The Qiyuan pet shop is all managed by the parents alone, and no other employees are hired. Zhang Zian knows that the daily care of pets is very troublesome. Every morning at 5:00, parents would wake up, clean the store, remove the feces in the cages and display cabinets, clean, groom, feed and check the health of the pets, all in order to make the pets welcome when the doors open. guest.
Zhang Zian only had his elder brother. If he introduced too many pets at the beginning, it would only make a mess and he would be overwhelmed. Therefore, he decided to take the route of "fewer but better".
He also has an advantage—he is the owner of the house, so there is no pressure to pay rent; there is no pressure to hire people, and there is no pressure to pay wages. Therefore, even if the pet can't be sold, it's a big deal to keep it for the time being.
After checking the map, he locked the door of the store, and then pasted an A4 paper on it, which said: The store will reopen in the near future.
Satisfied after looking around, he walked to the bus station.
There are two breeding bases, one is in the north of the city and the other is in the south of the city. The distance is similar. He decided to go to the one in the north of the city first. The reason is very simple - the bus station in the south of the city needs to cross the road.
After sitting for more than ten stops, when he came to the suburbs, the bus stopped. After he got off the bus, he quickly found the signboard of "Love Meng Pet".
"It occupies a lot of space."
A long and high wall encloses a large field.
The signature of Ai Meng pet is the emoticon package of the famous second-hand husky, which makes people laugh.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, there were people in suits and leather shoes who looked like real estate agents to greet him.
"Hi sir, are you here to see your pet?" The visitor smiled.
"Yes." Zhang Zian said.
"Excuse me, is it a personal breeding?"
"I'm running a pet shop, and I want to come and inspect it," he explained.
When the other party heard that it was a big customer, he immediately smiled even more happily, "Come here, please!"
Zhang Zian was led into the reception room. There were several reception rooms separated from each other. He knew that the other party got a commission for selling pets. The more he bought, the more commission he would get.
After the two parties sat down, "Does sir smoke?" The other party took out a pack of Yuxi.
Zhang Zian waved his hand and refused.
"It's good not to smoke. Smoking is harmful to your health. I don't smoke either, I just prepare it for customers who smoke." The other party put away the cigarette with a smile, "I don't know what the boss calls it?"
Zhang Zian: "My name is Zhang."
"Oh! What a coincidence! We are still in the same family! What do you think is such a coincidence!"
The other party was very pleasantly surprised, took out a business card from the business card holder, and handed it to him with both hands excitedly.
On the business card: Zhang Wanguo, sales representative of Aimeng Pet Breeding Base
It stands to reason that Zhang Zian should return his business card, but he doesn't have a business card, so he can only pretend to be confused.
He complained in his heart: "Zhang" is a common surname, what a coincidence to meet my family? It would be a coincidence if we both had the surname Murong!
Seeing that he didn't intend to hand over his business card, Zhang Wanguo asked with a smile, "Which pet shop does the boss belong to?"
Zhang Zian said vaguely, "Well, it's newly opened, you must have never heard of it."
"Haha, Boss Zhang made the right choice for choosing us! Did you know that most of the pet shops in this city buy from us, even the 'Starry' pet supermarket chain also buys from us!"
Zhang Wanguo has been in sales for so many years, what kind of customers have he never seen? He could tell at a glance that the customer in front of him was a rookie, as long as he exerted the subconscious mind of "everyone buys from me", he would be able to deal with the rookie very quickly.
There are a lot of rookie customers like this, and they want to open a pet shop as soon as they get excited, thinking that opening a pet shop is easy and profitable. In fact, at least eight of the ten newly opened pet shops will close within a year, but this is just like him. The sales rep was okay.
Zhang Zian has heard of the "Fanxing" pet supermarket chain, and it can be said that it is well known. Anyone who runs a pet store knows about it.
Fanxing Pet Supermarket is a national giant company with 153 directly-operated stores and 164 franchised stores across the country. It can be said that it covers all small and medium-sized cities. This company is often seen on CCTV advertisment.
Zhang Wanguo's implication is that there must be no problem for such a large company to buy from me.
Zhang Zian has his own considerations. Although he is a rookie, his parents have opened the shop for more than ten years.
"Well, may I visit your farm?" he asked.
Zhang Wanguo's smile faltered a bit, he frowned slightly, thinking why didn't this rookie play cards according to the routine
He hastily dissuaded him and said: "It's dirty and smelly, there's nothing to visit, and you won't be able to wear your shoes if you go in and walk around. Well, what kind of pet do you want to buy, just tell me, and I'll send someone I'll bring it here for you, what do you think? Come on, take a look at our price first, and make sure you're not cheating! If you can find a lower price in this city, I'll pay you double the price difference!"
This is so heart-wrenching, someone else might believe it!
Zhang Wanguo handed over a roster, which contained both pictures and texts, and the photos and prices of each pet were clearly written.
Zhang Zian took the roster, looked at it casually for a while, and then got up to leave.
"Sorry, I still have something to do today, I'll come back another day."
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, Boss Zhang, don't rush to leave, just sit down for a while! If you are not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it again..."
"Sorry, I really have something to do, come back another day!"
Regardless of his persuasion, Zhang Zian insisted on leaving.
Zhang Wanguo watched his back from a distance, and spat hard on the ground.
"Damn! What is it! I don't have much money on me, and I have a lot of troubles! A brat who hasn't even grown his hair, is wasting my time!"
After cursing and venting, he immediately found a new target, and immediately changed a smiling face to meet him.
"Boss, are you here to see the pet?"
…
Zhang Zian walked to the bus station and got on the bus to the south of the city.
Parents discussed at the dinner table that any breeding base that does not allow visitors to the farm must be tricky! No matter how cheap it is, you can't buy it! Parents must have a point in saying that.
I took a nap in the car, and after about an hour, the bus stopped at the terminal.
Zhang Zian yawned and got out of the car. According to the map on his phone, he found the "Pet House" breeding base.
From the outside, the scale here is much smaller than that of "Ai Meng Chong", and the number of vans coming in and out is also much smaller.
The signboard of Pet House is an abstract cat silhouette.
After entering the gate, he didn't see a salesman like Zhang Wanguo, so he had to stop a woman who was about to go out.
"Sorry, I want to ask, who should I contact if I want to buy a pet?"
Wearing a white coat, a mask and gloves, and carrying a medicine kit, the woman appeared to be a veterinarian.
She looked him up and down, "Do you want to buy a pet?"
