Chapter 289 Making money again (4000) Just a few hundred short, go first
That night, Cao Shujie waved a big flag toward the sky, vowing to poke a hole in the sky!
There is a saying that women are made of water. Cao Shujie didn't quite understand it before, but he understood it this time.
Selling hundreds of kilograms of strawberries every day, he earned tens of thousands of dollars. This kind of comfortable and good life made Cao Shujie a little addicted.
Until Xu Yunhua called him, Cao Shujie almost forgot about this person.
But when he saw the note "Wedding Photographer Xu Yunhua", Cao Shujie knew who he was.
"Mr. Cao, I have 12 couples here who want to take wedding photos in your orchard. Is it convenient for you?" Xu Yunhua asked him.
Cao Shujie didn't have a second answer at all: "When will you come?"
"If it's convenient, we can go there the day after tomorrow." Xu Yunhua said.
Since the last time he took wedding photos for Zhang Jifeng and Gao Lina in Cao Shujie's orchard, Xu Yunhua had great expectations to promote the new location of Cao Shujie's "Cute Orchard".
He thought this new location would achieve great results, but in fact that was not the case.
Anyone who wants to come to Cao Shujie's orchard for wedding photography will have to pay an additional 1,000 yuan in "venue usage fees" in addition to the original package price. This additional price increase alone makes people feel uncomfortable and naturally creates a threshold.
In addition, many people working in factories now earn less than 2,000 yuan a month.
This 1,000 yuan is really not a small amount of money for ordinary people.
Asking them to take half a month's salary as 'venue usage fee', not everyone can be as free and easy as Zhang Jifeng, who doesn't take money as seriously.
Xu Yunhua and the others encountered difficulties in promoting the new external filming location of 'Meng Meng Orchard'. They wanted to solve it, but there was no better way.
They can only promote it while continuing to conduct business at the same pace as before.
After all the wedding photos of Zhang Jifeng and Gao Lina were taken out and refined, when he saw these background pictures, a thought flashed in Xu Yunhua's mind.
After first soliciting the opinions of Zhang Jifeng and his wife, he enlarged several profile photos of Zhang Jifeng and his wife with the 'Mengmeng Orchard' as the background and hung them prominently in the wedding photo studio at the cost of a 40% discount on the fee.
The position was used as a promotional poster, and this matter immediately changed.
From that day on, many young people who came to inquire about taking wedding photos saw the newly posted promotional posters at the photo studio, and many of them were attracted by the backgrounds in the pictures.
They are all asking where the background is? Can they go and film it?
Of course, some people think that this background is unreal and seems to have been uploaded.
However, the photo studio repeatedly told them that the background was completely real. They also used their computer to open Youku and showed them various videos shot by "Meng Meng Orchard" with orchards as the background.
As a result, more and more young couples choose to use the "Mengmeng Orchard" as their location for filming.
As for the issue of spending money.
Before posting these promotional posters, no matter how beautiful Xu Yunhua and the others said about the place "Mengmeng Orchard", there was always a feeling that their words were unfounded.
Now we have these promotional posters, and we play various videos of 'Meng Meng Orchard' to the young couples who come to inquire about 'wedding photos' and let them watch the real-life videos. In this way, people will choose this place.
more and more.
Xu Yunhua calculated their ability to take wedding photos. After collecting 12 young couples, he called Cao Shujie to consult him about the situation.
Not surprisingly, Cao Shujie readily agreed to the matter on the phone, and also told them that there is a farm restaurant under the orchard, and the dishes are delicious and not expensive!
When Xu Yunhua heard the news, he felt better. This made up for the inconvenience of eating here.
After deciding with Cao Shujie, Xu Yunhua began to notify the 12 young couples who were going to take wedding photos at the Mengmeng Orchard, asking them to prepare in advance and set off the day after tomorrow.
Cao Shujie turned around and told his wife about the matter.
After Cheng Xiaolin found out, she even teased him: "It's been so long. I thought no one else came to take wedding photos with us except Brother Zhang. It turns out we all came here together."
"Who knows, they can come if they want to. Anyway, just give us money." Cao Shujie didn't care about these details.
…
Two days later, at around 4 a.m., a bus departed from Yiling City carrying 12 young couples and a dozen staff members.
They arrived at Caojiazhuang more than two hours later.
