Chapter 35 You Don't Have That Right
The proprietress's actions terrified everyone.
The group of people looked at each other, then all turned to look at Jiang Jiani.
Even Lu Xiangyang, who knew everything, genuinely believed that Jiang Jianni was attracted to the scenery of this small garden by the other people.
Jiang Jianni avoided the landlady's kowtow, ignored her, and greeted the others with a smile:
"The photos are all taken. Thank you everyone for your hard work."
"Today, Xiangyang and I are treating everyone to hot pot."
"Let's go, everyone."
None of the group looked at the proprietress who was still kowtowing; they left as they had come, leaving behind only countless envious eyes.
The proprietress breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them leave.
Seeing that the young people were still regretting that the other person had taken the photos themselves instead of hiring a photo studio, he straightened his back again.
With his hands on his hips, he shouted, "They are them, and you are you. How can you compare to them?"
"They came by car; you're lucky you even have a bicycle to ride."
"You want someone to take pictures for you? Take a good look at yourself, do you even deserve it?"
Two young people couldn't stand the insult and immediately said they wouldn't film anymore.
The proprietress was fearless: "If you don't want to take pictures, then don't. I'll take them for you anyway."
"I am the only wedding photography studio in Pingyang City."
"I won't let you take pictures. I want to see how embarrassed you are at your wedding."
"Trying to blackmail me, do you think I'm a vegetarian?"
"If you're so capable, then go ahead and hire a photographer to make your clothes. Otherwise, you're just keeping it to yourself."
She looked at the speechless young people and snorted, "A bunch of poor wretches who don't know their own worth, humph."
Upon hearing the news of their impoverished appearance, two young couples immediately decided not to have their photos taken, saying they would just go to an old state-run photo studio and have a casual photo taken instead.
They asked the landlady to return the deposit, but she refused, leading to another verbal battle, which we'll leave aside for now.
Jiang Jiani's photos are quite unique for this era.
Several unmarried young men were very interested; they didn't even have girlfriends yet, but they already ordered clothes from Jiang Jiani.
Jiang Yanni envied her sister's clothes and the opportunity to take photos. She wanted to ask but was afraid that if she asked for too much, her sister would not agree.
While they were enjoying their meal, Zhao Nanguo asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you think about me opening a photo studio?"
Li Jiuming mocked him: "You can't even take a picture, and you want to open a photo studio? You'll go bankrupt."
"I don't lack money."
Zhao Nanguo said, "Besides, if I don't know how, can't I ask someone who does?"
"Can a person die from holding in their pee?"
Li Jiuming was speechless. If it weren't for the fact that this was the first time he was meeting Lu Xiangyang's wife, he would have definitely beaten this bastard up.
Sigh, I didn't hit them hard enough at the Jiang family's place before.
Jiang Haibing said enthusiastically, "Sure, why not?"
"When the time comes, rent a bigger house and get a lot of clothes, like wedding dresses, opera costumes, cheongsams, and the Xiuhe dress that my Jia Ni wears. Change the color, the pattern, the length and width, and make them all new. Get a few sets of them."
"Find another college student who has studied photography, and advertise him as a professional photographer who graduated from college. Get him three or five cameras, buy them even if you don't need them, just to impress people."
"Doesn't their family charge thirty for a black and white wedding dress photo?"
"As long as you make a grand enough show, show off your wealth, and make it high-end, stylish and classy, even if your price is higher than theirs, you can still squeeze them out of business."
Jiang Jianni looked at her older brother in surprise: "Did you take pictures outside?"
Jiang Haibing laughed and said, "Taking pictures is just doing business, isn't it?"
"You get what you pay for; only buy expensive things, not necessarily the right ones."
"Isn't this the same principle?"
Everyone present was either a long-time soldier, a recent demobilized soldier, or a student.
Jiang Jianni was the only one who had seen various sales tactics from later generations, but she herself had never run a business, not even a street stall.
Such commonplace things are something you wouldn't even think of if no one brought them up.
Jiang Jianni then replied, "It's the same principle."
"Actually, there's no need to lower the price."
"We could even raise the price further."
Zhao Nanguo immediately became interested: "How so?"
Jiang Jianni said, "People like to get a bargain. For example, when buying vegetables, they want the seller to throw in a scallion. When buying three pounds of fruit, they want to get two dates for free."
"You could promote a set of outfits."
"A set of clothes and three photos in different poses for 98 yuan, plus a free photo frame."
"Two sets of clothes and five photos for 168 yuan. The photos can be two 2-inch photos, two 7-inch photos, and one 14-inch photo. Two 7-inch photo frames and one 14-inch photo frame are included."
"268 yuan for three outfits and ten photos, several of each in different sizes, plus a frame."
"I don't think their services include makeup. You can hire a skilled makeup artist to do the makeup for the bride and groom."
"The bride is getting her makeup done, and the groom is getting his hair done."
"The price of the package can go up as far as you want. If you take more than ten or twelve photos, you'll get a beautiful photo album as a gift."
"There will definitely be someone willing to pay for it when the time comes."
Getting married is all about spending money.
There are plenty of young people willing to spend money on wedding photos, which are visible to the naked eye, can be preserved for a long time, and have considerable commemorative significance.
Like her!
In other words, they looked down on the clothing and photography skills of ordinary photo studios at that time.
Otherwise, she would be willing to spend a thousand or two to take wedding photos right now.
Furthermore, spring brings a hundred flowers, autumn a bright moon, summer a cool breeze, and winter snow.
Add to that the beautiful real scenery, and the number of people wanting to take photos will double, with many even willing to pay extra for outings.
Those present were stunned.
Coming to his senses, Zhao Nanguo gave Jiang Jiani a thumbs up: "I say, sister-in-law, you really are a teacher, you understand young people's minds perfectly."
"You're forcibly adding a condition to young people's marriage requirements."
Jiang Haibing couldn't hold back either: "Jiani, I know you've been smart since you were little, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get into university."
“But I used to think you only knew how to study and didn’t understand anything else.”
"I didn't expect you to think so much about just taking a picture."
"You've really figured out the business, haven't you?"
Thinking back to the advice Jiang Jianni gave him when he was thinking about decorating, Jiang Haibing couldn't help but say:
"Jiani, I really think it's a waste of your brains to only be a teacher. Why don't you come and do business with me?"
"If my brother and I work together, we'll make a name for our renovation team within three to five years. Then we'll be rolling in money!"
Zhao Nanguo, who was sitting next to him, quickly covered his mouth:
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to him."
"Renovation is so dirty, it makes you look dusty all the time."
"You'll come and work with me on this wedding photography project."
"Let's work together to make the photography business bigger and stronger. Now we take photos for people in our city, and another day we'll take photos for people all over the country, and in the future we'll take photos for people all over the world."
"Don't worry, I promise I won't take advantage of you, you won't have to pay anything, and I'll give you half of the profits in the future. What do you think?"
Seeing that Jiang Jiani remained silent.
He asked somewhat anxiously, "Ah, are you afraid that Lao Lu won't agree?"
He immediately pointed the gun at Lu Xiangyang: "Old Lu, let me tell you, although your wife married you, she is independent and free."
"It's her right to do what she wants, and you can't restrict her."
"You have no right to do that!"
