Dream Pet Shop

There was a new pet egg in the incubator in the study room on the second floor of Dream Pet Store, which had been idle for a long time. Xia Ji lay on the bed and clicked on the task interface of the system.

[Elementary task progress: 7/10

Available dream value: 21500

Cumulatively obtained dream value: 65000

*Successfully unlocked a new business expansion mission: Pet Beauty Salon]

Through various efforts, the business of the pet shop has finally improved, and the dream value has begun to increase continuously. The cute pets have survived the difficult period of eating the last meal and worrying about the next meal, and now they don’t worry about not being able to drink pet growth agents every day. and ability boosters.

Xia Ji noticed that the system had unlocked a new business expansion task. He clicked on it and found that another condition of this expansion task was to add an additional store area of ​​100 square meters.

Xia Ji couldn't help frowning, and asked the system: "Xiao Chong, how many business expansion tasks are there?"

[Back to the host, there are a total of four business expansion tasks, and the host has unlocked three. 】

"Hmm... Does the one that has not been unlocked also have a request for an additional store area?"

[The task has not been unlocked, and the little pet can't be sure, but according to the requirements of the first three tasks, there is an 80% probability that it is the new area requirement of the store. 】

Xia Ji sat up from the bed, and took out the draft contract from the bedside cabinet that he had brought back from the sales office last time.

The newly unlocked two business expansion tasks currently require a total of [-] square meters of new store area, which is the size of the two stores. There is another expansion task to be unlocked in the future, and the store may also be expanded.From this point of view, buying all the remaining four shops in Kesiyunlai Commercial Street at once will save a lot of trouble in the future.

Xia Ji then dug out the account book again, added up the money earned from all channels, and added the amount that could be obtained from the bank loan. The result was still far from the figure in the draft contract.Four shops are really beyond his ability to afford. It is barely enough to buy three shops. It would be great if someone is willing to buy together with him.

Xia Ji thought, is it really necessary to go out and help developers attract investment?But he used to be a dead house, and he didn't have any connections.

Although Xia Ji really wanted to receive the task reward, he still couldn't think of a good way, so he had to temporarily put the store upgrade on hold.

……

The midsummer afternoon is the hottest time, and the asphalt road is shining brightly. Most people hide indoors and blow on the air conditioner and dare not come out.A young guy went in the opposite direction, walking on the deserted street under the scorching sun, humming a song, and navigating with a mobile phone map.

His orange hair is particularly eye-catching in the sun, and his skin is extremely fair, but it seems that he is not afraid of the sun, his face is still fair and clean, not even a drop of sweat.

The orange-haired boy wandered into the Kesiyunlai commercial street according to the navigation display. He squinted his eyes and looked around. The whole street was deserted, and many shops were idle. It didn't look like there were shops here. It looks like it's open, except for a small supermarket at the intersection.

The orange-haired young man then walked towards the supermarket. An old man was dozing off behind the supermarket cashier. The young man curled his lips and asked loudly, "Master, do you know that there is a pet shop in this area? How to get there?" ah?"

Mr. Li was awakened by the voice, touched his face, and put on his reading glasses to see the young man's face clearly.If someone asked him how to get to the pet store before, he usually answered indifferently that he didn't know, but now he glanced at the little orange cat squatting by the cashier and said, "Yes, it's in the middle of this street, at Walk in for more than 200 meters and you will be there.”

The orange-haired young man also saw the little orange cat next to the cashier. The cat had the same hair color as him. He felt it was close, so he reached out and touched it. As soon as his hand touched the cat's head, the little orange cat immediately bowed up. With fur all over his body, he vigilantly bared his teeth at the orange-haired young man.

"Hey, don't touch my cat!" Mr. Li put his hand between the hands of the little orange cat and the young man, and looked at the young man inexplicably.

The orange-haired young man had a calm expression on his face, and said with a smile, "The kitten is so cute, I can't help but want to touch it."

Mr. Li frowned and said: "This cat is born, if I catch you, I can't afford it."

The orange-haired young man squinted his eyes and smiled, took a bar of chocolates from the cash register, took out ten yuan and put it on the cash register, said "Thank you, Mr. Li", and turned around and left .

The orange-haired young man strolled along the commercial street. He didn't walk in the shade of the trees, he just walked in the middle of the road, letting the sun shine, and he didn't seem to be afraid of the heat at all.He opened the chocolate bag and found that the chocolate had melted a bit, so he broke off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and threw the rest into the trash can.

The orange-haired young man quickly saw Xia Ji's store. He took out his mobile phone, compared the photos, and said with a smile, "This is it."

He stood at the door of the store with his mobile phone and took a few photos himself, nodded while taking pictures: "Yeah, the decoration is not bad! It must have cost a lot of money."

After taking the photo, the young man with orange hair walked into the store, and instead of finding a seat to sit down like ordinary customers, he wandered around the store with great interest.

