Chapter 568: The Crooked Talent Tree
While Vivi picked up the Sisen kitten, Suzuhara Mai carefully selected pet supplies such as food bowls, cages, collars, leashes and other pet supplies for Snoopy on the shelves. For Snoopy's previous lab, she had their own laboratory to provide these things, but this Snoopy belonged to her. She also enjoyed the joy of being a real owner in the process of selecting pet supplies. One problem she faced was that she was a foreigner and it was a little more troublesome to apply for a dog raising certificate, but she was confident to overcome it.
Lu Yiyun brought her shopping bags. The shopping bags were designed and customized online according to Huaying's suggestions. The light brown hard kraft paper looks high-end. One side is printed with information such as the name, address, and phone number of the Qiyuan Pet Store. On the other side is a big QR code. There will always be someone who scans it with a low hand.
Suzuhara Mai chose one thing and put it in the shopping bag. After a while, she filled two bags. In addition, she also wanted to buy a pet air box.
Zhang Zian advised her diligently: "Don't you buy pet shower gel? Another small disadvantage of beagles is that they have a slightly larger body odor and need to take a shower frequently. The shower gel used by humans is not suitable for dogs."
"Yes, I know." Suzuhara Mai said with her head down, glanced at the store slightly, and asked hesitantly: "That... can't you give the dog a bath here?"
"It's OK, it's OK." Zhang Zian signaled her to come over and took her to the pet bathroom, introducing: "This is the pet bathroom in our store, but due to insufficient staff, our store can only take the pets by themselves by customers."
Although this is a magnificent sound, in fact, only customers who bring cats to the store to bathe the cats. Even if customers who bring dogs come over, they have to bathe the dogs themselves after inquiring, and immediately shake their heads and give up.
Most cats hate to be wet by water to varying degrees, and cats are not as close relatives and obedient as dogs. Once they forcefully bathe the cat who is afraid of water, they may end up with both sides. Due to Fina's existence, customers can easily bathe the cat who is afraid of water when they come to Zhang Zi'an's store, so they are willing to spend the money and do it themselves.
But what about the dog?
First of all, there is no elf in the store that can calm an ordinary dog; secondly, dogs are not afraid of water, and dogs are not as troublesome as cats. Customers bring dogs to pet shops to take a bath just to spend money to buy something easy, but if they spend money, they still have to do it themselves. In this case, it is better to just stay at home and wash. Who would be so idle that they spend this money in vain?
The bathroom in the store is nominally a pet bath, but is actually a cat-only one. No customer has ever brought a dog to take a bath.
If Qiyuan Pet Shop wants to start a business of bathing dogs, it will inevitably hire additional people. After all, Wang Qian and Li Kun are just part-time jobs and don’t stay in the store all day long. It’s more troublesome to hire people. Who knows the character of the new employee, and will he be trashed or something... Besides, the little money you earn in the bath may not be enough to pay your salary.
Therefore, Zhang Zian did not plan to start a business of bathing dogs, but this did not prevent him from forcibly pretending.
He seriously introduced the usage of the bathroom to Suzuhara Mai. Suzuhara Mai looked surprised and she was a foreigner, but she was not a fool. She had to do it herself after spending money. Who would spend this money in vain?
"Can you just do it yourself?" she confirmed.
"Well! Well... because our store is short of staff, we can only do it by ourselves for the time being... The great leader told us to do it by ourselves and have enough food and clothing..." Zhang Zi'an said.
Seeing that he misunderstood his meaning, Suzuhara Mai clarified: "No, I don't mean that... I wonder if you have heard of a 'automatic dog washing machine'?"
"What?"
Zhang Zian suspected that he had heard it wrong.
He has heard of automatic washing machines, but never heard of automatic dog washing machines...
Suzuhara Mai temporarily put down Snoopy and explained: "We have an automatic dog washing machine in Fusang, which is a coin-operated type. As long as you put the dog in and then throw in the corresponding amount of coins, the machine will continue to spray the washing foam on the whole body of the dog, then rinse the foam with warm water shower, and finally blow dry the hair with a warm air. The whole process takes about half an hour. When the dog comes out, it will be completely refreshed and can prevent the dog from catching a cold during the bath."
Damn! There is something so magical?
Zhang Zian's three views were once again refreshed!
He could only sigh that the talent tree of Fusang people was indeed a little bit wrong again...
Xiaoxue was also stunned. She couldn't imagine what an automatic dog washing machine looked like. Her mind was full of dogs spinning in the drum washing machine...
"This is called an automatic dog washing machine... means it cannot be used to bathe cats?" Xiaoxue asked curiously.
Since winter began, the frequency of snowball bathing has been greatly reduced. Because the weather is too cold and the clothes are thick, the door is too hot to close and the door is too cold to open. My mother felt sorry for her and didn't want her to come to take a shower with snowball, for fear that her hands would be frostbite when they get water.
