AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/22 Report--

Recently, netizens on Zhihu platform released a number of articles about the inside story of NIO, which mentioned the news of massive layoffs, self-directed and self-acting employees buying cars, and employee misconduct, which aroused widespread concern after the article was released. In response to the incident, Xilai officially issued an official statement in response, saying that the news was pure fabrication and that the content of the release was unfounded.

Statement

Yesterday, rumors of massive layoffs and employee misconduct at NIO attracted widespread attention. NIO attaches great importance to this and now explains the relevant situation:

The so-called "sales fraud" and "substantial layoffs" are pure fabrication. By the end of February 2019, Lailai had delivered a total of 13964 ES8, of which only 2 per cent of the ES8 was shared with the company after employees bought and purchased it themselves. At the same time, as a start-up, Ulai has entered the stage of fine operation and systematic efficiency improvement, and will adjust the business structure and optimize the corresponding personnel structure according to the development strategy. At the same time, we will continue to attract outstanding talents.

The publisher's statement about the misbehavior of employees in NIO is purely subjective and lack of factual basis. We strongly condemn this malicious act of slandering the employees of Xilai. The company and the employees involved in the rumors reserve the right to take legal action against the publishers of the rumors.

We note that the existing media platforms reprint the above rumors, and we hereby appeal to the media to avoid reprinting this false information and mislead readers. We welcome the rational supervision and suggestions of friends from the media, and hope that the media can work with us to promote the healthy development of the industry based on the principle of respecting news facts.