He first walked to the pet cage area on the left, looked at the foster pets inside, then carefully observed the design of the pet cage, and sighed to himself: "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, where can I order it?" The pet cage is so delicate."

The orange-haired young man turned around and saw a little girl sitting on the carpet playing with a snow-white kitten.He became interested when he saw the cute little milk cat, walked over and squatted down, and said: "What a cute kitten." In addition to the hand feeling, there is also the attitude of this little milk cat towards him. The little guy just glanced at him lazily and squinted, and didn't blow his fur, and was not afraid of him at all.

He nodded in surprise and praised: "This cat is so intelligent!"

After watching the pet interaction area, the orange-haired young man walked to the pet leisure area and found a seat to sit down. Ah Feng quickly came over to order for him.

Unexpectedly, when the orange-haired young man saw Ah Feng, his eyes lit up, he touched his chin and said, "So, there are handsome waiters in the store."

Ah Feng is often stared at by female customers, and has always been very conceited about his appearance. Seeing this or that customer sizing him up, instead of feeling uncomfortable, he puffed up his chest and replied very proudly: "Thank you." Dad said However, when you are praised by others, you should say thank you.

The smile on the orange-haired young man's face deepened, and he said in a low voice, "You have such a likable personality."

"Ah, what did you say?" Ah Feng didn't hear what he said just now, thinking he was going to order food.

The orange-haired young man took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and said, "The most popular things here are the wishing set and the doll set. Give me both."

Ah Feng quickly brought out two set meals from the back kitchen. The orange-haired youth took a photo and tasted a little of each set. The taste was better than he imagined.He thought, sure enough, this online celebrity shop didn't become popular out of thin air.The doll package also came with a doll, and he opened the bag to see that there was a little blue sparrow doll inside, which he often saw in the evaluation pictures on the Internet.

The orange-haired young man held the doll in his hand and squeezed it. The workmanship was excellent and the feel was top-notch. He really put his heart into it.

The young man with orange hair felt that he had roughly understood what he wanted to know. The business model of this pet shop was indeed quite creative. Before he left, he wanted to chat with the store manager, so he asked Ah Feng: "Excuse me Where did you grow up? Is it convenient to chat with him?"

Ah Feng pointed in the direction of the front desk and said, "He's in charge of paying the bill over there, you can find him yourself."

The orange-haired young man thanked him, then got up leisurely and walked towards the front desk.He has an outstanding appearance, and he walks with a leisurely charm, which attracts the attention of young female customers in the store from time to time.

He walked to the front desk, kept squinting his eyes to look at Xia Ji, and when Xia Ji finished paying the bill, he suddenly said: "Shopkeeper, look at your face, and your auspicious star is shining, so there must be someone to help you?"

Since Xia Ji opened the shop for so long, it was the first time he met a customer who could read his face. He couldn't help but look up at him a few more times, only to realize that the orange-haired young man in front of him was very special.

He is fair-skinned, good-looking, with a taste of neutral beauty, exaggeratedly dyed orange hair, and countless earrings on his ears. At first glance, he looks a bit like a "rebellious youth", but his body is contrary to Hedi was wearing a cotton and linen Tang suit, a big jade pendant on his chest, something like a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist, and an inexplicable mysterious fragrance on his body.

He squinted his eyes and smiled, and suddenly he was so beautiful that he couldn't distinguish male and female: "Shopkeeper, I want to ask what kinds of pets you sell in your store?"

Xia Ji's eyes were dazzled by his smile, and he was stunned for a moment before replying, "Ah, sorry, our store doesn't sell pets."

This was beyond the expectations of the orange-haired young man. He was a little surprised and said, "The pet store doesn't sell pets?" He rubbed his chin and thought for a while, and then said to himself: "Indeed, whether they sell pets or not is the same as the store." It doesn't matter how popular it is."

"This guest, you..." Xia Ji was puzzled by this person, and always felt that he was not an ordinary consumer.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet." The orange-haired young man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xia Ji.

Xia Ji looked down, and the business card read: Hu Tian, ​​owner of the Pavilion of Rare and Exotic Beasts.

"Actually, I also run a pet shop. I happened to see that your shop is so popular on the Internet, so I wanted to come and learn from it." Hu Tian smiled and stretched out his hand.

Xia Ji didn't expect a colleague to come to the door, and he didn't have a business card, so he shook hands with Hu Tian with a little embarrassment, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet... My name is Xia Ji, and I'm the owner of this store."

Hu Tian asked him: "Boss Xia, your store is so popular, isn't it a waste of customers not to sell pets?"

"Uh, it's okay. If pets are kept in the store, I would be reluctant to sell them, so I made it into a pet cafe." Xia Ji was still wondering what this person was here for.

