Chapter 2 There are mice, borrow your cat
Xiao Guo's customers are basically people from Chuhua University, and it is not easy to do business with teachers and students in the university. Food safety and quality issues are most easily exposed here.
Those who stay in the laboratory all day long and face boring experimental data and equipment sometimes find some fun for themselves, such as taking a bus to the snack alley to buy a bowl of red oil hot dry noodles, and then take it back to the laboratory for testing
Check whether there is Sudan red in the red oil, whether there is aflatoxin in the sesame paste, whether there is excessive E. coli, etc.
Therefore, if you want to do business with university teachers and students but also want a good reputation, you need long-lasting guarantee of excellent quality.
But precisely because of this, Xiao Guo and his shop established a strong brand, became popular, and had funds. They took over several nearby stores, merged his brother's pet clinic and his own pet supplies store, and established "Ming Ming"
So” Pet Center.
This is Zheng Tan’s understanding of Xiao Guo. Generally speaking, Zheng Tan thinks that Xiao Guo is a pretty good person, he has brains, can make money, and he is not bad-hearted at the same time. At least he is good to animals.
After Xiao Guo left, the Jiao family did not mention anything about the canned cat advertisement. After dinner, Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi went to their respective rooms to do homework, and Jiao's mother went to the gym with a few friends to learn dancing.
Zheng Tan entered the master bedroom, pushed the door shut, jumped up, flipped the door lock, and locked it. In the bedroom, Father Jiao was already sitting at the desk waiting.
Father Jiao was already accustomed to Zheng Tan's series of actions after he entered the door. He didn't even raise his eyes. After Zheng Tan jumped on the table, Father Jiao closed the folder in his hand.
"Xiao Guo came over today and talked about filming a canned cat commercial. I didn't agree immediately. It depends on what you think." Dad Jiao said and handed a document to Zheng Tan.
What is written on the document is about the canned cat advertisement that Xiao Guo mentioned today, as well as the follow-up situation and interest analysis that Jiao's father deduced based on what Xiao Guo said.
Zheng Tan took a look and saw that Xiao Guo and his family produced a kind of canned cat. Many cat owners on campus bought this kind. It was relatively cheap and convenient. The most important thing was that it could withstand the quality inspection. Originally, Xiao Guo
I had been preparing to promote this canned cat for a long time, but the SARS epidemic ruined the original plan. Now I have finally recovered and am ready to restart the plan. However, the establishment of a pet center in the store has made Xiao Guo's money tight, and it is even more difficult.
Eager to make a fortune from this canned cat.
Although there are very few pet food advertisements on TV in mainland China, Zheng Tan only learned after coming here that there is also a demand for pet food, and there are many potential customers. With economic development, the pace of urban life is getting faster and faster, and people themselves
There is no time to take care of it. Even if you want to raise a cat, you have to figure out how to feed it.
Zheng Tan considers himself to have no financial acumen. He did and still does not have any economic acumen, but he believes that if this matter is done well, he can indeed make a fortune.
Zheng Tan doesn't eat cat food. He eats the same food as the Jiao family. After turning into a cat, Zheng Tan is most fortunate to have a stronger stomach. Moreover, filming an advertisement does not necessarily mean eating cat food.
Seriously speaking, shooting a simple advertisement is really nothing to Zheng Tan. After all, it is just an advertisement for pet food. According to the document, the communication channel is only the Internet at the beginning. If the effect on the Internet is obvious, there will definitely be more.
There is a follow-up.
This first advertisement is definitely relatively simple. Let it be put out to test the waters. Zheng Tan knows the reason why Xiao Guo approached Zheng Tan. Money is tight, so save when you can. Foreigners spend a lot of money filming a "Cat and Dog War"
Even though Xiao Guo had to consume tons of food to shoot a commercial to test the waters, it would definitely consume some of it. Of course, this was a situation where he was looking for other cats, and Zheng Tan was completely different here.
Zheng Tan looked at the document and was thinking about the pros and cons. Dad Jiao said: "You don't have to make a decision right away. I told Xiao Guo that you can reply within three days."
Hearing that he had three days to think about it, Zheng Tan was not in a hurry. His current status really required more thought.
As soon as Zheng Tan put down the documents, he heard someone knocking on the door, not the door, but the door outside.
Father Jiao got up and went to open the door. Zheng Tan didn't go over immediately, but kept his ears open to listen to the goings on in the living room.
The voice belonged to the otaku who lives across the street. He belongs to the family of a teaching staff, and his parents are both school teachers. That guy lives at home almost all day, and usually likes to wear T-shirts with designs such as StarCraft, Spider-Man, Star Wars, and... SpongeBob SquarePants.
I wash my clothes once a week, even in the summer. I wonder if mushrooms will grow on that guy’s clothes if they are piled up for a week in the summer.
