Chapter 68: Self-Washing Cats
"That's right. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang Zi'an said with a smile, "I am going to expand my business, after all, I can't make much money just by selling pets, isn't it popular to diversify now? ”
Aunt Liu thought to herself, you don't have any customers here at all, and it is estimated that she can't hold it anymore, so she wants to make some money by bathing the cat.
"Ouch, my cat," she patted the back of the beautiful girl in her arms, "I'm usually pretty well-behaved, but it's a bath trouble, and I've never taken a bath since you sold it to me, and I always get water everywhere, and then I run around the house, and I ruin the leather sofa and mahogany furniture in our house." Isn't it, seeing that you can bathe the cat here, my aunt said that you must be professional, so I brought it here, Zi'an, you will be a little tired, and wash it. ”
Sure enough, it was still the same old routine, Zhang Zi said with peace of mind, first deliberately exaggerated the loss, caused psychological pressure on me, and then took advantage of me with confidence.
He nodded, "No problem." ”
Aunt Liu smiled happily and forgot about the previous unhappiness. As long as you kid wash me once, you have to wash me again and again.
"Auntie didn't take much money with her when she went out today...... Come, you can keep these 10 pieces. She took out the crumpled ten-dollar bill from her trouser pocket and gave it to Zhang Zi'an, and at the same time expected Zhang Zi'an to be embarrassed to accept it, so after pushing it around, she naturally took the money back.
Zhang Zi'an did confiscate, he raised three fingers and said, "300." Wash once 300. ”
Aunt Liu was stunned, and she couldn't speak with her mouth open.
"Hehe, Zi'an, are you kidding again?" Aunt Liu's hand holding ten yuan hung in the air and forced a smile.
Zhang Zi'an shook his head, "No, I don't dare to joke with Aunt Liu, I made a little joke just now, Aunt Liu, your face is blue, I'm afraid that another big joke will scare you out of a heart attack." ”
"300 yuan for a cat's bath? Zi'an, are you talking nonsense? How can it be so expensive!" Aunt Liu's face turned pale and she reprimanded.
Zhang Zi'an said calmly: "My pricing here is like this, if it's too expensive, Aunt Liu, you can go to other stores to wash it." ”
Aunt Liu said angrily: "Tell me, why do you want to be so expensive? Is it because you wash well, or is your water expensive?"
Zhang Zi'an replied very seriously: "Aunt Liu, you misunderstood, it wasn't me who washed it, you washed it." ”
"What?" Aunt Liu, Wang Gan and Li Kun were stunned together.
Zhang Zi'an turned around and pointed to the pet bath on the first floor, where there was a paper pasted at the door, which read: self-service bath, 300 yuan per time.
"Everyone has eaten the buffet, there is no waiter, they eat by themselves, and the laundromat, they put their own coins and wash themselves. I'm a self-help bath here, that is, the owner of the cat bathes the cat himself, and I only provide the venue. He said as a matter of course.
Aunt Liu was angry, "I'll bathe the cat myself, and I'll give you 300 yuan?"
Even Wang Qian and Li Kun are in a groove in their hearts, Master, you want to rob?
"That's it, but we also provide hot water, showers, hair dryers, and power supplies...... The most important thing is that we provide a service that makes cats not resist bathing, and this alone is worth the price of the ticket. Zhang Zi'an gave a positive answer, but this answer sounded more painful to others.
In Zhang Zi'an's opinion, this is a very fair price.
There are two kinds of people who come to the pet store to bathe the cat, one is the cat that is extremely resistant to bathing, and the other is too lazy to do it themselves, and it is convenient to spend money at the pet store.
Obviously, Zhang Zi'an's target customer is the former.
The biggest problem with bathing cats is that cats have an aversion to wetness, and even if a small number of cats don't resist so fiercely, they will never sit there obediently and let you do it - it's better if the owner does it himself, but if the owner really has that ability, why bother sending the cat to the pet store to bathe?
With Fina here, none of this is a problem.
Under this premise, bathing the cat by the owner himself can increase the affection of both parties, which is better than having a third party do it for you.
In addition, Zhang Zi'an is the only one by himself, if he comes to bathe the cat, who will come to the store?
If you hire another person, even if it is part-time, the salary cannot be less than 2,000 per month, and it must be higher than the minimum wage. In this way, at least a dozen cats must be bathed every month to be considered profitable, and if you don't achieve it, the gains outweigh the losses.
Moreover, Zhang Zi'an also has other concerns -- unless you get along for a long time, you can't figure out the temperament of the new employee, what if you are kind and vicious, eat inside and outside Zhang Zi'an's back, or abuse the pets in the store? These are all things that need to be carefully considered, and you can't make decisions as soon as your head is hot.
Zhang Zi'an is very careful about running a pet store. Running a store is not a game, there is no S/L Dafa, and one wrong step will never be recovered. Maybe he'll hire people later, but that's for later, at least not for now.
Aunt Liu shook her head, "Crazy, really crazy! I can wash it at least three times in other houses for 300 yuan, and I have to wash it myself here...... I didn't see that you kid has been out for a few years, and you've made all the top people in the dark! It's a shame for your parents, if you don't know how to repent, just wait for your store to close!"
Wang Qian and Li Kun were quite moved at first, thinking that the relationship between Aunt Liu and Shizun was good, but now they gradually felt that something was wrong, the relationship was good, could they curse Shizun like this?
Zhang Zi'an shrugged indifferently, "I don't bother you if my store is closed, I clearly mark the price here, and I can buy and sell freely." But if you don't, please poop. ”
He ordered the eviction. There's nothing to be proud of when you're fighting with a middle-aged aunt, but what if you win? People can come up with a big move like shrews scolding and rolling on the street at any time, pull you to her level, and then beat you with their rich experience.
Aunt Liu stomped her foot, so angry that she was about to turn around and leave, but there was a figure outside the door, and someone happened to want to come in.
Coincidentally, the person outside was also holding a cat.
Outside is a young girl, about twenty years old, staying in the sea for a long time, covering her eyebrows all the time, wearing large-framed myopic glasses, only revealing a small half of her face, no makeup, and her clothes are fat and fat like home clothes, in short, she gives the impression of being raunchy and very homely.
When the young girl saw that someone in the store was about to go out, she immediately flashed to the side like a bunny and let the people inside come out first.
The door of Qiyuan Pet Store is still an old-fashioned glass door, and the front and back of the door are marked with "push" and "pull", which is not a high-end automatic sensor door like Longfeng Jewelry Store.
When Aunt Liu saw the cat held by the young girl, she immediately changed her mind, smiled and stepped aside, beckoned to the girl, and motioned for her to come in first.
