In fact, Zhang Zian wanted to complain. Others could get a bonus for providing clues to solve a case, but he only got a pennant for helping to solve a case. What could this pennant do? Could it be eaten?
The customers waiting outside the store shouted, "Hang it up! What are you waiting for? Someone specially sent a pennant … "
Just then, Wang Qian ran out of the store and whispered, "The store has been cleaned."
Zhang Zian nodded to show that he got it. He raised his voice and said to the crowd, "Well, sorry to keep you waiting. Please come in!"
People had been waiting impatiently for a long time, so they rushed into the store. Sheng Ke frowned, afraid that there would be a stampede. Fortunately, Wang Qian and Li Kun were responsible for maintaining order at the door, so there was no trouble.
"Captain Sheng, let's go in, please."
Zhang Zian and Sheng Ke said "please" to each other and went in together.
After Zhao Qi entered the store, she ran to the shelf with imported cat food. She carefully observed the manufacturer's authorization documents, customs clearance materials, and import approval documents posted on the side. They were all very formal, with no signatures or stamps missing. As a long-time clerk, she had seen a lot of similar documents and materials, so she quickly recognized that they were all authentic.
When she looked at the price, she couldn't believe her eyes. It was 20% cheaper than buying cat food from overseas!
Today was the store's anniversary, so they could get another 20% discount. However, they needed to report the secret code to the cashier, which was "The Hottie Store Manager."
Many people came here for the imported cat food. While cursing the unscrupulous secret code, they took the cat food to the cashier and reported the secret code.
Zhang Zian listened to the "The Hottie Store Manager" and felt very happy. He felt that he had finally gotten his revenge!
He asked Li Kun to go to the utility room to find a no-hole hook and stick it on the tile wall of the store. Then he hung the pennant on it. At least the wall was not empty anymore.
More and more customers heard the news and rushed over, pouring into the shop in an endless stream.
"Hey! Why can't you sell it? Is there a purchase limit? "
"Yes, Mr. Store Manager said so …"
Someone was arguing loudly at the cashier. Zhang Zian heard Lu Yi Yun's voice was very thin and weak. He was worried that she was being bullied, so he hurried over to check on the situation.
A fat man in black clothes was holding several buckets of imported cat food in his arms, and there were a few more buckets on the cashier counter. He asked Lu Yi Yun to pay for him, but Lu Yi Yun kept shaking her head and said no.
When she saw Zhang Zian walking over, it was as if she had seen her savior. She stood up with tears in her eyes. "Mr. Store Manager …"
Zhang Zian gestured for her to sit down and said to the man, "I am the store manager here. May I ask what's going on?"
"You're the manager?" The fat man sized him up and said somewhat rudely, "I want to buy something. Why can't I sell it?"
Zhang Zian said calmly, "Because this imported cat food is a benefit provided to our shop's members, you can't buy it outside at this price, so only our shop's members can buy it."
The fat man frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "What should we do, member? Can I just top it up with 10 yuan? "
"Top up 10 yuan for membership? Do you think this is an internet cafe? " Zhang Zian responded bluntly, "Our shop's members need to top up 1,000 yuan at one time."
"1,000 yuan?" The fat man was about to lose his temper, but after thinking about it carefully, he swallowed his words and changed his mind. "Okay, 1,000 yuan it is. Give me a membership."
Zhang Zian knew what he was thinking and added, "Each member can only buy two buckets of cat food a month."
"Why is that? I have a lot of cats at home. Can't I buy a few more buckets? "the fat man argued.
Zhang Zian calmly said, "I'm sorry, this is the shop's rule to prevent people from buying it at a low price and then reselling it. Please understand. These two buckets of cat food are enough to feed three or four adult cats for a month. "
When the other customers who were watching the show or waiting to pay the bill heard that this man was a middleman and that he bought so much at once to resell it, the way they looked at him immediately changed. After all, everyone hated scalpers.
The fat man's face turned red, and he heavily threw the cat food in his arms on the cashier's table. "So troublesome! I don't want to buy it! Really, I don't want money! Humph! "
In order to save his face, he threw a tantrum, turned his head, and angrily walked out.
The opening time was constantly delayed, so Zhang Zian had enough time to consider all the details. He had thought in advance that the cheap imported cat food might attract middleman dealers, so he added a purchase limit.
He also wanted to sell more cat food to make money, but he couldn't. The cat food arrived in Hong Kong in the form of express mail and then was transported to China. If the quantity was larger, he could only go through the official import and export channels, and the price would rise, and the attraction to customers would plummet.
Lu Yi Yun gratefully nodded to him, sat down again, and continued to pay for other customers.
"It's not easy to do business …" Sheng Ke sighed behind him.
Zhang Zian smiled. "It's not easy to do any business. Captain Sheng, please come in and have a seat. "
Sheng Ke walked around and looked around. "The decoration here is good. It's a big change compared to the last time I came here … Oh, you even got a bronze cat statue. No dog?"
He asked, bending down to stare at the bronze statue of the cat god.
"It's for the door god. I saw that some shops had a Maneki-Neko doll in front of the door, so I got one too. As for the dog … I don't have one yet, "Zhang Zian said.
Many customers were interested in the bronze statue of the cat god, especially since Zhang Zian had set up a sign next to it, detailing the origin of the bronze statue, saying that it was a perfect replica of the British Museum's Gayer-Anderson cat, which was already out of print. It was a gift from Snowy for the opening of the shop.
Girls raised their mobile phones, pouted their lips, made a peace sign, and took selfies with the cat god statue. Then they posted it on their WeChat Moments to show off.
Many boys also took pictures of the cat god statue in their mobile phones or cameras, especially the three equipment lovers. The goal of their debate had become whether or not to take pictures of the cat god statue until its skin was white and rosy …
In addition to the people buying cat food in the pet supplies area, more people gathered at the second door. Everyone's focus was, of course, the seven Abyssinian cats. After all, this kind of cat was too rare to be seen in any cat house or pet shop.
"Wow! Look at their ears, so big! And their faces are so small! So cute! "
"Yes, especially their eyes. They are full of intelligence, and their body shape is exactly the same as the bronze statue outside. They really look like elves from ancient times!"
Boys and girls, whether they already had cats at home or not, all took out their mobile phones to take pictures. Wang Qian and Li Kun hurriedly dissuaded them. They could take pictures, but don't turn on the flash. Frequent flashes were not good for the cat's eyes.
Snowy also liked this kind of cat, so she took a few pictures to bring back to her mother.
Liu Wenying and Yue Yue were playing with a few kittens in the corner.
"When I came today, I didn't know that you were reopening. Otherwise, I would have brought some gifts. It's really embarrassing to come empty-handed …" Sheng Ke looked at the lively shop and said with regret.
"It's okay. Captain Sheng, you're too polite. It's my humble shop's honor to have you here. Besides, didn't you bring a silk banner …" Zhang Zian was always paying attention to the situation in the shop, so he casually responded.
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, you showed your power in the dog market a few days ago. I heard about it, and then I saw the video. You are really good at Kung Fu!" Sheng Ke praised sincerely. "Especially that temperament of not being afraid in the face of danger. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't pretend it."
"Not at all. It's just a group of thieves," Zhang Zian said modestly.
Sheng Ke wanted to invite Zhang Zian, the Kung Fu master, to the police force in his spare time, but he was afraid to disturb Zhang Zian's business.
He glanced around and suddenly noticed Famous, who had been quietly lying in the corner of the shop.
