Dad Jiao's college classmate known as "Yuanzi" was originally named Yuan Zhiyi. In addition to Dad Jiao and Wei Ling participating in the investment, there was another college classmate named Fei Hang who worked in Chuhua City. part of the investment.
After the death of Mr. Yuan, Yuan Zhiyi also officially started his own business. Recently, Yuan Zhiyi was running abroad, and many precision instruments had to be used abroad. Yuan Zhiyi went to learn from it. Although Mr. Yuan is no longer there, his connections are there, which makes it easier for young people who are just starting out in the industry.
Zheng Tan doesn't know much about professional knowledge, but he also knows that those precision instruments are counted in units of ten thousand, which are US knives, not RMB. Zheng Tan didn't go to the laboratory very often. Every time he went, he took a quick glance. The instruments inside were all in English. Even if there is Chinese, there are some remarks or the owner's name is marked like an enclosure.
Some time ago, Zheng Tan also heard that the Academy of Biological Sciences invested another 2 million RMB to buy equipment, but when he went there yesterday to look for Dad Jiao, Zheng Tan squatted outside and looked around, and didn't feel much change.
No wonder Dad Jiao said that he had no money, and the project fund he applied for could not be moved. The funds that were moved were accumulated over the years, but it would not exceed 2 million. It was really impossible to buy a lot of precision instruments.
One day, Jiao Dad answered the phone and told Zheng Tan that there was an urgent job on Xiao Guo's side.
Xiao Guo's work is all about shooting commercials, but Zheng Tan doesn't care. Most of the recent times are story paintings and videos, which are not difficult for Zheng Tan. However, since it is an urgent job, the price must be more negotiated. Jiao Dad came forward to negotiate the price, Zheng Tan only did his best, and he just put on a few poses in the past.
On the afternoon of the phone call, Xiao Guo came to the hospital with some supplements. After visiting Jiao's mother, Xiao Guo and Jiao's father went to the corridor to discuss the advertisement. Zheng Tan was still squatting in the bag and being carried by Jiao's father.
"Cat food for kittens?" Jiao Dad wondered.
"Well. This time I have a client from my brother. The mother cat gave birth to five kittens. The big cat was injured when going out to play. They have been treated by my brother recently. There are six of the five kittens. Zhou Da, has been weaned with teeth, and the client said that he will send the kitten out in two days and keep only one. I looked at it, and the five kittens are all very good and beautiful in appearance. They are Siberian The pedigree of forest cats, so I wanted to take this opportunity to shoot an advertisement for kitten cat food." Xiao Guo explained.
Xiao Guo's brother is a veterinarian. Before the pet center was built, his brother's pet hospital and Xiao Guo's own pet supply store were separate. Now they are merged together and provide one-stop service, so his brother has Some clients he knew too. Originally, Xiao Guo did not shoot cat food commercials for kittens so quickly. After all, it is not as easy for kitten commercials to get the effect Xiao Guo wanted than for adult cat food commercials. Kittens have not received training, so they will not follow you. Cooperate.
"Kitten cat food, what do you let Black Charcoal do?" Jiao Dad wondered.
"I just wanted to let the big cat and the kitten shoot together. After all, if there are only kittens, those little guys won't be obedient. If there is a big cat, you can restrain them. Although it is very difficult, it is better than putting those kittens alone. The kitten is here."
"Then what do you mean?" Jiao Dad still didn't understand. The first domestic cat is a male cat. I heard that in the wild, male cats will kill kittens, and some domestic cats will do the same, which is not very safe for kittens. Second, there are several cats in Xiao Guo's store, all of them are relatively friendly and docile, and there are also famous breed cats, which are better than their own grumpy local cat.
"What I mean is, let Black Charcoal go to try it first, and then see the situation. Yesterday, several cats in our store tried it, and they couldn't meet my requirements, so I wanted to find Black Charcoal."
After listening to Xiao Guo's explanation, Jiao Dad nodded, didn't ask any further details, and started to talk about the price.
Jiao Dad and Xiao Guo were discussing the price, but Zheng Tan, who was squatting in the bag, was not in a good mood. Except for the two children of Jiao's family, he doesn't like children very much, let alone that kind of kitten, it's annoying!
After Dad Jiao had a good talk with Xiao Guo, Xiao Guo left and went to pick up Zheng Tan at the family compound tomorrow morning. If Zheng Tan can take over this job, the price is the one that Jiao Dad negotiated. The kitten cat food in Xiao Guo’s store is relatively expensive, but the quality is absolutely guaranteed. As long as it can be sold, it will definitely make a lot of money. Therefore, the price negotiated this time is higher than the previous several times.
