After signing the pre-sale contract, Tang Yuyun left as if letting go of a worry. Zhang Zian was suddenly curious about how she, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, buys clothes and bags. Could it be that she went directly to the factory
After she left, the store became quiet again, and Lu Yiyun sat behind the cashier and drew without distraction. During the New Year, there are still very few people on the street, and even fewer people will go into the store.
Zhang Zian looked around and found that there was nothing to do, so he walked up to the second floor.
"Quack! You heartless man, what did I do to offend you today, and you hung me up if you didn't agree with me?" Richard was hung upside down from the ceiling of the living room on the second floor, flapping his wings and swaying back and forth. .
Zhang Zian thought for a while, and it seemed that it hadn't caused any trouble today, so he replied, "It didn't mess with me, it's just that it's free."
"Hang me up when you have nothing to do? You trembling!" Richard was inexplicably sad and indignant.
He said confidently: "Anyway, there is never a day when you don't get into trouble, so you hang yourself if you have nothing to do, it's a pre-punishment..."
"Punish in advance for mistakes that others haven't committed yet? Young man, your thinking is very dangerous!" Richard exclaimed dissatisfied.
"Okay, then I'll untie you." Zhang Zian pulled the stool over and stood up to untie the nylon rope that bound its bird's claws.
Richard was finally able to stand upright, and it looked at him suspiciously: "There is nothing to show courteousness to, either adultery or robbery! You are so easy-talking today, do you want something from me?"
"Hehe." Zhang Zian said with confidence that he was really guessed right.
"Do you remember the Cathy you met in the American CFA competition?" He asked, "The one whose full name is Catherine Donna Ryan?"
Richard was busy combing the disheveled bird feathers because of being hung upside down with his beak, and said disdainfully: "Of course I remember! Don't think of me as an idiot like you! Isn't her portrait right now downstairs? "
"Well, do you remember her voice? I mean accent or something?" he asked again.
Richard rolled his eyes, "Almost, what do you want to do?"
When he met Cathy in the CFA arena, Richard stood on his shoulder in an invisible state and communicated with Cathy for him, so it clearly remembered the voice and smile of the old American lady.
"Cathy changed her will before she died. I don't know why. She decided to leave these Abyssinian cats to me, but... she was rewarded for nothing, and she couldn't sleep or eat. I want to do something to make up for her." Zhang Zi An rarely spoke seriously.
"Interesting, you also feel restless? But I think you slept well last night..." Richard sneered.
"Of course, a gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. Speaking of which, I remember that Lawyer Adams said that Cathy had no direct children. She gave me her cat in her will and donated her other properties to The Matthew Davis Cancer Research Foundation... seems to be the name, right? And it was designated for lung cancer research." Zhang Zian recalled, "In the CFA competition, she seemed to say that her husband died of lung cancer, I think her decision is based on this reason, hoping to do her little bit to free more people from the pain of lung cancer."
Richard also became serious, listening in silence without interrupting.
"I don't know how much money she has. She dresses plainly in the CFA arena. Even if she has some money, it may not be much... In fact, even if she is a millionaire, multi-millionaire or even a billionaire, the money is very important for conquering lung cancer." It’s a drop in the bucket for a worldwide problem, but she still decided to do it,” he continued.
"So what do you want my uncle to do?" Richard asked.
Zhang Zian expressed his intentions: "I just pre-sold an Abyssinian kitten for 30,000 yuan. I did the math. After deducting related costs, the net profit is about 4,000 dollars in US dollars... money It’s not much, but I’d like to donate to the Matthew Davis Cancer Research Foundation in Cathy’s name. So I’d like you to imitate her voice and give the foundation a call.”
Richard was bouncing back and forth on the table, as if thinking about something.
"That's just a pre-sale." After a while, it reminded: "You said that after deducting the cost, the net profit is 4,000 dollars, so the cost is only 700 dollars? Not to mention the cost of international postage and genetic screening, not to mention The consumption of canned cat food and cat litter, even if you only consider the cost of buying a shoe store and decoration, the average cost is more than 700 knives, right? And what about labor costs?"
"Of course I know that." Zhang Zian said easily, "However, I didn't buy the shoe store next door for Cathy and those cats, but to expand the business scope. Even without those cats, I would still buy it , After all, you can’t rest on your laurels when doing business, and it’s only a matter of time before you expand the scale.”
This reason seems convincing, but not enough. Richard gave him a deep look, "It will take three months for the customer to pay the balance, right? Three months is a long time, and anything can happen. Maybe the customer will regret it, maybe cancel the transaction, cancel For her, the transaction will only lose some deposit, and once the donation is donated, there is no way to cancel it. If it is my uncle, it is wiser to wait for the final transaction before making a decision."
Zhang Zian admitted that what Richard said was very reasonable, but he still insisted: "Don't you doubt my ability to do business? In my opinion, that customer is unlikely to cancel the transaction."
"Is there any other reason?" Richard asked persistently, "If it's just these, you'd better tie up my uncle's feet, and then go make a phone call yourself, lest you regret it in the future and take your anger out on me !"
Zhang Zian: "..." Am I the kind of man with a small belly
"Okay. In fact, there is another reason. When Lawyer Adams presented the Power of Attorney, I noticed that Cathy's birthday is today, and I wanted to give her a birthday present." He said the most important reason, "You You know, if a birthday gift is delivered late, it might be very rude to a lady."
Richard was silent, it roughly understood Zhang Zian's intentions. There are some things that I can't get to the bottom of. For example, why Zhang Zian decided to donate in the name of Cathy, and why Cathy donated the cat she had cultivated for many years to a Chinese who met by chance. This may be fate.
Fate is wonderful.
It fluttered its wings and shouted: "Quack! Then what are you waiting for? Go and check the phone number of the Cancer Research Foundation, let's play a game of resurrecting the dead!"
