Golden autumn in October.

After a bumper harvest of barley in farmland and apples in orchards.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the "First Free Trade Union Congress" to be held in Gran, Zhou Ming personally took the messenger to travel to 72 members of the Free Trade Union, and basically invited the barons and earls from these territories (the lord would send an important representative if he could not come) to attend this significant congress.

Before this, after Zhou Ming drew the design drawings, he took his servants to sort out the inside and outside the castle.

First, after scraping off many moss gray spots on the exterior walls of the castle, the exterior wall was painted with pigment lime, and the whole body was painted into a warm yellow that emitted soft light; the uneven walls in the interior were all smoothed with cement, and then a layer of white was scraped, and the indoor light became brighter immediately; the brick and stone floor of the corridor bedroom was laid with a layer of mahogany floor, and another layer of anti-slip carpet.

Then, the real highlight came. In addition to the living room and bedroom where he lived, in the hundreds of guest rooms prepared for the representatives of the business league conference, Zhou Ming replaced them with dozens of new furniture produced by the furniture workshop. When the representatives of the business league moved into these guest rooms, he dared to make a promise for one night. The delegates who attended the conference were destined to be reluctant to leave if they didn’t buy a few sets of furniture.

At the end of October, the agreed meeting date has arrived.

The members and lords of the Free Trade Alliance came to Glen.

Those who arrived a few days in advance were naturally the three barons who were the first to join the business alliance, including Yoken, Nathan and Patton.

As soon as these three barons stepped into the newly decorated castle, whether they had good or poor psychological quality, whether they had broad knowledge or poor cognition, the three barons were like local buns deep in the mountains. They suddenly came to the central commercial street of the bustling city, as if time and space had occurred, and were completely shocked by the layout of the living room in front of them.

The flat and flawless white walls, the mahogany floor with glossy texture, the white and soft square wool blanket, the sofa chair with weird shape, the low roots but makes people want to lie on it, the coffee table with simple structure and practical functions, the high-end utensils placed in the lattice cabinet beside the wall, and the silver-plated candlesticks hanging on the top of the ceiling... In the living room, except for the fireplace, the other layouts have undergone earth-shaking changes.

If the three barons want to enter the living room, they have to take off their stinky shoes and boots with the help of their servants, change into slippers, and also change their armor that shakes off the iron filings at any time, go to the bathroom on the third floor of the castle, and rub a comfortable hot shower under the servants' service, then change into a loose and comfortable home uniform and walk around the castle.

For three consecutive days, the three barons who moved into the castle in advance remained silent on the castle's facilities and did not express any comments.

This made Zhou Ming very surprised. He had expected them to show their amazement... He had to ask the three barons at the sumptuous dinner on the third day, what other opinions would they have on the living facilities of the castle.

"No objection, good, all are very good!"

Baron Howard was consuming the steak from the silver plate, thinking to himself that after returning to his territory, he must have a more comfortable living environment than this!

"Dear Edward, you're doing it so well here. I'm not used to it. The chairs you sit on are too soft. After sitting for a long time, the back pain is hurt. The bed at night is too smooth, and there is no thing to put under it. It's not too comfortable to sleep, but it's too clean. If you want to go and make it convenient, you have to run to a toilet far away and sit in that name. Yes! On the toilet, you have to pull down the rope to flush after it's convenient... It's so troublesome."

To be honest, Baron Sean began to complain. He felt that the various residential facilities of the castle were not bad, but it was too troublesome to use.

"Knight Edward, I have no objection. I have to say that the bathhouse on the third floor of the castle is really good. I have to go to soak in every day. When I go back, I will also build one in my castle."

Baron Romon gave a thumbs up and said, living in the cold north, he took a big bath twice a year. He was the first time he came to visit Gran and took a visit to the bathhouse for a long time. After using a hard bristle brush to remove the dirt on his body, he found that he was floating around while walking, and gradually became obsessed with the feeling of taking a bath.

Zhou Ming, who didn't hear a word he wanted to hear the answer, was very disappointed and stopped beating around the bush and asked them directly: "What do you think of the various furniture in the castle? If I take out these styles of furniture to sell, do you think it can be sold?"

