Not long after, Wang Qian and Li Kun also came for their daily routine cleaning, but they had already seen the Holy Cat statue, so they were not surprised.
Zhang Zian had nothing to do. Since Lu Yiyun came, he had even asked her to do the work of sorting out the shelves, so he was very free. When he was about to go upstairs to practice boxing, his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was an Internet call from Tim.
He went back to the second floor, picked up the phone, and asked Richard to talk to him.
"Hi! Jeff! How have you been? It should be morning, so I should say good morning. " Tim's voice came from the receiver, and Lauren's voice could be heard vaguely. "Lauren also asked me to say hello to you for her."
"Hello, Tim. Say hello to Lauren for me, too," said Richard.
Tim had a typical American straightforward temper. After a little greeting, he got to the point.
"Jeff, listen to me. Didn't you ask me about the chocolate Abyssinian cats a while ago?" Tim said with interest.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Richard and Zhang Zian looked at each other and thought of Cathy at the same time.
"I just got the news today, the exact news," Tim emphasized. Tim emphasized, "CFA will officially announce the confirmation of the chocolate-colored Abyssinian cat tomorrow, or tomorrow here. I will not confuse the date anymore. If everything goes well, you will soon be able to find the relevant information on the homepage of CFA. "
Hearing this, Zhang Zian didn't know what to feel. He could only say that fate made fools of him. He should have gotten the news a few days earlier. If Cathy was still alive, she would be very happy to hear the news.
"Thank you, Tim. Thank you for telling me," said Richard. Zhang Zian was also grateful to Tim and Lauren. He just mentioned it casually, but they kept it in mind and called him as soon as they got the new news.
"You're welcome. Jeff, last time I heard you say that you have a friend who breeds chocolate Abyssinian cats? You can tell your friend the good news, and he will definitely treat you to a big meal! There are very few breeders of this kind of cat. Once it is recognized by the CFA, its value will increase by more than ten times! "
"After the chocolate-colored Abyssinian cats are recognized, the corresponding competition will be held soon. The first competition should be in the open group. After getting four championship ribbons, you can participate in the championship competition! Jeff, if your friend had been breeding chocolate-colored Abyssinian cats for a long time, he would have had a huge advantage in this competition. Basically, he would have won the championship! Do you know what this means? Your friend will be a few body lengths ahead of the other breeders, and this advantage will last for at least ten years! "
Tim spoke excitedly on the other side of the phone. After talking for a while, he realized that there was no response from the other end of the phone.
"Jeff? Are you still listening? Is the damn network disconnected again? "He cursed in a low voice.
Zhang Zian was silent. Richard said, "Yes, Tim, I'm listening."
"Jeff, this news is definitely worth a big meal. Don't tell your friends about it for free." Tim's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.
Zhang Zian smiled bitterly.
"By the way, Tim, can you do me a favor?" Richard knew that Zhang Zian didn't want to continue talking about this, so it changed the subject.
"Anything, as long as I can do it," said Tim.
Richard had followed Zhang Zian to the dog market, so it knew what Zhang Zian wanted to ask, so it directly asked for him, "I want to ask you about Ashera cats for me. I know that this kind of cat is sold exclusively by a pet company. Do you know the relevant information? "
"Ashera cats?" Tim was stunned on the other end of the phone. "Wait a minute."
He talked with Lauren for a while, then picked up the phone again.
"Jeff, I've heard of this kind of cat, and I've seen it once. It is a kind of big cat that looks very wild, but is relatively docile and loyal to its owner. The most important thing is that it is very expensive, very expensive!"
Richard said, "I know it is expensive, but you know that there are many rich people in China, and that money is not worth mentioning to them. The current situation is like this: a friend of mine came to me and said that he wants to buy this kind of cat, but he doesn't know how to buy it, and it is difficult to transport it. So I want to ask if you can help me contact that pet company, and if possible, help me buy one directly. "
Tim said uncertainly, "Okay, I can try."
Richard knew that money could make the world go round, and even if it was a friend, it would be good to have some extra money as an incentive. It put forward a very tempting condition, "Tim, listen to me. I know this is a bit troublesome, but my friend is very rich, and he will pay you in advance and the corresponding commission. He won't let you suffer any losses. And if you can succeed this time, there may be more rich people who want to buy wild big cats in the future. "
Tim smiled bitterly on the other side of the phone. "Yes, it is the same in the United States. Hollywood stars in Beverly Hills, oil tycoons and nouveau riche in the Middle East and Russia, many people like wild big cats. Some people will directly raise tigers and leopards, and some people who are not so crazy will raise this kind of big pet cat that is a cross between a serval, a leopard and an ordinary domestic cat."
"We don't understand the psychology of the nouveau riche, do we?" Richard joked.
"Yes, yes, that's right! In my opinion, such wild cats are not suitable to be pets at home at all. How can they be better than Ragdoll cats? Uh... Jeff, I really want to say a few more words, but my wife is urging me to go to bed. Let's call it a day. I will help you inquire about it, and wait for my news. Bye! "
"Bye!"
Tim hung up the phone.
Zhang Zian sat on the sofa, thinking about what Tim had said.
There was no need to think about the Ashera cat. Tim would try his best to help, and if it didn't work out, there was nothing he could do.
As for the chocolate Abyssinian cat...
As Tim had said, the cats left by Cathy had a huge first-mover advantage. As long as they participated in the CFA Tour, they would be able to win the championship easily. If Cathy were still alive, she would be very happy to participate in the CFA Championship, which was an honor that belonged to her.
However, Cathy's own experience had left a bad impression on Zhang Zian, and he did not want to step into the CFA Championship again, nor did he want to waste his time frequently traveling between China and the United States...
After thinking about it for a long time, it seemed that there was only one solution that was the best of both worlds, which was to leave a chocolate Abyssinian cat and let Tim take it to the CFA Championship, and it would be more convenient for Tim to handle the matters related to the application for the Blood Certificate. He believed that Tim would not refuse this request. After all, Tim often took his own Ragdoll cats to participate in the CFA Tour, and it was just a matter of convenience.
Thinking of this, he found the phone number of Adams' lawyer in his address book, hesitated for a moment, and dialed it. It was already late at night in the United States. Although it was not working hours, Adams would definitely pick up the phone with his professionalism.
Sure enough, as he expected, the phone rang only once, and Adams answered almost instantly.
"Mr. Zhang, what's the matter?" Adams asked directly, skipping all the greetings and formalities. He was probably suffering from jet lag, and his voice was a little hazy at first, but he immediately sobered up.
Zhang Zian skipped the formalities and even the apology, and directly stated his intention — to leave an Abyssinian cat in the United States, and a friend would take care of it for a period of time. Because this matter was urgent, he was worried that the cats had already boarded the flight, so he took the liberty to disturb them late at night.
He heard the squeaking sound of Adams sitting up in bed.
"Wait a minute, I will check it right away," Adams said concisely.
After a moment, Adams replied, "Mr. Zhang, you are very lucky. If your call came a few minutes later, they would have boarded the plane. So, which cat are you going to keep? "
The eight cats all had different names, and Zhang Zian would certainly not keep Wendy. He thought about it and chose an eight-month-old cat of competition age. "Bella!"
