After the competition, Xia Yiqing, who had calmed down, found another problem.

And this newly discovered problem arises in the material of the crib, a very critical place.

The material used in this crib is completely wood, and no other materials are used, but the problem is that the requirements for wood are extremely high, and ordinary wood cannot meet the conditions.

Because, this kind of crib has achieved the ultimate in many details, and the practicality is also very high, the general wood can not bear this design, if it is used for a long time, there may be damage, fracture, etc., only the extremely high quality wood can perfectly carry the design of this crib.

Judging from the design of the crib and the conditions required, Xia Yiqing feels that there is only one kind of wood that is suitable, that is, rosewood, and even the need to use small-leaved rosewood can be perfectly built in accordance with the standards of this crib.

It's just that rosewood, especially small-leaved rosewood, is not an ordinary wood, it is truly comparable to gold.

At present, the price of one ton of ordinary quality small-leaved red sandalwood is 800,000 to 1.2 million yuan, and the price of high-quality small-leaved red sandalwood is more than 1.5 million yuan per ton.

If you do it according to Xia Yiqing's idea, of course, I hope that the baby bed can be completed with very high quality small leaf red sandalwood, which requires a ton of small leaf red sandalwood of more than 1.5 million yuan to create a baby bed.

Even if it is calculated according to 1.5 million yuan a ton, a ton is 1,000 kilograms, the average kilogram of pterocarpus is 1,500 yuan, and the weight of a crib is about 30 kilograms.

However, as a designer, Xia Yiqing knows very well that the weight of the crib does not represent the weight of the wood used, the actual consumption of wood is far more than the weight of the product itself, and how much wood needs to be consumed depends on the utilization rate of the wood itself.

As far as she knows, the utilization rate of small-leaved red sandalwood is not high, or the utilization rate of mahogany is not high, about 30%, or even lower.

This means that a crib weighing 30 kilograms, the actual consumption of wood will be 100 kilograms, that is, 100 kilograms of small-leaf red sandalwood need to be used, at a price of 1,500 yuan a kilogram, that is, 150,000 yuan.

That's right, the price of a crib is 150,000 yuan, and this is just the cost of materials, not counting the cost of labor and equipment.

It can be said that in the case of not counting the design fee, the actual cost of this crib made of small leaf red sandalwood may reach 200,000 yuan, or even higher, and the price is far more than 200,000 yuan.

For a crib with a production cost of 200,000 yuan, if the retail price in the market is only four or five hundred thousand, it is actually a very fair price, and sometimes it is possible to multiply it several times.

Therefore, Xia Yiqing will pay attention to the issue of materials, which is a very critical issue.

For her, the rosewood needed to build a crib is of course available, which is no problem at all, Longxin Furniture Company itself is the production of furniture, all kinds of wood is naturally not lacking, even if it is a small leaf of rosewood, it can still be taken out, not to mention, hundreds of kilograms is still no problem.

Even if she doesn't use the wood of Longxin Furniture Company, Xia Yiqing can go to Xiaoye Rosewood to create a crib material, then she can still find a way.

It's just that the wood used to make a crib is easy to solve, but if it is a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, or even more rosewood that is needed for a crib, it is a large amount, and it is not so easy to get.

Of course, the problem of materials is never a problem, as long as there is a market, even if more materials are needed, it can still be solved.

But the biggest problem is that the procurement cost of this material is too high, and this will lead to the final price of the material will reach a very high level, even if it is calculated according to 400,000 yuan, not most families can easily get it, only a few rich families have this consumption level.

The most important thing is that these rich families can easily spend hundreds of thousands to buy a big bed, a sofa, or even millions of furniture, which is no problem, but there are very few people who are willing to spend 400,000 yuan to buy a crib.

After all, a crib is not the same as furniture such as a sofa or a large bed, the latter can be used for a long time, but the former is not used for a long time.

When the baby grows up, there is a good chance that the crib will not be used.

In this case, even if there is a consumer with this consumption level, it is very likely that they are reluctant to spend hundreds of thousands to buy a crib, which is also very reasonable, thousands of a crib will be bought by many people, a hundred or twenty thousand cribs, not without a market, but tens of thousands of cribs, sales are very small, if it is hundreds of thousands of cribs, this market is even smaller, willing to spend hundreds of thousands of families to buy cribs, must be very few, belonging to the market is very few.

Therefore, Xia Yiqing believes that after this kind of crib is launched on the market, it may be very popular with consumers, but because of the problem of high prices, it is very likely that there are not many people who actually buy it.

This is the problem, she originally planned that after the launch of this kind of crib on the market, it could have high sales and create a lot of profits for Longxin Furniture Company, but now, it is basically impossible to have high sales.

Of course, Xia Yiqing did not think about changing to other cheaper wood to build a crib, and at least the cost should be controlled below tens of thousands.

It's just that she thought about it for a long time and considered many kinds of wood, and finally had to give up the idea.

Because, Xia Yiqing found that this kind of crib, except for the small leaf red sandalwood, other wood is not so suitable, if you insist on using other wood, it will lead to changes in some places, so as to ensure the quality, but these places, even if there are only small changes, will destroy the overall beauty, will not give people a stunning sense of beauty, and even will be reduced to an ordinary crib.

In this way, she can only be sure of one thing, that is, this kind of crib can only be made of rosewood, and other woods are not suitable.

However, no matter what, no matter how high the production cost of this kind of crib is, Xia Yiqing has to find a way to create it, and she must also participate in the furniture design competition, even if it cannot be mass-produced, she must do so, and she can't miss the competition.

Even if it can't be mass-produced, the sales volume is destined to be very low, but as long as you participate in the competition and get the ranking, it can also increase the popularity of Longxin Furniture Company.

In this way, even if this kind of crib can not bring actual profits to Longxin Furniture Company, it can also promote the sales of other products, which is also indirectly for Longxin Furniture Company to bring benefits, which are also a lot of benefits.

So, no matter what, Xia Yiqing now has to find a way to produce this kind of crib, and then participate in the furniture design competition as an entry.
