Chapter 115: The Pet Food Problem

Looking at the murderous Zhao Qi and Liu Wenying behind her, Zhang Zian looked bewildered.

"What kind of power do you maintain?" he asked.

Both of them came with cat bags, and obviously brought the English short and Siamese that they bought before.

"What rights are you talking about? Why do other people's cats know how to do stunts, but our cats can't? Are you discriminating against us or something?" Zhao Qi took off his big hat as soon as he came up, "It seems that your cat is not bad. We are still vigorously promoting it with our neighbors, why are you cheating us?"

Ever since Zhao Qi knew that the cats bought from Qiyuan Pet Store could do stunts, he immediately went to Liu Wenying upstairs to verify, and found that Liu Wenying's Siamese also couldn't do stunts. Zhao Qi is not someone who can suffer in the dark, so he will drag Liu Wenying to defend his rights immediately.

Liu Wenying is quite a bit older, so she has doubts about it—first of all, I don’t know if the video on the Internet is credible, and even if it is true, so what? When people sell cats, they don’t advertise that this cat can perform stunts. If they advertise, but our cat can’t, then we should defend our rights. In fact, this is not the case. We don’t buy cats for stunts. False propaganda, rights protection and so on come from nowhere! .

Of course Zhao Qi also understands this truth, but she just refuses to accept it, how can someone who buys later can buy a cat with special skills, and she can't buy it a few days earlier? Although Liu Wenying was reluctant, she couldn't save face and was forcibly pulled over by Zhao Qi.

When Liu Wenying bought the Siamese, Zhang Zian provided good advice, and her daughter Yueyue also liked that Siamese very much, even if she wanted to change it, Yueyue might not agree. Although she came with her, she didn't speak for Zhao Qi.

Zhang Zian understood as soon as he heard it, it turned out that this was the case.

He explained: "It's not discriminatory, and I didn't cheat you. The cats you bought really can't do stunts, because I haven't trained them at that time. Later cats can do tricks, but the price has also increased."

"What..." Zhao Qi's eyes widened in surprise, "With a price increase?"

"That's right, the price of rice, vegetables, and houses has increased. Why not increase the price? Besides, the price of my cat has increased because of the increased added value. Of course, if you are not satisfied and feel cheated, I can give you a return, although the return period has passed, but the customer is God."

Zhao Qi suddenly had nothing to say.

She had prepared a lot of drafts before she came, and she planned to threaten him with returning the goods, but who would have expected that he would actually propose to return the goods by himself.

So return it?

She couldn't bear it.

Lan Lan is no longer a "goods" to her.

Lan Lan wakes her up with her wet tongue every morning, looks at her with reluctance when she leaves home for work, and hugs Lan Lan when she gets angry at the company when she comes back and chatters about her. Lan Lan has become her life partner. For a part, even in exchange for a British short that can perform stunts, it is no longer Lan Lan.

Liu Wenying sighed and pulled her from behind, meaning let's go.

Zhang Zian was hard at first and then soft, and then said with a change of tone: "Or I can provide another way of compensation."

"What way?" Zhao Qi asked, staring at him.

"This store is going to launch a membership system. If you recharge and become a member, I can provide you with a chance to upgrade your skills for free."

Zhao Qi and Liu Wenying were stunned by the unexpected development, and looked suspiciously at this store whose decoration style was at least ten years behind the times. This way, it is really possible to launch a membership system, so they are not planning to run away with money, right?

"Ms. Liu, I remember recommending Linghe Pet Clinic in the north to you before?"

Liu Wenying nodded, "I went there once and took my cat to get rid of insects."

"That's it. This store and that store are going to cooperate. If you become a member of this store, you can also enjoy discounts on deworming, immunization, medical examination and medical treatment at that store."

Liu Wenying was a little moved. Her family's Siam does not just stay at home like Zhao Qi's Yingduan. Her daughter Yueyue often takes Siam outside to play. For Yueyue's safety, regular deworming is inevitable.

"The money put into the membership card can be used to buy cat food, bathe the cat and so on. It will not be wasted. The stunt is equivalent to a free gift." He added.

Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "No need, my cat food is imported from Haitao, which is better than yours!"

Zhang Zian retorted: "That's not necessarily the case! There are many fake ones in Haitao."

She said disapprovingly: "I bought them from the top sellers on the Internet. How could it be fake? Do you think everyone is a fool? Anyway, I can't trust domestic products for the things I eat, and I can't bear to let them go." Lan Lan eats."

Zhang Zian explained: "Unless it is directly mailed or transshipped from abroad, it may be fake, because the profit of counterfeiting imported cat food is too high, and fake products account for a large part."

The pet food market is chaotic, the reputation of domestic pet food has dropped to freezing point, and the counterfeit rate of imported pet food remains high.

In addition, from a legal perspective, the country has not formulated effective and reasonable standards and policies for pet food, which objectively exacerbates the chaos in the pet food market.

Some of Zhao Qi’s clothes and shoes are bought online, but she doesn’t know anything about cat food. The publicity is so hype, everyone says their cat food is the favorite food for cats, but some people say cats love it It was because of the food attractant added to the cat food, which made her at a loss, so she had no choice but to follow the crowd and buy whichever had the highest sales volume. Anyway, so many people would have an accident together.

She said stubbornly: "Anyway, I would not consider domestic cat food - I also know that direct mail from Haitao is better. Foreign cat food is not expensive, but it is too heavy and the shipping fee is too expensive. Direct mail has the risk of being confiscated by the customs. , it will be confiscated and destroyed as soon as it is found out. I only have one cat, and it’s not like I have several cats. If I buy too much at once, it will expire if I can’t finish it!”

After hearing her words, Zhang Zian felt that this seemed to be a business opportunity. If the pet store could buy cat and dog food and sell them at a low price, it would definitely attract many customers to become members.

It’s just that reliable foreign channels are not easy to find. Large foreign e-commerce companies don’t care about his quantity at all, and foreign Taobao——Ebay sellers are also mixed. Zhang Zian didn't have any relatives abroad. Several of his former college classmates went abroad, but they were all working in their careers and studies in other countries. How could they have the spare time to help him with pet food all day long.

The reliability and stability of the purchase channel is the most important. Online purchasing of Japanese and Korean cosmetics is very profitable, but it is not so easy for ordinary people to earn this money. The most important reason is that there are no reliable purchase channels and customs channels.

After thinking for a long time, he didn't have any idea, so he asked Zhao Qi: "Suppose, our store can get genuine imported cat food in the future, and because our store will import a lot at one time, the shipping cost is very cheap on average, and the retail price is the same as or even the price you buy online. If it is lower, would you be willing to become a member of our store?"

Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "How do you guarantee the authenticity?"

"Of course it is guaranteed by the reputation of our store. In addition, if this store really starts this business, it will definitely show reliable certificates of foreign import and transshipment, so you don't have to worry about this. Under this situation, would you be willing to become a member?"

"If you can guarantee the real product and it's cheaper than online, no fool would want it!" Zhao Qi said.

"Okay, just have your words!"

"Do you have a purchase channel?" Seeing that he seemed to have a plan in mind, Zhao Qi asked suspiciously.

"Not yet." Zhang Zian told the truth.

"Then you've been talking nonsense for a long time!" Zhao Qi was disappointed.

Zhang Zian smiled, "How could it be nonsense? Just because there are no channels for the time being doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. After all, I'm an insider in the pet industry. I know more about cat food than you do, and I'm definitely better at finding channels than you are." It's easier for laymen."

Liu Wenying said from the side: "Actually, I think it's better to feed cats homemade cat food, it's safe and worry-free."

Zhao Qi said helplessly: "I also know that homemade is good, but don't you have time? I even buy my own rice ready-made, so I don't have time to make cat rice."

Liu Wenying was very enthusiastic and said after hearing the words: "Oh, tell me earlier, I don't have time usually, but I will make some cat food on weekends, next time I will make more, you can come and get it."

Zhao Qi was very grateful for her enthusiasm, but knew that it would be okay to take it once or twice, and it would be too cheeky to always take it. This is just a drop in the bucket solution.
