Shared power bank: price increase is the first step, the second step has not been thought of yet

It’s getting less and less useful. 

"33 minutes of use, the amount payable is 5 yuan." After returning the shared power bank in a shopping mall in Beijing, Yang Hui (a pseudonym) stared at the payment page on his mobile phone and sighed again. 

When the bubble of sharing economy such as shared bicycles, shared cars, and shared umbrellas burst, only shared power banks came all the way to the end. At present, the market pattern of "three electricity and one beast" dominated by street electricity, small electricity, incoming calls and monster charging has been formed. On May 19, "Shared Charging First Share" Monster Charging released its first financial report since listing. Data show that its 2021 Quarter 1 operating income was 846.90 million yuan, an increase of 162.5% year-on-year. 

Head-sharing charging operators seem to have survived well, but they have been criticized for gradually raising rental prices. What is the logic behind the price increase? Is the price increase a normal market behavior, or is it a new round of "cutting leeks" after the operator’s "horse race"?

Why have prices risen?

The payment information shown to reporters by Yang Hui shows that using a brand of shared power bank for 33 minutes requires a payment of 5 yuan. 

The increase in the price of shared power banks has attracted the attention of consumers as early as 2019. Recently, with the surge in user scale and landing scenarios, prices have risen again. Consumers have felt strongly about this, which has further promoted the topic.

At present, the billing system of shared power banks is mainly divided into free time, billing standard, billing unit, daily cap price, and total cap price. After sorting out the adjustments made by operators to several of the standards in recent years, the reporter found that any change in the standard will affect the rental price accordingly.

Taking incoming calls as an example, in 2019, users can charge for free for 2 hours in a single consumption, while the free time in 2020 and 2021 has been cancelled; in terms of billing standards, it will cost 1 yuan per 30 minutes in 2019 and 2 yuan per 30 minutes in 2020; in terms of billing units, it will be charged every 30 minutes in 2019 and 2020, less than 30 minutes will be charged for 30 minutes, and in 2021 it will be charged per hour, and less than 1 hour will be charged for 1 hour.

"Maybe the two-hour free time is about the same. Now not only has the free time been shortened or cancelled, but the billing standard has also been changed, and it is obvious that more money is spent." Yang Hui said. It is worth noting that even if the billing standard has not changed on some platforms, the adjustment of the billing unit will make consumers pay more for the same time. For example, under the premise of the same 1 hour and 15 minutes of use, the user will pay 1.5 yuan more for a billing unit that charges 3 yuan per hour than a billing unit that charges 1.5 yuan per 30 minutes.

The adjustment of the billing system, coupled with the different landing scenarios, has further caused the rental price to rise. After visiting several business districts in Beijing, the reporter found that the rental price of shared power banks is basically stable at 2 to 3 yuan per hour, and KTV, bars, Internet celebrity stores, popular scenic spots and other places with high traffic will reach 4 to 5 yuan per hour.

Jiang Han, a senior researcher at Pangu Think Tank, told the China Reporter that the core purpose of the price increase is to seek more financing. "When the sharing economy became a trend, it may be possible to raise enough funds with a PPT, and now the market has passed the’burning money ‘period. Most consumers driven by electricity anxiety will not choose to abandon it because of price issues, which is why operators dare to risk user churn to rashly increase prices when they are short of money." Chen Liteng, a life service e-commerce analyst at the Internet Economic and Social Research Center, also told reporters that shared power banks used to be "horse racing" at a low price, without considering income. Now the market is mature, users have formed usage habits, and platforms are more concerned about sustainable development.

From the perspective of the profit model, it may be more revealing the logic behind the price increase. Experts say that the way for shared power bank operators to make money is to continuously pave the way. When there are more and more entrants, in order to seize market share, operators can only accept high admission fees and give merchants certain bargaining rights. The prospectus from Monster Charging shows that its commission rate has risen from 42.7% in 2019 to 44.1% in 2020, and the entrance fee has increased by as much as 260%.

The reporter learned that there are currently two types of merchants laying shared power banks: buyout type and franchise type. Under the buyout type, after purchasing from the operator, the merchant takes all the proceeds of the user’s rental and has the right to adjust the unit price of the rental; under the franchise type, the merchant and the platform share the proceeds. It is worth noting that the sharing ratio between the two parties is gradually imbalanced. "At present, the merchant will take 70% of the profits and withdraw cash from the Mini Program every month." A ground marketing staff of the small electric power bank told the China Report reporter that for stores that want to increase prices, the small electric does not specify the price increase range, but will give suggestions according to market conditions, "It is too outrageous and will damage our image, and users will not accept it."

