Young Again

Chapter 36: After the boom, there are still business opportunities

When Chen Wang said this, the boss paused for a moment and smiled as if he didn't care too much.

But when I saw him holding a camera, I knew he might really have some ideas.

Li Xintong was also stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Wang, not quite understanding what he wanted to do.

But that serious expression didn't seem like he was joking.

Through getting to know him these days, Li Xintong knew that Chen Wang was a man with strong action ability.

"I'll do some promotion for you." Looking at the boss, Chen Wang said.

"What kind of promotion? Handing out flyers?" the proprietress asked curiously.

In his opinion, the only advertising a small business can do now is to distribute flyers.

As for other advertisements, such as square screens, elevators, and taxi ads, they require large stores. Small businesses, especially breakfast shops, don’t even hand out flyers, because the conversion rate of flyers is very low. They mainly rely on the advantages of location and word of mouth to attract repeat customers.

Even though the entrance is so blocked, there are still customers coming, which is the repeat customer effect.

"If you say you are a TV reporter and can help with publicity, then I would believe you," said the boss, smiling.

"I can put you in touch with A Bite of China."

"Really?" The boss looked surprised.

"It must be fake."

Chen Wang was speechless and said formally, "I am talking to you seriously, you should be serious too, we are discussing cooperation."

“Okay, okay, okay.” Seeing that he was so serious and that things had come to this, the boss sat down opposite him, took out a Blue House from his pocket, handed it to him, and showed enough respect to the partner, “Come on, let’s talk.”

Chen Wang took the cigarette and put it in his ear.

Li Xintong: “…”

Did you pick up the cigarette?

"I'll just take a few photos here, and then in a few days, your business will pick up." Chen Wang said lightly.

"Boast."

The boss was about to light a cigarette, but when he saw a girl sitting opposite him, he put the cigarette in his hand and said jokingly, "If you just take a few photos, my business will improve. Is it so easy to make money?"

Have.

This money is really easy to make.

"Then tell me, what should we do if business really picks up?" Chen Wang asked back like a provocative elementary school student.

"Business is really getting better. I mean much better than before. So the extra money I make will be split 30% and 70% of the profit," said the boss generously.

"Why am I only 70%?"

"Seventy percent is mine!"

The boss was really impressed. What was this kid thinking?

"But I don't want your money." Chen Wang said.

"Then what is the purpose of the cooperation you are discussing?" the boss asked in surprise.

"When the time comes, just help me with a small thing. It won't cost any money. Besides, it's quite simple." Chen Wang said mysteriously.

"can."

The boss raised his head and said calmly.

"Then come now."

Since they had almost finished eating, Chen Wang stood up and said to the two of them, "You have to cooperate with me."

"I didn't expect you were a photographer, and you look pretty good at it." The boss still had that playful attitude and treated Chen Wang like a child.

And because I'm just entertaining a child, I'll cooperate with some of the things he suggests.

After all, there are not many customers now, so it doesn’t affect my business.

"You always kill fresh fish, so you must have a fish tank, right?" Chen Wang asked.

"Yes, in the backstage, let me kill a fish for you?" asked the boss.

"It's too bloody and unnecessary."

This is also something that needs attention. As a promotional picture, it should not cause any visual discomfort to people.

Moreover, in the future, when the review is more stringent, the process of killing fish will basically not be used as promotional footage. It will either be censored or skipped.

"Turn on the lights, clean the fish tank, and tidy up the kitchen."

Chen Wang, holding the camera, suddenly became sharp and decisive when taking pictures, and he felt very comfortable "ordering" others around.

The proprietress was a very warm and gentle person, so she did as I asked with a smile.

"OK, that's enough."

After taking several photos to ensure that there were usable photos, Chen Wang left the kitchen.

Then, I stood at the door of the store and took several photos of the entire store of 'My Caiyu Noodle House' in succession to ensure that I had usable material.

"Boss, please make a bowl of fish noodles."

Then, Chen Wang began to frame the most important product and gave a strict requirement: "Use your lifelong skills to make the best-looking bowl."

Because he hadn't eaten yet, the boss didn't want to waste the next bowl of noodles, so he did as he was told. Moreover, he didn't use the fish that had been sliced just now, but picked a big fish again, and used the knife as much as possible to slice the fish thinly and big.

Also, put more fish than usual.

The so-called good appearance actually means rich colors. After finishing a bowl of noodles with great concentration, the boss sprinkled the freshest chopped green onions on top.

Just like that, a bowl of local specialty noodles that is delicious and appetizing just by looking at it is ready.

After adjusting the mode, Chen Wang used a large aperture to shoot the bowl of noodles from various angles.

