Chapter 383 Unexpected Harvest

Thinker Novel Network

Zhang Zian laughed when he heard the price quoted by the third vendor.

Bengal cats are sought after by some people because of their unique wild beauty. The price was really expensive a few years ago, but recently due to the increase in the number of breeding in the Northeast, the price has dropped. Is it a fool to ask for 50,000 yuan?

However, the appearance of this adult leopard cat is really good. There are large stripes distributed horizontally on the golden fur. The stripes are deep on the outside and shallow on the inside, and are too bright. At the end of the tail, the muzzle and nose are not as delicate as ordinary domestic cats, but there is a protrusion like a wild cat on the left and right, with strong and powerful beards.

"Brother Qi, why did you think of buying a leopard cat? I remember you don't like keeping small animals." Xiaoxue asked Lin Qi.

Lin Qi scratched his head, and said with some difficulty: "Well... Actually, my friend's house raised a serval cat. The cat is very beautiful, big and beautiful, full of wildness. It is different from ordinary cats, and it makes us envious. So... so I thought, I can't lose face, I have to raise a similar one, and make them envious... He raises a serval cat, so I plan to raise a leopard cat, and I can't repeat it with him. Then I asked, I said that the leopard cats sold here are good, so I’m here.”

When Zhang Zian heard it, he understood in his heart that it turned out to be a very common mentality of comparison.

"Oh..." Xiaoxue turned around and asked Zhang Zian, "Mr. Store Manager, can you help my Seventh Brother with advice, is this leopard cat worth so much money?"

Lin Qi frowned. In fact, he was moved because the vendor asked for a higher price, because my friend’s serval cat seemed to cost more than 200,000 yuan to import from the United States. .

Zhang Zian didn't understand the mentality of the rich second generation. He said honestly: "This leopard cat looks good...but it's not worth the price. It's worth ten to twenty thousand yuan. In fact, no matter how good the appearance is, I don't recommend buying it." , because if a pet such as leopard cat does not have a pedigree certificate, it is likely to be the first or second generation of offspring bred by wild leopard cats, which is wild and difficult to tame."

"Don't talk nonsense!" The vendor's third child was in a hurry, "Aren't you talking nonsense with your eyes open? My leopard cat is doing well. How can it be wild?"

Xiaoxue also thinks this leopard cat is very obedient. Although it looks very wild, it has been lying quietly in the iron cage, only occasionally making short and sharp meows, which are completely different from the meowing of ordinary cats.

Lin Qi said disapprovingly, "I just want to be wild."

Zhang Zian smiled and said, "Be wild...Xiaoxue, have you ever been scratched by your snowball?"

Xiaoxue tilted her head and thought about it, "It seems to have been scratched once, but it didn't bleed, just left a red mark."

"Persian cats are docile and not very strong. It doesn't matter if you get scratched, but if this leopard cat scratches you, your skin will be ripped apart." Zhang Zian said. There are many shallow scratch marks on his parents' hands and wrists. When bathing the cat, they will wear rubber gloves, but they don't wear them all the time, and they will inevitably be scratched and scratched.

The claws of leopard cats are much stronger than those of ordinary domestic cats.

"My cat doesn't scratch people, I promise not to scratch people, look at how well-behaved it is, doesn't it look like it's scratching people?" The third child also picked up a thin iron bar and banged it a few times to prove what he said. The ocelot inside the cage was frightened, it just moved its place and barked a few times, but it didn't act aggressively.

Lin Qi turned to look at Zhang Zian to see how he would respond.

Zhang Zian thought for a while silently, and said, "There are two possibilities. One is that this leopard cat is really good; the second possibility is that it has taken sedative drugs such as sleeping pills. Which one is I? It is impossible to judge for the time being. If it is the latter, once the effect of the medicine wears off, it will reveal its true nature."

"Sleeping pills?" Xiaoxue called out in surprise.

