old black is a dog

Chapter 132 The Water Is Too Deep

Mi Li deeply sympathizes with what happened to Li Xiaowan.

In this day and age, it is really not easy to raise a dog that suits your heart.

Reliable, eye-catching, the price can be so expensive that it hurts your flesh.

Let’s not talk about cheap ones, purebred or not purebred, or poor-looking ones, and they may make you suffer the pain of bereavement at any time.

Li Xiaowan's experience is a good illustration of this point.

Most importantly, what disgusts people who want to keep a dog is that this is by no means an exception, but a common practice.

This was evidenced by the next guest.

While Mi Li was still talking to Li Xiaowan, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked in.

"Is Xiaomi there? Which of you is Xiaomi?"

As soon as the middle-aged man came to the store, he immediately looked for rice grains, and he knew that he came here because of the name.

"I am, may I ask you to be..."

Mi Li turned to this middle-aged man who was wearing glasses and looked a bit refined.

"Oh, my surname is Xia, you can call me Mrs. Xia, I want to ask, do you have golden retrievers here?"

Another guy came to buy a dog.

Mi Li said apologetically, "Sorry, Teacher Xia, our puppy hasn't entered yet."

Teacher Xia was a little impatient and said, "Then hurry up and buy some. I'm willing to pay a high price, as long as you can guarantee that it's not a fake golden retriever, and you can keep it alive."

Rice grain: "..."

Who would sell fake golden retrievers in the store!

Also, who can guarantee that they will not die?

Mi Li was puzzled, why the teacher Xia proposed such a strange condition?
She immediately asked, "Mr. Xia, why do you have such a request?"

"Oh, don't mention it, in order to raise a golden retriever, I have been cheated twice..."

Another sad story of a dog market victim.

Speaking of the experience of buying a dog, Mr. Xia, who works as a teacher in a university town, said that he was "stupid and naive".

The first time I went to the dog market, Teacher Xia bought a golden retriever puppy for 1000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, this little golden retriever, which was still alive and kicking in the dog market, wilted and refused to eat within a day after being brought home. It cost more than 900 yuan to send to the pet hospital, and finally died within a week.

When she knew that she had been cheated, Teacher Xia remembered what the dog seller had always emphasized, "This is my own dog, and it will never get sick..."

"To be planted twice by the same dog dealer is really rare in history!"

Teacher Xia laughed at herself and talked about her second experience of buying a dog.

Mr. Xia, who has always dreamed of having a golden retriever of his own, started his trip to the dog market again.

Going to the dog market again, Teacher Xia became more cautious.

When he sees a dog he likes, he will inquire carefully about the source of the dog, how it was vaccinated, etc., but he will never sell it lightly.

Unexpectedly, after walking around for a while, he bumped into the dog dealer from last time.

Teacher Xia immediately reasoned with him, but the man tried his best to emphasize that the puppy died because he didn't adapt to the new environment.

After a "confrontation", the dog dealer sold another little golden retriever to Teacher Xia "cheaply".

The puppy was healthy and lively, but after more than 8 months, its drooping ears began to stand up (purebred golden retriever dogs have droopy ears), and its appearance completely lost its golden retriever appearance.

Teacher Xia finally understood that he had been fooled again: this was not the golden retriever of his dreams!

In desperation, Teacher Xia gave it to relatives in the countryside.

Regarding his experience of being cheated twice, Mr. Xia said that he could only admit that he was unlucky: "This industry is very special, and there are no invoices, guarantees, etc. during the transaction. Those who don't understand the 'insider' can only admit it."

Dong Xiaowan, who had been listening by the side, laughed unkindly.

"Mr. Xia, you are very lucky. Although you bought a fake golden retriever, at least you can still support it. I kept two of them to death in a row."

Dong Xiaowan couldn't wait to share her cheating experience with Teacher Xia, including this time on the digital city.

The experience of sympathizing with each other made the two dog friends get acquainted immediately.

There is no worst, only worse.

Comparing each other's experiences, the two laughed instead.

Teacher Xia said with emotion: "I don't dare to go to the dog market again, let alone the digital city. Most of the dogs sold on it are unscrupulous dog dealers. I don't believe in all kinds of lies. Now I would rather spend more money and find a reliable place to buy a dog."

"Me too." Dong Xiaowan immediately expressed his support.

Then the two of them put pressure on Mi Li, asking her to go to a regular kennel to buy goods, one for a golden retriever, and the other for a small dog like a Teddy or a Pomeranian.

It was the first time for Mi Li to be forced to make money.

After sending away the two eager dog buyers, she was still a little apprehensive.

Although she is an insider in the pet industry, Mi Li used to focus on pet grooming, and she also worked as a dog handler by the way. She only knows a little bit about raising and selling puppies, not proficient.

The business of selling puppies is too deep, and she is not fully sure.

How to do it?

Ask Mo Daxian to go!

After chatting with Xiaomei and Yang Yan, Mi Li immediately thought of this.

After benefiting from the pet foster care and house tearing projects, in the eyes of Mi Li, the mysterious Mo Daxian is definitely an expert in this industry.

Such a small problem should not bother him!

So she immediately opened WeChat and began to leave messages for Mo Daxian on it.

Yang Mu was really stumped.

Dong Xiaowan and Mr. Xia's experience, he has been staying in the store, he naturally heard clearly.

Only now did he know how lucky he was back then: After buying Lao Hei, he managed to feed him once, and he also raised a good-looking dog.

Now it seems that my luck at that time was really against the sky.

Faced with Mi Li's message, Yang Mu, who returned home, didn't know how to answer for a while.

The more he learned, the more he understood that the water in the puppy sales industry was really too deep.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as chaos.

But no matter how deep the water is, this business must continue, and it must have its own characteristics.

In order to come up with a complete plan, Yang Mu did not reply to Mi Li immediately, but plunged into the Internet again and began to study it seriously.

Where do puppies come from?

This was the first question he had to seriously consider.

From a regular kennel?
This channel is required.

For those customers who require purebred dogs and bloodlines, only dogs bred in regular kennels can have sufficient protection in this regard.

But dogs in regular kennels also have disadvantages.

If I could describe it in one word, it would be: Expensive!
Two words: very expensive!

Three words: very expensive!
Four words: ridiculously expensive!

……

Expensive is expensive for a reason, but for many first-time dog owners, they don't understand this truth.

Therefore, dogs in regular breeding kennels will reject a considerable number of customers because of price factors.

For this reason, if Yang Mu wants to expand his business of selling puppies, he has to consider low-priced channels.

Could it be that the dogs were bought from the hands of the second-hand traffickers in the dog market?
But after a lot of understanding, Yang Mu discovered that the water in the dog market is really too deep!
