When the Wuling Hong Guang MPV arrived at the pet shop, Zhang Zian saw a strange car parked in front of the shop and a strange middle-aged man standing in front of the shop, talking loudly on the phone. People who didn't know what was going on would think they were talking about orders worth hundreds of millions.
Seeing the Wuling Hong Guang MPV stop, the man put down his phone and looked at Zhang Zian. He tentatively asked, "Are you the manager of this shop?"
On a hot day, the Wuling Hong Guang MPV was good in every way except that the air conditioner was not very cooling and it also consumed fuel. Zhang Zian wore a combination of short-sleeved shirts and overalls, which were cool and had a lot of pockets.
On the other hand, the man was wearing trousers on his legs, a white shirt with a tie, and a suit on his forearm. He looked like a real estate agent.
Zhang Zian nodded, locked the door, and asked, "You are?"
"Oh, I am the factory agent, responsible for the sale of dog food. I am visiting the nearby pet shops. This is my business card."
The middle-aged man handed over the business card with both hands.
Zhang Zian took the business card and looked at it. This person was called Qi Tong, and his job was a sales manager of a company with a string of English names. The company name was very strange. He had never seen it before, but this was normal. How many American companies did ordinary Chinese people hear of? Only super companies like Microsoft, Coca-Cola, and Amazon.
"Please come in and talk," Zhang Zian gestured.
"Uh …"
Qi Tong looked embarrassed. "You have two big dogs in your shop. They are not leashed …"
He was referring to Famous and Zhan Tian.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhang Zian asked.
"No … nothing. Let's go in." Qi Tong shook his head helplessly.
When Zhang Zian was not there, Qi Tong had already entered the store to sell once, but Lu Yi Yun said that the manager was not there. She was just the cashier and could not make the decision. She asked him to wait for the manager to come back.
It was hot outside, so Qi Tong planned to stay in the store and wait for the manager to come back. While waiting, he wandered around the store, observing the pets and the types of goods on the shelves. He wandered to the stairs and wanted to go upstairs because the first floor was obviously not where the storage room was. He wanted to see how much dog food was left in the store so that he could sell it later. However, he was fiercely stopped by Zhan Tian. He was so scared that he broke out in a sweat and quickly found an excuse to hide outside the store.
Zhang Zian and Qi Tong entered the shop together. When Lu Yi Yun saw Zhang Zian coming back, she continued to paint with peace of mind.
Wang Qian and Li Kun were playing online games. They looked up and took a look. They didn't like this kind of person who clearly saw the "Customers Stop" sign but pretended not to see it and insisted on going upstairs. They laughed for a long time when Qi Tong was driven out by Warsky.
"Please have a seat."
Zhang Zian pulled up a chair and asked Qi Tong to sit down while he sat on the recliner.
He used to negotiate prices with cat and dog food manufacturers or provincial agents online. This was the first time he had received a door-to-door salesperson.
"Brother Store Manager, you are quite young. You have a bright future ahead of you! I heard that your family is very famous in the area. Brother, you must have a set! " As usual, Qi Tong complimented Zhang Zian with a few words and quickly got to the point. "Brother, I just saw that there are not many dogs in your shop, but I heard that the consumption of dog food is particularly large?"
When Zhang Zian heard this, he knew that Qi Tong was not simple. He must have done his homework.
The dogs in his shop had basically been eating the same domestic dog food, and the same dog food was fed to the stray dogs. Because there were too many stray dogs and they ate a lot, he later directly contacted the provincial representative of the manufacturer and negotiated a cheaper wholesale price. The provincial representative would deliver a batch of goods every week to avoid hoarding too much.
Qi Tong knew that the amount of dog food consumed in his shop was unusually large, which proved that the provincial representative of the domestic dog food had Qi Tong's relationship or informant. Otherwise, it would be impossible to know so clearly.
It was estimated that Qi Tong had bribed an insider in the provincial representative. The insider revealed the address and contact information of a big customer in the province, and he came to the shop to intercept.
The insider who revealed the inside information to Qi Tong received a salary from the domestic dog food manufacturer and revealed the contact information of his big customer to the sales staff of a competitor. It was really … a traitor!
In fact, it was not surprising that Zhang Zian was noticed. With his current daily dog food consumption, the average pet breeding base was far from enough. After all, most of the dogs in those breeding bases were puppies. The puppies would be sent away before they grew up. Zhang Zian had to feed hundreds of adult large and medium-sized dogs every day. He had become the largest customer of the domestic dog food in the province, so it was reasonable that he was poached.
In the face of Qi Tong's inquiring eyes, he certainly would not explain why there was such a large consumption of dog food, and he did not need to explain. After all, this was a buyer's market.
"Well … I certainly didn't eat it myself," he said lightly.
"Haha! It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. It's not good for everyone to know the way to get rich! " Qi Tong laughed, then took out a bag of dog food from the bag he carried with him and handed it to him. "Come on, brother, you are an expert. What do you think of this dog food?"
Zhang Zian took it and looked at it a little. As Lu Yiyun said, the outside of the bag was all in English, without a single Chinese character.
In eye-catching positions on the front and back of the packaging bag, there were a lot of boasting slogans written in large font, such as "super high meat and protein content", "rich nutrition", "no artificial additives", and so on … This was not a big deal, because all cat and dog food manufacturers in China and abroad wrote this. Whoever did not write this was a fool.
As for whether it was true or false … Emmmmm, it was hard to say.
Ignoring these slogans that could be true or false, Zhang Zian focused on the ingredient list, and his eyes fell on a combination of words.
"By-products?" He pointed to the word and asked, "What exactly are By-products?"
The word By-products was similar to the Chinese word for "by-products," but had a broader meaning. The By-products that appeared on the dog food label generally referred to animal internal organs and other animal leftovers, or even … dog food made from the bodies of dead stray cats and dogs.
Qi Tong did not expect him to look so carefully. He smiled awkwardly. "Brother, I am only responsible for sales. I know a little about the specific product details, but I don't know in particular … But brother, you can rest assured that this is dog food originally imported from the United States. There are customs clearance documents and sales permits. There is absolutely no problem with the quality and hygiene. You can rest assured! Think about it, the pet industry in the United States is so developed. The various standards in the United States are often universal standards. If there is a problem, how can it be sold in the United States? "
Zhang Zian shook his head and handed the dog food back. "Why don't you go back and ask the manufacturer what this By-products refers to? Let's figure this out before we talk."
