For a long time in the past, if you want to buy electronic equipment, you can't escape a place called "Computer City". There is a mixture of good and bad, and it is an unforgettable place for many people.
However, with the development of the times and the rise of e-commerce, the computer city that uses traditional offline sales has gradually declined or even disappeared. What do you think of this?
Do you think the decline of Computer City is good or bad?
My opinion is as follows:
Direction 1: The decline of Computer City is a good thing
Advantages:
Promote the development of online e-commerce: With the decline of the computer city, more and more consumers turn to online to buy computer products, which promotes the development of online e-commerce.
Improve consumers' purchasing experience: Computer City has been in operation for many years, and the decoration and services of many stores are outdated. Consumers' experience in purchasing products here is not good. With the decline of the computer city, consumers will also seek a better shopping experience, which will prompt merchants to improve service quality and shopping environment.
Release land resources: Computer City occupies many valuable land resources in the city center. With its decline, these land resources will be released to help the city develop.Secondly, it is because there are too many routines for buying computers in the computer city, and it is easy to be deceived. For those who don't understand the configuration, you can completely fool you into spending 5,000 yuan to buy a computer worth 2,000 yuan. If you really buy it back, you will know that you have been cheated. And for those who understand the configuration, they can also directly replace some old accessories for you, or the brand is worse, anyway, it will make you suffer from dumbness.
It is the computer city's poor reputation that has caused the decline of the computer city. People are more willing to buy online, which is more transparent, and they are not willing to go to the computer city to fight against black merchants. Now the boss will only be smarter, you only have to suffer, it is impossible to take advantage
Direction 2: The decline of Computer City is a bad thing
Disadvantages:
Increase in the number of unemployed: The recession in Computer City will cause many businesses to close and many people to lose their jobs, which will increase the number of unemployed.
Impact on urban economy: The decline of the computer city will have a certain impact on the urban economy. The consumption enthusiasm in the commercial area will decrease, and the turnover of some businesses will decrease, which will have a certain impact on the development of the urban economy.
Risk transfer to online e-commerce: Although the decline of the computer city has promoted the development of online e-commerce, at the same time, some unscrupulous merchants may transfer risks to online, resulting in poor shopping experience for consumers.The biggest reason, of course, is the impact of e-commerce, just like traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Nowadays, anyone who knows some configurations will directly buy accessories online and install them by themselves. Even if it is the price of the whole machine, the price of e-commerce will be lower. So this directly affects the business of the computer city merchants.
Direction Three: Pros and Cons
1. The advent of the smartphone.
In the past, only computers could access the Internet, only computers and game consoles could play games, and only computers could run various software.
Smartphones have now largely replaced the functions of computers.
Smartphones can surf the Internet, play games on smartphones, and even run a lot of software on smartphones.
Moreover, it is more convenient to use with a smartphone.
Nowadays, more and more people are used to using smartphones, and many people don't touch computers anymore.
This is one of the reasons for the decline of Computer City.
2. The popularity of online shopping.
In the past, to buy a computer or other electronic products, you could only go to the Computer City.
A lot of business makes the computer city very lively.
Nowadays, online shopping is more popular. Many people no longer like to go to physical stores to shop. If they need electronic products, they can just shop online. Such a state has caused the computer city's business to become less and less, so it gradually declined.
Of course, the Computer City still has a little meaning, for example, you can touch it on the spot.
This point has to be said, it is still available.
For example, even in 2022, when I was in Shanghai, the Bainaohui Computer City in Shanghai was still open.
As a digital enthusiast, I will still go to these computer cities to have a look.
Many computers, if you don't touch them on the spot, you won't know whether they are good or bad.
But this kind of appeal cannot support the offline ecology as big as it was back then.
Recession is not extinction, it's just not what it used to be.
Of course, it must be said that not all the practitioners in the computer city are of low quality, and they are all deceitful. It’s just that good things don’t go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. When I found a wallet in the computer city, I tried my best to contact No one remembers about the owner?
But in this case, as long as there is a bad case, it is enough to spread for a long time and far.
Therefore, the core is actually interests.
If there are enough interests, bad cases will not become the main contradiction.
Benefits dissipate, and bad cases are discovered and brought to the table.
But there are always bad cases.
become only interest itself
