"That's right." Zhang Zian said with a smile, "I'm going to expand my business. After all, you can't make much money just by selling pets. Isn't it popular to diversify now? Let's diversify too."
Aunt Liu thought, "You don't have any customers here at all. You probably won't be able to keep going any longer, so you want to earn some lunch money by bathing cats."
"Oh, my cat," she patted Meishort's back in her arms, "I'm usually quite obedient, but it's troublesome to take a bath. Since you sold it to me, I have never taken a bath. I always get it There was water everywhere, and then it ran around in the house, ruining the leather sofa and mahogany furniture in our house. Isn’t that right? Seeing that you can bathe cats here, my aunt said that you must be a professional, so I took it It’s here, Zian, you just need to work hard and wash it.”
Sure enough, it's still the same old routine, Zhang Zi said with peace of mind, first deliberately exaggerating the loss, causing psychological pressure on me, and then taking advantage of me confidently.
He nodded, "No problem."
Aunt Liu smiled happily and forgot the previous unhappiness. As long as you wash me once, you will have to wash me every time in the future.
"Auntie didn't bring much money with her when she went out today... Come here, you keep the 10 yuan." She took out the crumpled ten yuan bill from her trouser pocket, and gave it to Zhang Zian, hoping that Zhang Zian would be embarrassed to accept it. Then after pushing and pushing, she will take the money back in a logical manner.
Zhang Zian did confiscate it. He held up three fingers and said, "300. 300 for one wash."
Aunt Liu was stunned, she opened her mouth and was speechless.
"Hehe, Zian, are you joking again?" Aunt Liu hung her hand holding ten yuan in the air, forcing a smile.
Zhang Zian shook his head, "No, I don't dare to make jokes with Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu's face turned blue from a small joke just now. I'm afraid that another big joke will scare Aunt Liu into a heart attack."
"300 yuan for a cat bath? Zian, are you talking nonsense? How can it be so expensive!" Aunt Liu scolded with a serious expression on her face.
Zhang Zian said calmly: "The pricing here is like this. If you think it's too expensive, Aunt Liu, you can go to other shops to wash."
Aunt Liu said angrily, "Tell me, why are you so expensive? Is it because you wash well, or is your water expensive?"
Zhang Zian replied very seriously: "Aunt Liu, you misunderstood, it's not me doing the washing, but you doing the washing."
"What?" Aunt Liu, Wang Gan and Li Kun were all stunned.
Zhang Zian turned around and pointed to the pet bath room on the first floor, where there was a paper pasted on the door, which read: Self-service bath, 300 yuan/time.
"Everyone has eaten at the buffet. There is no waiter, so you can eat by yourself; in the self-service laundromat, you can wash by yourself with coins. I am here for self-service bathing, that is to say, the cat owner bathes the cat by himself, and I only provide the venue." He said. Said with a natural look.
Instead, Aunt Liu became annoyed, "I'll bathe the cat myself, and I'll give you 300 yuan?"
Even Wang Gan and Li Kun are in a trough, Master, you want to rob
"That's it, but this store will also provide hot water, shower, hair dryer, power supply... The most important thing is that this store provides services that make cats irresistible to take a bath. This alone is worth the fare." Zhang Zian affirmed The answer, but this answer sounds more painful to others.
In Zhang Zian's opinion, this is a very reasonable price.
There are two types of people who come to pet shops to bathe cats. One kind of people have cats who are extremely resistant to bathing, and the other kind of people are too lazy to do it themselves and come to pet shops to spend money on convenience.
Obviously, Zhang Zian's target customer is the former.
The biggest problem with bathing cats is cats’ aversion to wetness. Even if a small number of cats do not resist so fiercely, they will never sit there obediently and let you touch your feet. It would be better if the owner does it himself, but if the owner really has With that ability, why bother sending the cat to the pet shop for a bath
With Fina around, none of these matters.
Under this premise, bathing the cat by the owner himself can increase the relationship between the two parties, which is better than having a third party do it for you.
In addition, Zhang Zian was alone, if he came to bathe the cat, who would come to the shop? It takes about half an hour to bathe and blow hair, even if the cat does not resist. What should customers do during this period
If it is to hire another person, even if it is a part-time job, the salary cannot be less than 2,000 per month, and it must be higher than the minimum wage. Calculated in this way, at least a dozen cats must come to bathe every month to be considered profitable.
And Zhang Zian also has other concerns—unless you get along with him for a long time, you can't know the temperament of the new employee. What if he is kind-hearted and poisonous, cheating Zhang Zian behind his back or mistreating the pets in the store? These all need to be considered carefully, and decisions cannot be made on the spur of the moment.
Zhang Zian is very careful about running a pet store. Running a store is not playing games, without S/L Dafa, one wrong step will lead to disaster. Maybe he will hire staff in the future, but that's for the future, at least not for now.
Aunt Liu shook her head, "Crazy, really crazy! With 300 yuan, I can wash it at least three times in other homes, and I have to do it myself here... I didn't see that your child has been outside for a few years, and the top of your heart They are all gangsters! It’s really embarrassing to your parents, if you don’t know how to repent, just wait for your store to close down!”
Wang Gan and Li Kun were very moved at first, thinking that Aunt Liu and Master had a good relationship, but now they also gradually felt that something was wrong, can they curse Master like this if they have a good relationship
Zhang Zian shrugged indifferently, "You don't need to worry about whether my shop is closed or not. I have a clear price tag here, and you can buy and sell freely. But do you wash cats? If you don't, please do it."
He issued an eviction order. There is nothing to be proud of bickering with a middle-aged aunt, so what if you win the fight? At any time, people may resort to such a big move as a shrew cursing and rolling all over the floor, pulling you to her level, and then defeating you with rich experience.
Aunt Liu stomped her feet and was about to turn around and leave in anger, but a figure flickered outside the door, and someone just wanted to come in.
Coincidentally, the person outside is also holding a cat.
The one outside is a young girl, about twenty years old, with long brows, covering her eyebrows all the time, wearing big-frame myopia glasses, only showing a small half of her face, no makeup, and her clothes are fat and big like home clothes, in short, she gives people an impression It is unkempt and very homely.
When the young girl saw that someone was about to go out in the store, she immediately stepped aside like a bunny, letting the people inside come out first.
The door of Qiyuan Pet Store is still an old-fashioned glass door, with "push" and "pull" marked on the front and back of the door, not the high-end automatic sensor door like Longfeng Jewelry Store.
When Aunt Liu saw the cat the young girl was holding, she immediately changed her mind, stepped aside with a smile, and beckoned to the girl to let her come in first.
