"Don’t fool me! I won’t fall for your tricks!"
Sun Yinian was fooled once . She couldn’t take advantage of him again!
From preparation to successfully going public, it sometimes takes years . What if it failed? Stars Pet’s counteroffer was really low . If they continued to do so, his breeding base would go out of business this winter . Everything was nonsense if his store died .
Qian Fang was patient . She winked at her assistant . Her assistant pulled the folder out from under her arms and took out a piece of paper from it .
"Okay . I shouldn’t show you this . It is confidential . " She took the paper from her assistant’s hands and said embarrassedly, "We are old friends…Look, this is our counter offer to Love Lovely Pet . Don’t tell anyone you’ve seen this . "
She gave Sun Yinian the paper as she spoke .
"After you see it, you will believe me . Thinking that we are old friends, I already gave you a much better price than theirs . If our profit is low, I am accountable for it . I might be fired . " She was worried .
Sun Yinian took the quote and glanced at it . His hands shook and he was shocked . "That’s impossible! The quote is lower than our costs!"
Qian Fan put her arms in front of her chest and said seriously, "That’s the truth . Mr . Sun, you should recharge yourself when you have time . Read some books! Always staying in your store doesn’t help you improve . You should go out and talk to some people in the industry; learn some advanced breeding techniques . It is time to let go of the old-fashioned stuff and learn some new knowledge… If other stores can cut costs, why can’t you?"
Sun Yinian’s eyes were wide-open . Looking at the quote, sweat dripped from his forehead and neck . His hands kept shaking and he continued saying, "That’s impossible…that’s impossible…"
Qian Fang reached out her arm, took the quote back from his hands and gave it to her assistant . Her assistant and put it back in the folder at once .
"Nothing is impossible . Everything is possible, Mr . Sun . Why don’t you make a decision? Our offer is not going to change . If you can accept it, we can wire the money and load our truck . If you reject…" she drawled, "then I am sorry . You are not the only breeding base in town . We are going to work with another base . "
She smiled, but her smile was cold . "I think you know what it means if you lose a VIP customer like Star Pets . No pet store in the area can afford to lose big orders like ours . At this time, you can keep the pets for yourself…" Obviously this was her final warning .
All of a sudden, Sun Yinian felt as if a cold breeze went through his body and soul in such a powerful way that his body shook involuntarily . He was light headed and felt as if he was standing on wavy water .
That was true . Local pet stores were attached by Star Pets . Stars Pet Chain Supermarket almost kicked everyone out of the market .
Many pet stores bought from Sun Yinian before . Less and less came . He asked about what happened and found that most of them either were closed or sold .
How could a small pet store fight against a super enterprise like Stars Pet chain Supermarket? There was no cost advantage, no bargaining power, no running capital, and no network . Stars Pet Chain Supermarket even had their own delivery trucks!
The real world is cruel . Only the fittest can survive .
Should he suck it up and accept this quote although he would lose money? What if they came back with a lower price next time?
Sun Yinian couldn’t see any light in front of him . He was confused .
His breeding base still had to pay back loans from banks . All the staff was counting on him . It was easy to close the business, but then he would be deeply in debt and the staff would lose their jobs .
Sun Yinian sighed and was stuck .
Zhang Zian knew he had to stand up for himself . He could not let Stars Pet Chain Supermarket take those pets otherwise his store would run out of stock .
"I like the old-fashioned way for breeding . Not all new things are good . A quote from Mr . Deng Xiaoping is that when opening a window, fresh air comes in, but so do flies . "
Qian Fang raised her eyebrow . The old guy was about to give in . Who was disturbing?
She looked at Zhang Zian up and down, frowned, and asked, "And you are?"
The young man in front of her was wearing casual clothes and sneakers . He was not wearing expensive pieces nor a valuable watch . He might not be a big shot . He wasn’t wearing a uniform so he was not a staff member either .
Her quick judgement was correct .
Zhang Zian smiled and said, "We are in the same business . I have a pet store . "
Same industry? She laughed . A small pet store could compare with Stars Pet Chain Supermarket?
However, she should still be nice . Otherwise, she would look small-minded .
She quickly pulled out a business card . "Oh, that’s great! We are in the same business . Let’s keep in touch . Maybe we could help each other out someday . My name is Qian Fang, regional purchasing director for Stars Pet Chain Supermarket . "
Help each other out? Zhang Zian laughed in his mind . I would thank you if you would just leave me alone .
Of course, he also had to show respect . He accepted the business card, took a look and said, "My name is Zhang Zian . "
Qian Fang saw that he wasn’t going to exchange business cards and asked him, "Which one is your store?"
Zhang Zian replied, "Amazing Fate Pet Shop . A small store . I bet you have never heard of it . "
In Zhang Zian’s opinion, it wasn’t worth it to hide . She could find out if she wanted to .
Qian Fang paused for a second . She had never heard of it . It had to be a small shop that might not even exist in a few days . It wasn’t worth her time to learn more about .
She looked at her assistant . Her assistant slightly shook her head meaning that she had never heard about it either .
Binhai City and the surrounding area had dozens of small pet shops like that . No one could remember all of them .
It was about time . From Qian Fang’s perspective, she had shown enough respect to Zhang .
She nodded, "Mr . Zhang, nice to meet you . Hope that we can help each other out in the future . "
After discontinuing the conversation with Zhang Zian, she said to Sun Yinian, "Mr . Sun, please make a decision ASAP . I am on a tight schedule . I still have to go to a few more breeding bases that are farther . "
"Wait," Zhang Zian stopped her, implying that it wasn’t done between them .
"What’s the matter, Mr . Zhang?" She was impatient .
Zhang Zian said, "We don’t have to wait . You can help me out now . "
He pointed at the cages on the side and said, "Could we talk about it? I would like to buy these pets as well . "
