Zhang Zian looked at the Persian cat that Boss Afei was pointing at and said, ”10,000 yuan.”
”What?” Boss Afei stood up. ”Are you trying to rob money from the customers? That price is absolutely outrageous!”
Zhang Zian was not bothered by his words and suggested, ”Then you can buy it from someone else.”
Boss Afei was surprised for a moment, and then he laughed. ”Brother, please don’t trick smart people here. Why is your store’s cats more expensive than a CFA-certified shop’s? Who do you think you are?”
Zhang Zian knew right away that this person just wanted to bargain the price down, so he decided not to argue with him. But after seeing the rest of the people all waiting for his answer, he started explaining, ”CFA-certified stores are not necessary selling CFA-certified cats. But if any CFA certification is needed, it could be easily done by applying for it online and just paying the fee. By the way, a CFA-certified Persian cat is not cheap…”
Boss Afei seemed to totally disagree. ”Anyway, other stores’ cats are better than yours.”
Zhang Zian did not want to argue with him and calmly answered, ”The word 'good' has a wide range of meanings. If you think 'good' refers to pedigree and appearance, then I have nothing to say. You can buy the cat from other stores, and I will have no opinion on it.”
”May I ask, Mr. Manager, what is CFA certification?” Jiang Qianxue raised her hand and asked Zhang Zian curiously, like a little girl.
Wang Qian and Li Kun said aloud in unison, ”Do not call him ‘Mister.’ Call him ‘Master’!”
”Shut up, you two!” Zhang Zian said angrily.
”CFA is an abbreviation for Cat Fanciers’ Association, which is headquartered in the United States and organizes cat shows around the world every year,” explained Zhang Zian seriously. ”It is a community organization, but it sounds better as it is from the USA.”
”Bullsh*t!” Boss Afei sneered. ”The person who was not able eat the grapes thought they were sour.”
Zhang Zian said, ”You can continue to say so.”
An audience named ”Future Online Games” sent a ”crab” sign and messaged, ”My family has a CFA-certified cat. Miss Jiang, can you help me ask the manager whether anything is wrong with CFA-certified cats?
Jiang Qianxue asked Zhang Zian, ”Mr. Manager, my audience would like to know whether anything is wrong with CFA-certified cats?”
Zhang Zian put down the book. ”Nothing is wrong. If you pay special attention to pedigree and appearance, then there is no problem buying a CFA-certified cat, but CFA-certified cats can be good and bad, so please be careful when you identify them... Anyway, it was my personal opinion of only buying the cats categorized as pets instead of showcase ones.”
”What is that?” Jiang Qianxue didn’t not understand the difference between regular pets and showcase ones, nor did her audience, so she tried to ask Zhang Zian further questions to find out.
Zhang Zian continued, ”CFA sets the standard, so we all desperately meet that standard. The so-called standard is the cat’s appearance. In order to maintain and repeatedly strengthen the appearance, inbreeding is inevitable. As for the side effects of inbreeding, if you do not know, please go back to your middle-school biology books...”
”Mr. Manager, among all your pets, are there any similar problems?” asked Jiang Qianxue.
”I only sell those pets which were selected by me personally from the breeding base. The breeding base has a large number of pets, unlike smaller pets’ houses which focuses on a few. Although the breeding base does not have the best quality pets, which I admit, one thing I can guarantee is that the pets there are healthy.”
While he was speaking, Fina's ears pricked up, listening very seriously, and its tail, with its dark-gold ring patterns, shook slightly.
Jiang Qianxue patted her head. ”Thank you, Mr. Manager, for teaching me some new knowledge!”
”Learning knowledge with Miss Jiang!” some of the audience posted online.
