Chapter 244: Old Computer (3)

"Charging an extra old computer should be regarded as one less electronic waste......

Wei Minsheng heard Chen Xiaohua's muttering, smiled and said, "If we don't let these old computers exert their residual heat, do we have to buy a new computer for those children."

The old computer is still there, and a new one is added, and the new computer will also be obsolete, and won't there be two electronic wastes at that time?

By doing so, we can minimize the generation of e-waste by using computers that have become garbage to meet the needs of some people? ”

Wei Minsheng's explanation, everyone suddenly realized, yes, many things in this world are this truth, the demand is certain, but the power of manufacturers to chase profits is unlimited.

The reason why the world's largest chip manufacturer is nicknamed a "toothpaste factory" is because it is able to produce products with more powerful performance and lower power consumption, but in order to create an atmosphere that your current machine is outdated, it deliberately introduces products with limited performance improvement.

And occasionally I reveal a little grievance through the grapevine, it's not that I'm unwilling to improve the performance in place at one time, but that little brother is really not good, if I accidentally force him to death, the anti-monopoly sword will have to cut us heads......

In an era where there is already an overload of PC performance, launching only one new product a year doesn't feel the same as launching twelve new products a year.

I only launch one new product a year, and even if the performance is really improved a lot, you will think that the computer I am using now is only a generation behind the most advanced computer, and it can be used right away.

And if you launch twelve new products a year, you will think, damn it, this broken machine is already so much worse than the most advanced computers.

Coupled with the intentional or unintentional guidance of dealers and maintenance personnel, I felt that this machine was really time to be replaced.

In this way, both producers and distributors are happy, because this invisibly makes the cake of a fixed demand bigger.

The frequency of replacement that took three or four years has been compressed into one or two years, which has almost doubled the demand for replacement.

But why don't people understand? This electronic product is not the same as mechanical equipment such as automobiles, and the machinery will be worn, while electronic products do not have this problem, and the service life of most electronic components is more than 100,000 hours.

In all electronic products, only the battery has obvious performance attenuation, and most of the other things will not affect the performance as long as they are not broken.

As long as you pay attention to the details in some foreign films and televisions, you will find that some of the electronic products used in ordinary families are actually products many years ago, because their consumption is more rational, and there is no such a good-looking situation for Chinese people.

……

Since his boss has decided to do this thing that can reduce some environmental pollution, and there is no need for everyone to pay, it is just an increase in work content, and it has no impact on the company, so Liu Mengling and the others did not persuade again.

But Li Wei still raised a new question: "Mr. Wei, the performance of this old computer is uneven, how to determine the purchase price?" ”

Wei Minsheng said: "We can start with the score of the performance evaluation software, and use the current mainstream configuration evaluation score and price on the market as a reference, and determine the purchase price of the old computer according to its ratio."

We can make full use of the online ordering page of Minsheng Canteen to recycle old computers, and those who have replaced old computers at home can calculate the approximate recycling price by themselves according to this discount standard.

If you want to sell it, you can send the old computers to the pick-up point of the Minsheng canteen to register, and our food delivery truck will collect these old computers, evaluate them and convert them into the final recycling price. ”

"The performance evaluation software can only evaluate the parameters related to performance, and cannot detect the newness and damage of the appearance, and I think there should be an evaluation parameter for the degree of newness and old appearance."

"Fortunately, with the addition of this parameter that can affect the recycling price, everyone will at least simply clean up the surface of the old computer, so as not to make the canteen full of dust and affect the perception.

Once we have determined the final recovery price, we can send a confirmation text message to the original owner, and if he thinks the price is right, we will give him the money through the pickup point he registered to complete the transaction. ”

Liu Mengling said at this time: "Mr. Wei, I think that after the recycling price is determined, we can set up a consumption account for them with the recycling money, and they can use the money in this consumption account to directly consume on our ordering website."

In this way, we will not take up too much money when we recycle old computers, and in this way, more people can learn about our Minsheng Canteen, and more people can become potential users of our Minsheng Canteen. ”

Wei Minsheng thought for a moment and said: "I only worry about one problem, there is no problem with our webpage for ordering food, because all the parts involved in the transaction are completed through third-party payment, and we don't have to worry about the safety of funds."

But once we have set up our own user cash account, in case the website is hacked or virus attacked, how do we keep the user's funds safe? ”

"Now the operation of our people's livelihood canteen has been on the right track, but now it is the world of mobile terminals, and the pure web page can no longer meet the needs of our customers, I think we can find a special software company to design an APP for our people's livelihood canteen.

In that case, we can increase the stickiness of users, and we can directly optimize the APP for many things to make it more convenient for users to use.

As for the issue of data security, I think it is better to leave it to a professional company to manage, and we only need to rent their cloud service platform.

Besides, the only funds involved in our APP are to recycle old computers, and the amount should not be large, as long as you pay attention to data backup, there should be no big problem. ”
