Zhou Yi first arrived at a pet store closest to his home, and as soon as he entered the door with the box, a little girl greeted him and asked kindly: "What pets do you like, kittens, dogs, I can help you introduce." ”

The little girl was too enthusiastic, but Zhou Yi was a little embarrassed, so he had to lift the box in his hand and said, "I want to sell two kittens." ”

"Oh." The little girl puffed out her cheeks, then pointed to the counter inside and said, "That's the boss, go ask him." ”

Zhou Yi thanked him, and then walked to the counter.

Standing at the counter was a man in his thirties and less than forty, playing a game with the Love Crazy Five.

Zhou Yi walked over, put the box on the counter, then gently opened the box, exposed the two kittens, and then said to the boss: "I want to sell these two white folded ears, I don't know if your store accepts them?" ”

The boss raised his eyes and looked at the two kittens, came a little interested, put down the phone, and then said, "One hundred yuan, both." ”

When Zhou Yi heard this price, he frowned slightly and said, "Boss, these two are Scottish white folds, isn't it too dark for a hundred yuan?" ”

"I only came out of a hundred when I saw that their coat was clean, otherwise it would be 30 yuan a piece." The boss said with a disdainful smile.

"Boss, don't you know the Scottish Fold Cat? The market price is more than 10,000 pieces, okay? Zhou Yi was a little speechless.

"Those you are talking about are race-level folded ears cats with CFA pedigree certificates, like you, who are sent to pet stores, and they don't know the bloodline at all, and they don't know if they have epidemic diseases, whether they have been vaccinated, and whether they have genetic diseases? It's hard to say even where the cat came from, and if you don't walk on the front foot, the police will come to recover the stolen goods on the back foot. The boss said in one breath a lot of suspicion.

Zhou Yi didn't want to continue talking to this boss, and finally asked: "Just say a sincere price, how much can you give?" ”

"One hundred, sell it and keep it, or take it." After the boss finished speaking, he picked up his phone again and continued to play the game.

Zhou Yi stopped talking, closed the box, and carefully picked it up and walked out of the pet store.

"Brother, I promise, one hundred yuan is the fairest price in the industry, and you can take it whenever you want to sell it." The boss shouted at the end.

Zhou Yi didn't bother to pay attention to her and continued to look for other pet stores.

Zhou Yi estimated that the scattered small pet shops were unlikely to offer high prices, so he directly took the No. 21 bus to the largest pet street in Yunhai, "Pet Home".

The pet street is actually an indoor street, divided into two floors, there are dozens of pet shops, including almost all the pets imaginable, in addition to shops that sell various pet supplies such as cat food, dog food, pet toys, etc.

Zhou Yi entered the pet street, holding the box and asking from store to store, as long as the price is one or two hundred, it is not nonsense to leave directly.

Finally, in a pet store on the second floor, I met a boss who offered a price of 1,000 yuan a piece.

This price is already ten times the price of those pet stores before, but it still does not reach Zhou Yi's psychological price.

It's not that Zhou Yi asks for a high price, but that the business of these pet stores is too dark. For pets, as long as customers like it, they won't care if they can afford more than a thousand or less than a thousand, and they won't come to see it at all if they can't afford it.

For example, in this pet store, a chinchilla velvet is priced at 3,000 yuan, and an American curly-eared cat is priced at 6,500.

And the price of Scottish pure white folded ears can definitely be sold three or four times that of American curly ears, so even if this boss offers a price of 1,000, it is still too dark.

"Boss, since you offered a price of 1,000, you should have seen that this is a pair of Scottish Fold cats, plus the coat color is pure and there is no variegation. You know better than me how much the market price can get, so let's open a real price. Zhou Yi talked about the price again.

"I won't pit you, your pair is indeed a purebred Scottish white folded ear, but you don't know if you will have a genetic disease in these two, folded ears cats have a problem, the bones are easy to break, and I am also at risk of collecting it, so at most one will add 500 yuan to you, and two together will be three thousand, no more." The boss said sincerely, but looking at the price of the pets in his store, he must be loyal on the outside and a businessman on the inside.

As the owner said, the bones of the Scottish folded cat are indeed easy to break, which is a genetic disease of cartilage, because of this disease, the cat will fold the ear, so as long as the folded ear cat has this disease.

However, the two folded ear cats bred by Zhou Yi with a biomaker are different, they have corrected genetic defects, and these two little white cats do not have hypochondriasis, but Zhou Yi can't explain it to this boss, and no one can believe it if he explains it.

Zhou Yi left the pet store with the box in his hand again, and after walking so many stores, he couldn't help but feel a little slack, maybe he still liked these two little things in his heart, if it wasn't for raising money, he would never have sold them.

After running all morning, Zhou Yi's legs were sore and his stomach was hungry, so he bought a bread and sat on the bench in Pet Street to chew it slowly.

By the way, put the box containing the cat on the bench and open it, so that the two kittens inside can breathe, and the two kittens are held by Zhou Yi to run around, which will look a little stupid, maybe they are a little dizzy.

