Chapter 400: A Long Lineage

Thinker Novel Network

Qin Jing passed the second automatic sensor door, not interested in the decoration style of the store, and saw the seven Abyssinian cats playing at a glance. These seven cats are all older, much larger than the other three-month-old kittens in the store, and they have chocolate-colored smooth hair, which changes mysteriously like the finest silk under the light The unpredictable luster makes them look very eye-catching.

Ordinary customers may prefer younger kittens, which they think are cuter or more family-friendly, but Qin Pu is not an ordinary customer. She immediately saw the breeding potential of these cats—all of them are breeding cats of the right age, healthy and full of vitality .

Qin Jing owns a cattery, produces and sells her own cats, and has a lot of experience in breeding cats. Although it is winter, it does not affect the breeding of cats. Cats kept outdoors only have two estrus periods in spring and autumn every year, but cats kept indoors can be in estrus all year round as long as the temperature is suitable. That is to say, there is no need to wait until spring. If these seven cats start pairing immediately, depending on the number of female cats, there will be an army of Abyssinian cats within a few months.

Before she came, she had doubts about whether there were really Abyssinian cats in this shop and whether the appearance was above standard, but when she saw these seven cats, all her doubts disappeared. They played and frolicked in the store, showing excellent athletic ability, jumping here and there, and easily jumped up the display cabinet or cat climbing frame more than one meter high. Other cats could not keep up with their rhythm... except for one Black and white kitten outside.

The only thing that is unclear now is the pedigree of these cats?

Qin Jing silently calculated the assets she owns now, excluding the cash that can be used other than fixed assets. The price difference between pet-grade cats and breeding-grade cats is at least four or five times, and the price difference for this extremely rare Abyssinian cat may be even greater. She didn't know what kind of conditions the owner of this store would ask for. The best choice for her was to barter, the most primitive and fair...

Seeing that she didn't look like an ordinary customer, Zhang Zian didn't say a word after entering the store, but just scanned the pets in the store with sharp eyes, and couldn't help but look at her twice, the more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed, as if he had seen her somewhere ——It's definitely not for the purpose of striking up a conversation. As a senior single dog, he doesn't have the talent to strike up a conversation at all.

Just as he was thinking hard, he heard Fei Na say coldly: "This woman has been here before, I remember her smell."

Although Fina doesn't like traveling with her, she can tolerate it for the time being. After all, there are people in the group who are in distant countries like Tim and Lauren, and there will be no immediate threat to her small money. Although it didn't feel that this woman was from a distant country, it still decided to listen to her purpose before making a decision.

Zhang Zian suddenly remembered that she once came to the store in the early morning, walked around and then left. At that time, he suspected that she was a colleague, but what was she doing this time?

He cleared his throat and said, "Hello, we meet again."

Qin Jing: "...do you remember me?"

"Of course I remember, you came here once before." Zhang Zian sat on the recliner and didn't stand up to welcome him. "If I'm not mistaken, are you in the same company? Are you a cattery or a pet shop?"

Qin Jing's face was a little embarrassed, but it was good to be recognized, so as to save some mutual testing. She took out a business card from her pocket, walked over and handed it to him, smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Qin Jing, the owner of Jingjing Cattery."

Zhang Zian took the business card, looked at it casually, and saw that the Jingjing Cattery mainly deals with puppet cats and fold-eared cats, so he put it aside and gestured: "My name is Zhang Zian, and I'm the boss here, please feel free to sit."

Qin Jing was not surprised by the cold reception. After all, she was rude last time, and it was normal for Zhang Zian to feel angry. If it was her, she would not like to have colleagues come to her cattery to look around.

She first apologized: "I'm sorry,

Boss Zhang, it was my fault that I didn't show my identity when I came to your shop last time, please forgive me. "

"It's okay." Zhang Zian remained calm, "Then what's the matter with Boss Qin coming over this time?"

"I want to discuss cooperation with you." Qin Jing said bluntly.

"Oh? Tell me, how do you cooperate?" Zhang Zian became interested. Tim and Lauren have also talked about cooperation, and he has gained a lot, it is a win-win outcome, so if Qin Jing can really put forward constructive suggestions, he will consider them carefully.

"I'm very interested in the Abyssinian cats you have here, Boss Zhang. Could you please tell me about the pedigree of your cats? How many generations can you go back at most?"

As soon as Qin Jing asked this question, Zhang Zian knew that she was a professional, because this was a huge barrier in front of Abyssinian cat breeders.

He didn't answer directly, but took out a page from the breeding manual and handed it to her for her to read by herself. On this page, Cathy records the origin of each cat in detail.

Qin Jing only took one look, and immediately held her breath, her eyes were firmly attracted!

If she counted correctly, these seven... no, eight, and the lineage of these eight Abyssinian cats can be traced back as far as 15 generations! The shortest one can be traced back 10 generations!

Among all short-haired cats, CFA has the most stringent requirements for the breeding rights of Abyssinian cats, none of them!

CFA requires that the pedigree of Abyssinian cats must be able to trace back 8 generations, so that their breeding rights can be confirmed! In contrast, American short and British short only need 4 generations, and American short white gloves only need 3 generations.

For 8 generations, it takes 8 years to complete one litter a year, and 4 years to produce two litters a year... This really does not meet the requirements of domestic cattery and pet shops to make quick money. Only God knows what the market will be like after 4 years...

What is the concept of 15 generations? It's unbelievable!

The person who started breeding chocolate-colored Abyssinian cats 15 years ago, if not able to predict the future, then it is true feelings...

What surprised Qin Jing even more was that the pedigrees of these eight cats had not crossed within three generations. In other words, they were not close relatives. Male cats and female cats can be mated in any combination!

In addition, she also noticed another thing, that is, the pedigree chart in her hand is a photocopy, and the original is handwritten in English, revealing a vintage-like elegance, which means that these Abyssinian cats were imported from abroad of. Some parts of the photocopied version have Chinese annotations added, and the font is ugly so I won’t mention it. If you wipe it hard with your hand, you can still find that the ink is not dry...

She also couldn't figure out this point, unless some old cattery quit, otherwise who would transfer so many breeding cats in one go?

Qin Jing made up her mind to promote this cooperation at all costs.

She counted it several times and confirmed that there were only seven Abyssinian cats in the store, so where did the eighth cat in the pedigree go?

Forget it, let's not worry about that much. She put down the copy paper in her hand and said calmly: "I would like to ask Boss Zhang to transfer these Abyssinian cats to me—even if it is a few of them."

Zhang Zian couldn't help laughing. After a long time of trouble, you think I'm an idiot? Why should I transfer it to you?

Even if these cats are not Cathy's inheritance, he cannot easily give up the opportunity of exclusive sale.

Since Qin Jing came here, she was sure that she could persuade Zhang Zian. When she came last time, she found that Zhang Zian didn't have a puppet cat here, so she said, "Boss Zhang, don't laugh, I don't want you for nothing, I can exchange the puppet cat for you—who in Binhai City?" I don't know, my puppet cat..."

Before she finished boasting, she heard the golden cat on the cat climbing frame meow lazily, as if giving some kind of order, and then five two-color puppet cats came out from behind Zhang Zian's reclining chair. Obediently squatting on the ground and looking at her, his eyes are as blue as the sea.

Qin Jing: "..." Is it okay to swear?
