Chapter 61 - Industry chain
October golden autumn.
After the bumper harvest of barley in the farmland and apples in the orchard.
Taking the opportunity of the “First Congress of Liberal Business Alliance” to be held in the Grand Collegiate, Zhou Ming personally took the messenger messenger and ran through the 72 members of the Liberal Business Alliance. All invited (the lord will send an important representative if he is not here) to participate in this important congress.
Before that, after Zhou Ming drew the design drawings, he took the servants to clean the inside and outside of the castle.
First, after scraping off many moss gray spots on the outer wall of the castle, the outer wall was painted with lime, and the whole body was painted a warm yellow with soft light; the uneven walls in the room, all smoothed with cement, then After shaving a layer of white, the interior light suddenly brightened; the masonry floor of the corridor bedroom was covered with a layer of mahogany floor, and then a layer of non-slip carpet.
Then, the real highlight came, in addition to the living room and bedroom where he lived, in the hundreds of rooms prepared for the delegates who came to participate in the business alliance conference, Zhou Ming made all the people put on dozens of new furniture produced by the furniture workshop, etc. The representatives of the Shangmeng Hotel lived in these rooms, and he only dared to pack tickets after spending the night. These delegates were doomed to leave without buying a few sets of furniture.
At the end of October, the agreed meeting date has arrived.
Leaders of the Free Business League came to the Grand Collar one after another.
Arrived a few days in advance, of course, the first three barons to join the business alliance Youken collar, Nathan collar, Patton collar.
These three barons, once they stepped into a newly decorated castle, whether they were of good or poor psychological quality, whether they had extensive knowledge or were poor, the three barons, like the buns in the depths of the mountain, suddenly came to the central commercial street of the bustling city. As if time and space traversal occurred, the layout of the living room in front of me was completely shocked.
Flat and immaculate white walls, mahogany floors with glossy textures, white and soft square wool blankets, sofas with weird shapes and low feet that make people want to lie down, simple structure and functional coffee table, lattice cabinets by the wall The high-end utensils placed, silver-plated candlesticks hanging from the top of the ceiling … The living room, except for the fireplace, did not change anything, and other layouts have changed dramatically.
The three barons, if they want to enter the living room, they have to take off their stinky shoes and boots with the help of a servant, put on slippers, and have to change their armor from the iron shavings, and go to the bathroom on the third floor of the castle. After waiting for him, after rubbing a comfortable hot bath, he changed into a loose and comfortable home uniform and walked around the castle.
For three consecutive days, the three barons who lived in the castle in advance kept a consistent silence on the facilities of the castle and did not express any opinion.
This made Zhou Ming very strange, and originally expected their performance to be amazed … I had to ask the three barons at the sumptuous dinner on the third day to have any opinions about the castle’s residential facilities.
“No opinion, very good, very good.”
Baron Howard buried his head and ate the steak on the silver dinner plate, thinking to himself, after returning to his territory, he must come out with a more comfortable living environment than this!
“Dear Edward, you have done a great job here. I am not used to it. The chairs you are sitting on are too soft. The back pain is too long. The bed is too flat for sleeping at night. There is nothing to rest under. It ’s not too comfortable to fall asleep, and it ’s too clean. I want to go to a convenience. I have to go to a toilet in the far away and sit there. What is it called? Yes! Pull the rope over the toilet. Flushing … trouble, it’s too much trouble. “
To tell the truth, Baron Shawn began to vomit, he felt that the various living facilities of this castle could not be said badly, but it was too cumbersome to use.
“Edward Knight, I do n’t have any opinion. I have to say that the bathhouse on the third floor of the castle is really good. I have to take a dip every day. When I go back, I have to repair one in my castle.”
Baron Luo Meng gave a thumbs-up and said that he, who lives in the cold north, rarely takes two big baths a year. For the first time he came to visit Glenn as a guest, he soaked in the bathhouse for a long time and brushed it off with a hard brush After the dirt on his body, he found that he was floating on the walk, and he gradually fell in love with this feeling of bathing.
I did n’t hear Zhou Ming who wanted to hear the answer. I was very disappointed. I did n’t turn around and asked them directly, “What do you think of the various types of furniture in the castle? If I take these styles of furniture, I will sell them for sale , Do you think you can sell it? “
The words fell off.