Under multiple factors, price increases seem inevitable, and operators are becoming more and more cautious. The ground marketer revealed that whether it is new points or old contract renewal points, the net profit that merchants can eventually bring to operators has become a new standard for measuring performance. "This is completely different from the more you shop, the more money you get."

What are the key factors for future competition in the industry?

On April 1 this year, Monster Charging was listed on Nasdaq. (The picture comes from the Internet)

Will the price of shared power banks continue to rise?

"Changes in prices will inevitably affect the number of users. This is a dynamic process. As long as there is market demand, appropriate price adjustments will help maximise the platform’s revenue, while the retention of users will inhibit price fluctuations and gradually form a suitable price system," Chen Liteng said. Jiang Han believes that with the monopoly in the regional scope, operators can have a certain amount of room for price increases. If it exceeds the tolerance limit of consumers, it may lead to a crisis of trust.

In fact, it is not only the price issue, but also the overlord clause, difficult return, slow charging speed and other issues of shared power banks, as well as factors such as smart phone battery life capacity enhancement and low price of online power banks, which also make the profit model The development of a single shared power bank industry is increasingly limited.

On April 1 this year, Monster Charging became the "first share of shared power banks" in China, and Jiedian and Sodian also announced the completion of the merger on the same day. Subsequently, Xiaodian Technology sprinted to Hong Kong stocks. As early as May last year, Meituan announced its re-entry into the field of shared power banks. Industry insiders speculate that with the high stickiness between consumers, Meituan’s entry may change the industry landscape.

"Increasing prices is not the ultimate solution to the problem, and the merger of Street Power and Soupower is also normal. Now it is either a group to keep warm or to speed up the listing, which is an inevitable development outcome." Jiang Han analyzed that in addition to renting the majority of the income of shared power bank operators, there is also a small amount of advertising business and power bank sales. If you want to achieve long-term sustainable development, you must find profitable business models. "From the current point of view, these models are not profitable."

Shared power banks are also seeking to make great progress. "Bamang Technology", established after the merger of Jiedian and Soudian, will create innovative consumer scenes, and has launched smart end points such as mask machines and body temperature monitors; Monster Charging also positions itself as a "technology consumer company" and crosses the Baijiu business.

"What should we do? Or what is the right thing to do? No one can give a clear answer now, but from a diverse perspective, is there any other way to get more revenue? Or like Meituan, there are other businesses that can be used as support, and sharing power banks is just a means to improve user stickiness, or to improve service levels." Jiang Han said.

Management rules for loosening the network car in many places: lowering the entry threshold for vehicles and drivers.

  Since September this year, many cities, including Quanzhou, Fujian and Lanzhou, Gansu, have been exposed to have loosened the network car-sharing policy.

  Recently, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province also held a legislative hearing on the Regulations of Hangzhou Municipality on the Administration of Passenger Taxi (Revised Draft). It is planned to bring the network car into the scope of passenger taxi management, and at the same time adjust the vehicle standards and driver access standards of the network car.

  Cheng Huiqiang, a researcher at the State Council Development Research Center, said in an interview with The Paper that the online car ride itself is one of the ways to deepen the reform of the taxi industry. The policy adjustment according to local conditions reflects the government’s open and scientific attitude towards emerging formats. Because there is still a time difference in the implementation of the network car policy in various places, the exploration of the first cities can provide reference for the subsequent cities to formulate local network car rules.

  In July 2016, the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Management Services was issued, which took effect on November 1 of the same year, and China took the lead in recognizing the legality of online car booking. Subsequently, many rules for the management of network car were issued, including many requirements for drivers’ household registration and operating vehicle standards.

  Detailed rules for the management of loosening the network car in some cities

  Since September this year, Quanzhou and Lanzhou have been exposed to the local version of the network car management rules. Hangzhou recently held a hearing on relevant policies.

  Judging from the changes in the rules of the above three cities, it mainly includes the following contents:

  1,Reduce the access standards for vehicle prices.

  Compared with the previous landing rules, Quanzhou, Lanzhou and Hangzhou have all set the lowest price standard for online car.

  Quanzhou originally required that the price of the online car should not be less than 150,000 yuan, which needs to be more than 50% higher than the mainstream taxi. It is now adjusted that the vehicle price shall not be less than 1.2 times the taxi price. Lanzhou City will adjust "the price of online car is more than 140,000" to 1.5 times that of mainstream taxis.

