Chapter 367: Auction

Zhu Xiaohua was stunned, a photo of 500 yuan, not too much, not too little.

This photo paper can crop about 81 6-inch photos, and the price of each 6-inch photo is about 20 yuan, and 81 photos, which is about 1,600 yuan.

However, in this era, there are probably only people who can afford to pay more than 1,000 yuan to take pictures.

According to the cost, the cost of a huge photo is about a few dozen yuan, and the price of 500 yuan will not lose money.

Seeing Zhu Xiaohua's hesitation, the older man in the tunic was a little anxious, "This is the highest price we can give." I'm afraid I can't really get it out of any more. However, I promise that if the results are good, I will introduce more colleagues to take pictures with you. ”

This man has a sincere attitude and an eager expression.

Zhu Xiaohua couldn't refuse others anymore, nodded and said, "That's good, it's up to you." ”

The man looked happy, nodded heavily, adjusted the camera, and aimed at the half moon in the sky. With the help of two students, a clear first photo was taken.

The moment the photo was spit out, everyone gathered around again. In the huge photo, the semicircular moon is shining with its pitted surface, and behind the moon is the pitch black cosmic deep sky.

"So that's what the moon looks like."

Everyone sighed.

The two men in dark tunics were pleased with the photographs and carefully rolled them up.

The older man immediately collected a thousand yuan from the two of them and handed it to Zhu Xiaohua, saying, "Here is a thousand yuan." I'm going to take another one, but not until dawn tomorrow. ”

Zhu Xiaohua called Xiao Ding and asked her to accept the money, register it, and issue a receipt to the other party.

Zhu Xiaohua didn't ask them why they waited until dawn to shoot, thinking that it was mostly related to astronomical observations.

He immediately instructed the two students to continue to debug the Polaroid and teach them the essentials of the operation to the two men of the Astronomical Society.

The next morning, before dawn, Zhu Xiaohua heard the noise of people in the courtyard.

He got dressed, opened the door and came out. There was a group of people standing in the courtyard, chattering and excited.

"The comet disturbs the morning star, and it's amazing that you can actually shoot such a rare scene."

Someone is holding a flashlight barrel and shaking it on the developing paper under the camera.

The others leaned over to watch, their heads huddled together, black and pressing.

The older Astronomical Society man was a little excited, "I'm going to put this picture in a magazine and use it as the cover of this issue." Do you think it will cause a sensation in the astronomical community in China? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was excited.

"Of course! This is an astronomical sight that has never been seen before. ”

"Our association also has to take a few photos, boss, go find the boss." There was shouting.

Zhu Xiaohua listened to the shouts of these people, coughed lightly, and walked downstairs.

He was huddled with Tang Yimin in the dormitory on the second floor last night, and the movement in the courtyard was heard clearly.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Congratulations on taking rare astronomical scenes, I didn't expect that there would be such a use for photographing giants." Professor Shao will be very happy to know about it. ”

Twenty or thirty people gathered in the courtyard, belonging to different astronomical societies. These people rushed here after seeing the photos of the moon taken yesterday.

The heads of two associations immediately stepped forward and asked to rent a giant camera.

Of course, Zhu Xiaohua had no reason to refuse this kind of request, he immediately called Xiao Ding up, registered them one by one, and collected money.

After the comets passed by in the sky, more meteors fell from the sky.

The crowd was restless again, demanding additional shots.

Xiao Ding received the money softly, and after a while, the handbag in front of her contained seven or eight thousand yuan.

The heads of these associations, some of whom are novices, have poor photography skills, and the results are blurry, so Zhu Xiaohua gave them a free one and asked them to take it again.

In this way, everyone was happy, the people of the association got the photos they wanted, and the photo studio received enough money.

These people were busy around the giants, until dawn, when the sun came out, and then dispersed.

Before leaving, the heads of several associations also made appointments with Zhu Xiaohua.

The head of the association said: "In half a month, there will be a five-star star in the sky. We made an appointment to shoot the giants first, and then the later ones could only use it when we ran out. ”

This astronomical spectacle lasts anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, and if you miss that point in time, you may miss the spectacle.

They don't want to use the camera when they don't want to.

So they all want to shoot giants in advance.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhu Xiaohua's mind, and he suddenly had a new idea.

He didn't take the deposit from these people.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Well, I'm a little embarrassed, everyone is from the Astronomical Association, and I can't favor one over the other." It's better to put this time out of the auction, half a month later, from 8 to 9 o'clock in the evening, every ten minutes, a total of six auctions.

"You are free to choose the time period you want to use, and the bidding starts at fifty yuan. Each time period, the highest price wins. As for the cost of using the camera, it is the same as before, 500 yuan a time, and the price is the same. ”

The head of the association was a little upset, but he didn't say anything.

After all, when it comes to photographing astronomical wonders, everyone wants to get that golden time slot, and there is only one chance. Auction is probably the fairest way to go, and the starting price is only fifty dollars, which is really not much.

Zhu Xiaohua set the auction for two days later, in the backyard of the Seagull Photo Studio.

Everyone agreed to come together in two days.

After sending off this group of customers, Xiao Ding came over with a satchel and an account book, and said happily: "I didn't expect that there would be such a use for shooting." In just two days, I have received more than 8,000 yuan. ”

Zhu Xiaohua smiled, "We should tell Professor Shao the good news." ”

He thought that Professor Shao would be very happy when he learned about this situation.

Observing the universe with a prototype and taking pictures of the planets is something that the designers probably didn't expect.

In the afternoon of the same day.

Zhu Xiaohua held the camera lens to watch the sky, and the three brothers Jin Damin watched under the camera.

"Brother Zhu, isn't it too cheap to start shooting at fifty yuan?"

Kim Daemin looked up and asked.

Zhu Xiaohua was about to answer, but the second brother of the Jin family muttered first, "Cheap? I don't think fifty dollars will be able to sell off. Who is a fool to spend money on it. ”

Zhu Xiaohua also has this concern, but for him, who is used to seeing the auction scene, this starting price is not so unattainable.

After hearing this, Jin Damin patted the second child's head and said: "How many manpower and material resources have been invested in building such a big machine, and you still think it is expensive to start shooting at fifty yuan?" ”

The second child covered his head and flashed to the side.