After arriving here, Xu Yunhua then dialed Cao Shujie's phone number.
At this time, Cao Shujie was walking his dog in the orchard. He didn't expect Xu Yunhua and the others to come so quickly.
"Master Xu, you can just come up directly." Cao Shujie said on the phone.
The bus drove to the turning platform on the mountain without any difficulty.
The bus driver thought it was incredible.
He also knew about this place before coming here and knew that it was an orchard.
But then again, who would build a road that can accommodate buses just to plant orchards on the mountain?
But he didn't even believe that this built mountain road existed before.
When he drove the car to the turning platform in one breath, turned a corner easily, and turned around, the driver knew something was wrong. It was obviously built by orchardists. They built roads and built this platform.
The purpose is self-evident.
"Let me tell you first, after you get off the car later, you can move around freely, but don't go too far. This is a mountain after all, and we still put safety first." Xu Yunhua saw the 12 newlyweds taking photos.
After getting off the car, he shouted several times and explained various precautions to everyone.
"Teacher Xu, shall we take the photo later? Where should we change clothes?" someone asked.
Xu Yunhua pointed to the small house in the orchard and said, "We will go there to change clothes later. Men and women are separated. There are also bathrooms. Do you have anything else to ask?"
"Teacher Xu, can I stroll around in this orchard?" a woman asked.
Xu Yunhua glanced at her and couldn't remember her name, but it didn't matter: "You can wander around as you like. As long as you don't pick their fruits or damage their fruit trees and equipment, you can wander around the orchard at will. There is no charge!"
"Teacher Xu, what kind of fruit can you pick now? Is it the strawberry mentioned on the Internet?" Someone has already set his sights on the orchard in front.
"Yes, there are strawberries in there. If you want to pick them, you can go in and pick some to try. The fruits grown in this orchard do taste very good, but you have to pay!" Xu Yunhua made it clear to them in advance so that they would not miss it later.
Nothing unpleasant happens again.
It also prevents them from thinking that they can do whatever they want in this orchard after paying a 1,000 yuan site usage fee.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished talking about this, someone asked if the 1,000 yuan venue usage fee could not include the cost of picking fruits?
Others say how much does it cost to pick fruits?
The implication is that they still have some objections to the extra 1,000 yuan spent on the 'venue use fee'.
But when Xu Yunhua said that picking strawberries here costs NT$35 per pound, no one at the scene said anything.
This price is really not low!
"oh……"
"Oh woo!"
"Woof woof!"
Several different barking sounds suddenly came from the orchard, frightening the young couples who had just got out of the car.
Not long after, they saw Cao Shujie leading four big dogs and five small dogs out of the orchard. This lineup shocked the young couples outside who came to take wedding photos.
Some women were so frightened that they moved closer to their partners, fearing that the dogs inside would rush out and bite them.
But someone also recognized Cao Shujie and the nine dogs he was holding, four large and five small.
The next moment, Xu Yunhua and Cao Shujie greeted each other, and the names they shouted confirmed the guesses of a small number of people.
"Boss Cao, good morning."
"Master Xu, why did you come so early? I thought you came here at seven or eight o'clock!" Cao Shujie was quite surprised.
Then I heard Xu Yunhua say: "Finish the filming early, finish the work early, the later it is delayed, the hotter the weather will be."
This is true.
As time enters late May, the temperature is getting higher and higher, reaching 34 degrees in some areas.
"Master Xu, hurry up and get busy. I'll tell them later and leave the room for you." Cao Shujie led the nine dogs and walked closer and closer.
He pointed to the north and said to Xu Yunhua: "If any of you are hungry, there is a farm restaurant over there. The food is hygienic and the price is very affordable."
"If you want to eat something special, the beef over there is pretty good, but it's a bit expensive." Cao Shujie said, and remembered something: "But you can drink beef soup, which is more affordable, and beef is all
They are raised with fruits and grass in my orchard with a small amount of feed, and the meat quality is absolutely good."
"I'll find someone to wash you some strawberries later and bring them over. Okay, you go ahead and get busy." Cao Shujie took the dog and was about to go down the mountain from the south road.
When Xu Yunhua saw Cao Shujie about to leave, he called out to him: "Boss Cao, wait a minute."
