Zhang Zi'an laughed when he heard the offer of the third street vendor.

Bengal leopard cat is sought after by some people because of its unique wild beauty, the price is indeed very expensive in the past few years, but recently due to the increase in the number of breeding in the northeast, the price has decreased, and the asking price of 50,000 yuan is a fool?

However, this adult ocelot is really in good shape, with large markings horizontally distributed on the golden fur, the markings are deep on the outside and shallow on the inside, excessively distinct, the pupils like jujube kernels are sharp and spirited, the tail is thick and powerful, the annular lines extend to the tail tip, and the mouth and nose part are not as delicate as ordinary domestic cats, but there is a protrusion like a wild cat beast on the left and right, with a stiff and powerful beard.

"Brother Seven, why did you remember to buy an ocelot? I remember that you don't like to raise small animals. Xiaoxue asked Lin Qi.

Lin Qi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Well...... Actually, my friend had a serval, and the cat was very good-looking, big, beautiful, and wild, unlike ordinary cats, and we were envious...... So I thought, I can't lose face, I have to raise only the same, so that they can envy it...... He has servals, and I plan to raise ocelots, so I can't repeat myself with him. Then I inquired and said that the ocelots sold here were good, so I didn't come over. ”

When Zhang Zi'an heard this, he knew in his heart that it turned out to be a very common comparison psychology.

"Oh......" Xiaoxue turned around and asked Zhang Zi'an, "Mr. store manager, can you help my seventh brother consult, is this ocelot worth so much money?"

Lin Qi frowned, in fact, he was moved because the vendor's asking price was relatively expensive, because his friend's serval seemed to have spent more than 200,000 yuan to import from the United States, and if he bought it too cheaply, he felt a little unproductive.

Zhang Zi'an didn't understand the psychology of the rich second generation, he told the truth: "This leopard cat is in good condition...... But it's not worth the price, about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. In fact, no matter how good or bad the condition is, I don't recommend buying it, because if the leopard cat is a pet without a pedigree certificate, it is likely to be the first or second generation of offspring bred by wild leopard cats, and it is wild and difficult to tame. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" the third vendor was anxious, "Aren't you talking nonsense with your eyes open, my leopard cat is obedient, where does the wildness come from?"

Xiaoxue also felt that this ocelot was very well-behaved, although it looked very wild, but it had been lying quietly in the iron cage, and only occasionally made a short and sharp meow, which was completely different from the meow of an ordinary cat.

Lin Qi said disappreciably: "I just want to be wilder." ”

Zhang Zi'an smiled: "Be wilder...... Xiaoxue, have you ever been scratched by your snowball?"

Xiaoxue tilted her head and thought for a while, "It seems that I have been scratched once, but I didn't scratch and bleed, just left a red mark." ”

"The Persian cat has a docile personality and does not have much strength, so it doesn't matter if you are scratched, but if this leopard cat scratches you, I am afraid that the skin will be opened. Zhang Zi'an said. His parents' hands and wrists are covered with many shallow scratches, and they will deliberately wear rubber gloves when bathing cats, but they usually don't wear them all the time, and they will inevitably be scratched and scratched.

The paws of the ocelot cat are much more powerful than those of ordinary domestic cats.

"My cat doesn't scratch people, I promise not to scratch people, you see how well-behaved it is, how kind of thing does it look like scratching people?" In order to prove what he said, the third child also picked up a thin iron bar and knocked on the cage a few times, and the ocelot inside was frightened, but just moved down and called a few times, but there was no excessive resistance.

Lin Qi turned his head to look at Zhang Zi'an to see how he responded.

