消费降级的风刮了一年，从房价松动、车市价格战，到咖啡茶饮低价厮杀，大家都在等一场全民"薅羊 毛"的狂欢。可没想到，另一边却悄悄变了天：那些习惯了免费的东西，开始一个个收钱。更让人心慌的 是，这些小钱分散开看不算多，但攒起来，足够压得人喘不过气。 01 最离谱的，要数校园。 乐山一中学共享空调的新闻刷屏，教室开一小时9.9元，宿舍3.9元。有人家长算过账，一个夏天交的钱， 完全能买一台新空调。校方解释说"第三方投资，学校不管"，可真正尴尬的是：教室里总不能分成"交钱 区"和"不交钱区"。有的学生实在交不起，难道只能在门口听课？ 更魔幻的是，午休也成了收费项目。东莞某学校推出"趴桌午休200元/学期"，还分级收费，从趴桌到床位 一路涨价。听上去好像是"看护费"，可趴桌子打个盹，竟然也能算成服务。有人调侃："书费、学费都交 了，现在连眯一会儿也得额外交钱。" 高校也没闲着。四川工商学院图书馆把部分空间改成"付费自习室"，一间一年要六七百。对考研考公的学 生来说，这几乎成了刚需。过去抢座难，现在没得抢，只能掏钱。学习本该是公平的，可在收费的推力 下，机会被切得更细碎。 02 离开校园，公共场所也在偷偷"改造"。 高铁 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the unusual growth of LeMoBa in the shared massage chair market despite a general decline in demand since 2021, raising questions about its business practices and financial disclosures [1][2][3]. Industry Overview - The shared massage chair market in China has seen a significant decline since 2020, with major players like Rongtai Health and Aojiahua experiencing substantial drops in revenue from shared massage services [4][5]. - LeMoBa, however, has reportedly doubled its service points and nearly tripled its equipment count within two years, achieving over 900 million yuan in transaction volume by Q3 2024 [1][6]. Company Background - LeMoBa was founded in late 2016, initially sourcing commercial massage chairs from Honor Health, whose chairman, Wu Jinghua, is the actual founder of LeMoBa [5][6]. - Wu Jinghua transferred his shares to others to avoid conflicts of interest, but he still retained a significant stake in the company [5]. Financial Discrepancies - Investigations revealed discrepancies between LeMoBa's reported equipment deployment and actual observations, with many service points having non-sequential equipment IDs, suggesting potential inflation of numbers [7][8]. - For example, the "Yuanqi Egg" series of massage chairs was reported to have a theoretical deployment of over 32,000 units, but only 531 were found in reality, indicating a significant gap [9]. Revenue Model - LeMoBa's revenue primarily comes from two models: direct sales to consumers and a partner model where local partners manage operations [15]. - The company has implemented a stock incentive plan to bind the interests of city partners closely to its business, raising concerns about the authenticity of reported performance [16][15]. Cost Structure - The company faces high operational costs, including equipment depreciation set at three years, which is aggressive compared to industry standards [26][27]. - The average transaction value per massage chair is insufficient to cover the high costs of rent and equipment maintenance, leading to a financially unsustainable model [24][27]. Market Challenges - The shared massage chair business is under pressure due to declining consumer demand and high operational costs, leading to a situation where revenue does not cover expenses [23][27]. - Despite the initial success and capital interest, the ongoing challenges in the market have led to capital withdrawal and forced buybacks, raising questions about the company's financial health [22][23].
