As streaks of white light flashed by, photos were taken one after another.
It was the first time for the little girls to see the camera. They were a little nervous at first. They didn’t know how to pose at all, so they just stood there straight!
Later, after some guidance from Ying Feiyu, I slowly relaxed and gradually learned how to pose!
Soon, the sky darkened, and the lights in the garden came on instantly.
With the help of the light, several people took a few more pictures until the film ran out, and then they called it a day!
The little girls left the garden happily and went back to their homes. Ying Feiyu also returned to the palace to develop the photos!
Developing photos is not complicated, but it still takes some time to develop so many photos at once!
The next day, the Chinese Academy of Sciences sent a lot of negatives. Ying Feiyu took his camera to Yuxiu Palace and took a lot of photos of Lian'er!
Immediately after, came the concubines, princesses, and princes in the palace!
Everyone has seen the photos of Ying Zheng looking energetic and wanted to take a few pictures!
After that, many retired senators from the court came to see him.
As soon as he entered the door, he played the emotional card, saying that he had been fighting for the imperial court all his life.
The ultimate goal is to get Ying Feiyu to take a family photo for them!
If it were any other minister, Ying Feiyu would definitely be a loser.
They probably understood this, so they dug out their ancestors and asked them to open their mouths!
Ying Feiyu couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to agree!
Unexpectedly, more and more people came, and Ying Feiyu was really a little irritable, so he found Huang Yuan!
"At what stage is the production of cameras? How long will it take for the first batch to be produced?"
"It will take at least another month!"
Huang Yuan made an estimate in his mind and handed it over to report.
"so slow?"
Ying Feiyu has been very annoyed by people asking to take photos recently, and he can't wait to produce the first batch now.
"If we reduce the production volume and let the craftsmen focus on manufacturing a few units, it will speed up a lot! But the output will also be reduced!"
Today's factories have adopted the assembly line model of later generations.
Everyone just does the work in their hands, which can greatly increase work efficiency!
But if you are in a hurry, you can't do this.
By centralizing all craftsmen and reducing output, the speed can be increased!
"It doesn't matter if it's lowered, as long as we can build a few of them in the shortest time!"
Now every day there are people who he can't refuse come to his door and beg him to take pictures.
He was looking for the kind of reason he couldn't refuse!
If they had known this, they should not have let them know about the existence of the camera so quickly!
You should wait until the first batch is built before showing it off!
"Okay! The official will make arrangements later!"
Huang Yuan accepted the order with his hands in hand.
"How soon can it be completed?"
"Three days!"
With the first experience, making the camera became much easier this time.
During this period of time, the complex parts have been produced, and then all the craftsmen are gathered for assembly. Three days is enough.
"How many can be made?"
"His Royal Highness, there are only a few dozen at most!"
"That's enough!"
With these dozens of cameras, he can push away all the people who come to him.
As for selling, we will talk about it later. Anyway, he is not short of money now!
As long as those people don't bother him anymore!
"Select a few young and smart people who know how to use cameras, and then find a few shops in Xianyang City. I want to open a photo studio!"
"Photo studio?"
Huang Yuan asked doubtfully.
"That's right! There are so many people coming to take pictures with me during this period! After the camera is built, no one will give it to anyone. It will be sent directly to the photo studio. Those who want to take pictures can pay to take pictures in the photo studio!"
"Is His Royal Highness planning to sell the photography business, just like the telegraph machine?"
Through His Highness the Crown Prince's explanation, Huang Yuan suddenly understood.
"That's right! Anyone who wants to take pictures in the future can go directly to the photo studio and don't have to bother me anymore!"
Ever since Ying Feiyu took photos of Wang Bi, Zhang Han and others, these old guys took the photos everywhere to show off.
Before Ying Feiyu started to promote the camera, almost the entire Qin Dynasty knew that such a magical thing existed!
"Your Highness, this is a good idea. I believe it will be very popular once it is launched!"
Huang Yuan smiled happily.
The cost of the camera is not low, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to afford it.
The photo studio is like a tractor, using a rental service!
People in need can go to the store for paid photography!
“Has the cost of the camera been calculated?”
"Go back to His Majesty the Crown Prince, I've already calculated it, it's about three thousand gold!"
"Um!"
Ying Feiyu nodded.
The cost is three thousand gold, and the selling price must be at least five thousand gold!
This money is really not worth mentioning to him now.
But the largest number of people in Da Qin are ordinary people, who have to support their families even after receiving their salaries!
I definitely don’t have the spare money to buy such expensive things!
Opening a photo studio and charging per session can not only satisfy everyone's desire to take photos, but the cost is not high, so it is bound to be popular!
"The prince will promote the camera in newspapers and enter the pre-sale process in advance. You must also be prepared!"
"Pre-sale?"
"That's right! Anyone who wants to buy a camera must pay a deposit in advance. Only after getting the number can you be eligible to purchase!"
Ying Feiyu gave a simple explanation of this word.
"good!"
Huang Yuan nodded in agreement.
“I wonder how the photo studio should charge?”
"It's not easy for people to make money, so let's set the price of each ticket at one gold!"
Ying Feiyu thought for a moment and decided on the price.
For the common people, one gold is not much, but it is not much!
You can’t just buy it like a candied haws, and you won’t be reluctant to spend money to take a photo for the rest of your life!
Opening a photo studio costs money to buy the shop, hire workers, and the cost of cameras and film!
The price really can’t be lower!
With the development of the times, not only will the camera be reformed, but the cost will also be reduced, and the price of photography will also drop!
"Okay! When the photo studio opens, I will bring my family to take a photo!"
Huang Yuan also grinned.
Although he was familiar with His Highness the Crown Prince, he was too embarrassed to go to His Highness the Crown Prince to take pictures!
Well now, when the camera production is completed, the photo studio can open, and then we must be the first in line!
"If you want to take pictures, do you still need to go to a photo studio? When the camera is produced, you can just take one back and take pictures at will!"
Ying Feiyu was very generous.
"No, no, no, Your Highness, public and private affairs must not be confused!"
However, Huang Yuan waved his hands repeatedly.
His Royal Highness trusted him and put all his property into his hands.
But he can't use this trust as capital to do such stupid things!
"Okay, that's up to you!"
The reason why Ying Feiyu is optimistic about him is because of his character.
If it were someone who was sneaky and sneaky, he wouldn't be able to be reused by him!
