Chapter 28: Business is a bit hard
So from a comprehensive point of view, Lu Liang felt that he didn't need to waste time and energy here. Instead of working hard in this kind of new store, it is better to go to the old store to get started quickly and make quick money.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, but the decoration of your store is more elaborate than any store I've ever stayed in. If two or three years ago, I would probably have stayed here and worked with you. But you also know in the pet store industry that it is not easy for a newly opened store to gain a firm foothold. So...... I think I'll go back and think about it first, and I'll give you an answer when I've thought it through. ”
Lu Liang left without looking back. The atmosphere in the shop is a bit rigid. Li Fei bent down and touched Doudou and Miki, who came to comfort him, but he didn't have a taste in his heart and thought about how to run the shop. If you can't recruit a suitable pet groomer, the overall situation of the small store will be deadlocked. After all, pet boarding income is less, and the majority of profits are in pet goods and pet grooming.
"Meow... Feifei, everything will be okay meow..."Miki rubbed his head against Li Fei's trouser leg, not to mention how well-behaved he was.
"Wang! Woof! Everything will be fine, Ah Fei! ”
Doudou sat obediently in front of him and stared at Li Fei, and could see that the two little guys wanted to help. But they have more than enough heart but not enough strength, in addition to comforting Li Fei in their own way, they can only eat as little cat food and dog food as possible every time they eat...
After lunch, the three friends in the store waited until 2 p.m. to finally wait for the first customer of the day. A middle-aged uncle who looks to be in his forties and fifties.
The uncle was wearing a plain casual jacket and large-rimmed brown sunglasses on his face. The hair is meticulously combed into the back, and it looks a bit of a family.
The uncle's name is Lu Deyong, and he lives in the community next door to the commercial street. The family has a one-and-a-half-year-old Alaska, who looks a little like Doudou, but is twice the size of Doudou.
"Guests, Ah Fei! I'm here to receive you this time, Wang! ”
Lu Deyong walked into the shop with his hands behind his back, and saw a husky suddenly popping out of the dog park.
"Oh hey! It scared me, I thought it was my dog, it turned out to be a two, haha. ”
Lu Deyong grinned and stretched out his hands, holding the trotting Doudou, it was a tiger touch...
"Hahahaha, young man, your husky is better than my Alaska. I don't know how you trained it, so active and so affectionate, this dog has a really good personality. ”
Lu Deyong was full of praise for Ha Dou, hugging and touching, so he almost kissed Erha with his mouth...
Doudou's hard performance, Li Fei silently watched in his eyes. I remember last time Chu Manman said that Doudou didn't like strangers to touch her. Now she took the initiative to step forward and changed her usual way of letting customers and hug. It can be seen how eager the little guy is to help Li Fei in his heart!
"Hello sir, welcome, the shop has just opened in the past two days, and many products have discounts......"
Doudou tried his best to help himself, and Li Fei did not slack off in introducing the small shop service. He introduced it in front of the man for more than two minutes, and almost introduced all the dog products in the store. But none of them can mention the slightest interest in men. In addition to squatting on the ground and playing with Ha Dou, Lu Deyong only nodded and said "oh" in response, as for those dog supplies and dog food, he didn't want to understand.
After playing with Doudou for more than three minutes, I saw Lu Deyong finally stand up, and then casually asked Li Fei, "Young man, do you have any business in this store to bathe dogs and shear dogs?" My hair is growing again, and I need to trim it, otherwise I won't be able to walk it out for a long time. ”
Alaska is a large dog with neither long nor short hair, but it needs to be trimmed. Beautifully cut, it is absolutely majestic and majestic. The cut is ugly, it's like a hooligan in the dog world, far less than the medium-sized Erha, which is flattering.
Faced with the pet grooming needs of the guests, Li Fei replied with a trace of embarrassment, "Sir, our small shop has just opened, and the pet groomers have not yet been recruited, so there is no way to launch the pet grooming service for the time being......"
"Oh, if you don't, forget it, do you sell See brand dog food here? Bring me two cans of beef, and I've been playing with Erha in your store for so long. It's always a little embarrassing to go back empty-handed. ”
Lu Deyong is quite good-hearted, he spent 20 yuan to buy canned imported beef, and went back to add food to Alaska at home.
Li Fei pinched the two crumpled ten-yuan bills in his hand. Then it wasn't until a long time later that the notes were put in the cash register.
This business has been done, but it all depends on the cute and coquettish Doudou. In a sense, Lu Deyong's 20 yuan is more inclined to the degree of "charity". It's not what Li Fei really wants, making money on his own.
"Ah Fei, how did Doudou behave just now? Woof! ”
Seeing Erha running towards him with his tail flicking, Li Fei squatted down and hugged her in his arms...
Doudou stuck out his tongue, licked and licked Li Fei's cheeks, licking the originally sensational atmosphere until only a face of saliva remained...
Li Fei didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and wiped his saliva dry. With such a well-behaved Doudou and Miki by her side, even if the process is difficult, it suddenly becomes full of meaning.
At around 5:50 p.m., a young woman wearing a black OL skirt and a white loose shirt happened to pass by Li Fei's shop when she came back from work.
The woman's name is Maggie Wong and she works as a clerk in a multinational company. I have a six-month-old British shorthair cat at home, with a light blue coat and gray hair, a big head and a round face, a serious expression that is very cute, and quite cute when meowing.
Maggie Wong carried her black bag on her back and went straight to the cat cabinet in the shop. Miki in the fourth row of squares glanced at the woman, and then meowed and became coquettish.
"Meow..."
Maggie Wang saw that Miki took the initiative to show affection, so she smiled sweetly and stretched out her right hand, and began to stroke Miki's hair gently.
"Meow... Meow..."
Miki made a "purr, purr" sound, and from time to time rubbed the woman's hands affectionately with her cheeks.
The smile on Maggie Wang's face became sweeter and sweeter, and then she simply hugged Miki in her arms, it was the first time she had seen such a humane cat. Manyu, who believes in fate a little, holds Miki gently. After about two minutes of hugging, Miki in his arms slowly closed his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep.
Maggie Wang watched the cat like a baby, gradually falling asleep. I only feel that the picture in front of me is too cute and loving. The cat I met for the first time slept soundly in her arms so trustingly. This made her, who also loves cats, really feel a little flattered.
