Chapter 61 Initial Results
After ruthlessly harvesting a wave of top aristocratic and wealthy businessmen, the operation of the video camera gradually got back on track.
After more than ten days of "hard-working repairs", Youjin Chamber of Commerce finally announced that it has completely mastered all the technology of the photo camera and is confident that it can continue to operate for a long time.
Starting from the first day of September, the four luxury stores under the Chamber of Commerce have also launched the business of providing external services with video cameras.
The price for a photo shoot is 10 jinlang.
You can choose a full-length portrait, a bust portrait, or a close-up of the face, with the clarity getting higher and higher from front to back.
If you take more than 10 photos at a time, you can get a 20% discount.
Due to technical and consumable reasons, the cost of two-person shooting will be higher, with a price of 13 gold francs.
Due to limited space, the current photo camera can only take family photos of up to 5 people. The price is only 30 gold francs and comes with a photo.
In addition, the store also thoughtfully hired professionals to help customers with clothing matching suggestions, as well as action and facial expression choices before shooting.
If the noble customer does not want to go to the store in person, there are two options to choose from.
Within a month, the revenue was close to five figures.
You must know that apart from the initial investment in R&D and construction of the photo machine, the only loss is the poplar board and the luminous stone. A good poplar drawing board costs 20 silver shields. Although the luminous stone is expensive, one can be used for several days. If you divide it into
Each photo costs almost nothing.
He looked at the account book for a while, frowned and said: "Madam, I know your good intentions, but in terms of profit sharing, I suggest you draft a more reasonable plan, otherwise I doubt that the Chamber of Commerce will lose money."
I have to say that there are more wealthy people in Thunder City than imagined.
Colin looked at the income that was purely his own in the account book. Although he was moved, he also felt that it was too greedy.
"What's wrong?" Colin asked with some confusion after hearing the conversation between the two.
Despite this, for a photo priced at 10 gold francs, the profit can still reach more than 9 gold francs.
"Yes, I haven't seen him for more than a year, but after the camera came out, for some reason, Mr. Walder started to bother me again." Harvey said in a rather helpless tone.
Video cameras are not a one-time deal.
Second, if you are willing to pay a little more "a small price", the Chamber of Commerce can even drive a mobile photo camera mounted on a large mule cart to any area in Thunder City to provide door-to-door service.
Colin thought for a while, but in the end he just nodded slightly and said nothing more.
On the contrary, the later publicity and venue labor will cost a lot.
Feniya smiled and said: "The pursuit of novelty is only one aspect. On the other hand, for nobles, what is important is not whether it is good or not, but what others have, and I must not lack it.
Fenia smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "It's a junior magician named Wald. He started promoting his research everywhere a few years ago. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to it because of the illogical logic, and then he gradually disappeared.
, but it seems to have reappeared in the past few days.”
"Furthermore, for those top painters, except for a few powerful people, ordinary wealthy businessmen really can't just come and go when they call for it, and the works of ordinary painters are not that rare."
…
First, you can make an appointment in advance, and then the Chamber of Commerce will send carriages and horses to take you to the shooting studio at the headquarters of the Youjin Chamber of Commerce. There will be dedicated service throughout the entire process, and tea and food are available. Of course, the price will be slightly higher.
Moreover, the Chamber of Commerce quickly promised that in the short term, it would urgently add 4 photo camera locations throughout the city. For this purpose, it rented additional shops and quickly renovated them to only do photography business.
Colin took a look at the recent turnover that Fenia gave him, and while taking a deep breath, he was also quite puzzled.
After all, the Chamber of Commerce bears all material and operating costs on the one hand, and on the other hand, half of the money earned is given to Roman Sagan.
"Still promoting his messy stuff?" Fenia sighed.
Colin nodded, not too entangled in the matter.
After all the stores were crowded, Youjin Chamber of Commerce had to launch a reservation function. After all, letting a group of wealthy people line up in the store is definitely not the high-end service concept that the Chamber of Commerce has always followed.
"What's more, Mr. Venn may not have painted a portrait before. A handmade work can often last for several months, and some people may not even see their own portrait before they die. The price of an excellent painter is far higher than our photos.
However, the popularity of sales even exceeded Fenia's expectations.
Of course, the first batch of powerful people who were harvested at a high price contributed more than two thousand gold langs.
…
"I really don't understand. It's not that difficult for them to find a painter to paint for themselves, and the Federation of Painters in Thunder City has publicly stated its position - although the photos are realistic in depiction, they have no artistic value.
"
…
"Ward?"
Just as Feniya was sending Colin out, she heard some noise coming from the direction of the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce.
Fenia smiled and said: "In terms of business sharing, we have always followed the principle of substitutability. Whoever is more irreplaceable should get a higher proportion of remuneration. This point is also treated equally by the Chamber of Commerce for other magicians and craftsmen.
.
10 gold francs is already a whole year's income for a middle-class civilian family, but in the luxury stores in the Garden District and King's District, you can only buy a wooden board with a photo printed on it.
He did not stay for dinner at the Chamber of Commerce, but hurried back to meet his senior sister for training. After more days of practice, the ancient elf meditation method gradually showed additional effects, and he could not wait to test the effect.
"All right."
After countless ladies get a dress or jewelry that they are satisfied with, they will want to take a photo as a souvenir. Some people even took photos of their six pure-blooded World of Warcraft pet dogs one by one.
"It's Mr. Walder. He has been coming to the Chamber of Commerce for several days asking to see you." Harvey lowered his head and said.
"In addition, Mr. Wein may not know that in addition to the photos themselves, the photo camera also generates a lot of additional peripheral income, such as the personal services we provide to customers, carriage and horse transportation, and the income from purchasing other products when we come to the store to take pictures.
, I won’t be polite to you anymore.”
"That's because you don't understand their psychology."
"What's going on?" Fenia asked Harvey beside her with a frown.
Colin was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard this name before, and then immediately remembered that President Payne had mentioned him.
According to Berkeley, Colin Venn's preliminary written examination score was the third highest in history in the past 20 years.
The second one is named Oliver, who went to the Advanced Magic Academy of the Blue Alliance in the Western Continent a few years ago to further his studies.
And the guy in first place seems to be named Walder.
