Chapter 716: All Roads Lead to Rome

Zhang Zian pondered for a while, more than 90% of the profit in his store came from the sales of cats and dogs, if he couldn't sell cats and dogs, he really had no choice but to close the door. -79 Novels-

After all, the national conditions of Germany and China are different, and policies and laws are not comparable. Germany is a country that can live well even on subsistence allowances, while China still has at least tens of millions of people living on soil. If the country spends the funds and energy that should improve the national economy and people's livelihood to protect pets, it may not be the case. Smart move.

However, he has developed a greater interest. What is the reason for the pet store to develop into such a large scale without selling cats and dogs?

Reina replied: "Of course it is by selling pet supplies, accessories and feed. We attract customers with novelty pets, but it is these things that customers spend the most money on."

"You may not know that China's online shopping is super developed. Most people buy these things from the Internet. It is easy to shop around and choose the cheapest one... To tell you the truth, apart from imported cat food, my store sells the most Other than good, the sales of other pet products are mediocre, and the profit is also very low." Zhang Zian complained.

After the Aimengpet incident, the sales of common cats and dogs in Binhai City plummeted. Many people who originally planned to buy pets were on the sidelines, trying to buy these pets that escaped from Aimengpet at a low price from other people.

The situation in Zhang Zian's shop is not optimistic either. Except for a few cats such as Abyssinian cats, Ragdoll cats, and Sisson cats who have been inquired about, the other cats and dogs are less interested. Cats are better. At least they can dance. Willing to sell at a lower price to compete with those free cats who escaped from Ai Meng Pet.

I don't know how long this situation will last. He is eager to find a new direction of development. It would be great if he could get inspiration from Reina.

"That's it..." Reina thought for a moment, "Then I suggest to start from two aspects, one is to sell those large pet products that are not easy to buy online, such as fish tanks and aquariums; the other is to introduce more novel and high-priced pets. , run your store as a zoo, and use these novelty pets to attract customers, as long as there are many people, there will always be people who will pay for other things.”

This is her experience, and so is her shop.

Zhang Zian followed her up to the second floor.

He had already seen monkeys on the first floor, and the second floor almost made his jaw drop!

The temperature on the second floor is much higher than that on the first floor, and it looks like a subtropical jungle. There are all kinds of rare pets kept in different categories... In fact, many of them are not pets in the conventional sense.

The creepy tarantula moves its furry limbs alternately, and its numerous compound eyes stare maliciously at a precious emperor Amazon parrot across the cage.

The ugly, wrinkled Philippine spotted sail lizard perches on a shriveled tree trunk, eyeing passing customers with unfeeling black eyes.

The thick and long golden python lazily spat out the letter, identifying the odor molecules in the air, and coiled into a ball on the rock.

A pair of huge glazed macaws cling to each other to show their love.

The raccoon with a pair of dark circles holds the walnuts in its paws and puts them into its mouth, crunching and gnawing.

Armadillo with strange appearance and scales and armor is very big but timid. As if frightened, it curls up its body and protects its soft abdomen with hard bone scales.

Families of ferrets cuddle together, draping their bodies on top of each other, and sleep lovingly.

The sloth, with claws as sharp as steel hooks, half-opened its sleepy eyes, hugged the tree trunk, and peeped from the leaves.

Lena put the small and exquisite thumb monkey on her finger, and it hugged her index finger like an elephant's 'leg', looking around curiously.

...

There is also a zoo in Binhai City, but that zoo is small and dilapidated, and there are only a few tigers and monkeys in it. It is incomparable to the Capital Zoo, and it is not even as good as the animals in this pet shop. Strange and eye-opening.

There are more customers on the second floor than on the first floor, and there is even a coffee shop in the corner. Several customers sit on chairs, order a cup of fragrant coffee, and then a plate of delicate snacks, or beer. Serve hot and sour curry sausages, and enjoy watching these strange animals while eating and drinking comfortably.

It seems that there are also customers traveling with the whole family, a man and a 'female' with a pair of twin sons, as the father is eloquently explaining the types of animals to the children, it is a science trip close to nature, and you don't even need to leave the city of Berlin .

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zian understood where the profit of this pet company came from.

"Did you see? Although my store doesn't sell cats and dogs, the profits of other pets are not low at all. Adding in the sales of pet supplies and peripherals, it is enough to maintain the business." Reina said proudly.

"It's really 'great'." Zhang Zian admired sincerely, "I never thought that a pet store could be run like this, it just refreshed my understanding."

"So, are these helpful to you? My dear Chinese colleagues." Reina was very happy when she heard that.

Zhang Zian sighed softly, "Unfortunately, I can't do like you."

"Why?" She asked suspiciously, and comforted: "Is it because of insufficient funds? Don't worry, these pets in my store were not collected in a day, just take your time."

"No, it's not because of this." Zhang Zian shook his head, "Although funds are also an important reason, the key is... many rare pets in your store are not allowed to be sold in China, at least not allowed to be sold publicly. For example, these 'flowers' and 'flowers' green parrots, and those monkeys."

This is the problem. China and Germany have different policies on pet sales. If he dares to sell these wild animals included in the international treaty list in China, his shop will be reported the next day, and then he will be closed down by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. ...

He told Reina about the difficulties he was facing.

"That's right...it's really difficult..." Reina suddenly realized.

Zhang Zian echoed regretfully: "There is no way, the national conditions are different."

Reina thought for a while, then waved her hand and said, "Jeff, don't jump to conclusions. I understand your difficulties, but all roads lead to Rome, and there are ways to bypass state control."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Zhang Zian was skeptical and listened carefully.

Reina raised her hand and pointed to the aquarium in another area on the second floor.

"Jeff, you have to know that most of the animals included in the list of international conventions are animals on land, and thousands of new marine creatures are discovered every year. These newly discovered marine creatures are too late to be included in various lists. Of course it's not a protected animal...you know what I mean?"