Howard raised his head “Haw” and said, “Why can’t you sell it? Give me a set of all the furniture in this castle! However, don’t sell it too expensive, up to a set of 100 gold coins, sold by merchants. Furniture is about the same price, don’t kill me. “
Upon hearing this, Baron Sean was anxious and immediately said: “Mr. Howard, how can the furniture sold by the merchants compare with the furniture here? The furniture of the merchants are all made of ordinary oak. The furniture here , The worst is made of red pine wood, and some are made of precious wood, no matter the material, craftsmanship, and quality, they must be a lot better! These are the sofa chairs we are sitting on wrapped in thick fur, above The fur is more than 1000 gold coins, 100 gold coins, buy a maximum of small wooden chairs. “
“Edward Knight, how much would you sell for furniture here? My Patton collar was robbed by savages a few months ago. It took a lot of money to rebuild the territory. If your furniture is too expensive, I can only buy a little bit. “
Baron Romon said that he originally wanted to buy two sets of furniture to decorate the castle, but was shocked by the price of a set of thousands of gold coins from Baron Sean. After thinking about it, he still dispelled the idea and bought a few cheap ones. Click on the comfortable chair to go back.
Hahaha.
Zhou Ming laughed in his heart.
He was just worried that the sales of furniture would be a problem. At this time, he was not worried at all. He smiled and said to them: “Relax, I will give you a preferential price, a set of fur sofas, the price will not exceed 500 gold coins, A carved bed does not exceed 300 gold coins, a set of tables and chairs does not exceed 100 gold coins, but you are the first to join the trade union, I can give you a 50% discount on the basis of this preferential price, You should be able to afford it now? “
In fact, excluding the salary expenses of the craftsmen, the fur in exchange for grain, and the wood cut from the periphery of the territory, the cost is at least some manpower consumption, and the actual cost of these furniture, after entering mass production , Generally dropped to the state of 10-50 gold coins (the world has more gold and silver minerals, 1 gold coin = 50 silver coins, an ordinary farmer family, the annual expenditure will not exceed 10 gold coins), the external price, of course, must be above the cost , At least multiply by ten.
“Affordable! Affordable! Many people will buy it. Sell a few sets of furniture to me first. Don’t be robbed by other lords!”
“Dear son-in-law, except for the bed I am not used to sleeping in, other furniture is sold to me. My wife Aileen should like these furniture …”
“Edward Knight, in addition to furniture, you can arrange a bricklayer and go to Patton to help me design a bathhouse. The kind of hot water in winter, I really need this …”
“Anything, yes, anything.”
Zhou Ming nodded again and again, looking at the three barons who were so enthusiastic, he was relieved in his heart, there was a drama, this time there should be a drama!
Uh …
A few days later.
The first Congress of the Business Alliance was successfully held.
Sure enough, more than 70 lords or lord representatives who came to Grand Collar, after living in a high-end atmosphere and extravagant castle, were first deeply shocked, and then on the various living facilities and furniture in the castle, UU Reading the book www.uukanshu.com has a very strong interest. I learned that the furniture workshop of Grand Collar has a large number of furniture of the same type in the castle that are currently on sale. Set of furniture orders, the total amount of orders, more than 150,000 gold coins.
It ’s not just furniture. During a large open-air celebration banquet held on the lawn in front of the castle during the congress of the first Business League, Zhou Ming let people build a large catwalk, allowing dozens of outstanding male and female models to put on the grid All kinds of fashionable fur coats, furs, leather shoes, leather boots, belts and other apparel products produced by Lanling Garment Factory have staged an unprecedented performance on the T stage for the representatives of the trade unions who have straightened their eyes. Gorgeous fashion show.
On the same day, these delegates who came to the Grand Collar, all over the body, from the inside to the outside, from head to toe, changed their heads and toes. Thousands of finished clothing items of Lanling Garment Factory were sold out, and after paying more than 60,000 gold coins in cash, more than 100,000 gold coins were placed on orders for more than 2,000 pieces of fur clothing. Come on, we are producing at full capacity for a month!
Furniture, fur clothing, these two types of commodities are currently only the lowest-end two types of commodities on the industrial chain planned by Zhou Ming. His large workshop industrial base has only a prototype.
After enough resources (such as grain, meat, coal, iron ore, gold, silver, etc.) are available, a large number of workshops founded around these resources, after deep processing of raw materials, produce a large number of secondary and tertiary High-value-added products are sold to and within the Shangmeng and surrounding territories. After making huge profits, they purchase a large amount of primary raw materials from within or around the Shangmeng, thereby building a complete consumption cycle …
