What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 61 The first effect
After harvesting a wave of top aristocratic and wealthy businessmen, the operation of the camera is gradually on the right track.

After more than ten days of "hard maintenance", the Youjin Chamber of Commerce finally announced that it has fully mastered all the technologies of the photo camera and is confident that it will continue to operate for a long time.

From the first day of September, the four luxury stores under the chamber of commerce have simultaneously launched the business of taking photo cameras to serve the outside world.

The price of one shot is unified at 10 gold lang.

You can choose a full-body portrait, a bust portrait, or a close-up of the face, and the clarity is getting higher and higher from the front to the back.

If you take more than 10 pictures at a time, you can get a [-]% discount.

Due to technical and consumable reasons, the cost of two-person shooting will be higher, and the price for one shot is 13 gold lang.

However, limited by the venue, the current photo camera can only take family portraits of up to 5 people, and the price is only 30 gold lang, and a photo is included.

And the shop also hired professionals very intimately to help customers make suggestions on dressing and collocation before shooting, as well as choices of actions and expressions.

If noble customers do not want to go to the store in person, there are two options to choose from.

First, you can make an appointment in advance, and then the chamber of commerce will send a car and horse to pick you up and go to the shooting studio at the headquarters of the Youjin Chamber of Commerce. There will be dedicated service throughout the whole process, and tea and food are available. Of course, the price will be slightly higher.

Second, if they are willing to pay a little more "small price", the Chamber of Commerce can even drive the mobile video camera installed on a large mule cart to any area in Thunder City for door-to-door service.

……

It has to be said that there are more rich people in Thunder City than imagined.

Ten gold lang is already the income of a middle-class civilian family for a whole year, but in the luxury shops in the Garden District and the King District, you can only buy a wooden board with a photo printed on it.

However, the boom in sales even exceeded Phinea's expectations.

After all the stores were overcrowded, the Youjin Chamber of Commerce had to launch an appointment function. After all, letting a group of rich people line up in the store is definitely not the high-end service concept that the Chamber of Commerce has always followed.

And the Chamber of Commerce quickly promised that in the short term, it will urgently add 4 photo booths throughout the city. For this reason, it has specially leased additional shops, renovated them quickly, and only engaged in the business of taking pictures.

Photo cameras are not a one-off deal.

Countless ladies, after getting a satisfactory dress or jewelry, would want to take a photo first, and someone even took photos of the six pure-blooded Warcraft pet dogs at home one by one.

……

……

"I really don't understand, it's not that difficult for them to find an artist to paint for themselves, and the Artists Union in Thunder City has publicly stated their position - although the photos are realistic, they have no artistic value. "

Colin took a breath from the recent turnover that Feniya gave him, and was quite puzzled at the same time.

Within a month, the revenue was close to five figures.

Of course, the first batch of dignitaries who were harvested at a high price contributed more than 2000 gold Lang.

You must know that apart from the initial R & D and construction investment of the photo camera, there is only the loss of poplar boards and luminous stones. The top-quality poplar wood drawing boards cost 20 silver shields. Although luminous stones are expensive, they can be used for several days. There is little cost per photo.

On the contrary, it will cost a lot of publicity and venue labor in the later stage.

Even so, a photo that sells for 10 gold lang can still make a profit of more than 9 gold lang.

"That's because you don't understand their psychology."

Phineya smiled and said: "Freshness is only one aspect, on the other hand, for nobles, the important thing is not whether it is good or not, but what others have, and I must not have less.

"What's more, Mr. Wayne may not have painted a portrait. A handmade work often lasts for several months. Some people can't even see their own portraits before they die. The price of an excellent painter is far more than our photos.

"Also, for those top painters, except for a few dignitaries, ordinary wealthy businessmen really have no way to come and go with them at will, and the works of ordinary painters are not so rare."

Colin nodded, not too entangled in this matter.

He looked at the account books for a while, frowned and said, "Ma'am, I know your kindness, but in terms of profit sharing, I suggest that you formulate a more reasonable plan, otherwise I doubt that the chamber of commerce will lose money."

Ke Lin looked at his personal income on the ledger. Although he was tempted, he felt too greedy.

After all, on the one hand, the Chamber of Commerce bears all the material and operating costs, and on the other hand, half of the money it earns is distributed to Roman Sagan.

Phineya 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, the Chamber of Commerce also treats other magicians and craftsmen equally. .

"In addition, Mr. Wayne may not be aware that in addition to the photos themselves, the photo camera also brings in a lot of additional peripheral income, such as the personal service we provide to customers, the transportation of horses and horses, and the income from purchasing other products when we come to the store to take pictures. , These, I will not be polite to you."

"Ok."

Colin thought about it, but in the end he just nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

He didn't stay for dinner at the chamber of commerce, but rushed back to practice with his senior sister. After more days of practice, the ancient elf meditation method slowly showed additional effects, and he couldn't wait to test the effect.

Just as Phineya sent Colin out, she heard some noise coming from the direction of the chamber of commerce.

"What's going on?" Feniya frowned and asked Harvey beside her.

"It's Mr. Wald. He has been coming to the chamber of commerce for several days to ask to see you." Harvey bowed his head.

"Still promoting his messy stuff?" Phineya sighed.

"Yes, I haven't seen him for more than a year, but after the photo camera came out this time, for some reason, Mr. Wald started to mess around again." Harvey said in a rather helpless tone.

"What's wrong?" Colin asked with some doubts when he heard the conversation between the two.

Feniya smiled slightly awkwardly: "It's a junior magician named Wald, who started to promote his research around a few years ago, but unfortunately no one paid attention to it because of illogical logic, and then gradually disappeared. , but these days it seems to have reappeared."

"Walder?"

Colin was slightly taken aback, as if he had never heard of this name before, and then immediately remembered that President Payne had mentioned him.

According to Berkeley, Colin Wayne's preliminary assessment written test score is the third in the history of 20 years.

The second one is named Oliver, and he went to the Advanced Magic Academy of the Youlan Alliance in the Western Continent for further study a few years ago.

And the guy in the first place seems to be called Walder.
