Chapter 8 The Existence of Pet Shops
What is the significance of a pet store? It is to act as a filter to select high-quality pets with gentle personality, healthy body and good looks from the pets in the farm to provide them to customers and provide them with purchasing advice. After all, there are not many customers who know the knowledge.
Compared to the "love pets" who concealed his concealment and refused to let him visit the breeding farm, after a inspection, the breeding environment of the "Pet Home" still satisfies Zhang Zi'an. Whether it is the breeding density or the standardization of disinfection, the most important thing is the attitude here, not to treat cats and dogs as fertility machines.
He focused on observing the breeding cats and breeding dogs that were breastfeeding, observing their body shape and coat color, especially their mental health, and their caring actions for kittens and puppies.
Another feature here is that all the cubs that have been separated from breastfeeding, regardless of size, all of them enjoy a cage, not crowded with other cubs.
The old farmer-like man completed the routine disinfection procedure, took off the electric sprayer from his back, took off the epidemic prevention disinfection suit, took off his earplugs and mask, and walked towards Zhang Zi'an.
"Which pet store are you from?" After looking up and down, he asked Zhang Zi'an without hesitation.
His name is Sun Yinian. He looks like an old farmer and dresses like an old farmer. He used to be an old farmer, but now he is the boss here. In order to save money, he often does it himself when he is not in enough staff. Just like before, he does not look like a boss.
"You probably haven't heard of Qiyuan Pet Shop." Zhang Zian replied.
"Oh? Is it the one on Zhonghua Road?" she interrupted.
"Oh, that one, do you know?" Zhang Zian felt quite proud when he saw her knowing her pet shop.
"I know, we are still neighbors!" she smiled and stretched out her hand to him, "My name is Sun Xiaomeng. There is a newly opened 'Lingyu' pet clinic on China Road. Have you seen it?"
Zhang Zian thought about it and found that there was such a family, just at the north entrance of Zhonghua Road, and the Qiyuan Pet Shop was at the south entrance, almost across the entire street, several hundred meters away. It was a bit difficult for the neighbors to say, but it was really close.
Lingyu Pet Clinic is newly opened. Due to the national regulations, the location of pet clinics and pet hospitals must be more than 200 meters away from poultry farms, slaughtering and processing plants and animal trading venues. Therefore, it is definitely impossible to be close to Qiyuan Pet Store to avoid cross-infection with animals who are visiting the disease.
He quickly shook hands with her, "Then you can ask you to take care of me in the future."
She said generously: "Where is the neighbors, the mutual care is true."
Sun Yinian was impatiently waiting, and separated the hands they held, and said in a rough voice: "What are you here for? If you want to pick pets, please pick them! I have something to do!"
Sun Xiaomeng said noddingly and told Zhang Zian not to be surprised, her father had such a bad temper.
Zhang Zian had already thought about it before coming, because he was the only one in Qiyuan Pet Shop and he was not familiar with the business. He would definitely not be able to take care of him if there were too many pets, so he would only buy four or five at most.
He said: "I want to see your Siamese, British shorthair and Samoyed, all of which are about four months old."
These three types cover the price range of thousands of yuan, and are all popular. Basically, every pet breeding base can be taken out.
"Okay, come with me." Sun Yinian didn't say much and immediately led the way.
He took two steps, turned around and found that his daughter was following him, and immediately glared, "What are you doing with him? Didn't you just shouting to go back early?"
Sun Xiaomeng raised her face: "Hmph, that's because you don't give me money, so I don't want to work for free! Besides, they are all neighbors, so I have to follow you to prevent you from cheating others!"
Zhang Zi'an advised: "If you have something to do, leave first, I can do it myself."
She waved her head indifferently, "It's nothing. My clinic has just opened and there is no business. Alas, did you drive here or..."
"I came by bus, can't deliver the goods here for free?"
"Do you think a stingy guy like him will deliver you free delivery? Those who come here to buy goods are driven by themselves."
He was a little worried. He couldn't carry a few cages on the bus, right? The driver might not be willing to pull it if he called a taxi.
Unless you use the game "Pet Hunter" to temporarily save the pets into your phone, he doesn't want to do this in front of others. After all, it's really shocking...
"It's okay, I have a car, just pull you back by the way." She saw his embarrassment and said understandingly.
"Then I'll help you, I'll pay for the fuel." Zhang Zian said gratefully.
The process of choosing a pet was very smooth. Zhang Zi'an had never run a pet store personally, but at least he had seen many pets, so he didn't even know the characteristics of some pets. Moreover, with Sun Xiaomeng, a practicing veterinarian, he was even more at ease.
Once you have chosen the pet, it’s time to negotiate the price.
Hearing the few numbers popping out of Sun Yinian's mouth, although Zhang Zian was mentally prepared, the corners of his mouth still twitched a few times. The price here is indeed more expensive than cute pets, almost 40% higher. No wonder the scale there is larger and the business is better.
For pet stores, the purchase price is directly related to profits, and it is difficult to refuse the temptation of low prices. After all, as long as you sell the pet, you will make money. Whether the pet is healthy and whether it will show physical defects is nothing to do with me? It can be said that customers will not keep it.
But why did Qiyuan Pet Store be operated by parents for more than ten years, while 80% of new pet stores go bankrupt within one year of opening? It can only be said that people are doing it, and the gods are watching. This is the end of ignoring reputation for the sake of small profits in front of you.
People who keep pets like to communicate, post pictures on forums, post WeChat public accounts, etc. If they buy pets in trouble, they will definitely tell others not to go to your pet store. One passes to ten, ten passes to hundreds. Good things don’t go out, and bad things spread to thousands of miles. If you want to cheat customers, you will still cheat yourself in the end.
Sun Xiaomeng was talking to her, "Dad! Is it okay to just give her a cheaper one for the first time?"
Her father glared at me, "Are you my daughter or his daughter? Who are you talking to?"
"Tsk! Spicy!" She was so angry that she stopped talking and turned her face to the side.
"Okay! That's the price, I'll ask for it!" Zhang Zi'an decided. It's said: There is no good product, and good product is not cheap.
His promise was so happy that Sun Yinian was also a little surprised. Sun Yinian had raised the price slightly higher and wanted this young man to give up. He was not optimistic about this young man, and now he wanted to open a flower shop, a coffee shop, and a pet shop. There were too many petty bourgeoisie in front of him... he saw that he was not a profiteer.
"Cough!" Sun Yinian coughed, "Okay, if I spend 5,000 yuan here, I can give you some other small animals."
"Hey? Why didn't I know there was this rule?" Sun Xiaomeng turned her face and deliberately asked her father in a teasing tone.
"I have to ask you for instructions if I set the rules?" Sun Yinian glared again.
Sun Xiaomeng's car is an Encore, which is a bit compact, but it is still more than enough to fit four cages.
When Zhang Zian saw the little animal given by Sun Yinian, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It was really a little animal. It turned out that he gave him a hamster!