Listening to the price quoted by Jiao Dad, Zheng Tan decided to endure it for a while.
"Black charcoal, I remember all the money you invested in your card. I'm not sure when you will become a major shareholder in the future. Also, don't let yourself be wronged when shooting commercials. You are shooting commercials. Yes, I'm not here to get angry, it's a big deal that we won't shoot."
Zheng Tan snorted, indicating that he knew. Dad Jiao's first sentence was obviously meant to be a joke, but Zheng Tan didn't take it seriously. The latter sentence was also what Zheng Tan thought, and there was no pressure. Anyway, still eat when it is time to sleep and eat when it is time to sleep.
The next morning, Zheng Tan didn't go for a run, but squatted on the tall plane tree in the family compound and waited. This was the case a few times in the past, so every time Xiao Guo came over, he didn't have to go into the building, and looked directly at the largest sycamore tree.
Now that the leaves of the sycamore tree have fallen off a lot, Xiao Guo looked up and saw Zheng Tan at a glance.
After seeing Zheng Tan, Xiao Guo showed the smile of seeing Jin Zi again, and patted a black travel bag on his back, "Hei Tan, go, start work!"
Zheng Tan doesn't like that kind of special pet carrying bag, so every time Xiao Guo comes to pick up Zheng Tan, he always brings a spacious travel bag or a school bag with a slightly larger capacity.
Since the pet center is not far from here, Xiao Guo came over on a small electric and put the bag in the front basket of the small electric. Zheng Tan stayed in the bag, but looked at the scenery outside with his head out.
Xiao Guo's "Obviously Like This" pet center is getting better and better now. With the support of old customers, plus the advertising effect of several months, more and more people know about it. After posting several advertisements in some online forums , and some people asked him to order wholesale, and they became long-term customers.
They did not go through the main entrance of the pet center, but entered through a side door, which was close to the studio where Xiao Guo shot the commercials, and there were not many people waiting to come in and out.
Every time the store manager brought the God of Wealth to treat this black cat, several employees were already familiar with it. Xiao Guo explained to them that this black cat had been specially trained, so it was very obedient, and it was quick to shoot an advertisement. , and was hired with a high salary. When he introduced it, Xiao Guo specifically emphasized the words "high-paid hire" to make employees treat this black cat better. This is the god of wealth in their store. The reason why those canned cat food can be sold so quickly is mainly due to the advertising effect. Of course, the quality of cat food produced by their own store is also guaranteed. When raising others, Xiao Guo also does not forget to sublimate himself. .
Others have no doubts about the store manager's explanation. They see the "highly paid" black cat and the circus's trained cats as similar creatures. If Zheng Tan knew that these people grouped him with the cats in the circus, what would he be in
Zheng Tan, as usual, jumped off the electric car and ran into the studio by himself. It was the same people as usual, the usual cats squatting beside him to watch and the golden retriever that Xiao Guo raised himself, but it was different. It is also evident in the usual places.
In a corner of the studio, there was a circle of about seven or eight square meters, and some of the props that were originally stacked there were put on the other side.
In this area enclosed by a plastic board, five fluffy kittens play in it, three have obvious tiger stripes, and the other two are black and white. Xiao Guo said that these five cats are of Siberian forest cat blood, so compared to ordinary cats, their fur will be slightly longer.
On a cat climbing frame next to the enclosed area, an adult American Shorthair squatted on it, with its front legs draped over the edge of the frame, watching the five kittens inside.
This American shorthair cat is called "Prince". It is the cat in Xiao Guo's store. This coquettish name is also from Xiao Guo. The cat head on the canned cat produced in the store is the one.
As for why this cat is placed in the signature avatar, the main reason lies in the breed advantage of this cat. The American Shorthair has a fuller cheek, a larger physique than many cats, and a thicker bone, which looks very sensual, and has a wide back, which looks sturdy and does not look like a pastoral cat - which is what people call a soiled cat. The cat is so thin, and at first glance, it looks majestic but does not lose its affinity. The extra points of appearance are just a few streets away from Zheng Tan. Therefore, many pet food manufacturers like to use American Shorthair cats as their signboards.
Of course, in terms of IQ, Zheng Tan would definitely throw it a few cities away. But this is incomparable. After all, Zheng Tan has always regarded himself as a human being, and he cannot compare his IQ with a cat.
