Back to the warehouse that her childhood friend rented, it was not a real warehouse but a room in an office building, three of which totaled more than 100 square meters, which was not really big. The office building here is short, about 2.5 meters high, with three rooms of 40 square meters, and the overall space volume is more than 100 to nearly 200 cubic meters.
These numbers surprised the boys on the opposite side. They really knew nothing about numbers.
Xie Wanying explained clearly to her classmates: The large overall space of the warehouse does not mean that so much goods can be stored.
It is impossible to stack goods to the roof, otherwise it will be difficult for employees to pick up goods on weekdays. A passage should be left in the middle of the warehouse for people and carts to walk and load and unload goods. Therefore, the utilization rate of warehouse space is 30% to 60%, never 100%.
According to this rule, there would not be enough space to move all the goods into her childhood friend's 100-square-meter house.
The practical living area of residential houses is not enough. A house with a so-called 100 square meters has an internal area of less than 90 square meters. To store goods, you need to remove the balcony, toilet, kitchen and other spaces that cannot be stored. After deducting the space, the area that can be used to store goods is only 50 to 60 cubic meters.
In fact, it would be very difficult to store the goods even if she added space in her new house, so she could only pile the boxes as high as possible to the roof.
Hearing her say this, classmate Wei Shangquan said, "It shouldn't be difficult for me to ask my parents to find a warehouse for your friend to store the goods. What size warehouse do you think would be appropriate, Yingying?"
"Let's talk about the car first." Xie Wanying said, take it step by step, don't be impatient, don't lose your composure.

Wei Shangquan and the others all listened to her instructions. A group of classmates discovered that except for classmate Xie who was studying medicine, she seemed to know everything. She was a real academic master.
"If a van doesn't work, should we find a small truck?" Wei Shangquan asked.
Pan Shihua was the first to shake his head: "How big can a minivan be? I saw a minivan on the road that was about the same size as a minibus."
In terms of daily living skills, Pan's cognitive ability is stronger than Shang Quan's, and he can adjust his thinking very quickly.
Wei Shangquan recalled that he was not sure if this was the case, so he asked Xie: "Yingying, how big do you think a minivan is?"
"The small truck that Mr. Pan mentioned should refer to a small van or a small flatbed truck. They are light trucks with small tonnage and small loading volume, about seven cubic meters and six cubic meters respectively. Flatbed trucks without open tops and walls cannot carry much cargo. On the contrary, since it is difficult to fix the height of the cargo, in reality, they can carry less cargo than vans. In addition to the weight, the volume of cargo transportation also matters. For cargo with regular shapes like this, it is best to use vans to load it. For cargo with irregular shapes, it is more advantageous to use flatbed trucks."
It sounds like a light truck is not acceptable. Wei Shangquan then asked, "Is a medium truck acceptable? Should we call it a large truck?"
The more the students asked, the less confident they became about their numerical perception, so they simply used the largest car that would definitely fit the load.
As a result, he was once again beaten professionally by classmate Xie.
"It doesn't mean the bigger the truck, the better. I'm not talking about freight here. You should know that vehicles moving within the city must comply with urban traffic regulations. Trucks are prohibited from entering the city during the day, and some vehicles of certain tonnage can only enter the city at night, resulting in loading and unloading only at night. The lighting at night is not good and the driver's vision is unclear. It is difficult for large-tonnage vehicles to turn around at night, which is time-consuming and prone to accidents. I saw a traffic sign last time, and it seems that the capital only allows trucks under eight tons to enter the city for loading and unloading at night, unless they are special vehicles."