"That's it..." Hu Tian thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to Xia Ji: "Boss Xia, since your shop doesn't sell pets, do you mind if I open a pet shop nearby that only sells pets?" ?”

"You want to open a pet shop here?!" Xia Ji was completely surprised.

Hu Tian explained: "Actually, I opened a pet shop in Dongcheng District, which is the Rare and Exotic Beast Pavilion written on the business card. Buy a cheaper store."

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone again: "I searched the real estate website before, and saw that the house price in this area is quite cheap. But I thought that there is already your pet shop here, and if you open another one, it will be homogeneous." The business is not easy to do, and it turns out that our business is different, and I feel that it is pretty good to open a shop here.”

Xia Ji suddenly thought that this was his turning point. If this person really came to Ruyun to open a store in the commercial street, he could buy those four stores together with him!

Xia Ji immediately said: "That's true. The only business our store won't do now and in the future is pet sales. Don't worry about business competition."

Hu Tian clapped his hands together: "Then we are really a match made in heaven! My shop is now and will only be in the business of selling pets."

"Hehehe." Xia Ji laughed dryly, the word "a match made in heaven" doesn't seem to be used in this way, does it?

Hu Tian thought about it and said, "Can we exchange contact information? I want to consult you about the information about the store here."

Xia Ji can't wait to find someone to jointly buy a store. If it does happen, we will be neighbors in the future. He thinks it's okay to exchange contact information, so he added Hu Tian's WeChat.

Hu Tian also seemed very happy, and before leaving, he took off the beads in his hand and gave them to Xia Ji: "Thank you for your willingness to help me, this is a meeting gift, musk beads."

"You don't need to be so polite." Xia Ji felt that he hadn't done anything yet, so he was embarrassed to accept his things, but Hu Tian was very bold, and he just gave it to Xia Ji. Xia Ji had nothing to give, so he gave him a lucky charm. He, Hu Tian left happily.

After Hu Tian walked for a while, Long Wei came back from the outside. After entering the store, he smelled a smell, and immediately frowned and asked Xia Ji: "Did anyone come here just now?"

There are always customers in the store, Xia Ji doesn't know who Long Wei is asking: "They are all customers, what's the matter?"

"There is a strange smell in the store." Long Wei said.

"Is there?" Xia Ji sniffed, but he couldn't smell anything. He probably could only smell the smell of a beast. He remembered that Hu Tian also had a strange smell of perfume, so he said, "Probably the perfume on the guest's body." taste."

Hearing what he said, Long Wei didn't ask any more questions.

Later, Xia Ji chatted with Hu Tian on WeChat and briefly introduced the situation in the commercial street to him. Xia Ji did not hide the fact that the commercial street was deserted.

But Hu Tian didn't care at all, and replied to him: "It doesn't matter, I have some regular customers to maintain my income, as long as the house price is cheap at present."

Xia Ji then told Hu Tian about the developer's plan and asked him how big a store he wanted to buy.

Hu Tian replied to him: "One room is enough for me, about a hundred square meters. No matter how big it is, I can't afford it."

This just met Xia Ji's needs, so the two quickly settled down and agreed to go to the sales office to sign the contract on Monday.Xia Ji originally thought that it would take a long time to upgrade the store, but he didn't expect it to happen suddenly. The fate is really wonderful.

So Xia Ji got up early on Monday morning, crossed half of the city again, and went to the sales office of the developer of Ke Siyunlai Commercial Street. He and Hu Tian met at the door of the sales office.

When Manager Song saw Xia Ji bringing an acquaintance over, he immediately burst into a smile. He knew that the deal was done, and the shop that had been vacant for several years was sold.

The three parties talked about prices and berths, and finally signed a formal contract.Manager Song kept his promise, and gave the internal preferential price, and deducted tens of thousands of yuan in the transfer fee from the contract, and promised to be responsible for helping them with the property rights.Hu Tian paid the full amount directly, Xia Ji paid 80.00%, and the remaining 20.00% was a loan, so the two had to wait for the bank loan to get the key.

When he came out, Xia Ji said in embarrassment: "I will press for the bank loan. The amount is not large, so it should be done soon."

Hu Tian shrugged indifferently: "It's okay, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, the current shop is due at the end of the month, and moving will take a while."

Finally, the business of the store was settled, and Xia Ji felt a big stone in his heart, and he couldn't wait to start planning the future of the pet store.

When he was about to walk to the subway station, Hu Tian suddenly said: "This place is not far from my pet shop, it's rare for you to come here, do you want to go and have a look?"

Xia Ji thought for a while, he has never been to any other pet shop, and he doesn’t know how Dazhong’s pet shop operates, and he likes small animals, so he immediately became interested, so he agreed to Hu Tian’s invitation, The two stopped a car and went to Hu Tian's shop.

The author has something to say: Long Wei sniffed and sang: "You smell of his perfume~~~~"

Xia Ji: "...(-_-|||)"