Zhou Yi tore a small piece of bread and threw it to them, originally just to tease them, but he didn't expect the two kittens to be picky eaters at all, and actually ate the bread.

"Hey! These two kittens are so big, how can you feed them such dry stuff? Suddenly, an angry female voice sounded not far away.

Zhou Yi looked up and saw a pretty woman about his age walking up with a pair of apricot eyes, reaching out to protect the two kittens, glaring at Zhou Yi and saying, "Hey, what about you." Is this your cat? How can you treat them like this, such a small kitten has to eat soft kitten food, otherwise it will be malnourished. ”

Zhou Yi was taught a lesson by splitting his head and covering his face, and he didn't react for a while.

The woman said to herself: "And the folded ears cats need to be cared for very much, you have to play with them every day, and occasionally play music for them to listen to......"

"You know it's a Scottish Fold cat?" Zhou Yi asked.

"You know, isn't that obvious? Those who are not blind can see that their ears are curved, and their fur is so white, soft and beautiful......" The woman touched her hands up and down as she spoke, with a look of intoxication, and while Zhou Yi was not paying attention, she gently stroked the kitten's tail.

"Do you want it?" Zhou Yi rarely met someone who knew and liked the goods, and hurriedly asked.

"Are you going to give them to me?" The woman asked, a little surprised.

Zhou Yi was a little embarrassed for a while, scratched his head to hide his embarrassment, and then said, "I want to sell ......"

The woman looked at Zhou Yi again, and then asked, "You brought them here just to sell them?" ”

Zhou Yi was even more embarrassed, feeling like a pet dealer was being caught, but he still stubbornly said: "Yes, I urgently need money recently." ”

"How many have you asked? Is there a price that is right? ”

"Almost all asked, the highest one was opened for 1,500, the price is actually not low, but if it is this price, I would rather raise it myself."

"Then you shouldn't come here, none of the pet stores here sell rare pets, they all use skewers to fool customers, they don't need purebred pets, they just need to look at okay bargains." When the woman said this, she did not hide her disdain for these unscrupulous businessmen at all.

"Do you want that? Can be sold to you at half price. I'm sure you'll be nice to them. Zhou Yi felt that this woman really liked kittens, so if he could sell them to her, he would feel more at ease.

"Follow me." The woman carefully held the box containing the kitten, then stood up and beckoned Zhou Yi to go with her.

Zhou Yi hurriedly swallowed the bread in two bites, then patted the crumbs on his hand and followed the woman up the stairs.

The woman went straight up to the third floor, and then into what looked like a café and a pet shop.

The business of this pet café is very light, and there are not many pets, but there are a few pet houses against the wall, and there are a few kittens and dogs frolicking in them, and I don't know if they are not for sale. However, Zhou Yi, a layman, can see that these pets are all high-quality products, especially the poodle that sits quietly, the appearance and coat color are very beautiful, and it is definitely at the competition level.

The woman held the box and put it on the counter, and then said to the waiter at the counter: "Ask Uncle Qian to come over and take a look at these two white folded ears." ”

After the woman finished speaking, she carefully took the two little white cats out of the box, found a cat nest and put it in, and took some kitten food and put it in the cat nest.

Zhou Yi looked at this store, and he really couldn't see what this store relied on to make a profit, saying that it was a pet store, there were too few pets, like the hamsters that sold the most, and there were some novel lizard python pets. It's a coffee shop, but no one comes to coffee.

"Did you own this store?" Zhou Yi asked tentatively.

"Sort of." The woman didn't look back at Zhou Yi, but instructed the waiter, "Make two cups of coffee." As he spoke, he turned back to Zhou Yi and asked, "You drink coffee, right?" ”

"Yes, I'm not picky about that." Zhou Yi replied.

"Let's find a table to sit down with." Seeing that Zhou Yi had been clubbing behind her, the woman pointed to the coffee table on the side and said.

"It's okay, I'll take a look." Zhou Yi paused for a moment and then asked, "Business here seems to be a bit deserted. ”

The woman looked back at Zhou Yi, her back was next to the counter, and she asked with a smile, "How can you see it?" ”

"I see that the business of the shop below is very good, but there is no one here who comes to drink coffee and watch the pets."

"I'm not a coffee shop, I'm not a pet resale market, why should people come to drink coffee and see pets." The woman asked rhetorically.

Zhou Yi was asked rhetorically and didn't know how to answer, so he thought for a while and asked, "Then what kind of business is here?" ”

"Find the right companion for those who need pets." The woman replied with a smile.

Zhou Yi nodded, probably knowing what kind of business is here, to put it simply, it is a high-end pet business.

There is a saying in the pet industry called "it is difficult to buy a good heart", there are many rich people in this world, and there are also many lonely rich people. For people who can afford to buy tens of thousands of pets, as long as they really like it, they won't mind spending tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands more.