"Master Xu, is there anything else?" Cao Shujie grabbed the big dogs and made them unhappy. They all bared their teeth to scare people.
Xu Yunhua came over with a hand-held paper bag. Seeing the logo of a certain brand of shoes painted on the bag, Cao Shujie thought that he probably found this bag temporarily.
"Boss Cao, here are the venue usage fees for 12 people. Count them." He said to Cao Shujie.
This means that another 12,000 yuan has been received, and this money is channel income. He does not have to do anything and just earn it.
Cao Shujie didn't show any pretense. He took the paper handbag and said with a smile: "Master Xu, I still trust you. The money doesn't count. You go ahead and get busy. If anything happens, let's call you."
But he didn't say a word. If there is a problem this time, there will be no cooperation next time.
He believed that Xu Yunhua would definitely not play such tricks.
Xu Yunhua naturally didn't know what Cao Shujie was thinking. When he saw Cao Shujie being so upright, his view of Cao Shujie changed again and again.
"Okay, let's go to the cabin to change clothes and get ready to start taking wedding photos." Xu Yunhua shouted.
…
Let's say that Cao Shujie led nine dogs and came down from the mountain carrying the paper bag that Xu Yunhua just handed him. After returning home, Cao Shujie tied the nine dogs in the kennel and went upstairs carrying the paper bag containing the money.
At this time, his wife was already awake and was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone. After Cao Shujie entered the bedroom, he shook the paper bag in his hand at her: "Honey, I just earned 12,000 yuan, you think I'm great!"
"What do you do for money?" Cheng Xiaolin just asked this question, and then she remembered something: "They came over to take wedding photos?"
"Yes, there are 12 couples taking wedding photos today, and the price is exactly 12,000 yuan." Cao Shujie said.
"This is really a lot of people." Cheng Xiaolin was surprised. She even asked her husband: "Husband, is today a good day?"
"I don't know about this. I didn't hear them discussing what a good day today is." Cao Shujie usually doesn't pay attention to this.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't bother to pay attention.
Since getting married and having Mengmeng, she has become less sensitive to special occasions.
"Forget it, let's just make money anyway." That's what Cheng Xiaolin said?
Cao Shujie also smiled and nodded: "You are right."
Ignoring this matter, Cao Shujie said to his wife: "Get up quickly, someone will be here soon."
"Okay, I'll get up right now." When Cheng Xiaolin was lying on the bed, nothing happened, but now that she was asked to get up, she started to yawn again.
Cao Shujie felt helpless when he saw her like this.
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaolin was not a lazy person, and she got up soon.
Seeing her daughter Mengmeng still sleeping with her butt stuck out, Cheng Xiaolin ignored her and went directly downstairs to cook.
Cao Shujie was in the small room outside on the second floor, turning on his computer and browsing the latest news online.
The fight is booming abroad, and the domestic entertainment industry is also booming. People's ears are busy with all kinds of rumors.
Many netizens have no time to distinguish which information is true or false, and often just express their emotions and make complaints based on their own intuitive judgment.
Cao Shujie looked at the comments and found that there were really many talented people in the comment area, so he just thought it was a joke.
I don’t know how much time passed before Mengmeng woke up.
When she opened her eyes, she was still a little angry. When she didn't see her parents, she burst into tears.
"Mengmeng, dad is here." Cao Shujie quickly left the computer and ran into the bedroom.
Seeing her father come in, Mengmeng's mood immediately stabilized: "Dad, what are you doing?"
"Dad is busy outside, what else can he do?" Cao Shujie said.
"Come here, I'll help you get dressed."
When Mengmeng heard what her father said, she crawled to the bedside and thought it was quite fun.
Cao Shujie had no choice but to say: "Mengmeng, there are many uncles and aunties coming to the orchard today to take wedding photos. They are all dressed up beautifully. After dinner later, I will take you up to take a look, okay?"
"Okay, I want to wear beautiful clothes too." As Mengmeng spoke, she immediately lost sight of the little pants her father was holding. She shouted, "Dad, I want to wear a skirt and tie my hair in braids."
"You are so worried!" Cao Shujie hurriedly went to find his daughter's dress.
I'm ashamed to say that I had a quarrel with my wife in the middle of the night. Instead of making excuses, I uploaded it first and will update more tomorrow.
