Philips, the former electronics giant, is no longer in the limelight. In addition to razors and light bulbs, how many people now think of Philips when buying a new home appliance
If you buy it with your eyes closed to the Philips brand, you have to be careful. What you buy is either a product that Philips doesn't produce itself, or there may be a problem with the quality.
On November 28, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning to Philips due to the frequent failure of one of Philips' home ventilators.
The agency also highlighted that since August, more than 270 reports of this product have been received. Coincidentally, on the same day, China's Food and Drug Administration also issued a product recall announcement about Philips, this time about medical magnetic resonance imaging systems.
In just one day, there were two major events, and Philips's **on November 28** was 544%。What happened to Philips?The pride of the Dutch royal family, why is it like this?
We have Antarctic people, and Europe also has its own "OEM king" Philips. Except for razors and electric toothbrushes, household appliances sold under the name "Philips" are most likely not Philips.
In August last year, the "Hebei dealer dispute" between Gree air conditioner and Philips air conditioner was swiped on social **. The reason is that in order to promote online channels, Dong Mingzhu personally went into battle to bring goods in a live broadcast, claiming that no dealer made the difference, and the air conditioner was sold at the "lowest price in the country".
Gree's Hebei General Manager used to wear a pair of pants with Gree, but the interests have to adjust their strategies at present, and at the same time introduce Philips air conditioners, but they are required by Gree to "choose one of the two". In a fit of rage, he threw a feast and told the world that "we are going to switch to Philips air conditioning". Former companions have become opponents, this drama is certainly exciting, but more netizens are puzzled: When will Philips start making air conditioners?Although the business once blossomed everywhere, Philips has not done air conditioning business at all in the 130 years since its establishment, and only in 2018 did it have an air conditioning business in the Chinese market. I don't know if I don't check, home appliance bloggers are confused, and consumers have become leeks. It is suspected that Changhong has changed the standard of a Philips inverter air conditioner, Changhong's performance is higher than that of Philips, but Philips's is 4000 yuan more expensive.
is also a Philips brand, in February this year, the actor "Brother Gazi" brought Philips mobile phones, claiming that the original price was 8999 yuan, and the live broadcast room was only 1999 yuan. But some netizens immediately discovered that the same mobile phone only costs 1880 yuan from other merchants. If it weren't for the fact that the official Philips official website couldn't find the official pricing, I'm afraid that "Brother Gazi" wouldn't be able to fool the public easily. It is unbelievable that such a "pheasant" operation can happen in a large factory like Philips. From January to September this year, Philips' revenue was 1311.7 billion yuan, equivalent to about 1020 yuan200 million yuan. Relying on the OEM business, Philips easily lies down and makes money. The former "light" of Europe, no longer illuminates the former Philips, is the "light" of Europe, the gospel of men's bathrooms, and the "grandfather" of the global semiconductor industry......The current Philips is inseparable from bad reviews and scandals, how can it not be regarded as a kind of "late season is not guaranteed"?As we all know, Philips started by selling light bulbs. At that time, the aftermath of the Second Industrial Revolution had not yet passed, World War I had not yet broken out, and the whole of Europe and the United States was in a state of fanatical pursuit of invention and creation.
Edison, who is known as the "king of inventions" with more than 1,000 patents, is a product of this era. Philips is no exception, selling light bulbs to make money, so it established the physics laboratory natlab. The great thing about this place is not only that the researchers are well treated, but that it is a paradise for researchers. Not only do the scientists not have to complete administrative work, but they also do not have specific research tasks, and whatever topics the scientists propose, Philips funds are immediately available. Philips also invited the physics experts at that time to sit down, and the academic atmosphere of this laboratory, not to mention some intrigues, I am afraid that the current Philips will not be able to reproduce. "People are stupid and money comes quickly", a group of the world's top genius scientists came. The tapes, cameras, optical discs, and silicon oxidation technology that Philips used to sell all came out of this laboratory.
The vacuum transistor was invented in 1906 and was introduced to the Philips production line in 1920. While other companies were still producing vacuum bulbs, Philips was already selling vacuum bulbs, commonly known as electric light bulbs. The advantage of light bulbs directly makes Philips the first in the electronic world. After all, the vacuum tube is the door that human beings knocked on the door of the electronic world, and in the early years, radios, televisions, amplifiers, etc., the electronic tube was an indispensable part.
In 1949, Philips' first TV was off the production line, and CD technology, ** technology, and Blu-ray technology also became trump cards, making Philips a world-class home appliance giant.
