Chapter 400: A Long Lineage
Qin Jing passed the second automatic sensing door and was not interested in the decoration style in the store. She saw the seven Abyssinian cats playing at first sight. These seven cats are relatively old and are much larger than the other kittens about three months old in the store. In addition, they are covered with smooth chocolate hair. Under the light, they change their mysterious luster like the best silk, making them look extremely eye-catching.
Ordinary customers may prefer younger cats and think they are more cute or more relatives, but Qin Pu is not an ordinary customer. She immediately realized that the breeding potential of these cats is all breeding cats of the right age, with healthy body and full of vitality.
Qin Jing opens a cathouse and produces and sells it by herself. She has great experience in breeding of breeding cats. Although it is winter now, it does not affect the breeding of cats. Cats raised outdoors only have two periods of spring and autumn every year, but cats raised indoors can be found all year round as long as the temperature is suitable. In other words, if these seven cats start pairing immediately, depending on the number of female cats, they will have a legion of Abyssinian cats in less than a few months.
Before she came, she had doubts whether there were really Abyssinian cats in the store and whether their quality was above the standard. However, when she saw these seven cats, all her doubts disappeared. They played in the store, showed their outstanding athletic ability, jumped around, and easily jumped onto display cabinets or cat climbing racks more than one meter high. Other types of cats could not keep up with their rhythm at all... Except for a black and white kitten.
The only thing that is unclear now is what is the bloodline of these cats?
Qin Jing silently calculated the assets she now owned and used cash other than fixed assets. The price difference between pet-level cats and breeding cats is at least four or five times. The price difference of this extremely rare Abyssinian cat is probably even greater. She doesn't know what conditions the owner of this store will ask for. For her, the best choice is bartering, the most primitive and fair...
Seeing that she didn't look like an ordinary customer, Zhang Zian didn't say a word after entering the store, but just glanced at the pets in the store with sharp eyes. He couldn't help but look at her more and more. The more he looked, the more familiar she felt. It seemed that he had seen her say this was definitely not for chatting with her. As a senior single dog, he did not have the talent to chat with her.
Just as he was thinking hard, Fina said coldly: "This woman has been here before, and I remember the smell of her body."
Although Fina doesn't like her peers, she can tolerate it for the time being. After all, there are people in distant countries like Tim and Lauren, who will not have an immediate threat to its small money. Although it does not think that this woman is also from a distant country, she still decides to listen to her purpose before making a decision.
Zhang Zian suddenly remembered that she had come to the store one morning, and then left after a walk. He suspected that she was a fellow traveler, but what was she doing this time?
He cleared his throat and said, "Hello, we're meeting again."
Qin Jing: "...Do you remember me?"
"Of course I remember, you came once before." Zhang Zi'an sat on the recliner without standing up to welcome him. "If I'm right, are you here with me, right? Are you a cat occupant or a pet shop?"
Qin Jing's face was a little embarrassed, but it was better to be recognized, so she could save some of the process of tempting each other. She took out a business card from her pocket, walked over and handed it to him, and smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Qin Jing, the boss of Jingjing Cathouse."
Zhang Zian took the business card and looked at it casually. Seeing that Jingjing Cathouse mainly sells ruffled cats and folded cats, he put them aside and signaled: "My name is Zhang Zian, and I am the boss here, please sit there."
Qin Jing was not surprised to be treated coldly. After all, it was normal for Zhang Zi'an to be angry when she was treated coldly. If it were her, she wouldn't like her fellow travelers to see her cathouse.
She first apologized: "I'm sorry, Boss Zhang, the last time I came to your store, I didn't show my identity. It was my fault. Please forgive me."
"It's okay." Zhang Zi'an remained silent, "Then is there anything wrong with Boss Qin coming here this time?"
"I want to talk to you about cooperation." Qin Jing said bluntly.
"Oh? Please tell me, how to cooperate?" Zhang Zian became interested. Tim and Lauren also talked about cooperation, and it made him a lot of gains. It was a win-win outcome, so if Qin Jing really could put forward constructive opinions, he would consider it carefully.
"I am very interested in the Abyssinian cats here by Boss Zhang. Can you ask me what is the bloodline of your cats? How many generations can you go back to?"
As soon as Qin Jing’s question came out, Zhang Zian knew that she was professional because it was a huge barrier that lies in front of Abyssinian cat breeders.
Instead of answering directly, he took a page of paper from the breeding manual and handed it to her for herself to read. On this page, Cathy recorded the origin of each cat's bloodline in detail.
Qin Jing only took a look and immediately held her breath, her eyes firmly attracted her!
If she counts correctly, these seven... are not right, they are eight. The bloodline of these eight Abyssinian cats can be traced back to 15 generations! The shortest one can also be traced back to 10 generations!
Among all shorthaired cats, CFA's requirements for the breeding rights of Abyssinian cats are the most demanding, no one!
CFA requires that the bloodline of Abyssinian cats must be traced back to 8 generations so that they can confirm their breeding rights! In contrast, American short and British short only have 4 generations, while American short white gloves only have 3 generations.
8 generations, it takes 8 years to complete one litter a year, and 4 years to complete two litters a year... This really does not meet the requirements of making quick money in domestic cathouses and pet stores. Only God knows what the market will look like in 4 years...
What is the concept of the 15th generation? It’s simply incredible!
If people who started breeding chocolate-colored Abyssinian cats 15 years ago are not able to predict the future, then they are truly sentiment...
What surprised Qin Jing even more was that the bloodlines of these eight cats did not cross within three generations. In other words, they were not close relatives, and male cats and female cats could be combined to mating at any combination!
In addition, she also noticed another thing, that is, the genealogy picture in her hand is a photocopy version. The original version is handwritten in English, exuding a retro elegance. In other words, these Abyssinian cats were introduced from abroad. The copy version has been added with Chinese annotations, so the font is ugly, so I won’t mention it. If you touch it hard with your hand, you can find that the ink marks are not dry...
She couldn't figure out this point. Unless it was a veteran cathouse that refused to do it, who would transfer so many breeding cats in one go?
Qin Jing made up her mind to promote this cooperation at all costs.
She counted it several times and confirmed that there were only seven Abyssinian cats in the store. So where did the eighth one in the bloodline run?
Forget it, don't care about that. She put down the copy paper in her hand and said calmly: "I want to ask Boss Zhang to transfer these Abyssinian cats to me even a few of them."
Zhang Zi'an laughed silently. After making a fuss for a long time, you think I'm a fool? Why should I transfer it to you?
Even if these cats are not Cathy's legacy, he will not easily give up the opportunity to sell them exclusively.
Since Qin Jing has come here, she is sure to convince Zhang Zi'an. When she came last time, she found that there were no ragdoll cats here, so she said, "Boss Zhang, don't laugh for now. I don't want you for nothing. I can exchange the ragdoll cat's breed for Binhai City. Who doesn't know that my ragdoll cat..."
Before she could finish her bragging words, she heard the golden cat crawling onto the cat scrambled to a lazily meow, as if she had issued some kind of order. Then, five two-color ragdoll cats emerged from behind Zhang Zi'an's recliner, and obediently squatted on the ground and looked at her, eyes as blue as the sea.
Qin Jing: "..." Is it okay to swear?
