As the owner of the breeding base, Sun Yinian could roughly estimate the sales from the frequency of each pet store's stock. Using a normal pet store as a reference, it would take about a month to sell ten expensive cats and dogs, which was the average level. Therefore, he didn't believe that Zhang Zian would really buy so many pets at once.
Everyone present was an industry insider. Sun Yinian didn't believe it, and Qian Fang didn't believe it either.
She said seriously, "Mr. Zhang, you really know how to joke. Do you know how many pets there are?"
She was going to load the pets in the cages into the truck, along with the pets from Love Lovely Pets.
Zhang Zian glanced at them and said uncertainly, "About 80."
Qian Fang stopped smiling and pointed a finger at him. "To be exact, 83! 83 pets. Mr. Zhang, are you going to eat them all? "
Zhang Zian didn't answer right away. He walked to the cages and squatted down to take a look.
Unlike the pets in the truck, the pets in the cages all gathered around the cages and begged for food when they saw someone approaching. Even if some pets were cold or timid, they didn't have no reaction at all, and they didn't hide in the corner of the cages out of fear. He moved his hand to the side of the cages. Some of the lively pets immediately stuck their noses out of the cages and sniffed around. Some pets even meowed to please him.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't have decided to eat so many pets at once. But if he didn't do this, all of these pets would be eaten by Stars Pet Chain Supermarket, and then there would be no pets for sale in his shop.
Pets didn't come out of the industrial assembly line. Young beasts under three months old couldn't be bought.
He had been here twice and roughly understood the breeding cycle here. If he lost this batch of pets, the next batch would have to wait at least three weeks before they could leave their mothers and complete their vaccinations. What was he going to sell in these three weeks? Close the shop and go on vacation? No matter what, he wouldn't choose the cheap pets provided by Love Lovely Pets.
Zhang Zian noticed that most of the selected pets were cats and dogs. There were 50% more cats than dogs, which was very in line with the sales ratio of the pet market. Stars Pet Chain Supermarket had been selling pets for many years, so they had very detailed sales data and customer buying trends. They knew which pets sold well and which ones didn't, so they weren't buying blindly.
Against such a powerful opponent, it would definitely be a very difficult battle.
However, he could not back down. Otherwise, the capital and reputation that he had painstakingly accumulated would go up in smoke.
He said, "Among these pets, I want all the cats, and I want most of the dogs."
Once Zhang Zian made up his mind, he didn't give Qian Fang any time to react. He immediately said to Sun Yinian, "Boss Sun, I will pay half of it in full, and I will pay a deposit for the other half. Is that okay? As for the unit price, we'll follow the previous standard and increase it by 10% depending on the quality. What do you think? "
For those who knew about the eye, no one could fool the other on the matter of appearance. Some of the details might be disputed, but in general, both sides knew what was going on.
Sun Yinian was so shocked by this unexpected development that he couldn't speak.
Qian Fang said, "Boss Zhang, what do you mean?"
Zhang Zian smiled. "In a market economy, you can bid freely and compete freely. You haven't reached a deal yet, so why can't I bid? Mr. Sun, can I bid? "
Sun Yinian finally came back to his senses, "Sure! Of course, you can! "
Of course, Qian Fang could choose to follow the price, or even lower Zhang Zian's bid, but this had completely disrupted her plan. At the beginning of this month, when she reported to the regional manager, she made a military order. In order to respond to the decision of the head office to prepare for the listing, she had to reduce the purchase cost by at least 10%. If she followed the price, although the purchase cost could still be reduced, it would certainly not reach the target of 10%. This would leave a bad impression on the regional manager and affect her future promotion.
There was another way, which was not to follow the price. It would take a long time for an ordinary pet shop to digest such a large number of pets. Although this would lose a batch of high-quality goods, at least it could make Sun Yinian know the consequences of going against Stars Pet Chain Supermarket.
Although her means were not bright, from the perspective of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket, she was definitely a talent who could save money for the boss, so she could be in a high position.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, nodded and said, "Zhang Zian from the Amazing Fate Pet Shop, right? Okay, I will remember you. "
Then she said to her assistant, "Let's go!"
After they left, Sun Yinian carefully observed Zhang Zian's face, and hesitantly asked, "Store Manager Zhang, just now, you were not joking, were you?"
Zhang Zian waved his hand, "Don't be so polite, just call me Zhang Zian or Zian. Of course, I am serious, and you don't have to thank me. I am not going to stand up for you, I am here today to purchase. "
Sun Yinian rubbed his hands and kept whispering, "Great … but …" He paused, "but the last batch of seven, have you sold them all?"
Zhang Zian nodded, "Yes, so I am here to purchase new ones. Mr. Sun, can I make a suggestion? "
"Go ahead, go ahead," Sun Yinian hurriedly replied.
Zhang Zian suggested in a euphemistic way, "Mr. Sun, from my perspective, your breeding farm is a bit too demanding."
"Uh? What do you mean? "Sun Yinian did not understand.
Zhang Zian said, "Cats and dogs account for 90% of the pet market share, and the number of cats is twice that of dogs. In other words, cats account for 60% of the market share, dogs account for 30%, and the rest of the pets can only be classified as' others. '"
He pointed to the chinchillas and rabbits in the cages, "These are the 'others.'"
Zhang Zian continued, "Instead of breeding these 'other' pets with very low profits, it is better to focus energy and resources on cats and dogs, introduce more breeds, introduce more breeds, and introduce more breeds to avoid bloodline solidification and inbreeding. In this era of fierce competition, as a small enterprise like ours, there is no need to be too demanding. It is better to be more specialized. Survive first, and then think about development later. "
In his opinion, the biggest shortcoming of this breeding farm was that there were a lot of cats, but they were not specialized. There were no new high-priced cat breeds such as Ragdolls.
He did not say much, and stopped there. Middle-aged people like Sun Yinian were often more rigid in their thinking, and it was not easy to convince them. Let him think about it, maybe he could figure it out, maybe he could not.
"Okay, let's not talk about things that are too far away. Let's talk about our business first. I remember last time, Mr. Sun, you said that if you buy more than ten at a time, there will be free delivery, right? " Zhang Zian laughed, "This time, don't give me any hamsters or lop-eared rabbits. I really can't take care of them all. You might as well give me a few dollars off!"
