Tool Man's Guide to Getting Rich

Xiaoguai was a little dazed. When the black cat went up to strike up a conversation with him, although he wanted to continue playing ball with his new friends, he still answered every question of the other party very well.

He is not particularly clear about the classification of human society, he only vaguely described the daily work of his "father", and even showed the black cat the collar in front of his neck: "Dad also brought me this before, saying that it can let him See what I do every day."

The black cat recognized that it was a sports camera, and when he came back to talk to Gong Lu, he was still a little confused: "If you say that person is secretly filming, it can be regarded as it, after all, he never said that his dog is wearing a camera. looking at the camera; but there is some truth in saying that it was not secretly filmed, because the thing is not covered up at all, and you can see it if you look closely."

Gong Lu didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he looked at the little boy who found the new toy and was playing with it on the monitor, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, he decided to temporarily forget about it.

When Xiao Zhuizi left with Xiao Guai later, a progress reminder popped up in Gong Lu's module, and the progress of the competitor's challenge has reached (0.5/3), which means that today's wave can only be regarded as a half-baked one. There will be the next half shock.

Gong Lu, who thought he was sitting right and not crooked, didn't pay too much attention to this, and didn't spend too much energy on this matter.

Nowadays, the business scope of pet supply stores has expanded. Although there are intelligent robots produced by the module mall on the second floor, Gong Lu is still considering hiring more employees.

His first thought was to hire a full-time employee to do the selling and billing downstairs.

At that time, he himself will stay on the second floor to take care of the fur children in the process of enrichment and provide psychological counseling, which happens to free him from the mechanical work.

But after interviewing a few people, Gong Lu had doubts about his requirements: "Are my requirements too high?"

That's why you feel that none of the people who came for the interview met the standard?

The black cat next to me came up with a new idea: "There is a golden retriever near my residence, and she usually has a good personality. You can invite her to work, and the salary is a little lower than that of meow."

With meow employees, I am not afraid of having another Wang employee.

It's just that if the golden retriever is really hired, she will be responsible for more work than the black cat, so whether she can communicate smoothly is also a very important thing.

He told the black cat what he thought, and the latter snorted: "Why do you think she lives next door to Meow?"

It's not that the black cat kindly took in this homeless puppy because the other party had a similar experience with itself.

Therefore, as an abandoned "pet", the golden retriever can also communicate with Gonglu smoothly.

The next day the golden retriever came to the shop with the little black cat. After Gong Lu conducted some simple tests on her, he unexpectedly found that the golden retriever was smarter than he had imagined.

The golden retriever who successfully passed the examination happily walked around in circles. After eating the working meal provided by Gong Lu, he leaned over sticky and asked for a pat, and introduced himself: "My name is Fagao. The Twoleg that I live with says it's a delicious food."

Because at the very beginning, it was determined that the human beings living with her were "cohabitants" rather than breeders or "parents", and the Golden Retriever accepted the fact that she was kicked out of the house: "They may want to change A shared renter?"

From Black Cat's point of view, Golden Retriever cares about eating but not fighting, but as an independent kitten, he will not hit each other at will.

"It's just because you are a colleague." Shen Yuan didn't mention the difficulties that Nian Gao encountered when he first came out to wander and the help he gave, and jumped on the cat climbing frame, "If the work is not in place, don't blame Ben Meow, you're welcome!"

As the name suggests, the rice cake dog ran to the bottom of the cat climbing frame and barked twice: "Thank you so much, Abyss. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found a job so quickly."

The fact that there are new employees in the store quickly spread among the customer base. People who come here will not be afraid of cats and dogs. After knowing this, they are much more excited than before. The hairy boy came to see the new employee.

Bianmu Pangpang, who has a strong sense of self-management, saw that Nian Gao was working hard and signaled the excrement scavengers to scan the QR code to pay, and he felt a little anxious in his heart: "I think I can do this job."

Lele tilted her head and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said: "I also think I can do it."

While listening to Lele's self-praise, Gong Lu echoed Ayun who complained that Lele demolished his house again today, and felt that Lele's self-awareness might not be in place enough.

Pangpang is really interested in this job. She followed Nian Gao for a few steps, and proudly announced to Lele that she had successfully graduated from the "employment training class": "Wait for the next time you come to my house to play!" I'll treat you like this."

