Chapter 346
It is undeniable that Ragdoll cat is the most popular cat species on the market in recent years. Due to the strict control of the right to breed, artificially set a high market entry threshold, Ragdoll cat is always in a state of short supply and a proper seller market.
Ragdoll cat started 2 in the country, slightly better than 3, and the same price can basically buy two similar Ragdoll cats abroad – the degree of popularity can be seen.
Lauren is also aware of this because she is usually responsible for communication with customers. About 40% of the customers who apply for the purchase of Ragdoll cat are buyers from China, and 20% are living in the United States. International students, who claim to be raised by themselves, are actually buying for others to earn the difference. For those Chinese customers who are very sincere, she will explain the situation and refuse. If the attitude is blunt or the grammar is wrong, she will simply ignore it.
Through her understanding of customers and her understanding of her peers, she knows why Chinese customers are keen to buy Ragdoll cat from American cat houses across the country. The reason is that the profits are too high, which leads to a chaotic market in China’s domestic Ragdoll cat. The phenomenon is so horrible. The price of Ragdoll cat in the United States is relatively cheap, and the quality and pedigree are guaranteed. Even if the shipping and purchasing fees are included, it is much more cost-effective than buying in China.
Zhang Zi An was very interested in Ragdoll cat very early. Even before his parents died, he had heard them mention his name. He was a peer-to-peer family, but all the cat houses with Ragdoll cat were strictly guarded against their own cats. I am afraid of the outflow.
Through the photos, he recognized at a glance that this is the best Ragdoll cat. There is no 3 10,000 yuan in the country, and it may not be possible to queue for one year. If you want to get it as soon as possible, you can only add money. It is similar to buying a luxury car imported from abroad.
He looked through the photos one by one, each page was a different cat, big and small, and the cat who won the championship in the patrol, with a sling on his body, looks full of enthusiasm. The most impressive are their eyes, different shades of blue, each pair of eyes are crystal clear and touching, no wonder the name of this cattery is “blue peak”.
At the end of the folder, there is a clear and complete pedigree certificate, as well as infectious diseases such as cat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), polycystic kidney disease (PKD), feline AIDS (FIV), feline leukemia (FeLV), and genetic diseases. The diagnostic report, all in English, is very formal, even though Zhang Zi An can hardly understand a single technical term…
After reading it, he closed the folder, handed it back to Lauren, and gave a thumbs up. Richard said with a match: “Awesome cat!”
Lauren and Tim have enough confidence in their cats, and they laughed and said: “If that’s the case, can we talk about cooperation?”
Richard cautiously asked: “What do you mean?”
Before the couple came together, they made two preparations: First, the owner was willing to share the secrets of the taming cat with them. If this is the case, they will bite their teeth no matter how much they pay; if the owner is not willing to share, then they It can only be relegated to the next.
Lauren said with a heart and openness: “We want to ask you to train our cats for us, and to teach our cats to dance. In exchange, we will offer you Ragdoll cat for free – only one condition, exclusivity, can no longer be Other cat houses have reached a similar agreement. This is a win-win deal, I hope you can consider it carefully.”
Such a big thing, Richard did not dare to specialize, it said: “Sorry, I left slightly, please feel free to ask.”
Zhang Zi An will take it and take it back to the second floor.
Richard told him the original conversation.
He thought for a moment, the conclusion is – this can be!
As Lauren said, this is a proposal that has nothing to do with him, and both sides can get what they want. The blue peak is to sell cats in the United States. The singular pet shop sells cats in China. It is separated from the Pacific Ocean by the Pacific Ocean. No one can hinder anyone. It perfectly fits the ancestral training of the “outreach and near attack” left by the ancestors.
In this transaction, the blue peak seems to suffer a little, but the price of Ragdoll cat that can dance can be multiplied several times. Anyway, the US emperor has more money and no one buys it.
Zhang Zi An confessed to Richard a few notes and took it back to the first floor.
Lauren and Tim squeezed their fists nervously, waiting for his reply.
