Chapter 32: A Business That Didn't Work Done
With Liu Wenying's experience in the past, Deng Jie knew that she should not have preconceived notions, so she explained her situation and asked Zhang Zi'an to help decide which one to buy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"I want to buy a cat. I saw on the forum that your family's English short is good, and other people also say that the quality is good, so I prefer the English short, but I still ask the boss to help you advise. I'm not afraid of your jokes, my husband and I don't have children, and I raise the cat myself, so I don't have to think about the impact of the child in order to relieve boredom. Look at this situation, how about the British short?"
Zhang Zi'an judged from her appearance that Deng Jie was about the second half of her thirties, and when she said that she had no children, her expression was a little gloomy, and there must be something unspeakable.
"I don't know what your budget is?" he asked.
"This ...... Five or six thousand, it's better to be lower......" Deng Jie said vaguely.
"The English short in my store itself costs 6,000, and if you plan to buy some cat food and cat litter or something, the budget may be a little tight, you can consider other ones. He suggested tactfully.
Deng Jie's clothes are relatively plain, and the bag is not a famous brand, and her family background should be quite ordinary. It is precisely because of her ordinary family background that she has to shop around.
"Six thousand?" Deng Jie's eyebrows swept between a line of surprise and retreat, "Six thousand is too ...... It's expensive. ”
She saw Zhao Qi's Ying short in the Wanghai Pavilion forum, but she didn't know the specific price, from the conversation just now when Liu Wenying bought a cat, she knew that Siam was four thousand, and it was about the same when she thought about it, just within the budget, but she didn't expect it to be six thousand!
It's not that she can't take out 6,000, but she can save money by adhering to the principle of being diligent and thrifty.
"Boss, I'll be honest, the price of six thousand is a bit too expensive. Her tone had switched to bargaining mode, after all, the cats in this store were really good, and if she could bargain successfully, she would still be willing to buy them here.
She said indignantly: "I read it on the Internet before I came, and you can buy two on the Internet for 6,000 yuan, even if it is other pet stores, there is no such expensive method!"
Zhang Zi listened to her quietly, pointed to his shirt and said, "Look at my shirt, it was also purchased online, and it is more or less a famous brand." The problem is that when I bought it, the picture showed that it was apricot yellow, and it was found that it was earthy yellow after the mail arrived home, and the seller did not give it back on the grounds that the display had color difference. Okay, just forget if you don't let it go, make do with it, it's cheap anyway, and if you really don't like it, just throw it away. But if it's an expensive pet, are you willing to throw it away?"
He continued: "Online shopping is really cheap, but through pictures and videos, you can't see the pet's hair luster, muscle elasticity and pupil clarity, you can't tell if there is a problem with your pet's ear and nose secretions, you don't know if your pet is healthy, you can't tell if your pet's attitude is a relative, whether your temper is short-tempered, and even the one you show you may not be the one that was mailed to you." ”
He pointed to the dejected Samoyed, "A new batch of pets from the farm, the nearby pet physical store will screen a round first, select the good ones, and the rest will be selected, do you think the farm will throw away? No, how can you be willing to throw it away, of course, it is sold at a low price on the online channel, or it is bought cheaply by some unscrupulous physical stores to sell at a high price." Cheap is cheap, and expensive is expensive. Personally, I don't recommend buying them from the Internet. ”
Deng Jie has not shopped online, of course, she has also been cheated by online shopping, she savored Zhang Zi'an's words, and what she said was indeed very pertinent. She has also heard that even clothes and shoes and socks are divided into physical store and online only, and the quality is different.
"But I've seen other pet stores, and although it's more expensive than online, it's at least a lot cheaper than yours...... Even that starry pet supermarket chain, such a big company, is cheaper than yours!" she said stubbornly.
When she mentioned the starry pet chain, the mysterious man who had been hanging out in the pet supplies section stopped, his ears facing this way.
It is not the first time that Zhang Zi'an has heard the name of Fanxing Pet Chain, he is very puzzled why he wants to compare with a giant like Fanxing in such a small store, and the business route is different.
He smiled and said: "How did Fanxing do it so cheaply, I don't know, and I haven't been there, it stands to reason that the daily operating costs of such a large enterprise should be much higher than mine...... Let me give you an example, if you buy an antique, you should ask an expert who understands antiques to help you palm your eyes; when you buy a building, you must ask a decoration company or an industry insider who understands construction to help you palm your eyes; if you want to buy a pet, of course, you can't buy it blindly, so as not to regret it. I'm here to help you filter out pets with poor health and bad temper in advance, and the money that is more expensive than other stores is my palm eye fee. As for whether these extra expenses are worth it, it is up to you to judge. ”
He estimates that this business will not be successful, and price-sensitive consumers still do not treat pets as luxury goods. But even so, he doesn't plan to reduce the price, is it really worthless to be knowledge?
Deng Jie thought about it, but still couldn't make up her mind.
"Then let's forget it for now, I'll go back and think about it. She didn't say anything, and was going to go back and discuss it with her husband.
"It's okay, you can come back anytime, and I'm going to get a new batch of pets recently, so you'll be able to see them the next time you come. ”
Zhang Zi'an ran a pet store for the first time, and he was afraid that he would take too big a step and pull eggs, but with the success of selling pets one by one, word of mouth gradually spread, and his confidence became more and more sufficient, and he was ready to buy more next time.
After Deng Jie left, Zhang Zi'an was about to greet the mysterious man, but saw that he also left the store with Deng Jie, but not on the same road.
Zhang Zi'an scratched his head in confusion, "What the hell is this person here for?"
"Woo woo......" Samoyed lay on all fours in the display case, whimpering lowly, his ears swaying back and forth, as if begging for comfort.
Zhang Zi'an originally planned to wait for no one to release the beckoning cat to take a look, but when he saw that Samoyed was so pitiful, he opened the lid of the display case, took it out, and let it wander around the store. But he had to keep an eye on it to keep out it defecating in the store. As soon as the guest enters the door, they step on, which is terrible!
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and he estimated that there were no customers, so he planned to close the store early.
Just as he walked to the door, two more people came to him, one about forty years old and the other about ten years old, who seemed to be father and son.
The boy was wearing a school uniform, slightly fat, with a bit of a fat tiger's demeanor, his little face was red, and he wiped his tears as he walked, and his nose and eyes were red from crying. When the father's face was also quite ugly, and he was a little helpless.
"Are you the boss here?" the man asked.
"That's right. Zhang Zi'an nodded.