At least a dozen. Li Xintong was standing nearby, almost shoulder to shoulder with him, and commented: "This one is good, it looks quite rich."

"OK, that's about enough." Chen Wang said.

"If you want to make flyers, you have to take pictures of all the other noodles we have. Eel noodles, pork intestines rice noodles, ginseng soup noodles, and hot dry noodles..."

"Take it." Chen Wang clenched his fist. "One is enough. Highlight the selling point."

As for how many photos are needed in total, Chen Wang plans to take only four, making them as intuitive and accurate as possible.

A store door shows the address, a fish tank highlights the selling point, a fish bowl displays the products, and the last words...

"Boss, stand with Auntie and hold a spoon in your hand."

For the last picture, Chen Wang is going to show the story.

Hearing this, the proprietress became a little shy.

But seeing that the SLR in his hand was quite professional, she leaned against the boss and held his arm. After posing, she asked Chen Wang embarrassedly: "Should I go change clothes?"

"It's okay, it's fine like this, beautiful."

While typing OK, Chen Wang reminded the boss who was a little tense: "Don't be so fierce, be more gentle. Hey, think about it, you are a top chef interviewed by A Bite of China..."

Chen Wang not only took the photos, but also provided very professional language guidance, allowing the two people to cooperate very well with the filming.

The example of Li Xintong also proves that Canon can take beautiful photos of people.

The two of them looked at the photos in the SLR, and their eyes were filled with satisfaction.

"Boy, you can work in wedding planning in the future," the boss praised.

"Either they ask me to work part-time or do wedding planning. Can't they expect anything good from me?" Chen Wang complained.

"Can you give us this photo?" asked the proprietress.

"No problem, I'll bring it to you next time I wash it." Chen Wang said.

"That's fine, that's fine." The proprietress smiled with satisfaction and repeated it repeatedly.

Now that he had taken the photos and finished his noodles, there was no point for Chen Wang to stay here, so he prepared to pay and leave.

"Yours, please."

When the boss saw that he was about to pay, he directly covered the QR code with his hand and said generously: "Since we are partners, I will waive it for you this time."

Chen Wang knew that the boss did not believe that he could bring good business to the store.

It can be said that it is complete disbelief.

The reason why he treated us so generously was probably because he felt he was helping and this was his hard work pay.

In other words, the photo just taken has already been paid for.

"Thank you." Chen Wang said with a smile, and then said, "Boss, give me your WeChat. I have something else to discuss with you in detail."

"Okay."

In this way, the two reached a "cooperation".

When Chen Wang and Li Xintong were leaving, the boss smiled and said, "Remember to show me the flyers when they are ready."

In response, Chen Wang just smiled.

As the two walked on the road, Li Xintong asked curiously, "There are many shops like this, and this kind of noodles is everywhere. How can it attract people?"

"What if I say that a boss who owns three houses in Jiangcheng comes to Jiangchuan just to make a bowl of noodles?"

"..." Hearing this, Li Xintong suddenly felt that it seemed very interesting. She wanted to try the quality of the bowl of noodles that the boss made just for her.

But what she was more curious about was: "Does the boss really have three apartments in Jiangcheng?"

Chen Wang was amused by Li Xintong's naivety: "I also said I have three girlfriends."

"You really don't have three girlfriends."

Li Xintong looked at him and teased him with some contempt: "But I can hear your desire for three girlfriends."

"So what? The more of this stuff, the better."

"Tsk." Li Xintong snorted and then asked, "Then why do you make this into a flyer for free?"

“Who told you I was going to make flyers?”

"Then what are you going to do?"

Faced with this question, Chen Wang showed a relaxed smile.

In 2013, there were few opportunities. Those big opportunities were already monopolized by others. If you intervene, you will only be squeezed out.

But there are endless ideas, like dandelions blowing across the mountains.

This year, Tik Tok has not been released yet.

There are still three years to go until the first year of short videos.

Platforms such as Kuaishou and Weipai are doing some cruel things that are hard for future generations to imagine.

Bilibili still allows people who like something to enter now, instead of just allowing people with money to enter as it did later.

To be honest, the timing and external conditions for visiting the store are not yet in place.

But as Chen Wang said, what we need now is to plant a tree.

"So where are you going to post it?" Li Xintong continued to ask curiously, "Kuaishou or Tieba?"

“It’s QQ Space.”

"..." Li Xintong reacted, "Oh, I understand. You want to post a message and let your classmates forward it. But how many people can you forward it to?"

When Li Xintong was puzzled, Chen Wang asked again: "Did I tell you to send it using my QQ?"
