Xuebajun's Shanghai headquarters is similar. On the morning of the 28th, no one answered the phone at the headquarters. Shanghai employees in the same building as Xuebajun told Ai Caijing, "This big melon is very close to me. I am on the 1 1 floor, and they (Shanghai Xueba Army Headquarters) work on the 10 and 12 floors. " According to informed sources, Xuebajun's Shanghai headquarters has begun to forcibly recycle the company's property such as computers and arranged for employees to leave their posts.
Since the beginning of this year, the education industry has been in constant turmoil, and Xuebajun has become another "shocking" enterprise after Yousheng Education.
Parents, employees and teachers are all victims.
Xuebajun was founded on 20 13, and its business mainly includes photo search, K 12 stage one-on-one tutoring and so on. Among them, Xuebajun APP is a student learning aid software, which provides online free answers to homework questions and difficulties for junior and senior high school students. Up to now, six times of financing have been completed. Among them, the latest one is Round C completed at the beginning of 20 17, with a transaction amount of 1 100 million USD.
However, it is such a star company that relies on well-known employers such as Trust Capital and China Merchants Capital, but it was smashed by funds and went bankrupt. In the past year, Xuebajun has also complained constantly, and various refunds are not timely.
Regarding the rumor that Qian ran bankrupt, Xuebajun's founder 65438+replied in a WeChat group on February 28: "I haven't lost contact yet, and I am trying to solve the problem. The company is already evacuating employees. "
It is also rumored that Xuebajun's Hefei business will be taken over by homework help. But then the relevant personnel in homework help denied this. The source said that homework help recruited staff in Hefei Branch, and local Xuebajun personnel came to apply, but homework help did not buy Xuebajun. It is rumored that the relevant personnel of 5 1Talk, another company that took over Xuebajun, also said that they did not know about "supporting Xuebajun" for the time being.
According to the internal documents of Xuebajun, the company delayed the payment of teachers' salaries in 1 1 month and 65438+February on the grounds of supplier payment and bank interface problems, and prompted that the payment time would be notified separately. At the same time, Xuebajun's academic director also posted a message in the circle of friends: "Xuebajun's partial acquisition is equivalent to bankruptcy, and everyone has no salary. At present, teachers are queuing to hand in their work mobile phones and card numbers. " According to the company, the greatest significance of recycling work mobile phones and mobile phone numbers is to cut off the contact between teachers and parents to avoid escalation.
Xuebajun has also promised the teacher to help him find his next home, and the next home will reissue his salary.
In addition, the director of education also said that teachers are also victims, and they hope to join hands with their parents to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests through the law. Now all the teachers, head teachers and planners have been dismissed, and all of them have no salary and no compensation.
What is even more worrying is that Xuebajun made hundreds of millions of money through speculation during the double 1 1 and double 12 periods. Xuebajun official website and Beijing branch headquarters still have promotional materials about the year-end performance sprint. Even on February 25, 65438, the sales staff were still enthusiastic and talked about the order normally.
Actually, parents who buy courses are also in trouble. Many parents not only apply for installment loan business, but also encounter the problem of delayed refund. As of February 28th, 65438, there were 2285 complaints about Xuebajun on Sina Black Cat Complaint Platform, most of which were related to the difficulty in refunding fees and false propaganda.
"When you sign up, you can get a refund if you are not satisfied with the promotion. Now the phone number is empty, the teacher can't contact, the customer service is unattended, and there is no way to refund. " Some parents even complained: "Registration at the end of 20 19, the course effect is not good. I applied for a refund in February at the beginning of the year, but it has not been processed so far. Not only is the phone number of the class teacher empty or can't get through, but the customer service phone number of the company headquarters is not answered. " Similar situations are too numerous to mention.
On the morning of February 28, 65438, Ms. Li, a parent who went to Beijing headquarters to defend her rights, said: "The company received it, but only filled out the refund application form. However, these have no practical effect. "
Set up a new company or transfer assets.
The latest public data shows that Xuebajun has more than 5 million student users. By the beginning of 20 19, Xuebajun had nearly 500 technicians, more than 300 teaching and research personnel, nearly 40,000 registered teachers and more than 50,000 paying users. In the eyes of the industry, such a huge scale of personnel is not unrelated to the vicious expansion of Xuebajun.
According to a person familiar with the education industry, "learning to bully has its disadvantages and is a typical vicious competition. Recruitment and sales in the same region, the basic salary of others is 2000 yuan, and Xuebajun tripled to 6000 yuan. People naturally flow to their own companies. However, what is extremely cheat people is that the phenomenon of wage arrears is very serious, and there are no layoffs and no compensation. "
In addition, an employee also revealed that Zhang, the founder of Xuebajun, had newly registered the company a few months ago, and Xuebajun was responsible for making the new company website. The employee also suspected that the assets had been transferred to the new company.
Tianyancha APP shows that March this year was an epidemic and a new company was established, which was related to Zhang, the founder of Xuebajun.
Suzhou Wanda Bar Education Technology Co., Ltd. was established on July, 2020, with a registered capital of 6 million yuan. The company profile says that it is an innovative platform of "Internet plus music" and an integrated professional content company responsible for music creation, operation and copyright management. Zhang is one of the shareholders of the company, but his shareholding ratio is not made public. On the recruitment platform, Suzhou Wannaba Education Technology Co., Ltd. released the position of "course sales consultant", and the position requirements are related to training courses. The office location given in the recruitment information is "Xuebajun, Jinmao Building, Zhangjiagang".
