Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

"By the way, Zhao Zhuo, where are you going to start?"

Zhang Yun asked curiously.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zhuo said calmly:

"I thought, we can start with the photo studio."

Zhao Zhuo was not determined to open a photo studio because of his conflict with those two people today, but he did see huge prospects from it.

"Photo studio?"

Zhang Yun was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that Zhao Zhuo would think of such an industry.

“But according to my observation, although photo studios make money, the demand is really very small.

Basically, it is enough to have one photo studio in every city.

If we open a new one, how will we make money?"

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction after hearing Zhang Yun's analysis.

Zhang Yun has absolute sensitivity to business aspects and pointed out the key to the problem as soon as she heard it.

However, due to the limitations of the times, Zhang Yun is not very forward-looking in many aspects.

Therefore, Zhao Zhuo explained:

"First of all, in terms of demand you mentioned, in the next few years, the demand for photography will definitely grow exponentially."

"Oh, how do you say this?"

Zhang Yun said she didn't understand.

So Zhao Zhuo smiled and asked:

"Let me ask you, why do people go to photo studios to take pictures now?"

Zhang Yun thought about it carefully after hearing this, and then replied:

“Mainly for work needs, but also for blind dates or taking ID photos.”

"That's right!"

Zhao Zhuo nodded.

"But in two years' time, the main purpose of people going to photo studios will no longer be just for needs, but for souvenirs, and even for beauty.

Just think about it, when a girl is in her twenties, the best age, wouldn’t she want to take some beautiful photos to record her youthful appearance?”

Zhang Yun was attracted by Zhao Zhuo's idea.

"Yes, who wouldn't want to retain the purest appearance at the best age!"

Zhang Yun nodded heavily, completely agreeing with Zhao Zhuo's words.

"But how come you have such strong confidence to determine the trend of photography?"

Zhang Yun is still a little strange.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo smiled:

"It's very simple. Because I have strong confidence in the era we live in!

Just look at it, in the future our country will definitely develop faster and faster, and our life will get better and better! And it will be the kind of fast and good that you can hardly imagine with all your imagination!"

Zhao Zhuo said firmly.

"After economic development, people's spiritual needs will definitely increase greatly."

This determination comes from his self-confidence after seeing the rapid development of his motherland, and from his strong sense of identity.

Moreover, Zhao Zhuoku has witnessed with his own eyes how some photo studios can attract countless people to take pictures by posting a background picture of a scenic spot.

Zhang Zhuo was also moved by Zhao Zhuo's words.

"Okay, then let's start from the photo studio together!"

Unconsciously, "I" has become "we".

After a pause, Zhang Yun returned to reality and asked her second question:

"The question is, where do our cameras come from?"

When opening a photo studio, the most important thing is naturally the camera.

“That’s the most important thing I have to say!”

Zhao Zhuo said confidently:

"You see, most photo studios now, especially those in small cities, still use vertical cameras from decades ago, which are very bulky and difficult to operate.

And if we can get the latest cameras from the Soviet Union, we naturally don’t need to worry about this problem."

The camera definitely accounts for the bulk of the total cost.

Once this is solved, the remaining rent, decoration and other aspects will not be a problem.

And hearing that Zhao Zhuo had thought so thoroughly, Zhang Yun nodded in agreement.

"Then now, I'm just waiting for your good news."

Zhang Yun smiled.

…

In the afternoon, Zhao Zhuo is going to Fengtian Textile Factory, while Zhang Yun is going to be a tutor.

So, after eating, the two parted ways.

This time when we arrived at the Fengtian Textile Factory, the guard stopped making things difficult for us last time. When he saw Zhao Zhuo from a distance, he quickly opened the door.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao. Do you need me to call the factory director's office to let you know that you are here?"

the doorman asked with a smile.

It seems that what happened last time taught him a lesson on time.

As for reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Zhao Zhuo also nodded slightly to indicate:

"No, I'll just go over there."

After saying that, Zhao Zhuo walked straight inside.

Arriving at the factory director's office with ease, Zhao Zhuo knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Zhao Zhuo pushed the door open and walked in. The only person in the office was the factory director.

"Zhao Zhuo, you came back so soon?"

When the factory director saw Zhao Zhuo, he said with some surprise.

"Yeah, isn't this just for a quick victory?"

Zhao Zhuo smiled and nodded, sitting on the guest sofa as he spoke.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo's indifferent look, the factory director suddenly beamed:

"Is the matter resolved?!"

The factory director asked tentatively.

After all, it's only been a few days, which is probably enough to take a round-trip train. Plus, it's such a big deal as a whole production line.

Therefore, the factory director really didn't believe that Zhao Zhuo could complete it so quickly.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhuo nodded lightly:

"Thank you for your honor."

With that said, Zhao Zhuo handed over a contract signed by Yalikov himself.

After receiving the contract, the factory director quickly read it carefully.

"This is a contract that Yalikov, the director of the textile factory over there, would have personally signed. If you sign here, the contract will officially come into effect."

Zhao Zhuo said calmly.

After a pause, Zhao Zhuo did not forget to joke:

"See clearly, this is stamped with the official seal of the factory and is valid. It is not just a letter of introduction signed by the factory director."

This was naturally a joke about the fact that the factory director only gave Zhao Zhuo a letter of introduction signed by himself.

Hearing this, the factory director smiled awkwardly:

"I knew you, Zhao Zhuo, were capable, and you actually managed to accomplish this!"

The factory director tried to eliminate the embarrassment by praising Zhao Zhuo.

Zhao Zhuo did not continue to pester after hearing this, but smiled and said:

"Director, if you understand it, just sign it."

Upon hearing this, the factory director did not sign directly, but rolled his eyes and frowned.

"The price written on the contract is 50,000 yuan, which is too expensive! After all, I haven't seen the production line yet. Are these machines good or bad? Can they be used? Are they really better than what we have now?

It’s hard to say that the machines are advanced.”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo was not anxious at all, but said:

"If you turn to the last page of the contract, there is a photo of the entire production line attached. You will know after reading it."

Hearing this, the factory director turned to the last page and saw detailed photos of the machine.

After careful observation, the factory director suddenly became happy.

With his eyes, he can naturally see that the machine in the photo is many times more powerful than the machine currently used by Fengtian Textile Factory!
