In the beginning, the quoted price that the sales clerk at Love Lovely Pet gave Zhang Zian was very favorable. Compared to the offer from Pets’ Home, every pet was cheaper by a few hundred. At the time, Zhang Zian was just purchasing for the first time, and the amount of purchase was pitifully small as well. One could imagine that super customers like Stars with the ability to bargain could certainly enjoy bigger discounts. His parents had said before that no matter how inexpensive the pets were at the breeding bases that did not allow inspections of their breeding farms, they should not be purchased—those pets had problems. Zhang Zian pondered. He knew the results now, but was still uncertain of the reasons that had caused them. Unless he had personally gone to check out Love Lovely Pet, everything was an assumption.
The driver counted the number of pets, and matched the number with the quantity stated on the delivery note, then waved his hand and said, ”All right, hurry and leave, don’t hang around in this area. It’s quite an eyesore.”
Jealousy! This must be him being jealous of his handsomeness!
Zhang Zian didn’t want to keep pestering with this kind of trash, so he turned around and walked towards the inside of Pets’ Home.
The road suddenly became broader before his eyes after going all the way through a number of bungalows and two story buildings. He finally arrived at the core of the region—the breeding ground. It was his third time coming here.
The boss of the breeding ground, Sun Yinian, was in a fierce debate with a woman about something, and was even waving his arms to increase his imposing manner. In addition, there was also a person who looked like an assistant standing on the side with a folder tucked under his armpit. More precisely speaking, it was a one-sided conversation for Sun Yinian. The woman on the opposite side was like a rock and did not move. Near them, hundreds of small iron cages were lined up with a pet in every one of them, with the equivalent of cats and dogs as the main pets. It was as if they were prepared and chosen to be ready to send out and load onto the truck at the entrance. Sun Yinian’s spit flew everywhere. ”Money manager! I can’t accept this price that you offer! It is just too low! I can’t recover my costs if you are like this!”
Qian Fang wore a gray, fitted professional outfit, her facial lines were cold and sharp, and she gave people a very smart and competent feeling. ”Boss Sun, this is not the first time we have made a deal.” Qian Fang’s tone was very calm. ”You should know that the price of goods fluctuates in accordance with the market. It’s an economic downturn currently, and housing prices are constantly rising as well. People have less and less money, and if we want to sell pets, we can only cut the prices, or else we won’t be able to sell them out. Stars is such a big business, and there are a large number of staff members to support at each branch, so we have to control costs from all aspects. I hope you understand.”
”Motherf*cking bullsh*t!” Sun Yinian couldn’t help but to burst out a foul mouth on the spot. ”You guys made a deal at the start that the price would be based on this. Now you want to change it just because you say so? You guys have a lot of staff members to support? I still have a big family here to raise!”
”That was only a verbal agreement, but circumstances have changed now, and we have no way either,” Qian Fan replied.
”Bullsh*t! I think you guys had wanted to secure me at the start, but now you want to kill the donkey the moment it leaves the millstone? [1]” Sun Yinian cursed. ”Do you guys still have any conscience? Do you guys talk about integrity? Your words are like farts and change every day! Verbal agreement? I talked about signing an agreement at the time, and you guys were very unwilling, so that’s why it wasn’t signed! Now you say that verbal agreements don’t count? F*ck you!”
Qian Fang took out her handkerchief, wiped off the spit that was splattered onto her face, and was still unmoved. ”Boss Sun, please calm down. Emotional agitation won’t solve anything. We all muddle along in the industry, so let’s speak frankly. Pets are living things, and each pet is unique, right?” Sun Yinian was sulking and did not reply, but Zhang Zian nodded his head in agreement to this statement. Qian Fang continued, ”Since they are living things, then the prices are unsteady, of course. Two Persian cats, with one’s condition being lower than the other, could have a price difference of hundreds of thousands, right?” Zhang Zian still nodded—this statement was correct.