Zhang Zi'an thought silently for a while, and then said: "There are two possibilities, one is that this ocelot is indeed very well-behaved, and the second possibility is that it has taken sedative drugs such as sleeping pills. I can't tell which one it will be. If it is the latter, as soon as the effect of the drug has passed, it will reveal its true nature. ”

"Sleeping pills?" Xiaoxue exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, you can feed Hiromi painkillers, and of course you can feed ocelots sleeping pills. Zhang Zi'an cautiously reserved some leeway, "But like I said earlier, I don't dare to be 100% sure." ”

The ocelot is a cat that must have a pedigree certificate to buy, and it must go through at least four generations of crossbreeding with domestic cats and after breeding, so that the pedigree of wild leopard cats degenerates to less than 1/8 before it can become a domestic pet cat. Some ocelots that have only been crossed for one to three generations, although they are very beautiful, will definitely have problems buying them.

Even leopard cats, which have become pets, have the shortcomings of being too active and like to scratch compared to other pet cats, and it is basically difficult to expect them to obediently lie on their knees and let their owners pet the cat.

The ocelot in front of him was a little too well-behaved, unreasonably well-behaved, which made Zhang Zi suspicious in peace of mind.

"My ocelot didn't take sleeping pills! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" retorted the third vendor in an excited tone.

Hearing Zhang Zi'an say this, Lin Qi, who had made up his mind to buy it, also hesitated, after all, he bought an ocelot to pretend to be forced, but it was a little cost-effective to bleed in order to pretend to be forced.

"Are there any other cats that look very handsome? similar to ocelots and servals. He asked Zhang Zi'an, "It's okay to be more expensive, money is not a problem." ”

"Money isn't an issue...... Then I have a suggestion, you can go and buy the Athera cat, that cat is absolutely rare, and it looks very handsome, and it is much taller than the ocelot, which should meet your requirements. Zhang Zi'an replied.

"Athera?"

Neither Xiaoxue nor Lin Qi had ever heard of this unfamiliar name, and even the third child who was angry temporarily stopped talking and listened curiously.

"The Athera cat is a newly bred cat breed, which has not been recognized by any cat association for the time being, and I am afraid that it will not be recognized in the future. This cat is large and heavy, and looks like a small leopard. If you want to catch the eye at a friend's party and not be short of money, go buy an Athera cat. Zhang Zi'an introduced.

Lin Qi suddenly became interested, and couldn't wait to ask, "How do you want to buy it?"

"I heard that it is sold by an American pet company, and it is a limited supply, so it is probably not easy to buy......" Zhang Zi'an said this, and suddenly had an idea, and asked tentatively: "I happen to have friends in the pet industry in the United States, why don't I help you inquire?"

He thought of Tim and Lauren, who had probably heard of this kind of cat since they were professional catteries.

Lin Qi was overjoyed, "That's great! If you can help me buy it, I'm willing to pay the intermediary fee, money is not a problem!"

He is not short of money, but he has no purchase channels, and he is not very well-informed about this, so he will go to the dog market to buy an ocelot. Now that he had a better goal, he simply gave up on the ocelot of unknown origin.

"First of all, the price of the Athera cat can only be more expensive than the serval, and it cannot be cheaper than the serval, at least 200,000. If you are sure that you want to buy it, you have to pay a deposit first, otherwise I will ask my relationship to get it from the United States, and if you don't buy it, then I will lose a lot. Zhang Zi'an confirmed again.

He found that he still underestimated the fanatical pursuit of rare pets by these rich second generations, and it was no wonder that the trench coat forced the man to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a primitive Egyptian cat.

"No problem. Lin Qi agreed, "Since you know Xiaoxue, then I will believe you." As long as you inquire clearly, you can really buy it, and I will pay you the full amount immediately. ”

"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhang Zi'an was also very happy, he didn't expect to come to the dog market for a walk, and he could actually make a business.

If this business goes smoothly, he may be able to buy some rare pets from other rich second generations in the future.

The pet company in the United States has advanced genes and genetic technology, and in recent years, several new cat breeds have been bred, in addition to the Athera cat, the more famous Savannah cat, the price is very expensive, ordinary people can't afford to buy it, and it is a toy for local tyrants.

The most important thing in China is the local tyrants!