After the last incident, the relationship between Ah Yun and Mr. Jiang has warmed up a lot. Now they are no longer the nodding acquaintances that you might meet while walking the dog, but the friendly people who can visit each other's house in their spare time Neighborhood too.

Seeing Pang Pang pondering how to get a QR code in his mouth for everyone to scan and pay, Gong Lu felt amused, but he had to remind Mr. Jiang as quietly as possible: "Pang Pang has been following rice cakes just now, There may be imitation behavior after returning home."

When Mr. Jiang looked back, he saw Pangpang pushing the QR code in front of Nian Gao in a similar manner, so that the customers in front of him could scan the code.

Mr. Jiang:  …

Mr. Jiang: "Bianmu is more lively...hahaha."

Sometimes he even suspects that he has delayed his furry child's failure to go to college.

Thanks to the boss for the reminder, after sending Pangpang and Lele to the playground on the second floor to play, Mr. Jiang and Ayun left together.

During the communication process during this period, the two discovered that they have many common interests and hobbies, and today they just made an appointment to go to the movies together.

It just so happens that Gong Lu can let the furry children play well, saving time for walking the dog.

Gong Lu didn't know that the relationship between the two was advancing by leaps and bounds in a place he didn't understand, and wanted to bring Pangpang and Lele to the second floor for them to play, but Pangpang refused to leave and insisted on helping with work on the first floor.

Seeing her good friend refusing to leave, Lele also sat down on the side and refused to move, opened her eyes wide and let out a coquettish sound, trying to soften Gong Lu's heart.

The condescending black cat Abyss taunted: "A dog is a dog, always loves to act like a baby."

Nian Gao is a very sticky puppy, although it is no longer a "puppy" anymore, but because of the more coquettish actions, in the hearts of Gong Lu and Shen Yuan, Nian Gao is still a coquettish puppy.

Lele's body is a few circles larger than the rice cake, and it looks a bit funny when she acts like a baby. While making Abyss ridicule, she is still grateful for the cuteness of the rice cake.

Lele didn't care about the ridicule, and still looked at Gong Lu eagerly.

After Gong Lu sent a message to A Yun and Mr. Jiang, he agreed to the request of the two dogs to stay downstairs.

After giving the two temporary workers a dog a small piece of beef jerky as a staff meal, Gong Lu explained the job content to them: "Now you are the assistants of Abyss and Rice Cake, be obedient."

"Wow!"

We can do it!

The space downstairs is not too small, and it won’t look cramped after having two more dogs. Gong Lu searched the mall for a large dog cushion that he had drawn from the pool and put it in front of Fatty and Lele: “The floor It's a bit dirty, so sit on the cushions if you want to sit."

After the two temporary workers had been settled, Gong Lu was about to go upstairs to visit the fur kids who were roaming around freely, when the door of the shop was pushed open again.

The people who came this time didn't bring their own fur kids. After inspecting the store, they went straight to the shelves and bought one of every item on the shelves.

Gong Lu originally wanted to persuade the other party to spend rationally, but the latter quickly piled up the things on the cash register and asked, "How much is this total? I'm in a hurry, please hurry up."

He also seemed to feel that his behavior was a little strange. He also explained to himself: "My baby is expensive, that is to say, I heard that your products are good, otherwise I would not buy it back. If the imported brand that the baby usually uses is not out of stock, I wouldn't come here. Buy more to not feel wronged baby."

Gong Lu: ...

Gong Lu: "Okay...Then Shenghui is 850 yuan, and I can give you zero here, and [-] yuan will be fine."

The man was obviously surprised by the price, then looked at the things on the cash register, then looked back at the price above, curled his lips: "I don't know if it will be so expensive... Forget it, I Just try it."

After finishing speaking, he still scanned the QR code to check out, and left with his things.

But when he left, he was obviously not as arrogant as before.

Abyss looked at the back of the man leaving from the window and licked his paws: "That Twoleg smells so weird meow."

The three dogs also had the same feeling. In their words, it was like the smell left over from contact with many kittens and puppies.

Combined with his behavior pattern just now, Gong Lu guessed that that person might also be a colleague.

"I bought all my products back home, maybe I want to take them for identification?"

He is also a little unpredictable, the store has been operating to this extent, of course he also pays attention to the situation of his peers.Just judging from what customers say, although they are peers, they are not competitors.

