While Vivi was picking up the Siberian kitten, Masanori Suzuhara was carefully selecting the food bowl, cage, collar, leash, and other pet supplies for Snoopy on the shelf. In the past, Snoopy had its own laboratory to provide these things, but this Snoopy belonged to her. In the process of selecting the pet supplies, she was also enjoying the happiness of being a real owner. One of the problems she faced was that she was a foreigner, so it was a little more troublesome to apply for a dog raising license, but she was confident that she could overcome it.
Lu Yi Yun brought her shopping bags, which were designed according to Ting Ying's suggestion and customized online. The light brown hard kraft paper looked high-end, with the name, address, phone number, and other information of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop printed on one side, and a large QR code on the other side, which someone would always scan.
Masanori Suzuhara picked out an item and put it into the shopping bags. Soon, two shopping bags were filled. In addition, she also wanted to buy a pet air box.
Zhang Zian suggested to her politely, "Don't you want to buy pet body wash? Beagles have a small disadvantage, which is that they have a strong body odor, so they need to bathe often. Human body wash is not suitable for dogs. "
"Yes, I know." Masanori Suzuhara lowered her head and glanced at the shop. She hesitated and asked, "Well... Can't you bathe dogs here?"
"Yes, you can." Zhang Zian signaled her to follow him, took her to the pet bathroom, and introduced, "This is the pet bathroom in this shop, but due to the lack of staff, we can only bathe our pets by ourselves."
Although this sounded high-sounding, at present, only customers with cats came to the shop to bathe their cats. Even if there were customers with dogs, they would immediately shake their heads when asked if they had to bathe their dogs themselves.
Most cats hated being wet to varying degrees, and cats were not as affectionate and obedient as dogs. Once a cat that was afraid of water was forcibly bathed, it was likely that both the owner and the cat would be hurt. Because of Fina, customers who came to Zhang Zian's shop could easily bathe cats that were afraid of water, so they were willing to spend the money and do it themselves.
But what about dogs?
First of all, there were no elfins in the shop that could control ordinary dogs. Second, dogs were not afraid of water, and bathing dogs was not as troublesome as bathing cats. Customers brought their dogs to the pet shop to be bathed in order to spend some money to relax. However, if they still had to do it themselves after spending the money, they might as well just leave the dog at home to bathe. Who would be so bored as to spend money on such a pointless task?
Nominally, the bathroom in the store was for pets, but in fact, it was for cats. No customers had ever spent money to take a bath with their dogs.
If the Amazing Fate Pet Shop wanted to start the dog bathing business, it would have to hire extra people. After all, Wang Qian and Li Kun were only part-time workers, and they wouldn't stay in the shop all day long. Hiring people was more troublesome. Who knew what the new employee's character was like? Would he be a traitor or something … Moreover, the bathing money he earned might not even be enough to pay the employee's salary.
Therefore, Zhang Zian did not intend to start a dog bath business, but this did not prevent him from showing off.
He introduced how to use the bathroom to Masanori Suzuhara in a serious manner. Masanori Suzuhara looked surprised. She was a foreigner, but she was not a fool. Who would spend money and still have to do it herself? Who would spend such money?
"Do I have to do it myself?" she asked to confirm.
"Cough! Well … Because we don't have enough staff, we have to do it ourselves for now … The great leader told us that if we do it ourselves, we will have enough food and clothing … "Zhang Zian said.
Masanori Suzuhara saw that he misunderstood her, so she clarified, "No, I didn't mean that … Have you heard of an automatic dog washing machine?"
"What?"
Zhang Zian doubted that he had heard wrong.
He had heard of automatic washing machines, but he had never heard of an automatic dog washing machine …
Masanori Suzuhara put down Snoopy and explained with gestures, "We have an automatic dog washing machine in Japan. It's a coin type. You put the dog in and put in the corresponding number of coins. The machine will continuously spray the washing foam on the dog's body, then wash the foam with warm water, and finally dry the dog's hair with warm air. The whole process takes about half an hour. When the dog comes out, it will look brand new, and it can prevent the dog from catching a cold during the bath."
What the heck! Is there such a magical thing?
Zhang Zian's worldview was refreshed once again!
He could only lament that the talent tree of the Japanese was indeed crooked …
Snowy was also stunned. She couldn't imagine what an automatic dog washing machine looked like. All she could think of was the image of the dog spinning around in the drum washing machine …
"This is called an automatic dog washing machine … Does it mean that it can't be used to bathe cats?" Snowy asked curiously.
Since winter, Snowball's frequency of bathing had greatly decreased, because the weather was too cold and it wore thick clothes. It was too hot in the bathroom with the door closed, and too cold with the door open. Her mother was worried about her, so she didn't want her to bring Snowball to bathe. She was afraid that her hands would get frostbite when the wind blew.
