In fact, Zhou Ming has not only become the key target of King James.

He has also become the focus of many families.

On the one hand, after defeating Martin, we should pay attention to his individual strength.

On the other hand, focus on his vast financial resources...focus.

Because after the opening of the "Menglan" clothing store, those fashionable, lightweight, comfortable, gorgeous and beautiful clothes sold like crazy in the royal capital.

Every noble lady would be embarrassed to go out to meet people or attend high-class banquets if she did not keep up with the fashion trends and buy a few new clothes from "Menglan Clothing Store".

Especially the "Underwear Series" recently launched by Menglan Clothing Store, not only women are crazy, but men are even crazier.

As for the sales of this clothing store one month after its opening, it is conservatively estimated to be at least one million gold coins!

This is a number that makes countless families jealous.

And that magic cake shop has a monthly net profit of about 100,000 gold coins.

And these shops are nothing compared to the potential profits generated by that boy's preparation of medicines.

Producing 1,000 bottles of [Soothing Potion] per day, what is the concept?

When these families received this information, they were all stunned at first.

Then various ideas popped up.

Some people think this is a threat and think he should be eradicated!

Some people feel that this is an opportunity and they should seize the opportunity and cooperate with that kid.

There are still some people who are quite conflicted about whether it is better to eliminate this threat or seize this opportunity.

These three groups of people can be divided into "haters", "cooperators" and "wait-and-see".

Who are the haters?

The typical representative is Martin, and the Hewlett family behind Martin.

The reason for the hatred was that he was hit too hard in the face, and now the Hewlett family has become a joke to the upper echelons of the kingdom.

Naturally, the disgraced Hewlett family hated Zhou Ming deeply.

Who are the cooperators?

The Torres family behind female classmate Betty.

This family can be said to have made a lot of money through the cooperation project of "Menglan Clothing Store".

And he also saw a road to wealth with unlimited money possibilities.

Because of Zhou Ming's invention of hydraulic looms, manual sewing machines and other machinery, the Torres family's clothing-making efficiency increased by more than ten times.

The clothes they make can be hundreds or thousands of pieces in a batch. As long as there are enough raw materials, tailors can make tens of thousands of pieces every month according to the clothing specifications and styles.

Costs have been reduced and efficiency has been greatly improved.

And with so much clothing, the Yadud Kingdom would definitely not be able to digest it. Zhou Ming proposed the "Clothing Export Plan", asking the Torres family to increase efficiency and production, first occupy the markets of surrounding kingdoms, and then occupy the clothing market of the entire continent.

As for sales, there is no need to worry. These fashionable, comfortable, beautiful and inexpensive clothing will definitely sweep the clothing markets of various countries.

If he continues to develop on the path he planned, the Torres family will surely be as rich as the country in the future.

The Torres family, who had tasted great benefits and saw bright money, learned that Zhou Ming was also a talented mid-level pharmacist.

The top brass of the Torres family had other ideas.

In other words, she wanted to win over his ideas.

They invited Zhou Ming over and had several banquets. They expressed their admiration for his eloquence and knowledge. They had a very good impression. He is a talented person!

Many of the words he said made the top management of the Torres family dumbfounded many times, and they were shocked by his long-term plans.

In front of this kid, the Torres family, which has existed for thousands of years, is as rigid and outdated as a frog in a well.

Then of course there is cooperation, more in-depth cooperation between the two parties.

Knowing that Zhou Ming is a scion of the Leilin family, the Torres family even said that as long as the Torres family has the ability, they will definitely help rescue the Leilin family.

In addition, when he was at school, Zhou Ming was also surprised to find that Betty, a female classmate who was originally arrogant and as beautiful as a swan, suddenly became enthusiastic towards him, a "toad", and took the initiative to talk to him many times. He approached him, chatted with him, and gave him an unprecedented gift - a suit of well-tailored clothes.

How is this going?

Female classmate Betty, why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?

She also occasionally blushes to herself, looking shy...even though it's very fake.

Of course, Zhou Ming quickly understood the reason for these extremely abnormal things, and admired the Torres family's long-term vision.

"As expected of a professional businessman family, they have a very unique and keen eye for high-value things. They started to woo me hard before I fully prospered."

“Even female classmate Betty was taught success by them.”

"Awesome, very awesome!"

And not only Betty, but also her female classmate Lilith has become quite enthusiastic towards him recently.

She even went to him and said: Her grandfather agreed with her to increase the number of magic cake shops, supported her in sending people to open branches abroad, and gave Zhou Ming a certain amount of shares.

Of course, there was one thing Lilith didn't say, and that was that her grandfather told her to have a good relationship with Leylin.

Suddenly, the Rudolf family, which had always been at odds with the Leylin family, actually became a "collaborator".

