Recently, some media reported that all employees of Tour car Network are waiting for the minimum wage. Related news shows that all the performance bonuses of the group car have not been paid in the second half of last year, and all the staff are waiting at home after December 30, and the time for getting back to work is not fixed, during which only a minimum wage of 2000 yuan / month will be paid. After the incident was exposed, the outside world questioned the truth of the group car building.

On January 5 this year, Tuan che posted a high-profile post on Weibo: "2022, we are also going to build a car!" Do you think it's crowded? " And Aite Xiaoli (NIO, ideal Automobile and Xiaopeng Automobile). On the same night, Tuan car also announced a new strategic plan, saying that it would form a new electric vehicle business line by setting up a team, including design, research and development, production, etc., and enter the field of electric vehicle manufacturing.

However, perhaps because the popularity of the group car network was not high before, the news of the group car network's entry into the bureau did not attract much attention, until ideal car founder and CEO Li Xiang forwarded in his personal Weibo an interview with the media after the group car CEO Wen Wei announced that he was building the car. Li Xiang bombarded the entrepreneur's bottom line, and said that "group car building is not to find a liar, chances are that he is also a liar." This matter was hotly discussed by netizens and quickly boarded the hot search, and the car-building incident also attracted everyone's attention.

Wen Wei also quickly responded to Li's comments on his personal Weibo. Wen Wei, CEO of the tour car, replied, "I didn't expect that the first shot in the face of the long March came from Mr. Li Xiang." Apart from rhythm and patience, do you forget your eyes and judgment? Isn't it because Feng Sihan was wronged and sprayed too early at the beginning? So no one should think of themselves as prophets, nor should they be the ones they hold grudges most. " Later, Wen Wei also said: building a car will not be a joke, and Li Xiang is cordially invited to attend the first product launch of the group car.

So far, in response to the news that all employees of Tuan che net are waiting for work to receive the minimum wage, according to the Financial Economics Network, the relevant person in charge of Tuan che net responded to "affected by the scattered epidemic, according to the requirements of epidemic prevention in many places, in order to avoid large-scale crowd gathering, at the same time, in order to maintain the orderly development of business in the future, offline car show business has been suspended since January 2022, and other businesses are still advancing in an orderly manner during the period when the epidemic situation is alleviated."

In this context, in November 2018, Tuan car was successfully listed on NASDAQ, which is known as the first new retail share of cars listed in the United States, but the listing did not bring better development for Tuan che network.
