after paying off the debt.

Mr. Yao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that his head was big.

Mr. Yao said disdainfully: "You little money, let's slow down a little longer." I will not owe you any money for your salary. ”

Between the words, it was as if this little money was not money at all.

The employees froze in place, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Two of the older women said, "Mr. Yao, we've been here for more than a month. If you can't get paid today, we're not leaving. ”

Seeing this, several other people also chimed in: "Yes, we won't leave." ”

Mr. Yao was speechless.

He didn't expect the usually submissive employees to be so domineering and unreasonable when they asked for wages.

He was looking down on these people.

Thirty meters away, Xiao Gao and the accountant hurriedly ran over.

Xiao Gao said: "Mr. Yao, do we still have money in our account, we owe the printing money for the darkroom in the scenic spot." ”

Xiao Gao took the forty-eight photos taken today to the darkroom of the scenic spot, but the operator refused to take the order.

The operator said: "The bright light photo studio comes every day to develop the photos, and does not pay every day. It's the tenth day. Fixing powder and developing powder in the darkroom also need money. If you don't pay today, you really can't do it. ”

The amount of money owed was not much, four hundred and thirty dollars in total.

Xiao Gao immediately went to the accountant, but the accountant found that there were only more than 70 yuan in the account of the Mingguang Photo Studio.

Xiao Gao pulled the accountant and came over to find Mr. Yao.

She worries if the accounting has gone wrong, or if the earnings of the studio have not been recorded these days.

The accountant told Mr. Yao that there were only more than 70 yuan in the account.

Mr. Yao was stunned: "I remember that not long ago, I also recorded an income of more than 10,000 yuan, and it was used up so quickly?" ”

The accountant was speechless: "Didn't you take the money later?" ”

Mr. Yao patted his head and suddenly remembered that he was short of money a few days ago, and he misappropriated the money from his account for personal use.

Some of the money was returned to relatives, and most of it was used by him for daily consumption, which was squandered.

Mr. Yao said: "I don't owe much money to the darkroom in the scenic spot, can you owe it first." ”

Xiao Gao told Mr. Yao the operator's original words: "The darkroom has no money to buy fixer powder and developer powder now, and I can't owe it." ”

Mr. Yao was a little angry and said, "Then today's photos won't be washed for the time being." ”

Everyone discussed: "I didn't expect that Mingguang Photo Studio can't even take out this money now." ”

"yes, I don't have any money to develop the photos, it looks like it's going to be finished."

The few people who asked for the debt in front of them were even more anxious when they heard that the photo studio now only had more than 70 yuan in their accounts.

Someone said: "Old Yao, don't blame me for being ruthless." If you can't come up with the money today, we won't leave today. ”

Three creditors, twenty employees, simply sat in front of the photo studio.

Xiao Gao and the accountant also waited for Mr. Yao to make an idea.
