836 Love Big, Love Small (1/2)

Someone who bought a cat or dog didn't always necessarily buy a cat or dog house, but a fish buyer surely needed a fish tank. The only difference was where to buy one. After all, not many men had Welder Zhao's hands and could make everything by themselves––not to mention make them nice and presentable.

Among the customers inside the aquarium, there were not only rookies, but also professionals who had been raising saltwater fish for years. Not only did they notice the small tanks for live rocks at the bottom of the aquarium stand, but they were also curious about the stand's layout.

Just then, Snowy came over with Snowball. She hadn't forgotten that her primary goal of the visit that day was to live broadcast the aquarium.

The shaved Snowball had taken a bath in the automatic dog washer. It was almost unrecognizable, as if a girl with long hair suddenly got a crew cut by an apprentice in the street.

Snowy circled the aquarium with her phone so that the audience could see what the aquarium was like. She heard Zhang Zian introducing aquarium stands to customers, so she walked over to listen.

The aquarium tanks that Zhang Zian had ordered included the tanks and the stands. The tanks were similar for the most part, while the main differences were in the stands. However, aquarium rookies usually didn't know the function of the equipment in the stands and were too shy to ask; they were afraid of being ripped off by sneaky merchants. As a result, they just paid without getting to the bottom of things.

The stand layout and the aquarium equipment quality were the most important determinants of an aquarium tanks' quality. If the layout was lousy, in which all equipment was stuffed into a stand, then it would make future maintenance and changes a headache––not to mention the noise isolation and shock absorption.

In Germany, Zhang Zian had observed Karl's aquarium and his daughter's pet shop. He had paid special attention to the scientifically reasonable layout inside the aquarium stand. After his return, he modified it with with his own self-design according to the realistic conditions of Chinese fish owners. Then, he had them custom-made by people from the construction material market.

After hearing ”self-design,” the audience started to express their doubt.

”Come on, what kind of self-design could there possibly be? All I can see are a few planks added inside the stand,” someone mentioned.

”If this counts as self-design, I can do it too.”

The so-called self-design sounded impressive. In fact, it was no more than separating sections with planks inside the aquarium stand, while leaving pre-arranged holes and passage for the pipes. He also added wire organizers to make the wires look less messy.

Zhang Zian knew the live broadcast fans would surely have negative comments to add. He said, ”Don't look down upon these planks. I didn't put them in random places. Instead, after careful consideration, I nailed them where they are supposed to be. For example, a desktop PC case is nothing more than a box with some holes and a few metal boards, yet, it's sold for 200-300 yuan or more. Why not just stuff the motherboard, CPU, and graphic card in an empty box? Isn't that cheaper?”

”Manager Weak Bird, don't talk too fast! I'm telling you that my desktop PC doesn't have a case!” someone said.

”No case? Is it a super expensive, all-in-one PC?” another netizen responded.

”No. I'm using a shoe box as a PC case. The ventilation is great, and it's environmental friendly.”

”Don't make your poverty sound so noble…”

”Holy crap! I can't imagine that I can meet geeks from Tualatin bar.”

”Hail the pros at Tualatin bar!”

”It's almost summer. Be careful in case a shoe box catches fire…”

”Haha! The standard PC case of Tualatin bar––a shoe box! I wanted to try it in the past. But I'm not good enough at DIY…”

”If you pay 3000 yuan for Tualatin bar membership, you'll soon be able to manage an internet bar next to a university!”

”Unfortunately, I entered the wrong bar in the past. I ended up paying 98,000 yuan…”

As the online fans joked around, Zhang Zian continued to introduce his self-designed aquarium stand to the customers.

For example, if a regular aquarium stand was a shoe box, then his self-designed stand was a PC case. Although some geeks from the Tualatin bar loved the challenge of using a shoe box as a PC case, most normal people preferred using a normal PC case.
