342 Reaching an Agreemen (2/2)
Richard continued, ”Two more things. First, you should pay for the shipping fees of the cats. Second... You should send over some high-quality cat food regularly, and I will cover the fees for that, agreed?”
Zhang Zian had been thinking how he can find the supplier of imported cat food, now he can tackle that problem together.
These two aspects were no proble to the Kellers. Since they were going to send several Ragdoll kittens to China in one time, the shipping fee wouldn't be very expensive for one kitten. Besides, Blue Climax had always had cooperation with cat food manufacturers, who sometimes would rent the championed cats from them to shoot commercials, so they were able to obtain high-quality cat food with low prices from the manufacturers.
After agreeing to the proposal in general, they started to discuss some detailed problems, for example, Lauren requested Zhang Zian to pay attention to the reviews of the qualifications of potential buyers of Ragdoll kittens, their cats must not be sold to clients who had poor or unstable living conditions, and Zhang Zian agreed to that. He also took pictures with his cell phone of the diagnostic reports of infectious and genetic diseases provided by them. He sent those pictures to Sun Xiaomeng, asking her to see if there were any problems with the documents or whether they were falsified.
As they reached a consensus with the details, the atmosphere became relaxed, and they started to have conversations without too many concerns. Tim, who was quiet before suddenly asked, ”Jeff, how long does it take for you to complete training the cats?”
Lauren also wanted to know the answer to this question.
Richard answered vaguely, ”Not long, I only need a few days.”
Lauren and Tim were dumbfounded. It only took him a few days to teach kittens to dance…???
”When will you come to America?” asked Tim.
This was an easy sentence that Zhang Zian understood. He and Richard were stunned at the same time, ”To America?”
”Yes, too many forces need to be mobilized if we send a group of kittens back and forth, and it's not good for the kittens to change their environment frequently. The temperature difference between Los Angeles and Binhai City is significant, especially in this season,” said Lauren, who worriedly looked outside.
Though it was not snowing heavily, there was no indication that the snow was going to stop soon. With the snowflakes flying, the earth had been dyed a silvery-white.
Zhang Zian admitted that what they said made sense. Transporting a group of kittens from America to the freezing Binhai City, after they had learned dancing, then back to the warm Los Angeles, would make the kittens susceptible to diseases due to such repetitive and drastic temperature changes. He hadn't thought about it before, but now, he realized that he must go to America to train the cats.
Honestly, he wasn't averse to the idea, he was anticipating it. He had never gone abroad before. Staying in America for a few days would be an eye-opening experience for him.
”When do you think I should go there?” asked Richard.
Lauren and Tim looked at each other and answered at the same time, ”The sooner the better!”
”Why the rush?” Richard wanted to figure it out.
Lauren explained, ”It's going to be Thanksgiving soon, and afterwards will be Christmas and New Year’s. A lot of kids must be looking forward to having dancing kittens as presents...We won't rush you if it takes you a long time to train the kittens, but since you can do that in only a few days, we hope you can come to the US sooner. And after the holiday season, you can go there once about every three months.”
Zhang Zian gave it a thought and looked at his shoulder, signaling to Richard with his eyes.
Richard put forward the question Zhang Zian and it had prepared in advance: ”Then when will you send over the Ragdoll kittens in the agreement?”
The couple answered without hesitation, ”When you arrive in America, as long as the training was successful, we will arrange the matters of delivering the Ragdoll kittens and cat food immediately.”
Richard didn't think there was anything wrong in this. Seeing that Zhang Zian was in no intention to object, it answered for him, ”Fair enough, I agree to work with you.”
Zhang Zian stood up and shook hands with them respectively. Richard said, ”Look forward to our cooperation.”
Lauren and Tim finally felt relieved. Their exhaustion and worries all the way long had been paid off.
Zhang Zian was looking forward to his trip to America. If he was lucky enough, he might run into some interesting elfin across the ocean!
