Chapter 377: Questions about Imported Cat Food
Zhang Zian called Snowy over to the storage shelves to, of course, justifiably advertise for his shop . He called Lu Yiyun over too, to teach her how to answer questions for customers when he needed to go out .


Snowy focused the camera on her phone at him, while Lu Yiyun listened carefully .
Most of the audience members of Snowy’s live broadcast were rich, and a lot of them were raising cats and dogs . Some of the audience members had recognized the cat food brand at first glance .
"I've been buying this cat food for a long time — why is it so cheap here? It’s even cheaper than buying from the overseas websites! Is it fake?"


"Damn! The price is similar to what I bought in the supermarkets in the United States!"
Zhang Zian glanced at the comments on his cell phone and explained, "Because this is a premium discounted price for major clients offered by the cat food manufacturer, a number that retail prices at supermarkets can’t compare with . Besides, the cat food was shipped from the duty-free Oregon in the United States via express service to the Hong Kong free trade port, exempt from the 17% value added tax, and then was transshipped to Binhai City . Throughout the entire process, I only needed to pay the freight and a small amount of tariff . Here is a complete package of manufacturer authorization documents, customs clearance materials and import approval notice . If you have any questions, you can come check at any time . "
He put the relevant documents and materials in front of Snowy’s camera and let her film them .
"My baby girl’s food is about to be consumed completely . I will visit your shop in a day or two . If you are not bluffing, then I’ll buy some . "

"Cat lovers in Binhai City are so lucky . How come we don’t have such a pet shop in our city? We have to secretly buy overseas, and risk being confiscated by customs . . . "
Zhang Zian was so pleased with himself . He did not forget to emphasize, "The store's cat food is not for public sale, it’s only for the internal welfare of our members . So, if you want this imported cat food, become our members quickly! The first 1,000 members may also receive the Hottie Store Manager’s autograph!"
Although the audience was condemning Zhang Zian, and many people even claimed that Zhang Zian’s signatures would be fed to dogs, the cat food had attracted a lot of cat lovers . Buying cat food overseas was too risky — unlike clothing or electronic products, without import approvals, once seized by the Customs and Excise Department, the cat food would be destroyed rather than requiring travelers to pay the required taxes .
Because of Zhang Zian’s imported cheap cat food, those cat raisers with limited budgets that had been feeding their cats domestic-brand cat food could upgrade to imported food without spending too much extra money . It’s uncertain whether there was a huge difference between domestic and imported cat food, but at least the imported brand was more reassuring . As for those cat owners who had been buying food directly from overseas, purchasing from Zhang Zian’s place would save them energy and money .
Some inexperienced cat owners raised their questions, "May I ask which brand is better?"
"I don’t understand cat food at all, I just buy randomly . . . "
"Hottie Store Manager, can you recommend some brands, in addition to the brand you sell here . . . "
A lot of similar questions popped up in the live broadcast room, and many experienced cat owners answered actively . There were many different opinions .
Zhang Zian picked up a comb and knocked at a can of cat food, as if drawing everyone’s attention . He cleared his throat and said, "Please quiet down! To answer the question raised by the person that just called me ‘Hottie Store Manager’, I can tell you how to select suitable cat food, but I won’t recommend other brands here . "
The audience went quiet . After all, Zhang Zian was a professional, and was more informed than ordinary cat raisers .
Zhang Zian picked up a bag of cat food, showing the side written with the ingredients to Snowy, and said, "We all know that cats eat meat, and that they can’t secrete much amylase . Nowadays, many cat food brands claim their products are grain-free . However, we must first make it clear that grain-free is not the same as starch-free, and every cat food contains starch, because inside the meat is muscle fibers that have no adhesive capacity . To make granular cat food, it is necessary to add starch to stick it all together . "
He added, "All the cat food brands that claim to be starch-free are confusing these concepts and misleading customers . The difference lies in which kind of starch and how much starch is contained within . The lower, the better . Generally, cat food that contain
