It has seriously damaged the social evaluation and commercial reputation of Xilai. I feel deeply guilty and remorseful about my actions and the negative impact.

It is understood that the Weibo account of "NIO legal Department" was opened on May 8 this year. On May 10, the Ministry of Justice of NIO said that recently, a number of organized and large-scale malicious attacks on NIO and NIO users, as well as a large number of negative comments on the Internet with the same content and the same theme, will safeguard their legitimate rights and interests through litigation and other means. At the same time, it also pointed out that it had filed a lawsuit against Douyin millionaire Che Shiji, demanding an apology and compensation of 2 million yuan. On May 15, the legal Department of NIO said: "Mavericks saying cars" has released more than a dozen short videos in a row, using insulting, vulgar, vulgar and vilifying words to fabricate facts and distort and interpret information about NIO users. today, Lulai's lawsuit against Gu Yubo, the holder of Douyin account "Mavericks saying cars", has been officially filed by the court. The court has issued a subpoena to the case in which Gu Yubo, the holder of the Douyin account "Mavericks said car", infringed his reputation right, and the trial will begin in June 2023, the NIO legal Department said in another statement on May 22.

The "netizens to NIO compensation and apology" is the fourth Weibo released by the NIO legal Department since its establishment.

At the same time, the legal Department of NIO also said in the article that it thanked the five friends who provided relevant clues and evidence of infringement to Wei, and gave them corresponding rewards.

In fact, NIO is not the first car company to "reward whistleblowers", after Great Wall Motor also issued a 10 million reward order because of the Internet Water Army. Great Wall Automobile officials said that since the launch of the "Clean net Operation" on March 10, offering a reward of 10 million yuan, it had received nearly 1,000 reports from netizens as of July 14, and "some malicious smear acts by the Internet Water Army have entered judicial proceedings." and issued bonuses on Weibo to 26 netizens who provided important clues.

In fact, whether it is the opening of the Ministry of Justice or the net operation of Great Wall Motors, these measures are undoubtedly to maintain the image of their own brands and achieve a deterrent effect to some extent. After all, the current brand maintenance of car companies depends not only on users' word-of-mouth, but also a lot of public opinion from the Internet.
