* * * Enjoy the bicycle company ofo official website, WeChat official account, APP, offline office ... All public channels have been unable to contact ofo. The deposit that the user wants to refund is still far away.
From unenforceable property to "going up in smoke"
According to Tianyancha's information, the registered address of Eastern Xia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd., an affiliated company of ofo, is Room 620, Building No.4 1 West Third Ring South Road, Fengtai District, Beijing.
But ofo is gone. In June 2020, Dongxia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd. was listed in the list of business anomalies by Fengtai District Market Supervision Administration of Beijing because it could not be contacted through its registered place or business premises.
On May 27th, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Communications publicized the operation, management and supervision of the Internet bicycle rental industry in the first quarter of 2020 in official website. Among them, Dongxia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd., the operating company of ofo bike-sharing, has been interviewed by the Beijing Law Enforcement Corps due to the interruption of data transmission, requiring rectification within a time limit.
But there may be no one to rectify it. In June 5438 +2020 10, the founder of ofo, Dai Wei, withdrew from the legal representative, executive director and manager, leaving an empty shell of ofo. Now, no matter the office or the customer service phone, you can't contact ofo.
"Vanishing" with ofo, and its executable attribute. According to the survey data of enterprises, as of July 25th, the operating entity of ofo, Dongxia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd., has been listed as the executor of dishonesty for 40 times, and has been issued with orders to restrict high consumption for 247 times, involving 227 cases, involving unfulfilled amounts exceeding 509 million yuan.
The so-called final adjudication case refers to a case in which the people's court, after exhausting the means of property investigation, finds that the person subjected to execution has no property to execute, and with the consent of the applicant or the collegial panel and the approval of the president, temporarily closes the case.
Public trust. Com found that the last time the supplier got back part of the payment through compulsory execution was in the ruling issued on April 20 19, and the court frozen the deposit of Dongxia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd. of about 2.89 million yuan.
Since then, Eastern Xia Datong has no execution property. Now there is only one question mark left in people's minds: when can my deposit be refunded?
As of press time, there are still millions of users whose deposits have not been refunded. Photo courtesy of respondents
Founder Dai Wei once shouted "live on your knees"
2065438+In the second half of 2008, the financial crisis broke out in ofo, and users could not return it normally. 20 18, 12, 17, ofo online deposit refund system, more than10 million users apply for a refund within 24 hours. Based on the minimum 99 yuan deposit, the deposit to be refunded is 10 billion yuan.
20 18 12 19, Dai Wei, founder and CEO of ofo, admitted in an internal employee letter that the company was under tremendous cash flow pressure, and "1 yuan was going to break into 3 yuan". He felt at a loss for countless times, and wanted to cut off all the working capital, and even wanted to dissolve the company and file for bankruptcy. But he finally chose to shoulder the pressure and "live on his knees."
Dai Wei also said that he will not escape, and will be responsible for every penny owed by ofo and for every user who supports ofo.
In order to cut costs, ofo has carried out a series of actions such as layoffs and moving, and also tried various ways to realize cash, including body advertising, content with traffic, and advertising. However, all these methods have proved unable to get ofo out of financial difficulties.
2065438+February 2008, Dai Wei was taken by the Haidian District Court of Beijing to restrict consumption because he failed to fulfill his payment obligations. According to enterprise survey data, in July 2020, Dai Wei was restricted by the court for the 35th time and was not allowed to take high-speed trains. Being "Lao Lai" may be a bit harsh for other entrepreneurs, but Dai Wei may be used to it.
According to enterprise survey data, Dai Wei has been restricted from high consumption for 35 times.
Under the pressure of funds, ofo began to play routines on deposit refund.
As early as 20 18, 1 1, ofo announced that 99 yuan deposit users can be upgraded to new users of Internet financial platform PPmoney with one click, and agreed to convert the deposit into 100 yuan for the above-mentioned financial projects, with a lock-up period of 30 days. After the upgrade, users can ride permanently without a deposit.
Most users questioned ofo selling users' personal information, and PPmoney finally went offline. But it turns out that ofo has never given up playing routines in refunding the deposit.
The APP was changed to a rebate online shopping website, and the official account of WeChat was changed to a marketing number.
The current ofo bike-sharing APP is more like an online shopping website with suspicious traffic diversion and rebate. The opening caption is "rebate on the whole network, save money on shopping", the icon has become "ofo rebate", and the words "* * * enjoy cycling" have been squeezed to the bottom of the screen.
Around the scan code calling button of ofo APP is the shopping guide button of various shopping platforms.
Its APP homepage recommendation is occupied by advertisements to promote the online lending platform. "880 yuan will receive it immediately, and the maximum profit in 15 days is 246 yuan" to attract users to buy.
Around the buttons of the code scanning car are "I want to borrow money", "Deer Mall" and "9.9 Special Price". Ofapp's current feature is "paying back money", and this change dates back to last year's revision.
On March 20 19, ofo launched a discount mall to guide users to upgrade the deposit of 99 yuan to 150 gold coins and upgrade the deposit of 199 yuan to 300 gold coins for shopping. However, the payment mode of "cash+gold coins" determines that users want to buy things and must pay extra.
Today, this model has not changed. In Lu Xiao Mall, the price of "2L Qingdao puree draft beer" is 59.9 yuan, suggesting that customers can buy it at the preferential price of "10 gold coin +49.9 yuan". However, the price of this product in JD.COM is two in 76 yuan and one in 38 yuan, which not only consumes gold coins, but also is significantly higher than other e-commerce platforms.
Other types of goods also have different degrees of premium, and users don't buy it. Some users said that "not counting gold coins, light cash is more expensive than direct purchase"; Some users said, "I don't want to buy anything, just want to get the deposit back."
Even in the large cash-back area, the cash-back ratio does not exceed 10%, and the daily necessities are even lower. Ofapp screenshot
If you want to get the deposit back by cash back from shopping, users have to spend at least several thousand more here.
If ofo APP can barely find the option of riding, the official account of ofo bike-sharing WeChat has nothing to do with "riding" and has become a marketing number. Entering the official account of WeChat, the article "Couples quarreling in the middle of the night: Some things are far more terrible than disharmony in sexual life" on July 23rd caught my eye.
The last time WeChat official account mentioned his main business, it was "Here I am" on August 26th, 20 19. Ofo has a new model covering the whole city of Shenzhen. How is the heap model different from the past? Ofo said that according to the new change rules, please return the car according to the parking spot on the mobile phone. If you park illegally, you will be prompted to send a text message for the first time, pay 5 yuan for the second time, and pay 20 yuan vehicle management fee for the third time and later.
In the face of various operations of ofo, some netizens expressed dissatisfaction: Isn't this to cut leeks?
Today, ofo lost contact! "Can millions of users who want to refund the deposit get their money back?" This has become a difficult problem.