"It's OK in theory." Suzuhara Mai replied, "However, dogs are very obedient when taking a bath, and cats hate water. They always jump up and down in the machine, scratch and scream, and scream miserably... So few people use this machine to bathe cats."
Zhang Zian and Xiaoxue thought of a possibility almost at the same time!
"Sir, you can buy two such machines, one for bathing the cat and the other for bathing the dog. Isn't that great?" Xiaoxue suggested.
"That's right!" Zhang Zi'an praised the festival and thought it was feasible.
Just imagine, two automatic dog washing machines stand side by side, one washes the dog and the other washes the cat. The owners sit comfortably while chatting, and the shop can also provide drinks. Half an hour later, the door of the machine opened, and the clean and fragrant cats and dogs jumped out of the machine. The owners hugged the cat and dog, and said goodbye to each other gracefully... It's so high-end, atmospheric, high-end, are there any?
With such a novelty, there will definitely be people who are willing to pay to try it out. Even if the charge is a little more expensive than manual bathing service, it may not matter.
Zhang Zi'an roughly calculated the half-hour bathing time. Considering commercial water and commercial electricity, plus the price of the machine itself and subsequent maintenance costs, it may not be much money in total, but this is a new business after all, and it is full of gimmicks and can bring considerable customer traffic.
The key is, where can I buy this machine?
He picked up his phone and turned to the universal Taobao.
However, he searched for a long time. Even the universal Taobao, which even sold tanks, aircraft carriers and star destroyers, provided free shipping services, could not find the automatic dog washing machine described by Suzuhara Mai!
In desperation, he tried to ask Suzuhara Mai, "Miss Suzuhara, do you know where to buy this automatic dog washing machine?"
"Uh..." Suzuhara Mai thought for a while and said apologetically: "I only know that there are companies in Fusang selling this kind of machine, but I really don't know if it is sold in other countries..."
Zhang Zi'an scratched his head. This was a problem. He couldn't even find an automatic dog washing machine on Taobao. Could it be that he could only buy it from Fusang? But he was not familiar with Fusang, so where did he buy it? Besides, it may not be necessary whether he sells it or not.
...But isn't there a Fusang girl standing in front of me?
So he said with a shameless face: "Miss Suzuhara, I want to know which Fusang company sells this magical automatic dog washing machine. Can you please check it for me when you have time? It is best to tell me the name or website of the company, and the email address... Of course, it is best to be the phone."
He planned so that he didn't understand Japanese, and he didn't know how to speak Japanese. It would be best if he could call him. He could ask Richard to negotiate with the other party on his behalf. If he sent an email, he could only use a Google machine to flip through it, which was more troublesome.
Unexpectedly, Suzuhara Mai said without hesitation: "No problem, this is very simple. My medical school has a cooperation with a biological device company that produces automatic dog washing machines, so I can contact you on my behalf."
Zhang Zian was overjoyed. It would be great if Suzuhara Mai was willing to help. After all, she is from Fusang and a medical school student. If she can get in touch with that company, she might have a discount...
But he still wanted to refuse verbally, "I'm so grateful, but isn't it too troublesome to you? Then, I don't want money for this beagle anymore, it's my thank you gift to you."
Lu Yiyun was about to print the invoice and fill out the pet sales agreement, but she stopped hearing this.
Netizens in the live broadcast room all knew what kind of person Zhang Zian was, and suddenly there was a burst of dense barrage of speech!
"Is the iron rooster plucked her hair? I may have encountered a fake store manager!"
"If you have nothing to do, you will be either a traitor or a thief!"
"Haha, if I hadn't asked for the girl Fusang, this iron rooster wouldn't have plucked her hair!"
"Well said!"
Zhang Zian completely ignored these barrage, and he would not lose anyway.
"No! No! How can you be so embarrassed!" Suzuhara Mai refused. This may be very troublesome for Zhang Zian, but for her, it was just a small task. She stood in the middle and threaded a needle to help her contact each other.
Besides, she was very grateful to Zhang Zi'an for leaving the only beagle in the store. This beagle is very similar to Snoopy, and even if it was born in a litter, some people believed it. When she saw Xiao Qianqian want to buy this beagle, she had already silently given up hope, but Zhang Zi'an chose to sell it to her instead of leaving it to Xiao Qianqian, so she was very grateful. Why would she be embarrassed to not pay?
Zhang Zi'an asked her for help, and both parties refused each other. In the end, in order to make invoices, Zhang Zi'an ordered Lu Yiyun to symbolically collect one dollar and hand over the pet sales agreement to her, and the pet supplies she chose were also given away.
Suzuhara Mai thanked her repeatedly, promised that she would take good care of the beagle, and immediately contacted the seniors in the laboratory after returning to the dormitory of the international student.