"That's right, you can feed Bomei with painkillers, and of course you can also feed leopard cats with sleeping pills." Zhang Zian carefully reserved some leeway.

"But like I said, I'm not 100 percent sure."

Leopard cats must have a pedigree certificate to buy cats. After at least four generations of crossbreeding with domestic cats and selective breeding, the blood of wild leopard cats has degraded to less than 1/8 before they can become domestic pet cats. Some leopard cats that have only been crossed for one to three generations, although they look very beautiful, will definitely cause problems when bought back.

Even leopard cats that have become pets have the disadvantages of being too active and scratching compared to other pet cats. It is basically difficult to expect them to lie obediently on their knees and let their owners pet the cats.

The leopard cat in front of him was a little too obedient, so obedient beyond common sense, it made Zhang Zian suspicious.

"My leopard cat doesn't take sleeping pills! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!" The third street vendor retorted excitedly.

Hearing what Zhang Zian said, Lin Qi, who had made up his mind to buy it, also hesitated. After all, he bought the leopard cat to pretend to be aggressive, but it is not worthwhile to bleed for pretending.

"Are there any other handsome cats? They are similar to leopard cats and serval cats." He asked Zhang Zian, "It doesn't matter if they are more expensive, money is not a problem."

"Money is not a problem...then I have a suggestion, you can buy an Asera cat, that cat is absolutely rare, and it looks very handsome. It is much taller than a leopard cat. It should meet your requirements." Zhang Zian replied.

"Athera the cat?"

Neither Xiaoxue nor Lin Qi had ever heard of this strange name, and even the third child who was getting angry temporarily stopped talking and listened curiously.

"Athela cat is a newly bred cat breed. It has not been recognized by any cat association for the time being, and I am afraid it will not be recognized in the future. This kind of cat is big and heavy, and its appearance is similar to that of a small leopard. If you want to be with friends If you want to attract attention at the party, and you are not short of money, then go buy the Asera cat." Zhang Zian introduced.

Lin Qi suddenly became interested, and asked impatiently: "How do I buy it? Where can I buy it?"

"I heard that an American pet company is selling it, and the supply is limited, so it may not be easy to buy..." Zhang Zian suddenly had an idea when he said this, and asked tentatively: "I happen to have a friend in the pet industry in the United States. , how about I help you find out?"

He thought of Tim and Lauren. Since they were professional cattery owners, they had probably heard of this kind of cat.

Lin Qi was overjoyed, "That's great! If you can buy it for me, I'm willing to pay the agency fee, money is not a problem!"

He is not short of money, but he has no purchase channels, and the news about this is not very well-informed, so he went to the dog market to buy leopard cats. Now that he has a better goal, he simply gave up on this leopard cat of unknown origin.

"First of all, the price of the Asera cat can only be more expensive than the serval cat, and it cannot be cheaper than the serval cat. It will cost at least 200,000 yuan. If you are sure to buy it, you must pay a deposit first, otherwise I will ask the relationship to be very difficult. I got it from the United States, but if you don't buy it, then I will lose a lot." Zhang Zian confirmed again.

He found that he still underestimated the fanatical pursuit of rare pets by these rich second generations, no wonder the men in trench coats offered hundreds of thousands to buy primitive Egyptian cats.

"No problem." Lin Qi agreed, "Since you know Xiaoxue, I will trust you. As long as you find out that you can buy it, I will pay you the full amount immediately."

"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhang Zian was also very happy. He didn't expect to come to the dog market and make a deal.

If this business is successfully completed, he may be able to purchase some rare pets from other rich second generations in the future.

Pet companies in the United States have advanced genes and genetic technology. In recent years, they have actually bred several new breeds of cats. In addition to Asera cats, the more famous ones are Savannah cats, which are very expensive. Ordinary people can't afford it or support it, and it's a toy for local tyrants.

Local tycoon? The most indispensable thing in China is local tyrants!
