Shao Jingque and Wu Shuang arrived at the store and waited only half an hour before the store completed the photo shoot for all the guests who had made appointments for the day.
When Rong Yongsi saw Shao Jingque, she stopped and excitedly wanted to show her the account book:
"Jingque, look, this is our photo studio's revenue for the past month. When Brother Yuquan calculated it for me, I couldn't believe my ears!"
Shao Jingque took the account book with a smile. This account book was given to Wang Yuquan by her before she left Ning City. She taught him in detail how to keep accounts and how to verify them. As long as he followed her method, he could ensure that every income and expenditure was recorded clearly, and any mistakes could be found at a glance.
She opened it and saw that the account book was filled with twenty daily income entries for this month, filled out neatly. It was obvious that the account was carefully recorded.
He scanned the ten lines at a glance, his eyes falling on the total amount at the end of each page. The daily income was about one hundred and forty to one hundred and sixty yuan. The total income for this month reached a staggering four thousand five hundred and sixty-eight yuan!
Rong Yongsi couldn't hide his excitement, and quickly tapped on the calculator to show her:
"After deducting our two thousand yuan start-up capital, the one thousand three hundred seventy yuan cost of film, photo paper, and albums, thirty yuan for utilities and rent, and forty yuan for Brother Wang's salary, our total surplus this month is three thousand one hundred and twenty-eight yuan!"
He had never earned such a large sum of money by himself in his entire life. It was no exaggeration to say that he had made his first pot of gold. How could he not be excited!
At the beginning, Shao Jingque gave him 2,000 yuan of start-up capital. He prepared film, photo paper and photo albums according to the quantity Shao Jingque said. In the blink of an eye, the 2,000 yuan of start-up capital was gone. Don't mention how panicked he was at that time.
Later, when he saw that the store was fully booked every day, Rong Yongsi felt a little relieved. However, he was so busy every day that he didn't have time to calculate how much money he could earn.
Yesterday happened to be the last day of the month. Wang Yuquan took a calculator and calculated the account book over and over again. After finally confirming that everything was correct, he reported this amazing good news to Rong Yongsi and Yue Feiying with a flushed face.
Yue Feiying acted quite calm after learning that she had made money, but Rong Yongsi was so excited that he jumped three feet high. He personally took the calculator and added the numbers carefully two or three times before he finally believed that Yongsi Photo Studio had really made a lot of money!
Suddenly with such a large sum of money in hand, Rong Yongsi didn't know how to distribute it, and Yue Feiying was also clueless. The two could only wait for Shao Jingque to come back before making a decision.
This amount is similar to what Shao Jingque estimated. However, if the photo studio wants to develop, it cannot distribute profits as soon as it makes money. It has to continue investing in the early stages to allow the photo studio's business to enter a positive cycle and grow like a snowball.
Shao Jingque thought for a moment and said:
"Yongsi, Feiying, let me first tell you my thoughts. This 3,128 yuan is the net profit after deducting our 2,000 yuan start-up capital. Logically, it can be distributed, but my suggestion is not to divide it up yet. Instead, invest it in the subsequent operations at a ratio of 1,000 yuan per person."
"I've been thinking about the future development of the photo studio these days. First of all, this storefront is located on a commercial street, in the heart of the city center, and it's right on the corner, so the rent is low. However, there is a potential risk. If the landlord notices that our store is doing well, he may raise the rent or even take the store back for his own use."
"So, I suggest we prepare for a rainy day and buy this store outright. Not only that, we can also buy the store next door and connect it to expand the store area and increase customer flow. Of course, we also need to continue hiring people. With Ding Ling joining us, we need to hire at least one more cameraman."
Yue Feiying's eyes darkened when she heard this. How did she discover that Que'er was the hidden capitalist personality?!
The business expanded, the number of customers doubled, and they only added one makeup artist, Ding Ling. Doesn't that mean her workload hasn't decreased at all? Why would she still have to work day and night?!
Rong Yongsi's eyes grew brighter as he listened. If he hadn't heard what Shao Jingque said, he wouldn't have dared to think so even if he had money in his hands.
Yongsi Photo Studio has only been open for a month and it’s already preparing to purchase real estate and expand its operations?
Is this a step too big?
For Shao Jingque, this step is not a big one at all. It is just that this is the only money they have now. If they have more money, she would dare to think further!
After this year, there was only one year left before reform and opening up. The market economy in many coastal cities had already developed secretly. If we really waited until the central government gave the order to start, we would start much later than others.
One step late, all steps late. Since they have decided to do a good job, of course they have to lay a solid foundation from the beginning. When the spring breeze of reform really blows and other people's land begins to be cultivated, they can already reap rich fruits!
Rong Yongsi was the first to express his views:
"I agree!"
Now he has nothing but admiration for Shao Jingque. It was Shao Jingque who helped him dig the first pot of gold, and he believes that Shao Jingque can also lead him to dig the second and third pots of gold.
If Shao Jingque knew what Rong Yongsi was thinking at the moment, she would definitely laugh secretly. What she wanted to dig up was not just a few buckets of gold, but a mountain of gold!
The two looked at Yue Feiying, who had been silent for a long time, waiting for her to express her opinion.
Yue Feiying looked speechlessly at Rong Yongsi, who was full of excitement, and then at Shao Jingque, who was confident of victory. He sighed deeply and said dejectedly:
"There are only three of us, and we've already voted twice. What else can I say? If you don't agree, do you think I'm going to withdraw my shares? The photo studio business is so booming, and I'm not stupid."
Shao Jingque laughed heartily. As soon as she saw Yue Feiying's expression, she knew what was going on in her mind and put her arm around her shoulders.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Yue, I will definitely assign you a makeup artist by next month at the latest!"
Yue Feiying suddenly became energetic:
"Que'er, are you serious? Everyone heard it, so don't go back on your word!"
Everyone present was amused by her reaction. Shao Jingque rolled her eyes at her.
"When did I ever lie to you?!"
In fact, the photo studio can fully afford the cost of hiring one more person, but in order to ensure the quality of the makeup effect from the beginning, Shao Jingque still cannot let Yue Feiying go too early. He has to train a successor step by step before he can let go.
Now the three of them reached an agreement on reinvesting the profits. Wang Yuquan and Wu Shuang were also happy to hear this. The photo studio would get better and better, and their lives would get better and better too!
After finishing the business, Shao Jingque turned around and saw Ding Ling looking out the window absent-mindedly from time to time.
She smiled, a sly look flashing in her eyes, and tiptoed up behind Ding Ling. Suddenly, she reached out and patted her on the shoulder:
"Hey! What are you looking at?"