"Theoretically, yes," Masanori Suzuhara replied. Masanori Suzuhara replied, "However, dogs are very obedient when bathing, while cats hate water. They are always jumping up and down in the machine, scratching and screaming miserably … So very few people use this kind of machine to bathe cats."
Zhang Zian and Snowy thought of a possibility almost at the same time!
"Mr. Store Manager, you can buy two of these machines. One for bathing cats, and one for dogs. Isn't that great?" Snowy suggested.
"That's right!" Zhang Zian clapped his hands and thought it was feasible.
Imagine two automatic dog washers standing side by side, one for dogs and the other for cats. The owners could sit comfortably on the side and chat, and the shop could even provide drinks. Half an hour later, with a ding, the door of the machine opened. Clean and fragrant cats and dogs jumped out of the machine. The owners held the cats and dogs and bid farewell to each other elegantly … It was simply too high-end and classy!
With such a novel thing, there would definitely be people willing to pay to try it, even if it was slightly more expensive than the manual bathing service.
Zhang Zian did a rough calculation. Taking into account the commercial water and electricity consumption, the price of the machine itself, and the follow-up maintenance fees, a half an hour of bathing time might not make a lot of money. However, this was a new business, and it was full of gimmicks. It could bring in a considerable number of customers.
The key was, where could he buy this machine?
He picked up his phone and asked the almighty Taobao for help.
However, after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the coin-operated automatic dog washing machine that Masanori Suzuhara had described, even on the almighty Taobao, which sold tanks, aircraft carriers, and Star Destroyers.
In desperation, he tried to ask Masanori Suzuhara, "Miss Suzuhara, do you know where I can buy this automatic dog washing machine?"
"Uh …" Masanori Suzuhara thought about it and said apologetically, "I only know that there are companies in Japan that sell this kind of machine. I really don't know if other countries sell it …"
Zhang Zian scratched his head. This was troublesome. Even the almighty Taobao couldn't find the automatic dog washing machine. Did he really have to buy it from Japan? However, he was unfamiliar with Japan. Where could he buy it? Besides, it was uncertain whether they would sell it or not.
However, wasn't there a Japanese girl standing in front of him?
So he said shamelessly, "Miss Suzuhara, I want to know which Japanese company sells this magical automatic dog washing machine. Can you help me check it out when you have time? It would be best if you could tell me the name or website of the company. Email is fine too … Of course, it would be best if you could give me a phone number.
This was his plan. He did not understand Japanese, and he did not know how to type Japanese. It would be best if he could get a phone number, and he could ask Richard to negotiate with the other party on his behalf. If he wanted to send an email, he would have to use Google, which was more troublesome.
Unexpectedly, Masanori Suzuhara said without hesitation, "No problem. It's very simple. My medical school has a cooperation with a biological equipment company that produces automatic dog washing machines. I can contact them on your behalf. "
Zhang Zian was overjoyed. It would be great if Masanori Suzuhara was willing to help. After all, she was from Japan and a medical school student. If she could establish a relationship with that company, she might even get a discount …
However, he still had to decline verbally. "Thank you so much, but is it too much trouble for you? How about this, I don't want money for this Beagle. Consider it a thank you gift from me. "
Lu Yi Yun was about to print the invoice and fill out the pet sale agreement, but she stopped when she heard this.
The netizens in the live broadcast room all knew what kind of person Zhang Zian was. Suddenly, there was a dense barrage of bullet comments!
"You're a miser? I may have met a fake stingy store manager! "
"Unaccountably solicitous — he's hiding evil intentions!"
"Hehe, if it wasn't for the Japanese girl, this miser wouldn't have done that!"
"Well said!"
Zhang Zian completely ignored these bullet comments. Anyway, he wouldn't lose anything.
"No! No! How can I do that! "Masanori Suzuhara declined. This matter might be very troublesome for Zhang Zian, but for her, it was just a small effort. She was just standing in the middle and helping the two parties contact each other.
Besides, she was very grateful that Zhang Zian left the only Beagle in the shop to her. This Beagle was very similar to Snoopy. People would believe it even if they were born in the same litter. When she saw that Small Money also wanted to buy this Beagle, she had already silently given up hope. However, Zhang Zian chose to sell it to her instead of leaving it to Small Money. She was already very grateful. How could she not pay for it?
Zhang Zian had a favor to ask from her, so they both declined. In the end, for the convenience of writing the invoice, Zhang Zian asked Lu Yi Yun to take a symbolic payment of one yuan and gave her the pet sale agreement. He also gave her the pet supplies that she had chosen.
Masanori Suzuhara repeatedly thanked him and promised that she would take good care of this Beagle. She also immediately got in touch with the seniors in the lab after returning to the international student dormitory.
