Chapter 457 Pet Communication Promotion Association
Everyone's attention had partially shifted from Athera's cats to the snow lions, looking at them alternately.
This person talked eloquently, but Zhang Zi'an listened quietly, guessing his identity and intentions in his heart.
Finally, the person said: "Raising a cat does not necessarily have to pursue purebred, but the character and appearance of purebred cats are more secure and have their own meaning of existence." Okay, everyone, I seem to be itchy for a while, and I have made the old mistake of talking a lot, and I am timid in front of real experts, so don't mind, please feel free to buy the pets you want to buy. ”
Although everyone felt a little unsatisfied, they didn't say anything, and they were embarrassed to ask, so they went into the store to buy pets under the guidance of Wang Qian and Li Kun, or sat and waited for the kitten to dance the performance. There were only a few people left at the door, still observing Athra Cat and Snow Lion.
This person smiled apologetically at Zhang Zi'an, walked over and introduced himself: "Hello, you are the store manager here, right? I am Wu Mingzhen, the president of the Changqiao Pet Exchange Promotion Association. ”
As he spoke, he handed over his business card.
Zhang Zi'an took the business card and looked at it. Changqiao City is the capital of a neighboring province, and its economy is more developed than Binhai City, and Changqiao Port is a famous deep-water port on the east coast of China, and its import and export trade is very prosperous. However, Zhang Zi'an had never heard of a pet exchange promotion association there.
As if seeing through Zhang Zi'an's thoughts, Wu Mingzhen explained: "It's normal that Store Manager Zhang hasn't heard of it, and our association is just a non-profit non-profit non-profit organization formed spontaneously between some pet lovers in order to facilitate communication. ”
Zhang Zi'an briefly introduced himself: "My name is Zhang Zi'an, and I am the manager of this store. ”
"I know. Mr. Zhang is a celebrity in our association, and we have heard many of your deeds, which can be said to be admired for a long time. Wu Mingzhen smiled, "To be honest, at first we were skeptical of those rumors and adopted a wait-and-see attitude, but as some videos circulated on the Internet, some foreign groups even sent us inquiries to ask if the dancing kittens in your store were real, and whether we could go abroad to hold exhibitions." ”
"Going to open an exhibition abroad?" Zhang Zi'an was stunned when he heard this, he had never considered this.
"Yes. Wu Mingzhen affirmed: "So far, there have been groups from the United States, Canada, France, Denmark, South Korea, Fuso and other countries that have expressed strong interest in your cat, and this also contains great economic benefits." According to the statistics of the Fuso Pet Food Association, from 2012 to 2016, the number of Fuso pet dogs dropped from 11.53 million to 9.87 million, while the number of pet cats increased from 9.53 million to 9.84 million in the same period, and it has surpassed in 2017. You know that Fuso's economy has been sluggish for a long time, but even so, the wholesale price of kittens has risen from 124,000 yen per kitten in 2013 to 210,000 yuan per kitten in 2017, and rare breeds of cats can easily sell for 1 million yen! ”
To say that Zhang Zi'an is completely unmoved is false, this is simply a typical example of people who are stupid and come quickly!
He also knows that the younger generation of Fuso believes in the concept of "cuteness is justice", which may be one of the main reasons why the number of pet dogs is decreasing and the number of pet cats is increasing.
However, he still tends to pay more attention to the good things that come to the door, as the saying goes-nothing is diligent, and it is either a traitor or a thief.
Seeing the suspicion flashing on Zhang Zi'an's face, Wu Ming really seemed to have expected it, and emphasized: "We are a non-profit organization, and the main purpose is to promote communication and let the society look at pets in the right light." As for the main members of the association, they all have formal jobs and financial resources, and do not expect to make money from this. We started this association because we love pets and that's it. ”
The other party said very frankly, Zhang Zi'an temporarily dispelled the doubts in his heart, but he still politely refused: "Thank you, President Wu, I appreciate your kindness, but my small shop is only on the right track at present, and I have been entangled in many things recently, and I have not left the energy to open a cat exhibition or dog exhibition abroad...... However, if you have any inquiries from foreigners, you can tell them the address of our store, and if they are visiting China, they are always welcome to visit our store. ”
Wu Mingzhen glanced at the store and found that there was only one cashier in the store, Lu Yiyun, plus Wang Qian and Li Kun, two helpers, compared to the number of customers, the manpower was really a little small, and Zhang Zi'an, as the owner of the store, really had no time to withdraw.
He nodded regretfully, "Okay, that's fine, I'm sure it won't be long before tourists from other countries come to the store to buy pets." ”
Zhang Zi'an is also very happy, is it said that he can finally see all kinds of foreign soft girls?
