1891年，杰拉德·飞利浦在荷兰小城点起一盏灯，从此照亮半个世纪。它造出欧洲第一颗商用灯泡，推 出全球首款家用录音机，和索尼一起定义CD标准，医疗设备更是医院里的常客。 那时候"Philips"背后，代表的是技术、可靠、工匠精神，是实打实用实验室和工厂堆出来的尊严。 可不知从哪天起，飞利浦开始觉得造东西太累，不如卖牌子轻松。于是，电视卖给冠捷，手机甩给中国 公司，照明业务拆分，半导体独立成NXP，连最经典的剃须刀、电饭煲、空气炸锅，也在2021年打包卖 给了高瓴资本。 从此，飞利浦彻底告别生产线。它不再研发新电机，不再调试电路板，不再为一颗LED灯珠的寿命熬通 宵。它只干一件事：把LOGO印在别人的产品上，坐等收钱。 飞利浦，只剩一个Logo在硬撑 走进商场，拿起一把"飞利浦"剃须刀，包装精致、LOGO闪亮，你可能还觉得这是荷兰原产、欧洲精 工。 可真相是：这玩意儿大概率出自广东某代工厂，飞利浦连螺丝都没碰过，只负责收一笔授权费。 曾经那个点亮世界的灯泡巨人，如今靠"卖名字"活着。百年品牌，除了商标，啥都不剩了。 这不是转型，是缴械；不是升级，是撤退。飞利浦的故事，说白了就是一部"如何亲手埋葬自己"的教科 书 ...
