At the "Guangdong Goods Global Reach" Spring Edition event, amidst a sea of new home appliances with edgy designs and multiple functions, a 42-year-old Weili washing machine stood quietly like a time-traveling witness.

This machine, belonging to a long-time Weili user, has remained fully functional since 1984. On the side of the green washing machine, the label reading "Manufactured in 1984" has faded. Yet when plugged in, the inner drum still rotates steadily and powerfully, and the drainage system remains unobstructed.

In fact, many households possess similarly long-lasting Guangdong-made appliances: Wanbao refrigerators running for 30 years, Macro water heaters serving for 28 years, and early Huabao air conditioners still delivering excellent cooling performance... Guangdong-made products have challenged consumer expectations with their unexpectedly enduring reliability.

Guangdong manufacturers have never compromised on quality control. This unwavering commitment is precisely why that 1984-made Weili washing machine still functions flawlessly today—every component underwent rigorous inspection, and every production step embodied meticulous craftsmanship.

Facing profound shifts in the global industrial landscape, however, Guangdong-made products have never become complacent. Gree's independently developed core air conditioning technology broke foreign monopolies; Midea's smart home ecosystem leads industry trends; Huawei's communication technology competes with top global enterprises; and DJI's drones account for over 70% of the global consumer drone market.

一台42岁洗衣机道出广货的“长期主义”

“广货行天下”春季行动现场，在一众设计前卫、功能多样的新型家电产品之间，一台42岁的威力洗衣机仿佛一位穿越时空的见证者静静伫立。

这是威力老用户家的机器，从1984年到现在还能够正常使用。在这台绿色洗衣机侧面，“1984年出厂”的标签已然模糊，但接通电源，内筒转动依旧平稳有力，排水系统通畅无阻。

事实上，不少家庭里都有类似的广货“长寿家电”：运行30年的万宝冰箱、使用28年的万家乐热水器、制冷效果依旧良好的早期华宝空调……广货以超乎预期的耐用性打破了人们的消费认知。

广货在品质把控上始终不曾松懈。这正是那台1984年产的威力洗衣机能够正常运转至今的根本原因——它的每一个零部件都经过严格检验，每一道工序都凝聚着匠心精神。

而面对全球产业格局的深刻变革，广货也未曾固步自封。格力自主研发的空调核心技术，打破国外垄断；美的智能家居生态系统，引领行业潮流；华为的通信技术，在全球范围内与顶尖企业竞争；大疆的无人机，更是占据全球消费级无人机市场七成以上份额。
