#为什么以前的家电寿命那么长呢? #
Nowadays, the elderly people are nostalgic for why the quality of household appliances in the past was so good?
A green refrigerator is forty years old and still works. Although an electric fan squeaks when it is turned on, it still whirls when it turns. It's been 20 years since a big-ass TV set, and it can still be imaged, but now it can't be received.
We need to understand that in the eighties of the last century, at the beginning of the reform, our country was still in an era of material shortage, whether it was steel villages, plastics, electronic components needed to be imported, so the people of that era cherished every penny, and the things produced were very useful.
At that time, there was no electrical appliance in the people's homes, and the common household appliances were "flashlights", and it was already a good family to use a radio at home. Therefore, as long as the factory produced it in that era, there was no worry that it could not be sold, and there was no market. China is so big, so it is definitely not enough to have one or two home appliance manufacturers, so every city will have an electric fan factory, a TV factory, and so on.
It is precisely because of the excellent quality of the household appliances produced and the long renewal cycle of household appliances that the capacity of a city is limited, which also led to the bankruptcy of more home appliance manufacturers in the nineties and the layoff of workers. If the life of household appliances is limited, then the products produced have continuous purchasing power, manufacturers will have a steady stream of funds, and factories will have research and development funds, which can develop newer products and better adapt to the market to meet the new needs of consumers. This is also in that era, home appliance manufacturers such as Haier, Changhong, Konka, Gree and other home appliance manufacturers went to the market in advance, out of the region, and towards the whole country, and finally became the leader of the market and the leader of the industry.
Therefore, in the context of the ever-changing market, it is not a good thing that the product quality is too good. It's a bad thing to put it bigger. The product has not been bad, the market capacity is limited, the overcapacity, the production of products can not be sold, the manufacturer will not have more funds to research and development, and will not be able to compete in the international market, and our products will not be able to go abroad. Therefore, it is also a market trend and a trend to eliminate old household appliances and update new household appliances within a reasonable range!
In fact, mobile phones are a very typical example. Because mobile phones have operating systems, unlike early feature phones, as long as the mobile phone is not broken, just a simple call, there is no problem with using it for five or six years. But today's smart phones, even if the phone is not broken, you want to continue to use it, but the system can not be upgraded, the new software can not be installed, what should you do? Software applications force you to have to change the phone! In fact, this is the planned elimination and update of products!
While upgrading the new system, Apple's mobile phone will secretly reduce the frequency or power of the earlier version of the mobile phone, which is secretly forcing you to change to a new mobile phone. To put it bluntly, it is forcing you to upgrade.
MICROSOFT'S OPERATING SYSTEM UPDATES ARE FAST, FROM WIN70 TO WIN10, AND NOW TO WIN11, EVERY OPERATING SYSTEM UPDATE PUTS FORWARD HIGHER REQUIREMENTS FOR HARDWARE, WITH LARGER MEMORY, LARGER HARD DISKS, AND FASTER CPU. If you're planning to try a new operating system and your computer's hardware isn't enough, you'll have to upgrade your hardware. This means that hardware and software complement each other and complement each other, but they are not explicitly eliminated.
The same is true for today's refrigerators and air conditioning products, which have replaced the condenser tubes with iron pipes and aluminum tubes, which is clearly said to be technological progress, reducing production costs, and making the sales price of the products more affordable. When it is dark, it is to eliminate old products on a regular basis, and the service life of refrigerators and air conditioners using iron pipes is about 10 years, and when the time comes, fluorine leakage due to iron pipe corrosion. If you want to repair, the cost is five or six hundred yuan, and a new refrigerator is more than 1,000 yuan, so that you give up maintenance and replace it directly, which is the market-oriented role.
In the past two years, the real estate market has been saturated, and the price of houses has begun to fall, so it is no longer realistic for the home appliance industry to hope that new families will buy household appliances in bulk and drive the market to prosper. Only by regularly eliminating old household appliances in batches and updating new ones, can the home appliance market have a chance.