“In principle, I agree with your proposal.” Richard Zi Zhang said, without waiting for them to cheer, immediately added: “But the exclusivity conditions have to be revised – I can only promise not to be with the rest of the United States. The cattery reached a similar agreement, and you don’t have the right to interfere in the cat house in other countries.”
Lauren and Tim slightly hesitated and nodded.
Richard continued: “There are two other points. One is that the cat’s shipping costs are borne by you. The second is… you have to ship some high-quality cat food regularly. This fee is paid by me. Do you agree?”
Zhang Zi An is wondering where to get the channel to import cat food, which is exactly the same.
These two points are not a problem for the Keller couple. Since there are several Ragdoll cats to be shipped at one time, the freight is not much distributed on each cat, and the blue peak has always cooperated with the cat food manufacturers. At that time, they will rent their champion cats to shoot advertisements, and they can get genuine cat food from the manufacturers at a low price.
The general principle is fixed, and the rest is to discuss some details. For example, Lauren asked Zhang Zi An to pay attention to the review of Ragdoll cat purchaser qualifications, and cannot sell their cats to customers with poor or unstable living conditions. Zi An also agreed. By the way, he also used the mobile phone to take a report on the infectious diseases and genetic diseases they provided, and sent them to Sun Xiaomeng. Ask her to help identify whether there are any problems and whether they are forged.
As the details reached consensus one by one, the atmosphere became easier, and there was no longer any scruples in talking to each other. Tim, who had not been very open, suddenly asked: “Jeff, how long do you use to train your cat?”
Lauren is also very concerned about this issue.
Richard vaguely replied: “It won’t take much time, just a few days.”
Lauren and Tim have been surprised to be numb, and it is only a few days to teach the kitten to dance…
“When did you come to the United States?” Tim asked again.
This English is very simple, Zhang Zi An understands, and Richard, at the same time, “Go to the United States?”
“Yeah, a lot of kittens are shipped over and shipped back. Taixing is moving, and frequent tossing is not good for cats. The temperature difference between Los Angeles and Binhai is too big, especially this season.” Lauren said I looked at the door with anxiety.
Although the little snow outside is not big, there are no signs of stopping at all, and they are all swaying and dyed the earth into silver.
Zhang Zi An admits that they have made sense. He transported a large number of kittens from the United States to the coastal city of the snow and ice. After learning to dance, he returned to the warm, spring-like Los Angeles. Repeated climate changes easily made the cat sick, but he I didn’t think of this layer before, only then I realized that I had to go to the United States to train my cat.
To be honest, he is not disgusted, and even has some itch. He has never been abroad since he was so big. He just took advantage of this opportunity to go to the United States for a few days, see the world and open his eyes.
“When do you think I will be better?” Richard asked.
Lauren and Tim replied in unison, replied in unison: “The sooner the better!”
“Why is it so urgent?” Richard must ask.
Lauren explained: “It’s Thanksgiving soon, then Christmas and New Year. There must be a lot of children looking forward to having a kitten that can only dance as a gift… if you need a long time to tamer That’s all, but since you can tame in just a few days, we hope that you can come to the United States as soon as possible, and then come every three months or so.”
Zhang Zi An thought about it, glanced at his shoulder and gestured to Richard.
Richard asked the question he had just prepared: “When did you send the agreed Ragdoll cat?”
The husband and wife replied without thinking: “After you arrive in the United States, as soon as the training is successful, we will arrange the transportation of Ragdoll cat and cat food immediately.”
Richard felt that there was nothing wrong with it. When Zhang Zi An had no objection, he replied for him: “It is fair, I promise you.”
Zhang Zi An stood up and shook hands with them. Richard said: “I hope to have a good cooperation.”
A stone in the heart of Lauren and Tim fell to the ground, and the exhaustion and worry along the way finally paid off.
Zhang Zi An is also full of expectations for the trip to the United States. If you are lucky, you may have any interesting elves on the other side of the ocean!
