出租露營車商機無窮 / The business opportunity for renting camper vans is endless

之前寫了幾篇文章，討論到露營車，因為真的是同事及朋友都有在玩露營，而住帳篷住膩的朋友們，就開始把腦筋動到露營車上面，但是買一台露營車真的是太貴了，對於市井小民而言，光養一台車，就很費力了，買一台露營車，真的是不太實際，某天和幾位朋友閒逛時，看到有一家露營車加盟服務，正在推廣，我們就順便過去了解一下。

其實，朋友們認知的是露營車租借服務，依據露營車的等級及配備，只要花上五千到一萬元內，就可以租借露營車一天，而專門的露營車租借服務的公司，大概有十來家，要租借時，可能需要填寫線上表單，約定租借時間，並於約定時間內歸還即可，有些租借公司還有提供多種租賃套餐，像是不鏽鋼炊具組、防風防爆卡式爐、棉被、枕頭等，方便顧客在露營時，不用費心準備露營配備。

這家公司的做法是，每個加盟主花79萬至139萬元加盟，和其他加盟主一起擁有露營車的產權，該公司會透過平台招攬顧客承租，但是假如加盟主想使用露營車的話，有優先權，因為公司內有多台露營車，方便調度使用，這個方式聽起來是不是有共享平台的概念呢？我聽起來就是這樣，感概業者腦筋動真快，幾位朋友被業務說得有些心動，因為他們深深地了解到，露營族群的需求及痛點，問了好些個尖銳的問題，不過，業者也對答如流，最大的問題，就是回本時間，是否能如同業者保證的那樣。

現場時不時地響起祝賀成交的廣播，絕對會讓那些意志不堅定的人，會想快點和業者簽約，真是個恐怖的地方，不過，朋友們還算是腦袋清醒，紛紛說要回家和家人討論看看，再做決定，畢竟，買一部車也不是隨便出門逛逛，就可以決定的小事，在周邊的展區，常常看到有美女們，施展魔法，擄獲路人們的注意力，再加上小贈品的刺激，業者應該能輕易獲得不少顧客。

有句老話說，人多的地方不要去，前一陣子，有幾隻號稱高股息的ETF，備受投資人追捧，很多人解除銀行定存，就為了買到高股息ETF，獲得穩定的被動收如，不過，這些ETF上市後，與以往股票剛上市時會有一波上漲不同，相反的，一上市就跌破發行價，對於沉浸於高股息夢想中的投資者，撥了一盆冷水在頭上，任何投資機會都要小心警慎啊。

I've written a few articles discussing camper vans recently because many of my colleagues and friends are into camping, and some of them are getting tired of traditional tent camping. They've started considering camper vans, but buying one outright is just too expensive for regular folks like us. It's already a struggle to maintain a regular vehicle, let alone adding the expenses of a camper van. So, one day while hanging out with a few friends, we came across a camper van rental service that was being promoted, and we decided to check it out.

Basically, what my friends understood was a camper van rental service. Depending on the level and equipment of the camper van, you could rent one for a day for about five to ten thousand NT dollars. There are about ten or so companies specializing in camper van rentals. When renting, you might need to fill out an online form, agree on the rental period, and return the camper van within the agreed time. Some rental companies even offer various rental packages, such as stainless steel cooking sets, windproof and explosion-proof portable stoves, quilts, pillows, etc., making it convenient for customers to camp without worrying about equipment.

The approach of this company is that each franchisee invests between 790,000 and 1.39 million NT dollars to join. Together with other franchisees, they collectively own the camper vans. The company recruits customers through its platform. However, if a franchisee wants to use a camper van, they have priority because there are multiple camper vans within the company for convenient scheduling. Doesn't this sound like a sharing platform concept? That's what I thought. It's amazing how quickly businesses come up with new ideas. Some of my friends were quite intrigued by the sales pitch because they deeply understand the needs and pain points of the campers. They asked a lot of sharp and difficult questions, but the sales reps had all the answers. The biggest concern, however, is whether the return on investment could be as guaranteed as the company claims.

Every now and then, you'd hear congratulatory announcements for closed deals, which definitely tempted those who were wavering to sign up quickly. It's a bit terrifying, to be honest. However, my friends were still level-headed and said they needed to go home and discuss with their families before making a decision. After all, buying a vehicle is not something you decide on a whim. In the exhibition area nearby, you often see beautiful women casting their spells, capturing the attention of passersby. Coupled with the excitement of small giveaways, the companies should easily attract quite a few customers.

There's an old saying: "Don't go where the crowd is." Recently, there were a few ETFs boasting high dividends that were highly sought after by investors. Many people withdrew money from their bank deposits just to get their hands on these high dividend ETFs, aiming for stable passive income. However, after these ETFs were listed, they didn't follow the typical pattern of new stocks skyrocketing right after listing. Instead, they immediately dropped below their IPO price. This poured cold water on the dreams of investors immersed in high dividend hopes. It's a reminder to be cautious with any investment opportunity.