"Also, today I'm coming empty-handed. Wu Mingzhen spread out his hands, "But now that you have entered Baoshan, how can you go back?" I want to communicate more with Store Manager Zhang, and by the way, I can buy a kitten that can only dance and go back, I don't know what Store Manager Zhang thinks?"
"Of course you can, you should communicate more. Zhang Zi'an guessed that he still wanted to believe it to the dancing kitten, and he didn't say anything, anyway, it was always good to be able to make a business. Judging from what he said just now, although Wu Mingzhen is not an insider, he is also half a pet expert, and it is very easy to do business with such a person, which can save a lot of time.
After watching the excitement, Xuan Ying came over with a wicker woven cat bag to say goodbye to Zhang Zi'an and Lu Yiyun. Luo Qingyu was cheeky to stay, because he found that there were a few girls who entered the store of good quality, so he used a SLR to show off in front of them, hoping that someone would ask him to take a photo, preferably a private photo.
Wu Mingzhen asked Zhang Zi'an to deal with the customers first and take a look at the store by himself. He came all the way from out of town, and he definitely wanted to know more before going back.
Someone goes, someone comes.
After a while, a Bentley pulled up in front of the store, attracting the attention of many customers. Zhang Zi'an also saw it, and said that these local tyrants changing cars are similar to changing clothes, the last time I saw Lin Qi, he drove a BMW i8, and today he changed to an unknown model of Bentley.
Lin Qi hurriedly got out of the car and walked into the store, and at a glance he saw the Athera cat in the cage.
"me! so big?" he said, standing in front of the cage, bewildered.
"This cat is already huge, one of the biggest cats in the world. Zhang Zi'an looked at him sympathetically, "But don't worry, you are so rich, it can't eat you." ”
"The problem is not in this ......" Lin Qi stomped his feet in regret, "The problem is that its cry is really infiltrating...... I had to pee my pants in the middle of the night when I heard it. ”
Zhang Zi'an couldn't help this problem, so he had to comfort: "Just get used to it." ”
He said in his heart, who told you to buy such a peculiar cat out of the ordinary, let yourself cry!
"By the way, does this cat bite?" Lin Qi tentatively approached the edge of the cage and found that it had no intention of biting.
"Probably not. Zhang Zi'an said, "Since you dare to sell this cat as a pet, you will definitely not bite people on purpose, otherwise the money will be spent in vain...... The people who buy this kind of cat are local tyrants, and the other company can still have a point in their hearts?"
Zhang Zi'an is quite sure of this, although this cat dares to confront Fina, it is because Fina is a cat, and the confrontation is due to the feline's nature of arguing about territory, even when ordinary domestic cats meet.
"That's good......" Lin Qi's palms were sweaty, and he smiled reluctantly, but he still didn't dare to open the cage.
Zhang Zi'an saw that he was cowardly like this, so he had to take matters into his own hands, "Get out of the way and look at me." ”
Lin Qiru was pardoned, and quickly dodged his position.
"Be careful, store manager!" The onlookers also took a few steps back, for fear that the cat would burst out and hurt people as soon as it came out of the cage.
Their trembling ghost appearance made Zhang Zi'an, who had a bottom in his heart, a little afraid, but he still opened the cage, carefully pulled the leash, and pulled out the cat.
Although it looks fierce and its screams are infiltrating, it seems to have a relatively docile personality, and it is led by Zhang Zi'an, looking around uneasily.
"Look, it's okay, there's a lot of people around, so it's a little nervous, you can just take it home. Don't be afraid, treat it like a regular cat. Zhang Zi'an handed over the tow rope to Lin Qi.
Lin Qi still didn't dare to be completely reassured, and asked, "Can this leash be tied around its neck all the time?"
"It's better not to. Zhang Zi'an shook his head, "Cats don't like to be collared." You don't have to be nervous, animals are sensitive to your emotions and your nervousness is contagious. ”
Lin Qi grinned bitterly, since this cat has already been bought, it is better to show it in front of his friends, as for the future...... Let's see if anyone wants to take over, everything else can be endured, but the screams can't be endured.
After Lin Qi drove away, Wu Mingzhen walked next to Zhang Zi'an and said with emotion: "I heard that the top foreign celebrities are all raising real beasts, such as lions, tigers and leopards, and the second-level rich people will raise these strange cat breeds. Like this young man, can Athera's cat really bring him happiness?"
Zhang Zi'an agreed, but he didn't understand the world of rich people, and he was not interested.
"President Wu, please come in, what cats do you want to see?" he invited.
Wu Mingzhen smiled: "Any one who can dance will do." But I'd love to ask Mr. Zhang, where did you get this purebred Linqing lion cat? I always thought they were extinct......
Zhang Zi'an replied calmly: "I picked it up on the street, but I am actually a high-end beast king hunter." ”