Another reason for not using Zheng Tan's avatar as a signboard is the black cat factor. After all, not everyone can accept black cats. Many people are still taboo about black cats.
So appearance is also very important. But for this, Zheng Tan couldn't change it, he wouldn't dye his hair anyway.
At this moment, "Prince" stared straight at the five kittens inside, and his paws moved twice from time to time.
"Is it still the same?" Xiao Guo, who entered the door, asked a few employees.
"As usual, as soon as the 'Prince' entered, these kittens were treated like class enemies, and the same was true of the other cats in the store, regardless of male or female. However, boss, you are not saying that Hei Tan has a bad temper. Will it bite the kitten if it goes in?" an employee said.
Zheng Tan, who jumped on a cat climbing frame, heard this and looked sideways at Xiao Guo.
To speak ill of my father! Is the old man in a bad temper? ! What's wrong!
While thinking about it, Zheng Tan scratched the cat climbing frame with deep claw marks, and the plush on the frame was scratched off. The "Prince" who was not far away also moved in the opposite direction. The grumpy black cat moved its paws.
Looking at the claw marks on the shelf, Xiao Guo's face twitched. He hesitated for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it. He called a few employees to watch it together. If there was a tendency to bite the kitten, a few people would rush Go save the kittens.
Zheng Tan squatted on the high cat climbing frame and looked at the five kittens inside. Six-week-old kittens are beginning to show curiosity and nervousness. Everything can be their teeth molars, and everything can be their toys. Fur mice, cat scratching sticks, wool balls, etc. , they like it. When they don't play with toys, they also play with their tails or the front claws of their hind legs and so on. They use these as imaginary enemies to bite and scratch. Zheng Tan feels that this behavior is like schizophrenia.
Looking at the five kittens below, Zheng Tan really didn't want to go down with these little nerds. However, since it's here, you have to do it anyway, even if you don't want to do it, you have to go through the motions. This commercial can't be shot, and it will be a long time in Japan.
Therefore, Zheng Tan, who had done a good job in psychological construction, jumped into an open space inside.
At the sudden arrival of Zheng Tan, the five kittens who were playing with each other were startled. Two of them had their backs arched, their fur frizzed, and they looked vigilant.
Outside the circle, Xiao Guo and several other employees also stared nervously. Once they found that the black cat was about to bite, they would stop it. Xiao Guo temporarily left five kittens but promised the customer.
Zheng Tan didn't move after jumping down. He knew that his every move was being watched by several people outside, and he couldn't make any "dangerous actions" such as stretching his claws and showing his fangs. To the ground, just wait for the rejection from these kittens, so that he can get away.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that the largest of the five kittens, the hair that had been blown up, also slowly went down, raised his feet and walked towards Zheng Tan. At first he moved slowly and tentatively, but then he quickened his pace, with his tail cocked.
Zheng Tan looked at the tabby kitten approaching him and didn't know how to react for a while. It's just so big, it seems like it can be pumped away when you raise your hand.
After the tabby kitten came to Zheng Tan's side, it raised its little paw and touched Zheng Tan's forearm, touched again, touched again, then rolled over and lay on the ground to play with Zheng Tan's palm.
Zheng Tan shook his beard, wanting to lift his claws and draw the little guy to the side.
There was a second one, and soon, the other four kittens came over, some playing with Zheng Tan's palms and soles, and some playing with Zheng Tan's tail.
Zheng Tan felt that he could no longer be indifferent, and raised his foot over the kitten next to his paw. After Zheng Tan walked around, the five kittens followed one after another, and the big one who ran faster even got close to and poked Zheng Tan's tail twice.
But Zheng Tan is very impatient now, and wants to get rid of these "little tails" at the back. As soon as he steps up, the five kittens in the back start to meow, making people feel that Zheng Tan has done something angry and angry.
So there was such a scene. In the place enclosed by the plastic board, a black cat walked along the plastic board. Behind him, five kittens followed. When they couldn't keep up, they started to meow. After the cat in front of me stopped, they immediately followed.
"Is this judging a cat by its appearance?" said one employee. After all, several cats in the store have not received such treatment, but this black cat is different.
Xiao Guo pointed at the black cat that was pulling its ears and circling, "Appearance? Do you think the cat in our store is better or the black cat is better?"
The employee stopped talking.
Another employee asked, "Then why don't the five kittens reject charcoal?"
"...The cat's mind, don't guess." Xiao Guo thought about it for two minutes before he choked out such a sentence.
