travel starts with photography

Chapter 424 Vientiane City Shopping Mall

If it counts as commission, Hu Sibin only gets commission from some commercial cooperation. After all, Chen Xing, the most famous person in the studio, has signed a contract with the gallery. The photography works in the next few years will have to be handed over to the gallery for management, and Chen Xing’s own share It’s not much in Chengdu, so where can we get the money to divide it again?

But it doesn't matter, Chen Xing is not the kind of person who gets jealous when others get a lot of money.

Without the operation of a gallery, no matter how good his works are, they will only become valuable after his death.

No matter how good your commercial photography is, it is difficult to make a fortune.

The matter was basically settled, but Chen Xing still asked someone to find out the reasons for Hu Sibin's resignation. After confirming that there were no problems with his private life and morals, he signed the contract and found a new employee for his newly founded studio. housekeeper.

The second meeting was a week later, when Chen Xing took him to see the office location.

In fact, it is a photography-themed cafe that Chen Xing wants to open. If the studio wants to rent a special place for them, this cafe may not be able to open.Anyway, photographers spend most of their time outdoors or at home. There is no need to set up an office to store them. It is a waste of money.

This shop is not far from where he lives.

China Resources 24 Chengqi Mansion is one of China Resources Land's projects in Chengdu with a better location. It has good greening and convenient transportation. It is very close to Shuangqiao Road and Wannianchang subway station. The shop he rented is also nearby. It is also a shopping mall created by China Resources, MixC.

It takes about 10 minutes to walk from where you live.

Chen Xing first went to the intersection to pick up Hu Sibin.

He seems to like wearing suits. This time he changed into a blue suit. Without the tense atmosphere during the interview, his whole state seemed much more natural.

"Boss." Hu Sibin shouted with a smile after seeing Chen Xing.

"Well, I'll take you to see where you'll work in the future."

Photography studios don’t need to be too high-profile, and they don’t have to be deliberately located in busy areas with a lot of people. Moreover, many commercial shoots and private shoot appointments are handled online. When shopping, you can find a professional photographer to take photos for you on the spur of the moment. There are very few people.

The studios Chen Xing had seen before were all relatively hidden, making it difficult for outsiders to find them.

But opening a cafe cannot be so casual. Chen Xing found this location after searching for a long time. It used to be a gold shop.

Walking into a shopping mall in Vientiane City, the two went up to the second floor.

Hu Sibin looked at the surrounding environment and said, "I haven't been here very often. You rented a shop here? Isn't it expensive?"

"It's okay." Chen Xing said.

In order to prevent disturbing passers-by, the outside of the shop rented by Chen Xing was completely covered with a large animation poster. The original glass door of the gold shop was also closed. If you go around this poster, you can see many workers. Unpack stuff inside.

To decorate it into the store he wants, the subsequent decoration is the most important.

Hu Sibin really wanted to ask Chen Xing how he wanted to make money.

The words were on his lips before he even asked.

The shops here are at least one to two thousand square meters, so the rent for Chen Xing's store alone is tens of thousands. Can these photographers earn back this money?
Chen Xing would be fine if he went out to pick up business and take photos.

When people in the store saw someone coming in at the door, they looked at it curiously. One of them said hello: "Hello, Boss Chen." "Hello."

Chen Xing nodded kindly to him, and then said to Hu Sibin: "How about opening a cafe in this location? I plan to decorate it in a retro style, with the theme of the development of the photography industry, and put up some good photography... …”

This is what Chen Xing has been wanting to do for the next half year, and now there is finally progress, which makes him feel very good.

"Retro style?" Hu Sibin asked with a frown.

His aesthetics are not low either. To put it simply and popularly, it can be seen as whether something can blend into the surrounding environment.

Chen Xing's store has L'Oreal on the left and Huawei Experience Store on the right. How to create a retro style in such an environment?
"Yes, retro, Lao Shanghai style to be precise."

This is an area that Chen Xing is familiar with. From the initial Chinese style, to the Hong Kong style, and then to the recently studied Lao Shang Hai style, these are all modern and simple styles with Chinese charm added to make the Chinese style more familiar. People like it, and Westerners don’t dislike it either.

Laoshang Haifeng is the so-called representative of classics and retro, plus a bit of implicit luxury.

Hu Sibin, Chen Xing's number one boss in the future, began to think about what it would be like to use Lao Shang Haifeng to decorate a modern store, but he couldn't figure out the final look.But considering that Chen Xing is also one of the best artists in the world, Chen Xing can probably think of everything he can think of.

Some inappropriate words were not mentioned.

Chen Xing continued: "Although there are not as many people here as other pedestrian streets, there are many young people. This is the target group of the photography industry, and it will be convenient to introduce it to people after opening here."

Hu Sibin nodded upon hearing this.

It's really easy to find. We all drove to Vientiane City.

Although Vientiane City is not as well-known as Taikoo Li or IFS, its retail sales have always been among the top three in Chengdu. Even though it has been traveling around the country in recent years, looking at the scene and the location of the mall in the Second Ring Road, There is no way he will fall out of the top five.

"I have never been here since it was built," Hu Sibin said.

"You can go shopping a little more."

He is not a person who likes to ask the boss questions. He has a good impression of Chen Xing, but he just doesn't understand the idea of ​​opening a cafe that sounds high in investment in a shopping mall.

However, after following Chen Xing and walking around the mall for a few times and seeing many other shops, Hu Sibin felt that he should understand.

Vientiane City is not a separate shopping mall, but a large business district. The shopping mall they are currently in is newly built and is completely different from the building he visited before.

If the shopping mall in the first phase is high-end and sophisticated, attracting the petty bourgeoisie group above white-collar workers, then this building is young and trendy.There are not only cafes, but also bistros, creative streets, haunted house experience halls, script killing halls, etc.

What is needed here is innovation, what is needed is to be different.

From this point of view, what Chen Xing just introduced may not be suitable in a traditional shopping mall, but it is very suitable in this environment. No matter whether the people who come here are bringing friends or their significant other, Anyway, people have to rest when they are tired from walking.

Or people who come early must have a place to stay.

Hu Sibin couldn't help but think of the Shanghaiyang House in the movies during the Republic of China, and suddenly felt that it was very comfortable to be in it with a cup of steaming coffee in front of him.
