Sun Xiaomeng didn't intend to eavesdrop, but when she heard the words "Love Lovely Pet," she became alert. It was unfair to say that Love Lovely Pet was the main competitor of Pets' Home, because it was much larger than Pets' Home, and didn't care about Pets' Home at all.
One of the main reasons for Pets' Home's poor business was Love Lovely Pet's low prices. For pets of similar quality, Love Lovely Pet's prices were more than 20% cheaper than Pets' Home, and on this basis, they could negotiate the prices and squeeze the living space of other pet breeding bases.
Sun Xiaomeng had always wondered how Love Lovely Pet could keep its prices so low. After deducting the cost, manpower, and resources, there was no profit at all.
Hearing the conversation between Sheng Ke and Zhang Zian, her attention was firmly attracted. After hesitating for a while, she mustered up the courage to talk to them.
Sheng Ke was a bit confused as to why a licensed veterinarian would be so interested in a pet breeding base, but since she was Zhang Zian's friend, there was no need to keep it a secret, so he briefly told her what had happened.
"You mean, Love Lovely Pet killed a customer's dog?" she asked with a frown.
Sheng Ke couldn't answer this question, because the rich woman who reported the case kept throwing a tantrum, and the naughty child she brought with her was also crying. She didn't describe the details.
Zhang Zian told her what had happened that day. The rich lady and her child had dislocated the Teacup Puppy's hind leg. In order to get more business, Zhang Wanguo promised that he could fix the dislocated joint. The rich lady believed him and brought the Teacup Puppy to find him.
"This is obviously unlicensed medical practice!" Sun Xiaomeng said firmly. "I don't believe that a salesman has a medical license."
"But this is his personal behavior," Zhang Zian pointed out. "It has nothing to do with Love Lovely Pet."
He guessed what Sun Xiaomeng wanted to do. She wanted to take the opportunity to find out Love Lovely Pet's weakness. Even if she couldn't bring them down, she could at least put a stop to their arrogance. Otherwise, other pet breeding bases, including Pets' Home, would have to close down.
This was not only related to Sun Xiaomeng and her family's business, but also closely related to Zhang Zian. If Love Lovely Pet was allowed to dominate the local market, it would definitely use its monopoly position to raise prices and reap huge profits. After all, they were not doing charity, so they could do whatever they wanted after defeating others with a price war.
"That's right," Sheng Ke agreed. Sheng Ke agreed. "If the salesperson's personal behavior is inappropriate, the most Love Lovely Pet can do is fire him. You can't use this as evidence against him."
"Captain Sheng, how can I help you with this matter?" Zhang Zian asked straightforwardly. He could only decide what to do and how to do it after knowing Sheng Ke's attitude.
This would not only help Sheng Ke, but also help Sun Xiaomeng and even himself, so he didn't intend to stay out of it. If there really was something fishy going on in Love Lovely Pet's never-before-seen breeding farm, his parents would definitely agree with his decision. If the chaos in the pet industry continued to develop, it would eventually harm everyone's interests.
Sheng Ke quickly glanced around to make sure that there were no unrelated people present. He said, "We, the police, and the industrial and consumer associations, basically know nothing about pets. Even if they do something illegal in front of us, we won't be able to tell … So I want to ask you …" Speaking up to this point, he glanced at Sun Xiaomeng. Taking her feelings into consideration, he said, "I want to ask for your help to find evidence of Love Lovely Pets breaking the law. If there really is a crime, then we can file a case."
His tone changed as he said, "If there isn't, or if we can't find it, we can at least give the informant an explanation. The woman claimed that she spent twenty to thirty thousand yuan on the Teacup Puppy and that it died a day after she bought it. She insisted that we file a case of fraud. "
"I understand." Zhang Zian let out a long sigh. "Let me think."
Finding evidence was easier said than done. Love Lovely Pets Breeding Base was not a dog market that could be entered and exited at will. Their breeding base was never open to the public, so how could they find evidence? He couldn't possibly go to the door to ask, right?
Sun Xiaomeng bit her lower lip, frowning as she pondered. Love Lovely Pets was able to expand to such a large scale, so even if there was evidence of illegal operations, it must have been well hidden. Perhaps only the core personnel knew about it, and these people would never leak it to the public.
Sheng Ke knew that this was a tricky matter. The police didn't know much about pets. Even if they had a search warrant, there was a high chance that they wouldn't be able to find anything.
Zhang Zian always had a lot of ideas. He had helped Sheng Ke solve the bizarre watch theft case in the office building, and he had also solved the Dog Warrior film crew's tobacco cake poisoning case. Sheng Ke had high expectations of him.
As for Sun Xiaomeng, she also knew that Zhang Zian had a very broad understanding of pets and was very active. He had helped her client solve the dog-trapping case during the New Year's Day. If there was anyone who could find a way to deal with Love Lovely Pets, it would be him.
If Love Lovely Pets was brought down, her father's breeding base would usher in a turnaround, and the local pet breeding industry would return to healthy competition instead of an unscrupulous price war. A price war was a double-edged sword. It hurt both the customers and themselves.
Zhang Zian felt four pairs of eyes on him. The heavy expectations were also great pressure, but at the same time, he really couldn't think of a good solution.
After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said, "Captain Sheng, give me some time to think about it."
"Well, this has nothing to do with you or the police. It's just my personal request. If you really can't think of a solution, don't force yourself." Sheng Ke was a little disappointed. He stood up from the chair and put on his hat again.
By "don't force yourself", he meant that Zhang Zian's investigation shouldn't be out of line, and he shouldn't violate the law for the sake of investigation.
Zhang Zian also understood. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. If I think of a solution, I will call you."
Sheng Ke was busy, so Zhang Zian couldn't keep him, so he walked him out.
"Say hello to your friends in the police dog unit for me." Zhang Zian reminded him again, "When Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang come back from their mission, they are also welcome to bring Red Dragon and Prince over to play. I will treat them to dinner."
Sheng Ke smiled and said, "Okay, no problem. I'm too busy right now. Let's wait until after the New Year. But it should be us who treat you. We still owe you a meal. If it wasn't for you, there might be more police dogs injured … Okay, I'm leaving. See you later. Call me if you need anything!"
"Captain Sheng, be careful on the road."
Zhang Zian watched him leave and returned to the pet shop.
