At first, Love Lovely Pets' salesperson gave Zhang Zian a very favorable price. Compared to the price of Pets' Home, each pet was a few hundred dollars cheaper. At that time, it was Zhang Zian's first time purchasing pets, and the quantity was pitifully small. It was not hard to imagine that a super customer like Stars Pet Chain Supermarket, who had bargaining power, would definitely enjoy a better discount.
His parents used to say that if they were not allowed to visit the breeding base, they should not buy pets no matter how cheap they were. So this was what they meant — there was something wrong with these pets. Zhang Zian pondered.
Now he knew the result, but he still did not know what caused it. Unless he went to Love Lovely Pets to see for himself, everything was just speculation.
After the driver counted the pets, the number was the same as the number on the shipping list. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you should go now. Don't wander around here. You're an eyesore."
Jealousy! He must be jealous of his handsomeness!
Zhang Zian did not want to waste too much time with this kind of trash, so he turned around and walked into the interior of Pets' Home.
He walked through several bungalows and two-story buildings, and then his eyes suddenly widened. He came to the core area — the breeding base. It was his third time here.
The owner of the breeding base, Sun Yinian, was arguing fiercely with a woman. He waved his arms to strengthen his momentum. In addition, there was an assistant standing on the side with a folder under his arm.
To be more precise, Sun Yinian was unilaterally agitated, and the woman opposite him was unmoved like a reef.
Near them, hundreds of small iron cages were lined up in several rows. Each cage contained a pet, mainly cats and dogs. It seemed that they had been selected to be sent to the truck at the entrance.
Sun Yinian's saliva flew everywhere. "Manager Qian! I can't accept the price you're offering! No matter what, it was still too low! I can't even recover my cost! "
Qian Fang was wearing a gray business suit. Her face was cold and sharp, giving people a very smart and capable feeling.
"Mr. Sun, this is not our first time dealing with each other." Qian Fang's tone was very calm. "You should understand that the price of goods fluctuates with the market. The current economic environment is not good, and housing prices are constantly rising. People have less and less money. If we want to sell pets, we have to lower the price, or else we won't be able to sell them. Stars Pet Chain Supermarket is such a big company. Each branch has a lot of employees to support, so we can only control the cost from all aspects. I hope you understand. "
"Bullsh * t!" Sun Yinian couldn't help but swear in front of them. "You guys agreed that the price would be based on this. Now you're changing your mind? You have a bunch of employees to support? I still have a big family to feed! "
"That was just a verbal agreement. Now that the situation has changed, we can't do anything about it," Qian Fang said.
"Bullshit! I think you guys just wanted to keep me in place. Now you want to get rid of me after I've outlived my usefulness? "Sun Yinian scolded." Do you guys have any conscience? Was there any integrity? His words were like farts, changing by the day! Oral agreement? At that time, I wanted to sign the agreement, but none of you were willing, so I didn't sign it! Now you're saying that a verbal agreement doesn't count? F * ck your grandma! "
Qian Fang took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva that sprayed on her face. She was still unmoved. "Boss Sun, please calm down. Being emotional won't solve any problems. We're all in the same industry, so let's be frank. Pets are living creatures, and every pet is unique, right? "
Sun Yinian sulked and didn't answer. Zhang Zian nodded and agreed with this sentence.
Qian Fang continued to say, "Since it's a living creature, the price is, of course, fluctuating. Two Persian cats, one with a slightly lower quality than the other, the price difference can be hundreds or thousands, right? "
Zhang Zian still nodded. This sentence was right.
The pricing of living creatures should be flexible and not set in stone.
If a restaurant priced Yuxiang shredded pork at 10 yuan, any customer ordering a serving of Yuxiang shredded pork should be 10 yuan. Even if the chef had Parkinson's disease, and his hand was always shaking, causing the portion of each plate to be different, it would still be 10 yuan per plate. It couldn't be 11 yuan for one plate and 9 yuan for another. If that happened, customers would definitely complain, and the Bureau of Commodity Prices would definitely find trouble with you.
But pets were different. Different ages, different conditions, and prices should be different. Pets that were perfect in all aspects should be marked with a sky-high price. It was worth the money, just like the winner of a beauty pageant.
It wasn't that Sun Yinian was stupid at the beginning, but it was really not easy to sign an agreement with a living creature. Each one was different from each other. How could this agreement be signed? It was impossible to unify the price.
Seeing that Sun Yinian had no objections, Qian Fang changed her tone and threw out her trump card. "When we first came, we told you: 'We will do this again in the future, and the price will not change.' This was our verbal agreement. But can you say that the current batch is exactly the same as the first batch? "
Sun Yinian's eyes widened, and he was tongue-tied.
"We will do this again in the future." The problem was this sentence. Pets did not pop out of the industrial assembly line, and it was impossible for every batch to be the same. Therefore, this sentence was a trap from the beginning.
Sun Yinian took the bait. Zhang Zian thought that if it were him, he might also take the bait.
Qian Fang said confidently, "Since Mr. Sun wants to talk about integrity, why don't you first ask yourself: Is this batch of pets exactly the same as the first batch? If the pets are different, we don't need to offer the same price, right? "
What this woman said could not be considered wrong, but it sounded extremely unpleasant.
Sun Yinian desperately wanted to grasp a life-saving straw, and said with a trembling voice, "Then why didn't you say anything about the previous batches? Why did you pay the money without hesitation? "
Qian Fang smiled. "Before, our sales pressure was relatively small, and we decided to be wronged, but … I will tell you a little secret in advance. Stars Pet Chain Supermarket is preparing to go public, so the head office requires that the accounts of each branch must be clear and beautiful, and there must be no deficit. Therefore, it is very difficult for us now. Please understand."
Zhang Zian scratched his head. This woman was really powerful. With a few words, she turned him into a victim, and Sun Yinian seemed to be the party who forced him to buy and sell. If he had to deal with this woman in the future, he must be doubly careful.
Sun Yinian fiercely stamped his feet. "Your going public has nothing to do with me! I won't get a dime of benefits! No matter what you say, I will not sell at this price! "
Qian Fang shook her head. "You can't say that. When we successfully go public and have sufficient funds, the price for suppliers like you will also rise. At present, it is only a temporary difficulty. Please try to overcome it, and let us get through it together. "
Flattery! Flattery again!
It was all a trick!
