Early morning, Spirit Curing Pet Clinic.
Sun Xiaomeng had an emergency last night, so she didn't go back to her home in the breeding base. Instead, she slept in the clinic. She put a bunk in the clinic's locker room for resting. She slept on the lower bunk, and the upper bunk was used to store sundries to save space. She was the only one in the clinic, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
In the beginning, the clinic was deserted, but gradually, it became busy. Sun Xiaomeng felt a little overwhelmed. Maybe it was time to hire a nurse to help, but that would be an extra expense of her salary … Now, in order to save money, she did the daily cleaning of the clinic by herself. Her practice hours were from 9 am to 7 pm, but there were usually no customers in the morning, and she often finished around 9 pm at night. That was because people often found their pets were not in good condition after they got home from work, and they rushed to the clinic to see the doctor. She couldn't turn down her business.
Considering that she might often sleep in the clinic in the future, she planned to go home in the morning and bring some clothes over. The weather was getting colder, and it was time to change seasons.
She pulled up the shutter door and was surprised to see Zhang Zian pacing in front of the clinic while eating a steamed bun.
"Why are you here?" she asked in surprise.
"Didn't we make a bet? I admit defeat. I'm here to be your cleaner today," Zhang Zian said vaguely as he stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth.
"Isn't the time for the bet not up yet? Why are you giving up so early? "Although it was expected, she still felt a little disappointed and regretful.
"It doesn't matter if I give up early or later. Let's not talk about this first. I have something to discuss with you today. "
"What is it? I don't want to borrow money, "she said decisively.
Zhang Zian almost choked on the steamed bun, "Who said I want to borrow money … But it is about money."
"Come in and talk." She sighed softly and moved aside to let him in.
It was Zhang Zian's first time to visit her clinic, and he couldn't help but look around.
The clinic was very small. On the left side was an auto parts store, and on the right side was a decoration company. None of them were open for business. There was an eye-catching notice on the glass of the store: Pet Vaccine Injection Unit.
Small as it was, it had all the essentials. The interior of the clinic was divided into several areas. Upon entering the clinic, there was a waiting area with a few chairs for guests to rest. There were also some magazines such as Pet World that could be read at will. A regular price list was hung on the left wall, and the Animal Treatment Permit and the Industrial and Commercial Business License were hung on the opposite wall.
Further inside was a treatment room, which was also Sun Xiaomeng's office. On the wall was a copy of her veterinarian qualification certificate.
Further into the treatment room, he could vaguely see a stainless steel operating table and a small shadowless lamp. That should be the operating room.
It could be said that although the clinic was small, it was very formal.
"So, what exactly is it?" Sun Xiaomeng asked.
"It's like this." Zhang Zian retracted his gaze. "I plan to create a membership system in the near future. I wanted to ask if you are interested. If you buy two sets at the same time, there should be a discount."
"Huh?" She didn't understand.
"I've thought about it. There are benefits to being a member. Once a customer pays in here, whenever their pet is sick or needs a physical examination, they will definitely choose your shop first. You can give customers with membership cards a discount of 5% or 10%. It should be quite attractive, "he explained.
Zhang Zian's serious look made her very uncomfortable. She suspected that she had met a fake Zhang Zian. After a while, she said, "I know the benefits of a membership system. Large pet hospitals do it, but is it necessary for my small clinic? The cost should be quite high, right? And I need people to operate it. "
"There must be costs. That's why I'm here — we can share the costs and risks together." Zhang Zian said, "I have a preliminary idea. Customers with your clinic's membership card can enjoy a 5% discount when they come to my shop to buy things or to bathe cats. Customers with my shop's membership card can also enjoy a 5% discount when they go to your shop for vaccinations, physical examinations, or medical treatments. 5% is just an example. The specific number can be discussed, but I think it should not be lower than this number, otherwise it will be meaningless."
This was a very bold proposal. Once this proposal was accepted, the Amazing Fate Pet Shop and the Spirit Curing Pet Clinic would become allies or partners, and the two of them would also become business partners from pure friends.
When doing business, one had to consider whether the deal was worthwhile and whether it would bring benefits to one's shop. Therefore, Sun Xiaomeng lowered her head and thought carefully.
The essence of Zhang Zian's proposal was to combine the customer flow of the two shops into one. Both shops were related to pets, which was the basis of the cooperation. A natural advantage of their cooperation was that their two shops were very close to each other, located at the north and south of Zhonghua Road respectively. There were only a few hundred meters between them, and they could easily reach each other by walking.
After a little analysis, Sun Xiaomeng felt that this proposal was very disadvantageous to her, because in terms of customer flow, her clinic definitely had the advantage.
The premise of cooperation was that both parties had equal strength, so that they could play a complementary role.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Give me some time to think about it. It's hard to make a decision in a hurry."
Zhang Zian showed that he understood. This was not as simple as simply adding a computer, but also hiring extra staff, which was equivalent to an extra burden of salary. She couldn't handle all of this alone.
"Let me know when you have made up your mind. I have an appointment with someone to visit their membership card system in the next two days. If I think it is useful, I may make a decision, so it's better not to drag it out too long," he said.
Sun Xiaomeng looked at him suspiciously. Could selling pets and bathing cats attract customers to sign up for membership cards?
"Nothing else?" she asked.
He shrugged, "Also, I will be your cleaner for once. I lost the bet. Where are the work clothes, gloves, and disinfectant? "
She shook her head, "No, I was just joking."
"No, a man should keep his word," Zhang Zian insisted.
In fact, he wanted to take advantage of the cleaning opportunity to visit the inside of her clinic, which was also considered for the cooperation. Just like she questioned his ability, he also had to check whether her clinic was legal or not.
Seeing that she couldn't change his mind, she had to say, "Then come with me."
He followed her inside, through the consulting room and the operating room, and arrived at the back of the changing room. As soon as he entered the changing room, there was a pair of sinks, which were used to wash hands before the operation. One wall was completely occupied by a row of changing cabinets, and opposite it was a bunk bed. The quilt on the lower bunk had not been folded, and women's coats were scattered on the upper bunk.
Sun Xiaomeng opened the closest changing cabinet, which was filled with all kinds of cleaning tools and disinfectant.
"You really want to do it?" she asked to confirm.
He nodded, and put on gloves and a mask.
"Well, I will go home on the way. I am warning you, don't go rummaging around when I am not here! I have surveillance cameras here! "
Zhang Zian was speechless. Am I so untrustworthy?
