"Director Li, can you part with this old redwood?" Looking at the two-meter-diameter old redwood, Zhang Junping swallowed secretly.
There was only one thought in my mind: I must take down this piece of wood.
Old mahogany is also called rosewood, but it is not Siamese rosewood. Red rosewood generally refers to a large category of wood, including Cochin rosewood, Austen rosewood, Bali rosewood and more than a dozen types of wood.
Old mahogany is just one type of red rosewood, namely Dalbergia australis.
Although it belongs to the Dalbergia genus, the color of old rosewood is purple-red, and its clear and varied texture and fine structure are incomparable to similar rosewood.
Another advantage of old mahogany is that unlike small-leaf rosewood, it is difficult to produce aniseed. Old mahogany has a high chance of producing aniseed, and its density is between small-leaf rosewood and Hainan huanghuali. It has good oiliness and small brown eyes.
, so it is welcomed.
"Um...Director Zhang, I'm very sorry, this old redwood is not for sale.
Before the liberation, several generations of owners wanted to untie it and make it into furniture, but in the end they were unwilling to do it. It stayed like this for more than a hundred years. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, successive factory directors were not willing to untie it. Finally, they simply
It has become the treasure of the woodware factory!" Director Li explained awkwardly.
It’s not that Director Li doesn’t want to sell it, the key is that the former director who defined this old redwood as the treasure of the factory did not retire, but was promoted to the Beijing Light Industry Bureau.
Even if he had the courage to do so, he would not dare to sell the treasure of the factory.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I won't win anyone's love.
The other old redwoods are not for sale, right?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
He is determined to get the old redwood. It doesn't matter that it is not for sale now. In a few years, he will take over the entire woodware factory. At that time, the old redwood will still be not for sale.
At that time, he also brought people to visit. When the visitors were jealous and wanted to buy, he would also say: Sorry, this is not for sale!
"No, no, how much do you want? I'll arrange for someone to load it into a truck and send it to you." Director Li said quickly.
"What's the price?"
"According to the price mentioned by Director Zhang before, we will not base it on the diameter. We will charge a uniform price of 600 yuan per ton."
"Okay! Six hundred is six hundred!" Zhang Junping nodded.
The price is a bit high, but it doesn't matter, he can afford it.
Domestic old mahogany has long been extinct, and the old mahogany claimed by merchants in later generations is actually Siamese rosewood, also known as Cochin rosewood.
It is not the same thing as the old redwood in front of you, it can only be regarded as a close relative.
Although merchants in later generations claimed that Siamese Rosewood is also an old redwood, those old redwoods are really incomparable with the old redwood in front of you.
For example, Hainan huanghuali and Vietnamese huanghuali both belong to the Dalbergia species, but their price, wood grain, oiliness, density, texture and other wood properties are not the slightest bit different.
"It's a pleasure to do business with Factory Director Zhang. I'll arrange for someone to load the truck..."
Factory Manager Li was so excited that he walked a lot faster and quickly went to arrange for someone to come over to weigh and load the truck.
With the old redwood as a reference, Zhang Junping realized how much he had gained from the batch of Hainan Huanghuali he bought at Guanghua Timber Factory.
It can't be said to be taking advantage, it can only be regarded as taking advantage of others.
After all, people sell it as firewood at this price.
While Zhang Junping was watching the weighing and loading, he was discussing the processing costs of furniture parts with Factory Director Li.
The price given by Zhang Junping seems to be quite generous to Director Li. The price of raw materials plus 50% of the processing fee.
In other words, for a furniture component, calculate the raw material price based on the size, and then multiply it by 1.5 to get the finished product price of the component.
It sounds very suitable and anyone will be satisfied.
In fact, the loss of raw materials is not deducted here. The price of the plate is divided by the size of the component, and the cost price of the component is far lower than the actual cost price.
Therefore, the profit from the final finished product of the woodware factory is not as huge as imagined, it can only be said to be profitable.
Zhang Junping also thought about taking over the woodwork factory as a whole when the furniture factory could no longer survive. How could he offer too high a price?
What Zhang Junping is doing now can only help the woodware factory extend its life, and it will have to last until the end of the 1980s.
After all, he doesn't have the strength to take over the woodwork factory yet.
Even if there are sufficient funds, the woodware factory is directly under the Beijing Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and it is impossible to allow Zhang Junping's Central American Dream Factory to merge with the woodware factory.
Unless large-scale factory bankruptcy occurs in the late 1980s or early 1990s, then that will be the best time.
…
Following the delivery truck back to the furniture factory, Zhang Junping arranged for someone to unload the truck.
When buying old redwood, Zhang Junping was very happy. With a wave of his hand, he paid more than 100,000 yuan without blinking an eye.
However, when I returned to the furniture factory to unload the truck, it was a bit difficult.
The backyard gate of the furniture factory was too small for cars to get in, so we had to unload it from the outside and lift it in manually.
Fortunately, there are many people in the furniture factory now, and they are all young men. There are many people with great strength. The old redwood that had to be loaded onto the car with a forklift in the wood factory was carried in by more than 60 young men and stacked in the backyard.
In the goods yard.
In the end, only the largest old redwood tree was left, one meter and a half in diameter, eight meters in length, and weighing more than fifteen tons.
It's really impossible to get this old redwood in. It can't be lifted with few people, and it can't be reached by many people.
However, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Zhang Junping arranged for someone to temporarily process a dozen small round wooden sticks, put them under the old redwood as wheels, and then slowly pushed them in.
Although the wood was finally put in, everyone was sweating from the work.
This incident also reminded Zhang Junping that he plans to remodel the backyard door tomorrow to expand it so that he can directly enter and exit the car.
It won’t be so troublesome to import wood in the future, the car can drive in directly.
Zhang Junping found Master Du and asked directly: "Master Du, do you know how to make a door?"
"What is the gate that Director Zhang wants to do?"
"I am going to open a gate in the backyard that is 7 feet 8 inches high and 5 feet 8 inches wide.
So I wanted to ask Master Du if he can make such a door."
"Height is 7 feet 8 inches, width is 5 feet 8 inches? Director Zhang made such a big door?" Master Du said in surprise.
The size Zhang Junping mentioned is the Luban ruler, one foot is equal to 42.9 centimeters, which means that the door Zhang Junping wants to make is 3.34 meters high and 2.48 meters wide.
This is already an oversized door among traditional wooden doors.
"Well, in the future, if you want to enter the backyard door, you can't just rely on manpower to lift it in bit by bit every time, right?"
"Although I have never made such a large-scale wooden door, there should be no problem. You can just leave it to our brothers!" Master Du has been feeling a bit embarrassed recently that he only talks about talking but is getting such a high salary.
Now Zhang Junping finally arranged a job for them, and he quickly took the job happily.
