"It’s like this," Zhang Zian retracted his eyes, "I intend to open a membership system, and I want to ask if you hav
e any interests. At the same time, there should be a discount if you buy two sets at once."
"Huh?" She did not understand at the moment.
"I’ve thought about it, and there are benefits of a membership system. Once customers put money into your business, they will certainly choose to come to you first when their pets are sick, or when their pets need physical checkups. You can also give discounts of five percent or ten percent to membership cardholders. This should be very attractive," he explained. She was not used to Zhang Zian’s serious look, and suspected that she had come across a fake Zhang Zian. She only spoke after a pause. "I know the benefits of a membership system, and big pet hospitals all do that. But is there a need for that for my small clinic? The cost should be pretty high, right? And we would also need manpower to operate this."
"There will definitely be a cost, and that is my purpose of coming here. We can share the responsibility of the costs and risks together," Zhang Zian said and continued, "I have a preliminary idea, which is to support the customers with memberships in your clinic to come to my shop. No matter if it is buying things or giving cats baths; they can all enjoy a five percent discount. My shop will also recommend my customers with memberships to go to your clinic to get vaccinations, do physical exams, or for medical treatment, and will be able to enjoy a five percent discount as well. Five percent is just an example, the specific number can be discussed again, but I think that we shouldn’t go lower than this number, or else it would have no meaning."
This was a very bold proposal. Once this proposal was accepted, it would be equal to the fact that Amazing Fate Pet Shop and Spirit Curing Pet Clinic have formed alliances and became partners, and that the two of them would have gone from being just simply friends to business partners. When talking about business, it would have to be considered whether or not the business deal was worthwhile, and whether or not it would bring benefits to your own shop. Thus, Sun Xiaomeng bowed her head in deep consideration.
Zhang Zian’s proposal’s nature was to combine the flow of customers of each store. Both stores were pet-related, and this was the basis of the collaboration. Their collaboration had a natural advantage, which was that both of their stores were very near each other, and located at the south and north entrance of Zhonghua Road respectively. There was only a distance of a few hundred meters in between, and one could just stroll there. After a bit of analysis, Sun Xiaomeng felt that the proposal was a disadvantage for her. That was because to talk about the flow of customers, her clinic certainly dominated that. The equity of the strength of both parties should be the premise of collaboration. Only through that way can complementary roles be played. After some thought, she said, "Give me some time to think about it. It’s hard to make a decision in all of a sudden."
Zhang Zian expressed understanding; this wasn’t as simple as just buying a computer, but there was a need for an additional hire, and it would be the same as having an additional burden to give out another portion of salary. She would not be able to handle everything by herself. "Tell me when you’ve come to a decision. I’ve made appointments with other people, and I have to go inspect their membership systems for these two days. If I think that it’s efficient to use, then I might just settle on it, so it’s better to not drag it out for too long," he replied.
Sun Xiaomeng stared at him suspiciously. Could just selling pets and giving baths to cats attract customers to make membership cards? "Nothing else?" She asked.
He shrugged and said, "Another thing is that I am going to be a janitor for you this once. I concede defeat. Where are the uniform, the gloves and the disinfectant?"
She shook her head, "No need. It was just a joke."
"No. A man sticks to his words," Zhang Zian insisted.
He had actually wanted to use the opportunity of cleaning to inspect the inside of her clinic. This consideration was made for the collaboration. It was similar to how she had questioned his ability, and he also must check to see if her clinic was up to standard. She saw that he was stubborn about it and could only say, "Then come with me."
He followed her inside past the treatment room and operation room, and arrived at the locker room in the back. Upon opening the door of the locker room was a pair of sinks. This was for washing hands before an operation. One side of the wall was completely occupied by a row of wardrobes, and across from that was a bunk bed. There were quilts and blankets that still haven’t been folded on the bottom bunk, and there were women coats scattered on the top bunk. Sun Xiaomeng pulled open the wardrobe at the very edge, and there were a variety of cleaning supplies and disinfectants in it. "Do you really want to do it?" She asked to confirm. He nodded as he put on the gloves and mask at the same time.
"Then alright, I will take a trip back home—I’m warning you, don’t go through my things while I’m gone! I have a monitor here!"
Zhang Zian was speechless. Am I really that untrustworthy?
