Chapter 1814: [Side Story] chain of contempt

Translator: 549690339 

Several customers looked depressed because they felt that it was too difficult to buy a breed of cat that they liked, while the staff gloated at their misfortune.

Zhang Zian comforted her.”There are real catteries. Of course, it’s hard to find one. I can give you a few hardware references.”

They listened curiously. After all, this was a reference from a competitor of the cattery. It was said that the person who knew you best was not your friend, but your enemy, right?

Zhang Zian counted on his fingers.”First of all, the cattery must be registered with the Industry and Commerce Bureau and must have a formal business license. You can choose not to register with the CFA, you can choose not to register with the TIA, but you must register with the Industry and Commerce Bureau. This is the basic condition for you to operate legally. Secondly, no matter if you are paying the deposit or the final payment, you can’t transfer the money to the other party’s personal WeChat account. You must transfer the money to the other party’s company account. Didn’t you register with the industrial and commercial Bureau? Then you must have a public account. ”

“Once you meet these two conditions, let’s not talk about whether you can buy a satisfactory cat or whether there is a problem with the cat you buy. Once there is a trade dispute, you at least have a place to complain. But if it is a quality dispute, the Industry and Commerce Bureau can’t do anything about it. At most, they can control the situation of the cat being infected with diseases after bringing it home.”

“Third, if you live in a first-tier city like North China, you find a cattery in the same city, but the other party doesn’t let you in. Instead, they ask you to meet at a café near the cattery to discuss the details. You can take note that if the café you meet is within the Fifth Ring Road, you basically don’t expect the other party to raise cats in a single villa. 99% of the time, they will rent a house in a residential area. If you don’t care about this, then it doesn’t matter. ”

“The above three conditions are the hardware conditions, but even if they are met, it still can’t solve the problem of visiting the cat and the deposit. Some catteries allow you to visit the cat after paying the deposit, so try to choose such a cattery … Of course, you can only guarantee that you can see the cat with your own eyes. The deposit will go to waste, or we can continue to wait. ”

“As long as you hand the deposit to the other party, it means that you have given up the right to compare the goods with the other party. It can only be tied to the cattery that you have paid the deposit to. During the waiting period between paying the deposit and picking up the cat, if you meet another cat or hear about the dark history of this cattery and find that this cattery is not as formal as you think, or if your enthusiasm for raising cats has passed and you suddenly don’t want to raise cats anymore, it’s the most difficult time. The bigger the cattery, the more you play with futures. It’s normal to wait for a few months or half a year after paying the deposit. It’s common to wait for a year. ”

Although he was trying to comfort them, the more they listened, the more discouraged they became. Why?

The reason was simple. Theory was theory, but practical application was another matter.

If the seller was strong enough, if you asked to see their business license or to make a public transfer, they could completely ignore you. It was up to you whether you wanted to buy it or not. If you didn’t buy it, there would be others who wanted to buy it. They might even scold you as “troublesome mother.” What could you do?

Nowadays, even if otakus went to the market to buy vegetables, they couldn’t haggle with the vegetable aunties. How could they negotiate with the customer service of the cattery who had met countless people? It was basically a suicide mission.

Forget about the customer service of the cattery, even the customer service of Taobao, which sold ordinary goods, would still treat you like a grandfather before you paid the money, but would not bother to talk to you after you paid the money.

Oh, if the Taobao customer service disdained you, you could at least give a bad review to vent your anger. The cattery doesn’t have a Taobao shop.

On the other hand, no matter how much you criticized the Pet Shop, at least the Pet Shop had always paid for the cat. If there was no cat you liked in this shop, you could just leave and go to another shop. If there was a problem with the cat in this shop, as long as you signed the sales agreement, you could go to the shop and ask for justice. If the owner did not solve it for you, you could put up a banner, sit in front of the shop, or call the industrial and commercial Bureau or 12315, Maybe he could even send the owner to the 315 Gala next year.

As for the cats themselves, most of the cats in the cattery were also secretly kept. A considerable number of cats in the cattery were not in heat naturally but were catalyzed by drugs. Some cattery even secretly bought kittens from pet shops or personal breeders and sold them to customers for several times the price. How would an ordinary consumer know?

All the catteries would claim that they fed the best cat food to the big and small cats, so the customers must also be well-fed. Then I would say that the cats in my shop grew up eating Dragon liver and Phoenix brain. Anyway, you can’t come to my shop and I won’t do a live broadcast, so you can’t refute me.

Every cattery would call themselves a regular cattery, and no one would stick the word “irregular” on their forehead.

It was not something to be proud of, but the chaos was objective. The cattery and the Pet Shop were just the pot calling the kettle black.

Even if the cattery originated from the United States according to the definition of “backyard” for domestic catteries, there were many backyard catteries in the United States.