  According to the calculation of the media in the two places, thanks to this, the entry threshold for car prices in the two places has dropped by more than 30% to 50%.

  2. Lower the vehicle configuration standard.

  Previously, Quanzhou rules required that the network car must be equipped with a positioning device with driving record function and an emergency alarm device, and the Beidou satellite positioning system must be adopted. The new rules cancelled the designated system and only required the same technical conditions.

  Lanzhou is in the new regulations.The relevant standards of "the wheelbase of vehicles is 2700 mm", "the wheelbase of new energy vehicles is more than 2650 mm" and "providing wireless Internet access, mobile phone chargers, paper towels, umbrellas, etc. for passengers" have been deleted.

  The revised draft of Hangzhou simply cancels the original vehicle wheelbase and price standard, and treats the network car and taxi equally.

  3, lower the driver’s entry threshold.

  In the new regulations (drafts) of Lanzhou and Hangzhou, the city’s household registration or residence certificate will be obtained as the entry threshold for online car drivers.Deleted the time limit for obtaining the residence permit of this city for one year.

  4, reduce the difficulty of the exam.

  On September 8, the Ministry of Transport issued the Notice on Reforming the Work Related to the Qualification Examination for Taxi Drivers, and the number of questions in the question bank was reduced from 1,200 to 500, and the ratio of the number of questions in the question bank to the number of questions in the test paper did not exceed 10: 1.

  5, reduce administrative duplication of examination and approval.

  Originally, if the network car platform wants to settle in Quanzhou, it must submit an application to the Fujian transportation authorities, and the online service capability of the platform will be reviewed. Now it is adjusted to be verified by the registration place of the platform company to reduce duplicate certification.

  6, reduce administrative intervention in the market.

  According to the original rules of Quanzhou, the driver of the online car can’t "marry one woman and two" and can’t access two or more online car platforms at the same time. The new regulation cancels this regulation, and it is adjusted for the driver to sign an agreement with the platform vendor and act according to the agreement.

  It is worth noting that Hangzhou has also tried to incorporate the network car into the passenger taxi management system. To this end, Hangzhou tries its best to meet the existing taxi standards in terms of access to online car models, and proposes that the Hangzhou cruise taxi and online car exam will be implemented with "two exams in one" and "two certificates in one", so that drivers who pass the exam can not only open a car, but also drive a taxi to achieve interactive flow.

  The grey management state still exists.

  Regarding the adjustment of the new regulations on multi-network car-sharing, The Paper inquired about the opinions of many network car-sharing platforms, and generally responded that it is not convenient to say more now.

  According to the data of the Ministry of Transport, as of the end of July this year, 133 of the 338 cities at or above the prefecture level in China have issued detailed rules for the implementation of online car rental, and 86 are openly soliciting opinions.

  Some cities have been unable to introduce the detailed rules for the management of network car, and the slow progress of some network car platforms has led to the gray operation of network car drivers in many places.

  In August this year, Guizhou Metropolis Daily reported that Anshun City had been unable to introduce new regulations on online car rental. In the face of the special action of illegal operation in the whole city, more than 4,000 network cars in the city have become "illegal vehicles".

  At the same time, the number of cities that the network car platform company is allowed to land is not too much.

  In July this year, according to the People’s Daily, there are more than 130 online car platform companies in the current market. Up to now, 19 online car platform companies such as Didi Chuxing, Shenzhou Special Car, Shouqi Car and Caocao Special Car have obtained business licenses, and Didi Chuxing, Shenzhou Special Car, Shouqi Car, Yizhi and Caocao Special Car have obtained business licenses in 22, 33, 29, 8 and 13 cities respectively.

He suffered from cerebral palsy since childhood and typed with the tip of his tongue against his lips. His science fiction was shortlisted for the grand prize.


Cctv news: Chen Weiqi is an online writer whose pen name is Lobster from Heaven. At the age of 35, it took him ten years to complete a 210,000-word novel "Advanced Life", which was also shortlisted for the 10th Global Chinese Science Fiction Xingyun Award earlier this month.

Chen Weiqi suffered from cerebral palsy since childhood and typed with the tip of his tongue against his lips. His science fiction was shortlisted for the grand prize. When his hands can’t knock on the keyboard, he types with the tip of his tongue against his lips and writes one literary work after another. Although he didn’t finish junior high school, it didn’t stop the "supplies" given to him by active thinking and reading enthusiasm.

