Chapter 37 Photo Studio 2



Meng Zhen explained: "We can design several shooting templates with fixed makeup, backgrounds and character movements. Each template has a different price, and customers can choose according to their needs."

"For example, for a wedding anniversary photo shoot, the sample photos are the ten photos I took that day. We can provide customers with the same makeup and clothing as I did that day, as well as the same shooting background and similar poses."

"Of course, the charging standards are different from those for ordinary photos. Ordinary photos cost 1.2 yuan per photo. If you provide additional services as I just mentioned, the price of a photo can be at least 3 to 5 yuan."

"Think about it, a customer who's willing to spend three yuan on a photo must be someone who loves beauty and has the spending power. Since she's dressed so beautifully, if you give her a few compliments and use a few different angles, she's sure to take more than one photo."

"Like last time, I took ten photos in one go. Ten photos is thirty yuan. If you take one customer, that's enough for your monthly income now."

The boss's eyes lit up!

yes!

If you calculate it this way, wouldn't it make him more money than just taking ordinary photos one by one every day?!

And only when getting married or on important anniversaries would people be willing to spend one dollar and twenty dollars to take a photo.

At most, there are more than thirty customers a month.

Fortunately, the store is his own and he doesn’t have to pay rent.

If you add the rent, there is really not much profit in a month.

But there is no one in my shop who knows how to do makeup or hairstyling, and I don’t have much experience taking photos of women. What if other people are not satisfied with the photos I take?

Although Comrade Xiao Meng’s idea is good, it is impossible to realize it by one person!

unless……

Thinking of this, he slapped his thigh excitedly and looked at Meng Zhen with a burning gaze: "Comrade Xiao Meng, why don't you do business with me?"

Fearing that Meng Zhen would hesitate, he analyzed again, "Look, you know how to do makeup and styling, and you also know photography techniques. Wouldn't it be perfect if we worked together?!"

Meng Zhen frowned and held his chin, as if considering this proposal.

In fact, she had the idea of partnership just now, but she couldn't propose it. She had to make the other party beg her for it to be done.

It’s not like she hasn’t thought about doing this business on her own.

But firstly, she didn't have a stable store to bring in customers, so she had to slowly build up her reputation by attracting customers one by one. She also had to cover the rent costs.

Secondly, this type of shooting generally requires a team, and at least 2-3 additional people have to be hired. Not only does it take time and energy to train employees, but there are also corresponding labor costs.

In addition, shooting equipment and darkroom must be prepared separately.

She is not a superhero, and with all the clothing orders on hand, she is simply unable to handle it.

So partnership is the best option.

Seeing that she hesitated for a long time, the boss lost his patience.

It was as if he saw the white bills swirling around him and then gradually disappearing into the distance. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly as a partner. I'll listen to your opinions on business matters. You'll get 60% of the profits, and I'll get 40%."

He had a hunch that this concession would not be a disadvantage.

Just reveal your bottom line directly.

With such great sincerity in front of him, it would seem a bit unreasonable for Meng Zhen not to agree.

She nodded and decided: "We can cooperate. How about this, after I finish shopping, we can talk in detail."

The boss has been initially conquered, and the details of the cooperation will be discussed slowly next.

She did not forget that her man had just been coaxed and now needed to be consolidated.

If you want to cooperate with the boss in the photography business, you have to go to the city every few days.

Liu Yuzhou will definitely have objections when he finds out, so I have to get his approval.

The two of them originally came out to buy a sewing machine today, but now it's already noon and they can't delay any longer.

After leaving the photo studio, the two went straight to the state-owned store.

Liu Yuzhou had someone reserve the sewing machine in advance, otherwise even if he had money and tickets, he would have to wait in line.

Meng Zhen picked the cheapest Butterfly brand sewing machine, which cost more than 200 yuan plus three industrial tickets.

Anyway, she was just putting it at home for show. If she really wanted to make clothes, she would have to use the modern equipment in the villa studio. There was no need to choose expensive ones.

After buying the sewing machine, the two went to a state-owned restaurant for lunch.

After ordering the dishes and waiting for them to be served, Liu Yuzhou rushed back to the office to get a document.

Meng Zhen lay on the table, thinking about how to tell the man that he wanted to start a photography business.

She held her chin with both hands, and her pretty face was full of worry.

Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he shook his head.

Her almond-shaped eyes stared unfocused at something not far away.

"Comrade, comrade!"

A man suddenly appeared at the table and waved his hand in front of Meng Zhen's eyes, trying to get her attention back.

After a few sounds, Meng Zhen came back to his senses. He blinked twice in confusion and looked at the man standing next to him.

The other person was a young gay man, who looked to be about the same age as her. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses and looked gentle and refined. But when she stared at him, his eyes didn't know where to look and they wandered all over the place.

Another shy boy, Meng Zhen seemed oblivious to his discomfort: "What's wrong?"

"Comrade," the boy pointed to the group of people who couldn't fit at the table next to him, "There are too many of us to sit at one table. Can we share a table?"

Today is the weekend and it is dinner time. The restaurant is full, and only Meng Zhen's square table looks empty.

It’s just sharing a table, Meng Zhen nodded and agreed.

He pointed to the seat next to him and said, "But there's someone here."

A hint of disappointment flashed across the man's eyes when he heard this. He had originally planned to sit next to Meng Zhen.

Fortunately, there is still a table available.

He turned around and called to his companions next to him, indicating that they could come and sit down.

One of the men simply suggested: "Why not put the two tables together?"

This proposal was quickly agreed upon by everyone, and several people immediately put the table next to them together with Meng Zhen's.

The five men and two women on the other side quickly sat down.

Meng Zhen politely nodded to the boy who had just asked for her consent and stopped talking.

She was worried about business matters.

It would be best to get Liu Yuzhou's consent today so that we can discuss the direction of cooperation with the photo studio owner as soon as possible this afternoon.

But she didn't notice that after she sat down, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Even at such a close distance, her angel-like face immediately struck everyone with her beauty.

Everyone's heart was trembling when they saw it.

This must be a fairy descending to earth. How can someone have such white skin?

Are the facial features so beautiful that they seem like they were carefully carved by God?

She looks about the same age as them, so why haven’t they seen her in Donglin City before?

Everyone present is a student of Donglin City Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

Today is the birthday of one of their female classmates, so a few good friends made an appointment to get together at a state-owned restaurant.
