作為國內共享行動電源產業市佔率最高的品牌,怪獸充電正陷入直營業務削減,代理業務問題頻傳的危機境地。近日,新浪科技獲悉,怪獸充電正在大面積出售城市直營業務,全面轉向代理加盟模式。有怪獸充電內部人士透露:“除上海、成都等核心城市優質點位仍在保持運營外,目前已不做新增外,其餘城市直營點位已在打包出售,轉賣給區域代理商。”
據透露,關閉直營門市的原因,主要是因為產業競爭加劇,選擇引進對當地情況更為了解的本地加盟商,試圖快速搶佔市場。在這背後,直接放權導致的亂收費問題,成為怪獸充電發展的新「絆腳石」。放棄直營,多城市「出售」
目前,怪獸充電商業模式主要以「直營 + 代理」為主。
一位怪獸充電寶代理商對新浪科技透露,「此前幾年,怪獸充電的共享充電寶業務主要是以直營為主。」在直營模式下,怪獸充電自己生產設備,再透過員工鋪設到合作商家門市(點位),並進行營運維護。近期,怪獸充電已經完全放棄了該直營業務的拓新。
「現在全部以代理為主,直營不再做了,因為沒有精力。」上述怪獸充電代理商表示,代理模式主要是透過招募代理商買入怪獸充電寶設備,然後由代理商自行鋪設,怪獸充電主要負責前期設備、軟體提供以及後期必要的訓練和售後。
「目前除在上海和成都兩地還留有直營團隊做設備運維外,其他地區的直營業務,基本上都在打包出售,其中大部分轉賣給了當地的區域代理商,少部分沒賣出去的還在運維並出售中。必爭之地,所以這兩個城市還有一些維護人員。 同時,另一位
怪獸充電代理商則指出,目前成都地區也不穩妥,也已開始打包出售。 對於不再拓展新的直營點位一事,代理商給出的解釋是:「本地代理商對當地門市的把控,或者說當地關係的理解,一定是比我們要強得多的,所以現在轉向了代理模式。快速進入市場的方式,或許能夠快速見效。

In this regard, Cai Guangyuan, CEO of Monster Charging, explained: "While maintaining the core points of the direct operation model, we strategically adjust resources to develop the agency model." Xin Yi, CFO of Monster Charging, further stated: "Although the adjustment of the operating model will result in one-time costs, it is of great significance to the company's long-term financial health."
The core leader of Monster Charging did not specify the details of "optimizing" the direct business, but clearly conveyed The company’s development ideas towards the agency model were revealed. But for Monster Charge, while fully developing the agency model, excessive profits are being made to agents, which is also causing the company to fall into a situation of declining revenue and net profit.
The phenomenon of arbitrary charging is serious and agency disputes are prominent
In fact, the problems of arbitrary charging and overcharging caused by vigorously developing agents, as well as dealer losses caused by market misjudgment, are also becoming obstacles to the long-term development of Monster Charging key.

On the Black Cat complaint platform, there have been 280 complaints about Monster Charging in the past 30 days, a large number of which were complaints about excessive charges and agency disputes.

Recently, several Monster agencies in Harbin, Wuhan, Changsha and other places reported to Sina Technology that after they purchased hundreds of thousands of power bank equipment from Monster Charging, they found that the installation effect was not as good as the original Monster sales personnel promised. , but due to problems such as the disbandment of the laying team and the shirk of monster charging, the two sides are now in extreme tension.
Gradually abandon direct sales and shift the focus of its shared power bank business to the agency model of Monster Charging. It is reducing its own assets and liabilities while accelerating its market layout. It is also mobilizing the funds in the pockets of agents to conduct market experiments for itself, and cooperates with Meituan Charging and Street electricity, small electricity and other peers compete.
In this point coverage competition, it is still unknown who will win in the end. In communication with Sina Technology, a large agent in the power bank industry bluntly said: "In the future, there will only be two or three players in this industry. Although Monster currently has the highest market share, their business model is too single and weak in public perception." The status of Meituan power bank is not stable either. "
