Since March this year, LeTV's content executives have been in constant turmoil. In May, LeTV began a round of large-scale layoffs, involving LeTV, LeTV Holdings, LeTV Sports and other LeTV companies. Until yesterday, LeTV announced that Jia Yueting resigned as the general manager of the company and Liang Jun was appointed as the general manager. The LeTV VR team was also exploded today and has been dissolved.
In the context of social applications, someone asked anonymously, "Is LeTV VR dissolved?" As can be seen in the comment area, the employees who marked LeTV and the employees of LeTV Virtual Reality (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. made the following answers:
Letv VR has two teams, one of which has been completely dissolved through the external formation of VR team (Letv VR), and the other VR team from Letv Zhixin has indicated that it will retain and transform into other businesses.
Someone cares about VR. We quit at the end of last year!
Members of "another VR team from LeEco Zhixin" said that only a few people were retained and the rest were dissolved at the end of March.
It is also part of the reason to say that LeTV has no money, but it is not the most important. Now letv's high-level turmoil is fierce. Didn't anonymity explode yesterday? Jia Yueting replaced the CEO of LeTV with Liang Jun.
After dissolution, employees were assigned to other ecosystems.
Judging from the comments in the comment area, the LeTV VR team has been dissolved for some time, and the official Weibo of LeTV VR stopped updating on March 10. A former employee told Lei Feng. Com said that the VR team employees "partially jumped ship and dispersed to various business lines, but not many people remained", but at present, LeTV officials have not given any response. A person familiar with the matter said that some employees started their own businesses after leaving LeTV. It is said that Dai Li, the head of LeTV VR at that time, was trying to start a business in VR medical care.
At the same time, the third-party team that has worked with LeTV VR before told Lei Feng.
"Since the middle of last year, they began to owe money, and I have no business cooperation with them. There is no money, and it was basically cut at the end of the year. "
The industry insider said, "LeTV owes at least one billion. From cars to mobile phones, VR is just a small piece. " Another company also said that it was owed millions by LeTV, and now it is still worried about whether it can get the money back.
"Keep dragging until we can't afford it, and then sign a new contract. After the new signing, the second week told us that the company was dissolved and went to the headquarters. "
It is conceivable that VR is not profitable in the consumer market at present, and the input cost is huge. Obviously, as a marginal and unprofitable department, the VR team must be the first choice for being laid off.
