Pleasure to Do Business with Ya 11 July 2008
In China's Hebei Province, adjacent to the Olympoic city Beijing, there is a little village called Central Pleasure (中乐村); in this pleasant village there is a delightful store. And one day, the store was visited by a special customer who was only one-year old and walked on four legs with a shopping list and a money note stuck on his back. The customer was silent all the time, so the owner of the store silently tore off the list and the note from his back and placed a sausage and a pack of cigarettes into a plastic bag. The customer grabbed the bag with his mouth and quickly ran away without saying a word. And this was the beginning of a seven year long business relationship built on silent mutual understanding between a quiet buyer and a perceptive seller.
Each time after a shopping trip which takes only a few minutes, the consumer would not consume the goods, but hands over the bag to Mr Zen, the head of a household in the village. Yeah, this customer is only a purchase officer of Zen family, and the officer receives his regular payment - a sausage - at the top of his regular meals provided by his employer. This petty officer has a noble name "Princess", and the princess finds pleasure in doing business with a humble village store. Reportedly, the four-legged model worker enjoys his work so much that he has no plan to retire in a forseable future. Good on him!
