Chapter 1430 Money Offensive
The path of mad cow disease transmission is sick cows—bone powder ground from the viscera and bones of sick cows—cattle feed—originally healthy cows—humans.
Assuming there is some kind of dog food that causes problems, the similar transmission route should be sick dog-some part of the dead dog's carcass-dog food-another healthy dog.
In Western developed countries, the way of transmission ends here.
But in some other countries, the transmission pathway has not stopped here.
The vast majority of Chinese people do not eat dog meat, but it is not ruled out that a few people like to eat it.
Stray dogs are not necessarily stray dogs from birth. They may have had owners who cared for them, but they were abandoned by their owners for some reason and became stray dogs. Before being abandoned, they may also enjoy the dog food fed by the owner every day. It may be the domestic dog food that Zhang Zian feeds stray dogs every day, or it may be the kind that he Qi Tong promotes. Any kind of dog food is possible.
Of course, this guess only flashed in Zhang Zian's mind vaguely, because he had been to the waste collection station, and he had seen the dirty environment there with his own eyes. There were flies, mosquitoes, mice, cockroaches, fleas, arthropods everywhere... …In that environment, no matter what kind of strange disease you contract, it is not surprising.
There was news before, saying that a high-tech confidential unit had a car accident or made a mistake when transporting a batch of sealed barrels containing radioactive elements. In short, several sealed barrels were lost, and then they were regarded as rare things by a few villagers. When they picked them up, they had no common sense, even had no schooling, and they didn’t know the bright warning colors of the sealed barrels and the warning signs of radioactive elements. They thought that there was something good in the barrels, so they smashed the barrels open when they got home, causing the whole family to die. Young and old contracted strange diseases and died.
The people at the waste collection station are also uneducated, and it may also be a strange disease caused by similar reasons or other reasons. Because I saw a dog food with an ambiguous ingredient list, I suspected dog food and dog meat. Speaking of it would make people laugh out loud, and it is not in line with the scientific spirit. It is better to let the doctors of the CDC make a professional diagnosis. Bar.
Even so, Zhang Zian didn't want to accept the dog food with ambiguous ingredients list. If there was any problem, it would affect the reputation of the store, and he was very disgusted with Qi Tong's behavior of buying a competitor's insider to poach corners.
Seeing Zhang Zian's refusal, Qi Tong did not give up, because he knew that the store bought too much dog food, and he didn't care what the dog food was used for, but he must not miss such a big deal.
"Brother, don't refuse in a hurry, you should at least listen to the price before deciding!" Qi Tong pushed the dog food back again.
"Okay, what's the price?"
People greeted with smiles,
Zhang Zian didn't want to forcefully reject people thousands of miles away, so he asked as a matter of routine.
He didn't have any expectations for the price. After all, this is imported dog food, and it can't be cheaper than domestic dog food anyway.
"Like this bag is 2.5 pounds, almost 1 kilogram, and the suggested retail price is 69.99 yuan." Qi Tong said.
Zhang Zian frowned. This price is very cheap for imported dog food. It is only about 10 US dollars including tariffs, so it should be cheaper in the United States... But it’s hard to say, it may be in order to seize the market. In the initial stage of the price war, if you encounter customers who are not very rich in budget but want to buy imported dog food, it should be easy to sell.
But this is still far beyond his budget, because most of his dog food is fed to stray dogs, and the price is still too expensive compared to domestic dog food.
"Forget it... I'll use domestic dog food..." He refused again.
"Don't worry, the suggested retail price is 69.99 yuan, but if you buy from me, I will give you a very favorable purchase price - 50 yuan." Qi Tong extended a slap.
"That's still expensive." Zhang Zian shook his head, 1 kg of 50 yuan dog food, stray dogs can eat him bankrupt in a day.
Qi Tong glanced back at the shop assistants, seeing that they were all busy with their own affairs, far away from him and Zhang Zian, so he lowered his voice and said, "The purchase price is 50 yuan, as long as you agree to buy from me, every sale For a bag of dog food, how about I give you a personal rebate of 10 yuan? If you purchase a large quantity, the price can be negotiated!"
"What?"
Zhang Zian was shocked, what was the cost of this dog food, and such a large rebate ratio was actually given!
Qi Tong thought he didn't hear clearly, so he said it again.
Zhang Zian finally understood that it was Qi Tong who had misunderstood him and mistook him for the store manager, because that's what Lu Yiyun called him.
Generally speaking, the store manager and the owner of a small street store are not necessarily the same person. The owner may own more than one store, or may not know how to operate it, so he hires a knowledgeable person as the store manager, just as the owner and general manager of a company are often not the same person. The same person - the former is responsible for making money, and the latter is a professional responsible for making money with money.
If Zhang Zian was just the store manager and received salary and bonuses from the boss every month, then he would ask himself, it would be hard to refuse such a big temptation, as long as he sells a bag of dog food, there will be a rebate of 10 yuan. Recommending this dog food is a lot of money in a month, and the boss doesn't know it.
Similar examples, just like in the past, medical representatives provided huge drug rebates to doctors who had the right to prescribe in hospitals, so that doctors would prescribe drugs with high rebates to patients for their own benefit, regardless of whether patients really need. The price of the drug itself is very expensive, and it will be a huge profit in a month.
However, he is the store manager and the boss at the same time, but Lu Yiyun is used to calling him the store manager.
What's the point of him asking for a kickback? Anyway, it's all my own money, so it's better to just change the purchase price to 40 yuan.
But for those pet shops where the manager and the owner are not the same person, I am afraid that the manager will easily fall under the high kickbacks, cheating others, filling their own pockets, anyway, it is not doing something harmful, It's just selling a dog food, compared to a black-hearted doctor, it's already very conscientious, okay?
In order to prevent the clerks from noticing something strange, the store manager can even partner with the clerks, get a 10 yuan rebate for each bag sold, and then generously distribute two or three yuan to the clerks...
The more Zhang Zian thought about it, the more he felt chills down his spine. With such a crazy money offensive and marketing efforts, it was only a matter of time before this American dog food swept the national market!
If the dog food itself is high-quality and cheap, it’s a win-win situation, but it’s hard to imagine the quality of the dog food when the cost is compressed so hard.
If it's just a quality problem, such as a false label of nutritional content, it's okay to say that if the dog food itself has more serious safety hazards, the consequences will be unimaginable...