There are quite a few people who keep pets in this city, but there are far from many pet supply stores.At present, the market is not considered saturated, so the competition between stores is not fierce.

This is also one of the reasons why Gong Lu didn't take the task of the module very seriously.

But this time the progress was much faster than last time. On the second night, Gong Lu saw the progress in the module (1.5/3).

He was still a little confused about what was going on, but soon saw a former customer mentioning this in the ○ letter group.

"My friend recently encountered a very funny thing," the person said in the group. "It seems that the pet store near my house has made various publicity before, saying that it is going to launch some special new products."

The location of Gonglu's store is neither good nor bad. Although it is a little distance from the city center, the surrounding residents are already saturated enough, so he never thought about expanding his business abroad.

But people have circles, and those customers who have bought satisfactory products in Gonglu's stores will of course share their experiences with people they know well.

Not to mention highly recommended, but words like "I recently bought a nice small dried fish, and my master is very happy to eat it" will always come out.

Then let the other party see the specific situation, and let the other party try it out, and the news that there is a shop near their house that sells things that are very suitable for the master has been spread.

Although they can't buy some from time to time like people who live nearby, it is feasible to pick up some when passing by, or ask a good friend to bring some.

This makes these people reduce the frequency of going to the store they usually go to.

One or two may not be conspicuous, but as more people go less, gradually the operators of those shops will find something is wrong.

The guy who came shopping that day was one of the shopkeepers who noticed something was wrong.He finally found out about this store from regular customers, and came here to buy everything, just to find out what is so special about the items in this store, and to "learn" from them.

He originally thought that these things were just basic styles, and it would not be difficult to imitate them.After handing over the matter to a familiar manufacturer, he publicized the matter (thought he) without a trace, hoping to attract some customers to return.

It’s just that the result was a little unsatisfactory. In short, those customers who thought that the store would have a new one waited for a long time and only waited for a “due to uncontrollable factors, the new time for the store’s products will be delayed later”.

How long is the delay?The answer given there is "some time".

For a period of time, this kind of thing is the same as the next time in "Next time together", it is an imaginary number, if it is really serious, it is no problem to regard it as the next life.

Therefore, some people who had waited for the new product with real feelings were dumbfounded at the time, and it was not enough to yell, but it was okay to complain with people who had a good relationship.

The person who spoke in the store's ○ letter group came to the store to speak passionately after hearing the complaints from his friends.

Because Gong Lu seldom sends notices in the group, and sometimes he will answer the doubts of some shit-shoveling officials. The atmosphere in the group has always been good, and occasionally they chat together.

So when that person sent this news, he didn't deliberately start a fight, but just to open up a topic.

Someone reminded him not to talk about another store in the group of one store, and that person quickly reacted, retracted what he just said and apologized in the group.

However, Gong Lu saw that message very sharply, and took some time to understand it.

Only then did I realize that the customer who came with a portion of each item had such an idea in mind.

At that time, he thought that the other party was thinking of buying everything back and sending it for inspection to see if there were any illegal ingredients in the product.

"The simpler something is, the more difficult it is to make it colorful." Gong Lu fiddled with the small dried fish in front of him, "If it was really that easy to develop, the module's efforts to find orcs to make flavors would be wasted." ?"

What's more, what he sells has his "golden finger" of inherited characteristics. Although it is not obvious under the suppression of world rules, it will be more or less different from those produced by the assembly line.

It is this difference that makes his products more competitive among similar competing products.

The competitor's "conspiracy" failed, Gong Lu looked at the tasks given by the module, and focused on the business again.

Now the business flow of the entire store tends to be stable. According to this progress, the store will soon be able to upgrade again.The "Pet Paradise" on the upper floor has also become famous among the customer base. Now, if you want to let your master/furry child play on the second floor, you have to make an appointment one day in advance.

Black Cat Abyss and Golden Retriever Rice Cake can be regarded as taking over the work of entertaining customers and receiving payments on the first floor, but sometimes Abyss is impatient with the two-legged beasts, and drives Gong Lu to the first floor to introduce products to receive guests. I squatted on the highest part of the cat climbing frame on the second floor, watching the animals playing in the park having fun, and called myself a safety administrator.

This day was no different from usual, Gong Lu ordered some products on the shelf, and was about to open the module to buy some goods as a supplement, when someone opened the door and came in.

