Wei Lai, something happened again!

On March 3, a netizen named "did you pull the ice cream today" revealed on social media that in his first month, a male colleague of the company sneaked into his room late at night and tried to rape him. After a two-hour battle of wits, the other party finally failed, and recorded at the first time, and before the other party called the mother to chase and snatch his mobile phone to delete the evidence, secretly reported to the police, and finally the male colleague was arrested on the spot. Because of the solid evidence, the male colleague has been sent to prison and is serving his sentence.

I thought the matter had come to an end, but I was surprised by the operation. The girl said, "I didn't take a leave after the accident, and I got off work late every day, and the performance was very outstanding. The product I was responsible for created great value for the company, and even was personally displayed by Li Bin on NIO DAY at the end of the year, but the company HR defined it as" a person at risk "and" will affect the image of the company ", which was eventually rejected by the company.

The girl questioned why it was the victim who affected the company's image. The company conducts anti-harassment courses for employees with great fanfare, but is this kind of attitude when it really faces a case? In addition, the girl also mentioned that in the first month of her employment, there were more than three known cases of sexual harassment in her half-floor work area, while some of the harassers were still working normally, but it was the victims who resigned. Is this NIO's attitude towards female employees and criminals? The girl said that after putting up with it for a long time, she still decided to send it out. She hoped that all the fresh graduates would open their eyes and carefully choose where to graduate. More hope that all the girls can be safe, do not meet bad guys!

After the incident was made public, it sparked a heated debate, and many netizens fought for grievances for the girl and went to the relevant accounts of Xilai to ask for an explanation.

NIO left a message under the relevant account: "Thank you for your attention." The company has set up an investigation team to conduct a comprehensive investigation, the company has zero tolerance for all kinds of illegal acts and sexual harassment, and insists that every colleague should be treated fairly and fairly.

At noon on March 4, NIO officially released a statement. According to the investigation by NIO, on August 6, 2022, an intern surnamed Xu tried to rape him after going out. After the party made a report to the police, Xu was detained. On August 18, Xu was approved to be arrested, and on August 19, the company terminated the internship relationship with Xu.

On February 28, 2023, the party left; he posted last night that he had not been retained by the company and was discriminated against as a result of the above incident. The investigation team is investigating its internship retention process, especially whether it has been treated unfairly in the process. We deeply sympathize with the experience of the parties in August last year and promise to give them a fair and impartial evaluation of their work.

NIO said that NIO Zero tolerates any illegal crime and sexual harassment, will conduct a thorough investigation into every report received, and will resolutely deal with the confirmed non-compliance. We also call for respect and protection of women's rights and interests at work and resolutely put an end to sexual harassment in the workplace.

The relevant instructions from NIO are also hotly debated. Some netizens think that they "copied the incident and did not say anything else" and "repeated some nonsense". Some netizens questioned, "August to now, exactly 6 months, the general company's social practice period is also 6 months, the end of February will go back to school to prepare for graduation defense and so on." It ends when the expiration is over. How can you still say that you have been dismissed? " Legal punishment has been impartially implemented in August last year. As long as you confirm whether the subsequent retention is fair or not. Some netizens also said, "you are not zero tolerance, you are just afraid of affecting sales,"disaster-like public relations ability is getting darker and darker", "really fair and just need public opinion, if it is not exposed, it is another matter."... Of course, is it true what girls say? It is not certain that whether there is any exaggeration is ultimately subject to the relevant investigation.

Speaking of which, NIO has not been having a good time recently.

Last night, Xilai announced its annual loss of 14.437 billion yuan, the highest annual loss on record.

According to the financial report, a total of 122486 new cars were delivered in 2022, an increase of 34.0% over the same period last year. The increase in delivery volume led to an increase in operating income, with total revenue of 49.269 billion yuan in 2022, an increase of 36.3% over the same period last year. Although both delivery volume and revenue have increased, it still cannot hide the current situation of losses. In 2022, the net loss of NIO for the whole year was 14.437 billion yuan, while the net loss of NIO in 2021 was 4.017 billion yuan, an increase of 259.4% over the same period last year. At the same time, NIO's gross profit margin also fell sharply, from 18.9% in 2021 to 10.4%, especially in the fourth quarter of 2022, when its car gross margin was only 3.9%.

In the conference call after the financial report, Li Bin said bluntly that "the pressure is relatively great." Indeed, due to the lower-than-expected results, Ulai US stocks fell 5.96% overnight, while Hong Kong stocks closed down 13.17% the next day to close at HK $69.2, the lowest since the listing.

Nowadays, is it more risky and affects the image of the company when it is exposed by NIO?
