Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
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 custors when he needed to go out.
Snowy focused the cara on her phone at him, while Lu Yiyun listened carefully.
Most of the audience mbers of Snowy’s live broadcast were rich, and a lot of them were raising cats and dogs. So of the audience mbers had recognized the cat food brand at first glance.
“I’ve been buying this cat food for a long ti — 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 comnts 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 docunts, customs clearance materials and import approval notice. If you have any questions, you can co check at any ti.”
He put the relevant docunts and materials in front of Snowy’s cara and let her film them.
“My baby girl’s food is about to be consud completely. I will visit your shop in a day or two. If you are not bluffing, then I’ll buy so.”
“Cat lovers in Binhai City are so lucky. How co 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 mbers. So, if you want this imported cat food, beco our mbers quickly! The first 1,000 mbers may also receive the Hottie Store Manager’s autograph!”
Although the audience was condemning Zhang Zian, and many people even claid 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 Departnt, 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 dostic-brand cat food could upgrade to imported food without spending too much extra money. It’s uncertain whether there was a huge difference between dostic 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.
So 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 recomnd so 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 ‘Hottie Store Manager’, I can tell you how to select suitable cat food, but I won’t recomnd other brands here.”
The audience went quiet. After all, Zhang Zian was a professional, and was more inford 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 at, 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 sa as starch-free, and every cat food contains starch, because inside the at 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 custors. The difference lies in which kind of starch and how much starch is contained within. The lower, the better. Generally, cat food that contain
