Sure enough, after Fan Hua shouted, people passing by couldn't help but come over to ask.
Fan Hua introduced the setting to them enthusiastically, and told them that they could go in first to see if they liked it. She also suggested that even if they didn't have time to take photos today, they could first register for two photos and come back when they had time, because the price would return to one yuan per photo in five days.
Everyone who came to watch the fun thought what Fan Hua said made sense. Almost everyone who had money on them stocked up on one or two photos. By the time Fan Youcheng finished taking photos of Su Qingqing and Wang Xiyue, seven or eight customers had already placed orders on Fan Hua's side. Two of them were adjusting their clothes in front of the mirror, waiting for Fan Youcheng to finish taking photos for them.
Fan Youcheng smiled and handed out candies and snacks to everyone waiting for photos, saying, "Everyone wait for me for a while. I'll go light the firecrackers for the opening ceremony and come back soon to arrange photos for you all!"
Everyone ate the candy in surprise and no one had any objections.
Firecrackers were lit, the crackling sound was deafening, and red confetti flew all over the sky. Fan Youcheng was so excited that his mouth seemed to be hanging on his ears, and it never went down.
His photo studio is open for business! He, Fan Youcheng, is now the boss!
The sound of firecrackers attracted more people to watch the fun, and there was a constant stream of people coming to consult. Su Qingqing and Wang Xiyue also began to help with reception and registration, while Fan Youcheng was busy taking pictures for customers.
Not long after, Xie Yongliang drove over with Geng Ailing, and each of them was carrying a large bag in their hands.
"Lihua, this is the dress you wanted. I rushed to make it according to your design. I hope it doesn't delay the opening of the business?" Geng Ailing said as she handed the package to Fan Hua.
Fan Hua took the bundle with a smile on her face. "No, no, I just made it in time. Fortunately, I have your help. Sister Ailing, you have worked hard these days. Calculate how much it cost to make these clothes, as well as your labor fee. Calculate them together and let my brother pay you!"
"Okay, then I won't be polite!" Geng Ailing laughed.
"It's as it should be. It's as much as it should be!"
This bundle contains several sets of clothes designed by Fan Hua based on the scenery that would look great in photos, and she specially asked Geng Ailing to work overtime these days to make them.
Although it is rare for stores to provide clothing for photo shoots in this day and age, Fan Hua still wants to prepare more and provide them to people who need them. However, if you need to wear the store's clothing and style your photos, the photo shoot will be more expensive than ordinary photos and will be considered a boutique service.
For example, she asked Geng Ailing to make a Western-style wedding dress and a Chinese-style red suit, and corresponding men's suits and Mao suits, as well as several sets of clothes in other styles. The sizes of the clothes are basically one-size-fits-all, and thin people can use small clips to wear them.
After Geng Ailing handed the clothes to Fan Hua, she quickly said, "Lihua, I have classes in the morning, so I'm going to school first. I'll come to see you later when I'm free!"
"Go, go! Don't delay the important work!"
After saying that, Fan Hua quickly waved to Geng Ailing and Xie Yongliang, signaling them to get busy.
Geng Ailing then followed Xie Yongliang back to the car and headed towards Yangcheng University of Finance and Economics.
Fan Hua hung the clothes on the rack that had been prepared long ago. She also made a simple small changing area with a curtain next to the rack, and there was a mirror next to it.
After hanging up the clothes, Fan Hua felt that the photo studio looked more presentable. Her only worry now was that Fan Youcheng might not be able to handle it. If the business continued to be as popular as it was today, he might have to hire someone to help as soon as possible.
After a busy morning, Fan Youcheng had taken two more photos and had finished five rolls of film. A set of film contained thirty photos, which meant that he had taken a total of 148 photos in the morning. Some of them were pre-saved photos that he didn't have time to take today but had already been paid for, so the total turnover of Shiguang Photo Studio in half a day was 184 yuan!
Fan Hua looked at the figures in the account book, her eyes sparkling, and said to Fan Youcheng, "Brother, if we continue to develop at this rate, the photo studio will soon be able to make a profit."
Fan Youcheng rubbed his aching shoulders with a look of shock, "Sister, how much did you say?"
"I said that a total of 230 photos were ordered this morning, 148 of which have been consumed, and the remaining 82 are reserved. The names and dates of consumption have been written in the book. When someone comes to consume, remember to mark them at the back!"
Fan Youcheng asked with shining eyes, "Sister, excluding other costs, just deducting the film and developing costs, how much did we earn this morning?"
Fan Hua did a quick mental calculation and said, "About sixty yuan."
Fan Youcheng bared his big white teeth, his mouth almost stretched to his ears. This was too much money! If he continued like this, he would soon be able to pay off the renovation fee and house rent he owed his sister. Fan Youcheng could actually make so much money in a day. He was really promising!
Fan Youcheng took out a big unity note and handed it to Fan Hua, "Sister, take your two classmates to the state-owned restaurant to eat something delicious. Thanks to your help today, you can order whatever you want. I will stay to watch the store!"
Fan Hua took the money without any hesitation. Fortunately, this cheap brother of hers understood the ways of the world. Even if Fan Youcheng didn't give her money, she would still treat Su Qingqing and Wang Xiyue. But it would definitely be better if Fan Youcheng treated them!
Fan Hua took the two of them to a state-owned restaurant for a good meal, and after the meal she did not forget to pack some food for Fan Youcheng.
Because several people had classes in the afternoon, Fan Hua returned to school after delivering lunch to Fan Youcheng.
Fortunately, there were fewer customers in the store in the afternoon. Although Fan Youcheng was the only one in the store, he was still able to handle the work.
But what he didn't expect was that Zheng Zening came not long after, and brought him a big order, asking him to bring a camera to take a group photo of their classmates!
When Fan Youcheng heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly packed up to follow Zheng Zening to Yangcheng University.
Before leaving, he did not forget to write crookedly on the blackboard at the door: "Boss is going to shoot a scene outside, he will be back soon." This was what Fan Hua reminded him.
Fan Youcheng followed Zheng Zening into Yangcheng University. This was his first time attending a university. Looking at his peers on campus who were full of vigor and bookishness, Fan Youcheng felt a little ashamed. He always felt that the gap between himself and them was too big. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he didn't study hard at the beginning, otherwise maybe he would have been able to get into university one day.
Zheng Zening led Fan Youcheng towards the playground. On the way, they met Zhang Jiajia who was walking towards them. Zhang Jiajia greeted Zheng Zening with a smile.
The two of them were in the same grade, and both were prominent figures in the Class of 1978 of Yangcheng University. In addition, Fan Hua had introduced them to each other before in order to bring them together, so they gradually became familiar with each other.
Zhang Jiajia was the first to speak with a smile: "Student Zheng, I just saw many students in your class walking towards the playground. Do you have any activities?"