Not only in the United States, but developed countries like the United Kingdom and Australia had catteries in their backyards that fit the definition. The moon in foreign countries was not always round. Even if you disliked domestic catteries and pet shops and went abroad to buy cats and bring them back, it might not be as you wished.

“This world is full of chains of contempt.”

Zhang Zian suddenly changed the topic that he didn’t seem to want to do.

“The top 2 students despise the 985 students, the 985 students despise the 211 students, the 211 students despise the students from both schools, the students from both schools despise the students from both schools … And the top 2 students are despised by Harvard and Cambridge.”

“Those who watch youbuute despise Bilibili, those who watch Bilibili despise TikTok, and those who watch TikTok despise the fast-handed … And those who watch Pornhub express that the above are all rubbish. You can even learn quantum physics and programming on Bilibili.”

“Those who watch English dramas despised those who watch American dramas, those who watch American dramas despised those who watch Japanese dramas, those who watch Japanese dramas despised those who watch Korean dramas, those who watch Korean dramas despised those who watch Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas … And then, all of these were crushed by the anti-Japanese dramas.”

“People who promote ‘adoption over purchase’ despise people who buy pedigree cats, people who buy cats in cattery despise people who buy cats in pet shops, and people who buy cats in pet shops despise people who buy cats in the flowers, birds, fish, and insect markets … However, some beast King hunters are lucky enough to pick up Ragdoll cats, American Shorthair, and other pedigree cats while walking in the evening. They get pedigree cats without spending a single cent and can also enjoy the pleasure of saving stray cats. They can be called winners in life.”

“Those who make cat food for their cats every day despise those who feed their cats with imported cat food, those who feed imported cat food despise those who feed domestic cat food, and those who feed domestic cat food despise those who feed their cats with leftovers … Not everyone has the money and time to make their own cat food or buy imported cat food. Are the poor not worthy of raising cats?”

At first, everyone thought that Zhang Zian was talking about something irrelevant, but they slowly realized that that was not the case. And this topic … Seemed to contain some deeper things.

If you find that the subject of the essay is to write an 800-word essay about pets, and the topic is self-made, then you can write about pets for the whole essay. If you write well, you may get a high score, but if there is a full-score essay, the concept of the full-score essay must be based on the pet and higher than the pet. At the end of the essay, the theme must be sublimated, and it will cause more profound thinking. This way, you can get the favor of the grading teacher.

“In life, everyone is part of the chain of contempt. If you despise others on this chain, others will despise you on another chain. Even if you are the leader of the country, you will still be despised by the leaders of other countries or the people of other countries. No one can escape from the chain of contempt.”

Zhang Zian looked at the girl in red again. She was finally completely discouraged, because if there were fanatical propagandas of “adoption representatives buying” today, her so-called “cattery loves cats more” theory would still be despised in the eyes of others. People would say,”if you really love a cat, then adopt it.”

Then, would the people who promoted ‘adoption over purchase’ be invincible?

Of course not. Did he or she eat meat? Wear any clothes related to animal products?

As long as you eat meat, even if it’s eggs, even if there’s a strand of hair in your clothes that comes from an animal, you’ll be despised by herbivores. Yingluo, you’re just adopting a few cats, what’s the big deal? How could a frog in the well compare to the righteousness of environmental conservation? What’s the big deal with loving cats? We love nature!

The moral of the cattery was a piece of sh * t in front of the adoption advocates, and the moral of the adoption advocates was a piece of sh * t in front of the vegetarian environmentalist. So, was the vegetarian environmentalist invincible?

Not necessarily, you can’t stand on the moral high ground on every aspect.

The truly invincible ones were the keyboard warriors on the internet. As long as they didn’t reveal their true identity or what they did in real life, they could look down on everything.

Keyboard man graduated from the world’s top two University. He advocated nature and environmental protection. He picked up Ragdoll cats on a walk, made cat food every day, studied hard on the P site, watched anti-Japanese dramas in his spare time, and only went online to play with netizens when he was really bored.

“Both cattery and pet shop are only worthy of being at the bottom of the chain of contempt, but they still want to get rid of each other. From a higher point of view, isn’t it ridiculous? We’re from the same root, so why are we in such a hurry to kill each other?”

This was Zhang Zian’s conclusion.

Several customers, including the girl in red, and several shop assistants were all lost in thought. Everyone had complicated feelings, as if they had just listened to a class that seemed to be learning and debating on the surface, but was actually thinking about life.

The cattery and the Pet Shop, these two enemies who despised each other, were just a small section of the longer chain of contempt. Even if they fought to determine the length and the height, what was the point?

Do what you want to do, be responsible for your own choices, and don’t be bound by morality. No matter how hard you work, you will still be despised by people with higher morality.

There was only one life. Since that was the case, why not just do as he pleased?
