Yesterday, half of Weibo’s hot searches were given to Jiyue cars, which is a rare moment of traffic in the car circle.
Xiaomi SU7 was the last one with such explosive traffic.
But this is not what popular style has come out of Ji Yue car, but that Ji Yue car “exploded”.
On the morning of December 12th hundreds of employees came to the headquarters of Jiyue Automobile to have a direct conversation with CEO Xia Yiping.
Employees excitedly asked Xia Yiping for salary and social security for an explanation, and some even worried that CEO would run away with the money and shouted “give us social security with your savings.
” In this regard, Xia Yiping said that “I have been working hard to solve the problem until the last minute.
” However, the staff did not buy it and asked Xia Yiping to hand over his passport.
When he escapes, he chases, and it is difficult for him to fly.
At the same time, through the camera shot of the photographer, we can also see that on the background wall of Xia Yiping’s speech, there is a slogan “there will be the name of every Ji Yue person in the history of smart cars in China.
” In the face of rumors of the collapse of Ji Yue car and the situation in which employees gathered to ask for wages, the slogan was particularly ironic at this time.
In response to the online reports and the news of relevant personnel within Jiayue, the editor of the automobile commune also came to the Jiayue Automobile headquarters at 1688 Yecheng Road, Jiading District in the afternoon.
The wind was piercing in the winter evening but there was not much difference in front of the headquarters of Jiyue.
The uncle beside the security pavilion was smoking leisurely.
Many cars were still parked in the internal parking lot and the lights in the office building were on.
Several trees were swayed violently by the wind, and the branches seemed to be constantly beating the LOGO behind it.
An employee told me: Xia is still here, the supplier is also here, shareholder representatives are said to be here in the evening, and everyone is still negotiating a solution.
, no matter what the final outcome of the negotiation, tonight will be a sleepless night for Xia Yiping, suppliers, shareholder representatives and Jiyue employees.
As for those car owners who already own cars such as Ji Yue 01 and Ji Yue 07, they will also regret their decision to buy a car for a moment.
At noon on the 12th, Ji Yue employee Xiao A posted on the social platform the content of “three months after joining the job, but disbanded in place”.
She said that the company did not pay its health insurance in October, did not pay its social security provident fund in November, and did not pay its salary in December, and Ninten1 is a long way off.
At the same time as the copy was released, Xiao A was blocking the door of the company’s conference room with a group of Ji Yue employees, waiting for what CEO called “two o’clock in the afternoon.
” At the same time, Xiao An also started looking for a job and asked if there was a car company recruiting a designer.
There are many Ji Yue employees like Xiao A who are facing unemployment and severing their diplomatic relations with their provident fund, and as they are approaching the end of the year, it is very difficult to find the job they want at once.
In his words: “this is not a good year.
” It was a video conference initiated by Xia Yiping in front of all the employees on December 11 that made the employees of Jiyue have a bad year.
The core content of this communication is to make internal adjustments.
Xia Yiping said that the more he wants to enter the “2.
0 stage of entrepreneurship”.
Subsequently, in an internal letter released on the same day of Jiyue, two solutions for layoffs were provided to employees.
There are two main types: one is severance compensation Never1, but there is no clear date for the payment of compensation, and the compensation for employees who have previously been laid off will be postponed.
the second is that they can stay, but their wages are suspended and social provident funds are not paid.
In this regard, many employees expressed dissatisfaction with this way of handling, which is also the reason why they blocked CEO on the 12th.
It is not only the employees who are worried but also the dealers of Jiyue.
Some salespeople said that they also did not pay their wages and social security.
On the night of the 11th, the female anchor of Jiyue Automobile, who was still doing a live broadcast a second ago, was suddenly informed that the company had been disbanded in situ.
The anchor who heard the news almost blacked out and burst into tears.
However, on the 12th, there was a live broadcast in Jiyue experience stores all over the country.
Interestingly, most of their traffic was much higher than usual, as if they were having a “decapitated meal”, and the best meal was the last meal.
In addition, supplier B complained to the car commune that “when I saw the more thunderstorm, I felt that the sky was falling.
” Learned from the mouth of the supplier, Ji Yue’s money is not easy to ask for, the previous project has not been settled, this thunderstorm is even more hopeless.
At the same time, on the same day on the 12th, a supplier issued a statement and spread the news that there was a debt of 37 million yuan.
The thunder of Ji Yue also frightened many people in the user group.
Xiao C, a friend of the editor, bought a Ji Yue 07 a month ago.
When the new car was on the market, Xiao C saw that the car looked good and the price was acceptable.
Coupled with the advertisements for intelligent driving, he picked up the car decisively.
