Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 213 Cooperating to Open a Photo Gallery
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked: "Have you thought about it before? The photo studio business is still very profitable!"

"Who doesn't know how to make money?" Liu Xingba explained: "But if you want to invest in a photo studio, you must have your own equipment to develop photos, and you also have to pay for a part of the film. This all costs money!"

Xue Ling was thoughtful and whispered: "As far as I know, there is only a small photo studio in Rongcheng, right?"

"Yes, even though they are small, business is booming!" Liu Xing explained: "The photos our newspaper wants are all developed in that place. You need a camera to take pictures. One costs several hundred dollars. Not everyone can afford it. . In addition, film costs more than 20 yuan, and developing photos also costs money, so no one will buy a camera just to take pictures. Of course, they have to go to a photo studio to take pictures!"

Liu Xingtan added: "I had just graduated and was interning in a newspaper. My family's finances were not bad, so I secretly saved money. I earned an internship salary of 100 yuan a month. I saved for more than half a year before I bought that. A Phoenix camera. By far, it is the most valuable item in our family, and I worship it as a god."

Xue Ling smiled softly.

It will take more than 30 years for smartphones to become popular, and it will take another 20 years for cameras and photo studios to flourish.

During this period, you should still be able to make money by investing in a photo studio. After all, it is a technical job and not everyone can take pictures.In addition, there are no point-and-shoot cameras yet, and cameras are not cheap either. It shouldn’t be difficult to make this kind of money.

"Don't you already have a camera?" Xue Ling said, "This will save a big investment."

Liu Xing's eyes lit up and he smiled.

"I do like taking pictures, but it's a high-end job, and a poor boy like me can't afford it. When I was studying in the provincial capital, I lived frugally and studied under a teacher. After graduation, I also joined the Photography Association. It’s a pity that I can’t look back on the past! Now I only have rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, so how can I dare to hope for the art of photography!”

Xue Ling chuckled and asked, "You haven't gotten married yet, but your will is already so bad. Then when you get married and have children, won't you lose all your fighting spirit?"

Liu Xing blew a beer bottle and muttered: "Fighting spirit and art are all based on affluent conditions. Where did I get the money? I'd better live a good life first and marry my beloved wife."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and asked simply: "I invest in a photo studio, let's make money together, how about?"

what? !

Liu Xing jumped up excitedly and asked: "Really?! Yes! Of course I want it! I will work for you and run errands for you. As long as you can let me touch the camera and take pictures, just give me a few yuan of salary!"

Xue Ling couldn't help laughing again and said: "Isn't that right! You still have high morale, but because you have been pushed a little hard this time, you will inevitably feel a little sad. How do we invest in the photo studio? Let’s discuss it carefully.”

Liu Xing hugged the beer bottle and said excitedly: "Actually, I have thought about it before and planned it carefully! Investing in a photo studio is actually to find a good place to rent, preferably in a neighborhood where people come and go. , as long as the decoration is artistic, it will definitely be very attractive. Then you just need to buy a set of photo developing equipment, add some film and some special photo developing paper, which is basically enough."

Xue Ling is not proficient in this industry, but she is also someone who has held a camera and understands the general process.

"Actually, the main reason is that cameras and photo development equipment are expensive, and photography requires technology, and photo development also requires technology. Liu Xing, this is suitable for you, and you rely on technology to make money."

Liu Xing nodded hurriedly, "It's a good fit for me! I can take photos and develop photos, and I already have a good camera."

Xue Ling asked: "How much does photo development equipment cost? Where can I buy it? Do you know what it is?"

"Yes!" Liu Xing replied: "You have to go to the machinery factory in the provincial capital to order it, but it is expensive equipment. I have read in the newspaper before that the black and white ones are cheaper -"

"No!" Xue Ling interrupted him, "Color cameras and photo printers have already appeared. Since we want to invest, we must invest in the most advanced ones, otherwise how can we compete with others! We must strive for the most cutting-edge and best technology. The best competitive capital, understand?”

Liu Xing nodded in agreement, with a low and uneasy voice: "If it's color photo development, it might cost three to four thousand, or more than 3000 to be conservative."

"No problem." Xue Ling said: "I will be responsible for investing in all the equipment and rent, and you will be responsible for taking the photos and developing them. If we divide the money - just sixty-four cents, okay? Because my investment is relatively large." "Eighty-two cents is fine." Liu Xing smiled excitedly and said: "As long as I can make a few more yuan a day, it will be fine! You invested a lot of money, I - I can't let you lose too much."

Xue Ling shook his head and explained: "The investment is just the initial stage, and I can't help with anything. The subsequent operations and work will all depend on you, and in addition to making money myself, I also want to give you a hand. We are friends! Okay, I’m six and you’re four, that’s it.”

Liu Xing's eyes were filled with tears and he whispered: "Then... we will pay half of the rent per person. If we make money in the future, we will have to pay you back some of the capital."

"It won't be too late then." Xue Ling said: "You can order the machine first, and then find a suitable place to rent it with a large flow of people, okay?"

"Okay! Okay!" Liu Xing patted his chest, "It's a holiday tomorrow, I'll go to the provincial capital immediately to do it!"

The two talked about some more details. Liu Xing was very professional and had been tempted before, so his ideas were very detailed and detailed.

Xue Ling nodded and explained: "I'm about to give birth, and I don't understand this industry, so I can only be responsible for investment. Just wait, I will give you some money to order machines and rent a house."

"Is it convenient for you?" Liu Xing lowered his voice: "Getting so much money at once..."

Xue Ling smiled slightly and whispered: "It's convenient. I've made a little money recently. It's enough to buy a few camera washers."

"Wow!" Liu Xing's eyes were filled with stars, "You are amazing!"

Xue Ling plans to go to Chengjiacun tomorrow to buy land, and has asked Cheng Tianyuan to withdraw 2 yuan for her and keep it with her.

About 4000 yuan is enough there, and I have [-] yuan left.

She turned around and entered the clothing store, and quickly came out with 3000 yuan in her arms.

"You don't need to pay the full price to order the machine. You pay half first, and rent the rest first. If you don't have enough, come and get it from me. Write down how much you spend and keep a ledger."

"Don't worry, I will remember every penny." Liu Xing looked at the wad of money, very nervous, "This is too much... I will get flustered if I take it."

Xue Ling looked at his tall and thin figure and felt uneasy thinking about it.

"How about this? I'll find someone who is familiar with the provincial capital to accompany you, and he can also help you keep an eye on the money. One more person, one more person to take care of. Do you think that's okay?"

"Who is it? Is he free?" Liu Xing asked.

Xue Ling smiled and replied: "His name is Ahu, and he is an employee of the Ministry of Transportation. He can drive, and he has a tricycle. He just went to the provincial capital to buy a car a while ago, and the roads are very familiar. I feel relieved to ask him to accompany you. some."

"Great!" Liu Xing barely applauded and asked, "Is he free?"

"Yes!" Xue Ling said, "Wait a minute. I'll ask him to come over. You two can get to know each other and we can set off after we agree on a time."

"Great!" Liu Xing was extremely happy.
