With the process of people conquering nature, there are fewer and fewer uncultivated lands on land. Even the areas of African rainforest and Amazon rainforest are decreasing day by day, and species are dying out every day. Although there are still species on land that have not been discovered by humans, they are mainly concentrated on some small animals, such as various arthropods, and large animals that have not been discovered are already rare.
But the ocean is different.
About 70% of the earth's surface area is covered by oceans. There are a lot of unknown and mysterious creatures in the azure ocean, especially the weirdness of deep sea creatures is beyond people's imagination. Scientists point out that humans don't know as much about the deep ocean as they do about the surface of Mars.
Zhang Zian understood what Lei Na meant.
Thousands of new marine species are discovered every year, and the population numbers of most of the new species are unknown. Maybe only the one discovered is left, and there may be millions more. Everything is possible. Without investigation Before it is clear, it cannot be rashly included in the international list of endangered animals, so it is not protected by law, so there is room for maneuver.
In China, cats and dogs account for almost 90% of the pet sales market, while in Germany it may be less than 10%, but the development of the German pet market is far beyond his imagination. From Reina, he saw a way to find a way without relying on cats and dogs.
Zhang Zian also considered fish before, after all, fish are considered very important pets, but Binhai City, as a seaside city, does not belong to the fish-poor area, and there is no shortage of fish. In summer, go to the night market and find a food stall. Sit down, you can eat seafood until you vomit for twenty or thirty yuan.
There are several aquariums in Binhai City, but they are basically poorly managed, mainly selling tropical fish and cold-water fish wholesaled from Guangzhou and Jinmen. There are three major fish distribution centers in China, Guang, Jin, and An, and An is Anshan.
With these aquariums as a lesson, Zhang Zian has never made up his mind to take the aquarium route.
The second floor has a large area, but relatively speaking, the area occupied by the aquarium area is relatively small, but the reptile area occupies the largest area. It may be that the Germans prefer reptile pets. At this time, there are about twelve or three A 1-year-old boy lingered in front of the rhino iguana's glass box, and the second is that these pets themselves need more space.
An adult male customer who seemed to be from Asia had problems communicating with the clerk, so Lei Na apologized to Zhang Zian and went to deal with the matter first.
Zhang Zian was idle anyway, looked back and saw that the elves were all attracted by the strange-looking pets in the store, so he followed to see how Reina was doing business.
After approaching, he found that Reina's clerk was very enthusiastic in hospitality, but he was not proficient in professional things and could not always answer customers' questions. It might be because there were too many pets in the store. If he could understand any of them If one of them is so rare, it is estimated that he can become a zoologist.
An Asian customer took a fancy to a ball python and a terrarium, and was about to pay, but the clerk stopped him from buying the terrarium, and the two had a dispute. He doesn't speak German and English is not good, which leads to communication problems.
Zhang Zian noticed that the mobile phone held by this Asian customer was a Chinese brand, and there was a familiar WeChat icon on the home screen, so he tried to ask, "Hi, are you Chinese?"
"Yes! Are you the clerk of this store?" The Asian customer seemed to have met a savior.
"No, I'm here to travel." Zhang Zian said, "Have you encountered any problems?"
"That's right, I want to buy this ball python and this terrarium by the way, but this clerk is so arrogant, he stops me from buying it, and insists on buying another more expensive terrarium!" A customer said angrily: "I didn't expect that there is also forced buying and selling in Germany! Can you help me complain about him?"
He chose a golden desert spider ball python and a very ordinary terrarium, and he played the ball python in the palm of his hand, like someone who is very used to playing with snakes.
Fina stared at the ball python coldly, as if she might tear it in half at any moment.
Zhang Zian hurriedly waved his hand to Fina secretly, signaling him to calm down, if it really attacked the ball python, it would break out of its invisible state, and it would definitely frighten the people around it.
Most ball pythons are mild-tempered, not aggressive, nor poisonous, and will not hurt people.
Zhang Zian looked at it several times, but he didn't see any problem with the snake and the breeding box. He didn't understand why the clerk wouldn't let him buy it, so he relayed the problem to Lei Na in English.
Reina pointed to the instructions on the ball python glass box and explained to the customer: "I'm sorry, sir. The ball python you chose is 55 centimeters long, and the terrarium you chose is 100 centimeters long. Germany The law states that the minimum length of a reptile's enclosure must be no less than twice the length of the reptile. The enclosure you selected was too small for us to sell to you. Either you choose a smaller ball python , or choose a larger breeding box."
After she finished speaking, she took a law code from the service desk on the second floor, and opened it for them to read. The code contains pictures and texts, and introduces in detail the breeding instructions and related legal regulations of reptiles.
Zhang Zian relayed her words to him in Chinese, and at the same time dispelled the doubts in his heart.
After figuring out the reason, the customer was still not satisfied, but there was no way, since he was in his territory, he had to abide by his regulations.
With Zhang Zian's help, he changed to a larger terrarium, and bought heating pads, matching lamps, water basins, mats for the box, and so on. The price of the desert spider ball python is 399 euros, and the price of the terrarium and various accessories is more than 300 euros, but it is still much cheaper than raising cats and dogs.
When paying, Reina handed over a document to the customer. The first page of the document contains the price, type, size, place of origin, scientific name and other relevant information of the ball python. The customer needs to fill in his name and passport number on the second page. Personal information, the third page is a full page of legal terms and disclaimers, which is too big to read. Compared with this document, the pet sale agreement in Zhang Zian's store is like a child's play.
Like Zhang Zian, this customer probably couldn't understand the German on the third page, so he glanced at it casually, filled in the information and paid.
He didn't have a good impression of this store, but he was very grateful to Zhang Zian for helping him clear up the misunderstanding. Zhang Zian said generously that everyone was Chinese and they helped each other when they went out.
Lena also breathed a sigh of relief. When the Berlin Film Festival opens, there are always customers who don't understand the language.
