For the crib, the old carpenter gave a very high evaluation.

However, the old carpenter is not Huang Po selling melons, what he said is the design and materials of the crib, and does not talk about craftsmanship.

In the eyes of the old carpenter, this crib is indeed very good, not only very beautiful in appearance, but also very practical, in many details have been done to the extreme, even the well-informed old carpenter, is full of praise for the crib.

With the introduction of the old carpenter, Su Rui and Xia Yiqing both felt that this kind of crib would be very popular after entering the market.

Next, Xia Yiqing asked, "How much does this crib weigh, and how much wood is used?"

This is a very important issue, the amount of wood used in furniture will be directly related to the cost of furniture, especially the more expensive the raw materials of furniture, the higher the proportion of the total cost.

"This crib is about 30 kilograms, and the wood consumed is probably less than 50 kilograms. The old carpenter replied that it was the data he had written down.

As a professional carpenter, the weight of each piece of furniture, as well as the wool consumed, the old carpenter will record it, try to remember all aspects of the data clearly, this is considered professionalism, which is why he can answer right now.

Hearing this, Xia Yiqing's eyes couldn't help but widen a little, and she looked quite surprised: "You said that only 50 kilograms of wood were consumed. ”

No wonder Xia Yiqing is so surprised, because the actual utilization rate of mahogany is not high, there are many steps in the process of making furniture, such as the first step, after drying the water, it will lose 15%, and the flat saw will lose 8% on average, planing will also lose about 8%, and carving will lose 18% of the wood, and after the splitting damage and white fat are all removed, this part accounts for about 20%.

In this way, when mahogany is made into furniture, the weight is only about 31% of the raw material, that is, about 30%.

One ton of mahogany, the final made of furniture, the weight is only 300 kilograms, the actual utilization rate is only thirty percent, the loss rate can be said to be very high, most of the mahogany is like this, the same is true of the small leaf red sandalwood.

Xia Yiqing believes that purple wood is a mutant variety of small-leaved red sandalwood, which naturally belongs to mahogany, and the performance of purple wood is indeed consistent with mahogany.

Therefore, she thinks that the actual utilization rate of purple wood should be the same as that of red sandalwood, and other mahogany are the actual utilization rate of 30%, and even as a new variety of mahogany, the actual utilization rate of less than 30% is normal.

In such a situation, Xia Yiqing has always thought that the wood consumed by a 30-kilogram crib should be about 100 kilograms.

So, after hearing the old carpenter say that only fifty kilograms of wood were used for the crib, she was so surprised that she felt incredulous, and in her subconscious, thought that it was impossible to do.

For a 30-kilogram crib, only 50 kilograms of wood are used, which is 60% of the utilization rate, which is much higher than the 30% utilization rate of mahogany.

Sixty percent and three percent, this utilization rate has doubled, such a big increase, of course, it is very surprising, not only Xia Yiqing is very surprised, but even the old carpenter who made the crib by himself was a little unbelievable when he calculated this data, so that he repeatedly confirmed it several times.

After hearing Xia Yiqing's question, the old carpenter said with certainty: "Yes, I only used less than 50 kilograms of wood, and the weight of the crib did reach 30 kilograms, sixty percent of the utilization rate, in fact, this is the first time I used this wood to make furniture, but also the first time to make this kind of crib, the experience is somewhat insufficient, if you make it many times, you can also improve the utilization rate, and use some of the wood to make furniture or accessories, the utilization rate can even reach more than eighty." ”

After all, some wood can not be used in the crib, it does not mean that it cannot be used on other furniture, it can also be made into jewelry, which can be regarded as the best use of things, and naturally it can be counted into the utilization rate, and it can also make the utilization rate of purple wood reach more than eighty.

Originally, the utilization rate of sixty percent had already made Xia Yiqing feel unbelievable, but now when she heard the figure of eighty percent, she was even more deeply shocked.

It's just that although she thinks that the utilization rate of eighty percent is too unbelievable, out of trust in the old carpenter's craftsmanship and knowing that he will not say some false data on this kind of thing, she naturally chooses to believe it.

It is precisely because Xia Yiqing believes in this data that he will be shocked by it, and if he doesn't believe it, he will naturally not have any reaction.

Eighty percent of the utilization rate, which is higher than many wood, other varieties of wood, can not do this utilization rate, and the small leaf red sandalwood can not do this, this utilization rate is more than twice that of small leaf red sandalwood.

The higher the utilization rate of wood, the less material used, and the lower the cost.

At first, Xia Yiqing thought that the utilization rate of purple wood was about thirty percent, but now she knows that the utilization rate of purple wood has reached eighty percent, which means that the production cost of the crib can be reduced by at least half.

If the production cost is reduced by half, it means that the market retail price can also be reduced a lot, even if it is not half, it will reduce the price a lot.

With the advantage of this crib, the lower the retail price in the market, the higher the sales volume, and it is still a geometric growth, if the price can be reduced by half, the sales volume will not only double as simple, it is possible that the sales volume will increase directly by five times, ten times is very possible.

Therefore, after hearing the utilization rate of eighty percent, Xia Yiqing was a little excited, she can now foresee how much benefit this kind of crib will bring to Longxin Furniture Company, and the prospect is getting better and better.

The old carpenter explained: "The main reason is that the waste of this wood is less, such as white bark, insect eyes, rotten hearts and other parts, and the other back accounts for two percent of the total weight, and the waste part of this wood is not even half of one, only 3%, 4%, and other steps, also than other mahogany varieties, to save materials, so that can achieve sixty percent, or even more than eighty percent of the utilization rate." ”

Hearing these explanations, Xia Yiqing also accepted this data, and she believed that the crib made by Zimu would definitely be a great success.

Now, she is more confident that Longxin Furniture Company can avoid the fate of being acquired, and she is confident that she will impress shareholders to change their attention and no longer sell Longxin Furniture Company, but continue to support the development of Longxin Furniture Company.

And Xia Yiqing's confidence comes from the crib made of purple wood in front of her, which brings her enough hope, and she sees a lot of hope in it.