The man who came brought a pig.

It's not that Gong Lu is exaggerating to describe an orange cat, this man is bringing a real pig.

According to Gong Lu's knowledge, that pig is not a young pig, but a cub of an ordinary meat pig.

He didn't know that the person who brought the pig was clear about this, but that person obviously regarded his pig as a pet.

After walking around the store with the little pig, but he couldn't find a suitable product, the man stepped forward and asked, "I heard that you have a pet paradise here? How much is it once?"

Gong Lu made a quotation and explained before the other party spoke: "But the capacity of the park is already full. If you want to play, you can make an appointment for tomorrow."

The man obviously didn't expect the business of the pet park upstairs to be so good, he froze for a moment and then frowned: "Do you think my house is not a kitten or a dog, so you won't let me in?"

Gong Lu showed the reservation registration form: "I'm sorry, this place is really full. In order to ensure that every furry child in the park can enjoy the most comprehensive services, the capacity of the park is not too large, it is really already There is no way to receive any more."

The man couldn't find a way to refute, so he could only complain a few words, and left with the little pig.

This incident was just an episode in one day's business activities. Just when Gong Lu thought this incident was about to pass, he received several messages.

Xu Xia even called directly: "Did you offend someone recently? The information on the Internet shows the enthusiasm of the navy. I checked and the situation is good so far, but I don't know if the other party is still there. Is there any backup?"

Gong Lu was at a loss when he heard it: "What and what, why didn't I understand?"

It was raining heavily outside yesterday, so he simply brought the abyss and rice cakes home.

The two employees hadn't lived in a human's house for a while, and after going around the house a few times, they couldn't contain their inner excitement, and played with toys around Gong Lu until midnight.

Today happened to be the day when the store was closed, Gong Lu was asleep, and just woke up and turned off the airplane mode of his phone, when he received this series of news bombardment.

After Xu Xia heard Gong Lu say that he had just woken up, he asked him to read the news: "We'll talk after you finish reading it!"

Gong Lu patted his cheek to wake himself up, and then began to check the messages he received while sleeping.

He glanced at the content of the message outside the dialog box, and found that those who contacted him were basically talking about things on the Internet, so he directly opened the dialog box with Xu Xia.

The other party sent several links, and there were exclamations such as "Aren't you going to deal with it?" "I feel that the other side is coming prepared".

In the end, Xu Xia laughed at herself, "The emperor is not in a hurry for eunuchs", but he still left a message saying that Gong Lu must contact him after reading it.

Gong Lu looked at the first link, which was a blog post with the #discrimination#tag.

The blog post is neither too long nor too short, and Gong Lu finished it quickly. The gist of it is probably that the pets he raises are special, so it’s okay to be discriminated against by strangers on the road, but he didn’t expect to be discriminated against when he went to a pet supply store.

After this blogger published the article, many people who had pets of different kinds commented below, expressing the discrimination they had encountered.

One of the most liked is a blogger named "Little Pig Banner", who shared his latest experience in the comments.

"...It's fine if there are no suitable products in the store. When I want to sign up for the service, the other party actually said that I can't participate. They also said that my little pig can't be allowed in for the enjoyment of other pets. Kittens and dogs are pets. I Your little pig, isn't it?"

There are a lot of comforting words in the comments, and even asked the other party to disclose the name of the store.

After reading this, Gong Lu clicked on a new link and found that although the other party didn't directly name the store, they more or less revealed some relevant information.

Soon a detective netizen deduced this point and announced the name of the store.

The news that the Erkou store discriminates against pet breeds has become a local trending search, and many of the comments below are similar to "I heard from friends that this store sells very good things, but I didn't expect the owner to be such a person".

But if you look down a little bit, you can see some customers speaking for Gong Lu.

At present, it seems that this popular search will affect the popularity of the store. Gong Lu thought about it, and directly registered an account to publish a blog post to give a simple response to this matter.

"...It is not an easy task to make a good product, so Erkou didn't have the idea of ​​fully blooming, and only specialized in one type of product. Out of consideration for the direction of business, I chose the common direction of cats and dogs. .

"The capacity of the Pet Paradise is limited, and an appointment is required. The specific situation has been monitored and recorded, and you can check it yourself."

The author has something to say: Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival!