At the beginning of this month, the 10th Global Chinese Science Fiction Xingyun Award announced the shortlist of works. Among the best novels, Chen Weiqi’s work "Advanced Life" was among them. Some netizens who are familiar with him lamented that Chen Weiqi’s creative experience itself is an extraordinary advanced process of life.

Chen Weiqi, who suffers from cerebral palsy and can’t stand and walk, can only move his left and right little fingers with his hands. He didn’t finish junior high school. He taught himself by surfing the Internet and wrote works of nearly one million words.

Can’t type with both hands, can’t pronounce clearly, and can’t use voice input. Chen Weiqi has explored a special typing method.

Once, Chen Weiqi tried to click on the keyboard with the only movable left little finger, but this method didn’t work because the arm was out of control. He simply tried all his five senses. His nose is too short and his chin is too large. Typing with his mouth biting chopsticks will make his mouth water … …

Finally, he finally found that typing with the tip of his tongue against his lips, although not fast, could last longer. So, with this method, he sat in front of the computer for more than ten hours every day and clicked the keyboard thousands of times with the tip of his tongue and lips to try to finish his writing.

Chen weiqiIf it hurts, you owe your ass a little. If it hurts on the left, push it slightly to the right. If it hurts on the right, push it harder on the left.

In Chen Weiqi’s science fiction, most of the protagonists can break through their own limitations through scientific and technological means, explore the universe and fight against evil forces, which may be pinning his desire to get rid of the real illness.

For ordinary people, it is natural and simple to control their body movements; For Chen Wei, this is an almost impossible luxury. Because he had cerebral palsy since childhood, he barely learned to walk at the age of seven, but he always had active thinking in his memory.

However, during the first summer vacation, his illness was aggravated by a sudden high fever, and he was bedridden for the next two years. At that time, he felt more desperate than ever. However, with strong willpower, his body gradually changed. Finally, one day, he sat up from the bed and began to teach himself junior high school courses. In 2001, he asked his family to buy him a computer with Internet access.

Through the Internet, Chen Weiqi read materials about medicine, philosophy, literature and so on, and sprouted the idea of writing. After finding a way to type with the tip of the tongue and lips, he kept trying to write and contribute. In 2003, his short science fiction stories were published on a website, which made him see hope.

Writing science fiction, let him regain confidence in confusion. In the next ten years, he completed the manuscript of the long science fiction "Advanced Life" and won many awards in online science fiction essays. However, in 2013, a serious illness struck again, causing him to lose consciousness below the head.

Unable to give up the manuscript of the work and unwilling to fate, Chen Wei made a strong effort to eat and let himself compete with his physical illness.

After half a year, Chen Weiqi’s illness gradually eased. With the help of his family and netizens, his two works were published successively.

A strong desire for creation enabled Chen Weiqi to find the direction, which supported him not to be depressed and not to give up. With the unimaginable efforts of ordinary people, he broke through the crisis and published his first novel.

Writing not only lit up his life, but also made him meet many friends who supported him. The warmth and friendship conveyed more confidence and courage. Today, Chen Weiqi has begun to try to get out of the house and embrace life.

In Chen Weiqi’s home, there is a Bluetooth device that uses the head to control the mouse, which was bought by netizens. Everyone often puts forward opinions and suggestions to help him improve his works. These warm actions are silently remembered by him. After the publication of Advanced Life, Chen Weiqi specially asked his family to buy 60 copies, printed his pen name with the seal sent by netizens, and sent it to those who helped him.

With more and more communication with friends, Chen Weiqi is becoming more and more cheerful.

Now, Chen Weiqi began to walk out of the house in a wheelchair to communicate with literary societies in some colleges and universities, share his writing experience face to face, and convey his goodwill and feelings.

Chen weiqiI am lucky to be born in such an era and such a society. It can be said that if there is no computer, no internet and the development of information technology during this period, I simply can’t imagine that a person like me can do things.

It is unfortunate for Chen Weiqi to be ill and have difficulty in moving since childhood, but the particularity of a writer lies in that any experience may become the source of creation. Chen Weiqi said that when you can’t write, you should also bite the bullet and write down, and then optimize everything. Isn’t this what he learned from the struggle against illness? I will walk till the water checks my path is inevitable in life, and we must never stop at this time. Only by persisting in moving forward can we finally have a day in then sit and watch the rising clouds.

Today, Chen Weiqi has walked out of that room and actively communicated with more people and integrated into society. This is a very happy thing. Finding one’s own existence and advanced way is not only what Chen Weiqi has to work hard to do, but also worthy of our serious consideration.