Hearing the voice, the other person seemed a little embarrassed. Zheng Tan jumped off the desk and walked to the door of the room to take a look. The other person was twisting the lunch box with one hand and scratching his head with the other hand.
"Brother Jiao, I want to borrow your cat. The mice over there are almost becoming sperms. I haven't caught any of the mousetraps I bought. I've been worried to death these days. Do you think you can use it when it's convenient?"
,Uh, can you, um, borrow the cat?"
Zheng Tan despised him. He vividly remembered that one day last month, this guy boasted to Jiao Yuan that he didn't have a single mouse in his house. However, the next day Zheng Tan heard the other party wailing that the network cable had been chewed and he was buying rat-catching stickers.
, bought mouse traps again, and tried almost all other methods except rat poison. Zheng Tan thought about it, could it be that rats in universities generally have high IQs?
However, Zheng Tan thought again that after he turned into a cat, he really hadn't caught mice. There had never been mice in the Jiao family. Zheng Tan wasn't sure if it was because of him, but if he was asked to catch mice now, he really did.
There's no way to start. It's not that he's afraid, Zheng Tan even caught mice in middle school to scare the female classmates in the class, but after all, cats and people are different.
Zheng Tan looked down at his cat's paws and expressed that he was very troubled.
Dad Jiao had already finished talking to the other party over there, closed the door, walked back to the room and waved to Zheng Tan, "Can you catch mice?"
Zheng Tan was silent and motionless.
After a while, Zheng Tan heard Father Jiao say: "Let's go and give it a try."
Try it? Where to try it? How to try it? Zheng Tan was confused.
Father Jiao took the keys and a twist bag, told Jiao Yuan and called Zheng Tan to go out.
Zheng Tan took Father Jiao's small electric car out of the Dong family compound. Looking at the familiar path, Zheng Tan knew roughly where he was going. However, Zheng Tan was not sure how to try it. His strength
It was larger than an average cat, and Zheng Tan felt that his strength could be even greater. In a year and a half, he might be able to approach the strength of an average adult.
However, being strong does not mean that he can catch mice. Since he doesn't like cats very much, Zheng Tan doesn't know how a normal cat catches mice, so he has never paid attention to it.
Just as I was thinking about it, the little electric car had arrived at its destination—School of Life Sciences, Chuhua University.
As an associate professor at the School of Life Sciences of Chuhua University, Dad Jiao spends most of his time here during the day, except when he goes home for dinner.
After parking the small electric car, Dad Jiao shook the bag in his hand. Zheng Tan curled his lips and jumped in. It is not a cat that can walk around casually in the biology building. It is not good to be seen.
Then, Associate Professor Jiao twisted the bag containing the cat and walked in from the main entrance of the Biology Building. He calmly greeted the people coming and going around him. When he got to the stairs, there was no one there. Many people were used to taking the elevator.
Zheng Tan poked his head out of the bag and looked outside. At seven o'clock in the evening, there were still a lot of people staying in the Institute of Biological Sciences. The lights were on in each laboratory. Zheng Tan could see all the people on the other side through the windows at the stairs.
The UV sterilization lamp lights up in the bacterial chamber.
I remember that Zheng Tan was very nervous when he was first brought in by Jiao Yuan and the others, but after a few times, Zheng Tan calmed down. Zheng Tan was thankful countless times that the family that adopted him was not a Frankenstein family.
Father Jiao’s office is on the second floor, an independent office. Father Jiao is one of the few associate professors in the Chuhua University Academy of Sciences who has an independent office. When Mother Jiao is busy, Jiao Yuan and the others will come here to do homework or sleep.
During the afternoon nap, Zheng Tan would sometimes come with him, but every time he would do so secretly, either hiding in his schoolbag or being wrapped in clothes and brought in.
Father Jiao went into the office and got a bunch of keys, then carried Zheng Tan up the stairs to the fourth floor. There was no one in the corner of the fourth floor, and Zheng Tan had never been here before.
The sound of Father Jiao's footsteps was particularly clear in the quiet corridor. The voice-activated lights in the corridor turned on, and Zheng Tan saw the house numbers on the doorways of the surrounding rooms.
No wonder there aren't many people here. This place is basically stocked with goods, equipment, medicines, etc. But...
Zheng Tan moved his nose and smelled the scent of some kind of creature.
Dad Jiao stopped in the room on the far side, took the key and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, a creaking sound sounded.
Even if the light was relatively dim, Zheng Tan could clearly see the layout inside.
There are several empty cages next to it, and the cages for feeding the mice are placed in the back room. There is a small experimental table and shelves near the door.
Dad Jiao turned on the light, put the bag on the experimental table, and said to Zheng Tan: "Wait here for a while, don't run around, don't touch things in the laboratory, there are a lot of medicines."
