Chapter 57: The world is full of knowledge
The style of Song porcelain is no different from that of Song Ci and Song style furniture.
If it is a word, it is actually nothing more than the eight words "to be simple and detailed, to the appointment and to be broad".
As the so-called:
Burn incense and order tea, hang pictures and arrange flowers;
Four kinds of idle things, not to tire the family.
To a certain extent, the Song people can be said to have brought the simple and natural "elegance" to the point of reaching the peak.
And as a native of the Song Dynasty, Gao Fei is naturally deeply influenced by this simple and elegant beauty.
It's okay to be outside on weekdays, he can be with the light.
But now that he has built his own residence, Goofy naturally has to follow his wishes.
After all, after closing the door, this courtyard may be the only place where he can feel at ease in this life.
……
As Yu Bo said before, that Ms. Meng's connections in Panjiayuan are really extraordinary.
Although she doesn't do wood furniture business, after Gao Fei said what she wanted, she quickly contacted a boss who specializes in antique furniture.
The other party is also the store of Panjiayuan, so after a brief chat, the Song boss simply said that he could come over and talk in person.
Hearing this, Gao Fei naturally couldn't ask for it.
So after waiting for more than ten minutes, the two saw a black and fat middle-aged man with a five-short figure and a Tang costume walking in.
Before Song Ping came, he only knew that the buyer was a young man, but now when he looked up, he immediately recognized Gao Fei's star identity.
For a while, I was inevitably surprised.
After all, in his opinion, these young stars now should like those trendy things.
However, when Ms. Meng smiled bitterly and told her embarrassment, Song Pingdang couldn't help but look at Gao Fei with admiration.
It's just that when he learned that Gao Fei wanted a full set of Song-style furniture, Song Ping couldn't help but be a little surprised.
After all, in addition to filming these days, few people are really used to the furniture of the ancients.
Most people just take a fancy to a certain type of Song-style furniture and buy it back for their own use.
It's just that since Gao Fei made this request, he naturally won't have much to do.
So after understanding Gao Fei's thoughts, he asked conveniently:
"Mr. Gao, I don't know what you want from this wood?"
As he spoke, he laughed and joked to himself:
"If you fall in love with the golden silk nanmu, then I can't make up a set of furniture even if I hollow out the old bottom!"
Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but laugh for a while.
After all, golden silk nanmu has been a rare treasure since ancient times, and no matter how confused he is, he will not want to use it as furniture.
But after a few idle words, Gao Fei still asked in detail about the material and price of the relevant wood.
Song Ping is also a veteran of business, when he took out a bunch of specimen wooden plaques from his pocket and put them in front of Gao Fei.
While explaining the material characteristics of the relevant wood for him, he also introduced the price.
"This is small-leaved red sandalwood, which is characterized by its hard texture, resistance to decay and decay.
Ordinary furniture made of wood can remain immortal for decades at most.
However, most of the small leaf red sandalwood furniture can be maintained for more than a few hundred years, and many antique furniture are handed down from the Ming Dynasty.
Now the market price is almost 50,000 tons. ”
"This is Hainan Huanghuali, the wood color is yellow, the material is fine, the texture is soft, and the fragrance is refreshing.
And the most important thing is that its wood is extremely stable, no matter the cold or heat, it is not deformed, not cracked, not bent, has a certain toughness, and is suitable for all kinds of special-shaped furniture.
The current market price is about 20,000 tons!
It's a big red sour branch......"
Soon, half an hour passed.
After Gao Fei understood the relevant market, he made a decision after a moment of silence in his heart.
So he immediately laughed and joked to himself:
"Forget it, I can't afford to use red sandalwood, so I can only use some bargains, just Hainan Huanghuali!"
Naturally, this is just a joke.
Although the price of small-leaved red sandalwood is a little more expensive, Gao Fei is not unaffordable.
It's just that according to what Song Ping just said, the small leaf red sandalwood is very afraid of water, and if it is not taken care of a little, it is likely to have swelling and cracking.
Therefore, at present, red sandalwood furniture is mostly used for collection, and there are still great limitations in household furniture.
Therefore, for Gao Fei, Hainan Huanghuali is the most suitable.
Immediately after that, Yu Bo also chose wood.
However, unlike Goofy, he still prefers the small leaf red sandalwood.
It's just that after the two of them chose the furniture and wood, Song Ping provided two ways to trade.
One is to buy the finished furniture directly from him, and the other buyers don't care, and finally pay in kind.
It's just that in this way, the price is naturally much higher.
The other is that the buyer buys the materials, and then Song Ping's furniture factory is responsible for the processing, and he charges a processing fee.
After seeing him say this, Gao Fei and Yu Bo couldn't help but glance at each other suspiciously.
Song Ping seems to have encountered such a situation often, when even smiled and explained the inside story to the two.
……
Originally, when buying wood from the country of origin, it was calculated by weight, but in the furniture processing process, the wood was calculated by the cube.
After all, the price of wood with different densities and materials is also very different.
On top of that, the loss of wood from logs to materials is very high.
When the moisture is dried first, 15% is lost;
After the flat saw, there will be an average loss of 8%;
In planing, 8% is lost;
After the engraving and molding process, about 13% will be lost;
In the end, after all the "cracked white fat" was removed, it was almost 28% lost.
As a result, the actual utilization rate of one ton of wood is only 28%, and sometimes even lower.
In short, if a set of mahogany furniture has a net weight of 100 catties, then it is about 300 catties of logs to be prepared.
Therefore, the reason why Song Ping proposed the second plan is not how kind he is.
It's that he seems to make less money with this plan, but in fact, the risks he needs to take are greatly reduced.
It can be said that it is a drought and flood to ensure harvest!
The first option seems to make a lot of money, but the risks that need to be spent and taken are far more than the second.
After he finished saying these words, Gao Fei and Yu Bo suddenly realized.
So after some discussion, Yu Bo decided to buy two sets of Ming and Qing dynasty style furniture with small leaves of red sandalwood directly from Song Ping.
As for Goofy, he chose the second option.
It's not that you're bold and adventurous.
It was Song Ping who persuaded him to choose this way after understanding the scale of his courtyard.
After all, Goofy can't even determine the final size of the house now, so the amount of furniture is naturally even more difficult to estimate.
Eventually, after some communication.
After Song Ping's suggestion, Gao Fei decided to buy 50 tons of Hainan Huanghuali for preparation, and then buy it if it was not enough.
When everything was negotiated, Goofy and Yu Bo couldn't help but finally breathe a sigh of relief.