Just yesterday afternoon, a friend sent a video complaint: the more extremely closed, can I still open my extreme 07? Will it be halfway off the road? Those who buy a car are worried that those who do not hand in the car are also worried.
Many would-be car owners posted relevant content on the social platform, saying that when they looked at the car, the sales took his mobile phone lock order directly, then reduced the price, and then went out of business, blaming themselves for being too young.
Others said that their sales had run away, “the money and the car were gone, and they were in a hurry.
” The dust of the times falls on everyone is a mountain.
From employees to dealers, from suppliers to car owners, the fate of a car company is related to the majority of an industry chain, which is an outcome that many people do not want to see.
However, the car market is also cruel.
in the knockout stage, new car companies such as Gaohe, Weimar, Nezha and other new power car companies have stormed one after another, and even the head dealers are shaking in the reshuffle of the car market and are about to fall.
It is in this case that the situation is endangered by Ji Yue Automobile.
As I spoke, it was 23:00 on the evening of the 12th, and an insider told me: the employee negotiator went in to negotiate for six hours, and the social security of last month (November) arrived within 25 minutes.
7 billion financial hole, Baidu is a “lifesaver”? Judging from the reply given by Ji Yue on the morning of the 12th, in the words of the employees, “it is the same as not saying that there is no solution to the problem.
” And there are no more than two results of the new round of negotiations, one is deferred compensation, and the other is that there are funds to come into the company to continue to operate, but from the current situation, the former is highly probable.
Seeing here some people can’t help asking: how can a good enterprise and Geely and Baidu work together to build a car collapse overnight? Oh, yeah, it broke down all of a sudden.
, Geyue is a brand born with a golden spoon in its mouth.
As a product of the cooperation between Geely and Baidu in car building, Geyue Automobile has been responsible for hardware technology since its establishment in early 2021, Geely has provided software support, and Yanhong has personally promoted it many times.
However, with issues such as car building qualifications, Geely took control of 65% of the shares of Geyue Automobile and gradually took the lead, while Baidu retreated behind the scenes.
This change in the equity structure has led to a delicate situation for Yue when obtaining resource support from both parties.
, there have been previous reports that the core of the sudden collapse of Ji Yue lies in the lack of support from shareholders.
As the main investor, Baidu is not optimistic about the prospects of Geyue Automobile’s profitability and chooses to stop losses in a timely manner.
while Geely, the largest shareholder, is mainly responsible for providing platforms and technology and collecting OEM fees.
With the release and implementation of the “Taizhou Declaration”, Geely, which optimizes its structure, is even more unlikely to invest in the country.
At this time, Baidu, which has “retreated behind the scenes”, its attitude becomes even more important.
Baidu invests money more and more, and Baidu cuts off payments more and more.
On the 12th, Geotsu CEO Xia Yiping also asked Baidu for support from afar: “Baidu owns 80% of the voting rights of Geotsu Motors, but shareholders have not given support.
” However, there are also reports that the condition for Baidu not to withdraw funds is that Xia Yiping leaves and no longer serves as CEO.
Because in October this year, Baidu sent a financial team to go into the extreme to prepare for the subsequent investment of 3 billion yuan, it found that there were a pool of bad debts and a financial hole of up to 7 billion yuan, so it decided not to continue investing.
Xia Yiping denied this and said that “the accounts can be audited.
” The problem is that it has been previously reported that Liu Jining, the chief financial officer of Goggo, lost contact and took away Goggo’s accounts.
According to Liu Jining’s latest IP positioning, there is a high probability that he has reached Singapore, and the financial hole of 7 billion yuan has become a bad debt that cannot be investigated.
, although it is rumored that shareholder representatives will arrive at the Geotsu headquarters tonight to participate in the next step of discussions, will Baidu take over the Geotsu Automobile that has reached this point?, In terms of sales volume, as of November 2024, the cumulative sales of Geyue Motors are only 14,000 units.
This sales level is not enough to support a new energy vehicle company to survive in such a cruel environment.
Coupled with a financial hole of 7 billion yuan and its participation in the history of China’s smart cars in this way, will Baidu still get involved in this muddy water? At this point in the knockout round of the auto market, Juyue is not the first one to be eliminated, nor will it be the last one.
However, when car-building finally became a game of capital, his original intention and the quality of his products were no longer important.
In the words of an employee of Koyue,”In the end, only thousands of working cattle and horses and tens of thousands of existing car owners will suffer.
“, At this point of writing, the author received a phone call from a friend asking me what I was doing.
After informing me, he said: “I’m sorry that the first time I learned the name of Kokoshi Motors was when it was about to go bankrupt.