Zhou Ming could only sigh at this: Interest is really a magical thing. As long as there are enough interests, he will be the most determined and stubborn opponent, and his attitude will change dramatically.

In addition to the Torres and Rudolf families, there are about 30 other families who also belong to the "cooperation faction".

Yes, these 30 families are exactly the families behind brother No. 30 in the "Brotherhood" founded by Zhou Ming.

These families are the sources of some medicinal materials for the Brno Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce, and are also partners of the Yadud Kingdom's "pharmaceutical export industry" in the future... Some of them can establish medicinal material planting bases, some can become secondary dealers, and some Responsible for security and transportation services...these families have work to do.

Naturally, these families can all get a share of the "pharmaceutical export industry".

However, most of these families are middle- and lower-class families, mostly viscounts and barons. There are only four or five earls, and their influence and territory are not very large.

But it doesn’t matter, there is another heavyweight partner among the “cooperators”:

royal family.

The royal family, which has invested almost everything in the "pharmaceutical export industry", has become the most important member of the "cooperation faction".

For example, the royal family took the initiative to invest 1 million gold coins in the construction cost of the "Pharmaceutical Preparation Factory"... And 1 million gold coins almost cost the royal family all their money.

You must know that the annual maintenance fee of the Kingdom's Royal Guards (the most loyal and only army loyal to the king) is only about 1 million gold coins.

It can be said that Zhou Ming now has the expectations of many people and families.

The expectation of getting rich.

There are also many families who have some expectations for him, but do not think he is very reliable and have concerns about the Leylin family. Naturally, they have become the so-called "wait-and-see faction"... Even with the Magic Cake Shop and Menglan Clothing Despite the store's successful cases, the wait-and-see faction still occupies the majority.

They still want to continue to observe and see how much trouble the servant son of the Leylin family can cause?

So, what about Zhou Ming himself?

What plans does he have for himself?

Saying that he really likes farming to make money, does he really have to struggle with these things every time he experiences a dungeon?

of course not.

He didn't want to go to such trouble.

He also wanted to spend more time studying magic and become powerful as soon as possible.

but……

Humans are social animals.

No matter how powerful an individual is, he cannot conquer the entire continent of Azeroa.

What's more, the opponents he may face are unimaginably powerful.

How can we do it without helpers?

How can you do it without the support of a huge force behind you?

After all, he still has a long way to go before he wants to become a Dharma God. If he wants to go smoothly during this period, he must make many friends.

There is also a lot of money.

Finally, an invincible force was integrated.

This process is roughly similar to the process of clearing the copy "Lingyuan Continent"...it takes about 300 years.

Of course, in order to reduce the time and energy he had to devote, Zhou Ming also adjusted some of his practices.

He is ready to change his identity as "leader" into "main guide".

He doesn't know how to be a king, emperor, or head of state, ruling hundreds of millions of subjects. That would be too tiring, and he wouldn't have much time to practice.

He hopes to be a "leader" and guide others to do something according to his plan through profit. Using the unstoppable power of historical trends, he will be the "mastermind behind the scenes" and only need to exert his strength at critical moments. You don’t have to take everything into your own hands.

In addition, the technological level of this plane actually far exceeds that of "Lingyuan Continent". Products of magical technology such as magic phones and magic networks have already appeared and have a large amount of technical reserves. This eliminates the need for Zhou Ming to lead people to develop A lot of time, just enter those magic institutions and master those technologies and talents.

Therefore, Zhou Ming believes that the difficulty of clearing this dungeon is actually much lower than that of "Lingyuan Continent" due to proper methods and strategies.

…

A few more days passed.

Since Lina had to take care of things at Menglan Clothing Store and couldn't spare time, there was no maid to take care of the apartment, and there was no one to clean and cook, which was very inconvenient.

Zhou Ming went to the slave market and planned to buy two orc maids.

Orc maid?

What’s up with this new vocabulary?

In fact, Zhou Ming did not expect that orcs also existed in the human world. After all, the two races had been fighting on the border for millions of years, and they had long had a blood feud with each other.

But orcs do exist, and there are many of them.

Some are orc slaves, mostly men... derived from war captives.

There are also some orc maids, basically women... derived from the greed of the slave catching team and the strong demand of the human nobles, as well as the human trade between the human merchants and the orc tribe.

In short, among the human aristocracy, it is quite common to purchase domesticated and professionally trained orc maids.

When Zhou Ming was a guest of the Torres family, he saw two cat maids and felt very strange.

Pompi, the head of the Torres family, also said: These cat maids can not only make beds, cook, and clean, but they can also warm the owner's bed and provide various services, which has a unique alien flavor.

Zhou Ming immediately became interested in the other party's "you know" look.

Not long after that, he went to the slave market the next day and brought his assistant Henry with him.