The words were finished.

Howard raised his head with a "quiet" and said, "Why can't you sell it? I'll give me a set of all the furniture in this castle! But don't sell it too expensively, it's up to 100 gold coins per set. The furniture sold by tourists is almost the same as the price. Don't kill me."

Hearing this, Baron Sean was anxious and immediately spoke out: "Mr. Howard, how can the furniture sold by travelers be compared with the furniture here? The furniture of travelers are made of ordinary oak. The worst furniture here is made of red pine wood, and some are made of precious wood. Whether it is materials, craftsmanship, or quality, they are much better! The sofa chairs we sat on were covered with thick fur, and the fur on them were more than 1,000 gold coins, and at most, we bought a small wooden chair."

"Knight Edward, how much does your furniture cost? My Parton was robbed by the savages a few months ago. It cost a lot of money to rebuild the territory. If the furniture you sell is too expensive, I can only buy a little."

Baron Romon said that he originally wanted to buy two sets of furniture to decorate the castle, but was startled by Baron Sean's price for a set of thousands of gold coins. After thinking about it, he still gave up the idea and bought a few cheaper and comfortable chairs to sit back.

Hahaha.

Zhou Ming burst into laughter.

He was just worried that furniture sales would become a problem, so he was not worried at all at this time and said to them with a smile: "Don't worry, I will give you a discounted price. A set of fur sofas will not exceed 500 gold coins, a carved bed will not exceed 300 gold coins, and a set of tables and chairs will not exceed 100 gold coins. However, you were the first to join the Merchant Alliance. I can give you another 50% off on the basis of this discounted price. You should be able to afford it now, right?"

In fact, excluding the salary expenses of craftsmen, the fur exchanged for food and the wood cut from the surrounding areas of the territory, at most it is labor consumption. The actual cost of these furniture, after entering mass production, generally dropped to 10-50 gold coins (there are many gold and silver minerals in this world, 1 gold coin = 50 silver coins, an ordinary farmer's family will not exceed 10 gold coins in a year). The external price must of course be above the cost, at least multiplied by ten.

"You can afford it! It's so cheap, there will definitely be many people buying it. Sell me a few sets of furniture first, so don't be snatched away by other lords!"

"Dear son-in-law, except for the bed that I really can't get used to sleeping, I will sell me a set of other furniture. My wife Ailian should like these furniture..."

"Knight Edward, besides furniture, you can arrange another bricklayer and go to Parton to help me design a bathhouse. I need this very much in winter..."

"Okay, yes, yes."

Zhou Ming nodded repeatedly, and looked at the three barons who were so enthusiastic, and felt relieved. There was a chance, and now there should be a chance!

...

A few days later.

The first commercial alliance congress was successfully held.

Sure enough, after more than 70 lords or lord representatives who came to Glentang and moved into the high-end and luxurious castle, they were first deeply shocked, and then they became extremely interested in the various living facilities and furniture in the castle. They learned that Glentang's furniture workshops are currently selling a large number of furniture of the same style as the castle, and they all made one after another. You set up ten sets of sets, twenty sets, and thousands of sets of furniture orders, with the total order amount exceeding 150,000 gold coins.

Not just furniture, during the first commercial league congress, at a large open-air celebration banquet held on the lawn in front of the castle, Zhou Ming asked someone to build a large runway, allowing dozens of outstanding male and female models to wear various fur coats, furs, leather shoes, leather boots, belts and other clothing products produced by the Glen Collar Clothing House. On the runway, a gorgeous fashion show was staged for those merchant league representatives who had their eyes straightened.

On that day, the representatives who came to Glen Collar, changed their clothes from inside to outside, from head to toe, and even bought a few pieces of clothing by generous hands and feet. They not only bought thousands of finished clothing products from Glen Collar Clothing Shop, but after paying more than 60,000 gold coins in cash, they also placed orders for fur clothing of more than 100,000 gold coins. So many orders are enough for the garment makers of the garment workshop to produce at full capacity for one month!

Furniture, fur and clothing, these two types of goods are currently only the two lowest-end products in the industrial chain planned by Zhou Ming, and his large workshop industrial base have only taken a prototype.
Chapter completed!
