Recently, some media reported that the employees had gone to Weimar Huanggang factory to defend their rights because Weimar was in arrears with employees' wages. Relevant pictures show that the suspected Weimar employees tied a white banner at the entrance of Weimar factory, which read "Implementing Article 85 of the labor contract and demanding to pay economic compensation", "It is shameful for enterprises to pay wages in arrears, who will take care of employees' interests and pay me back my hard-earned money" and "How can corporate executives stand in society regardless of employees' interests".

Under the leadership of Weimar Automobile and Freeman Shen Weibo, the chairman of Weimar Automobile, countless people took part in the salary payment.

Employees, car owners, suppliers and dealers do not want Weimar to go bankrupt, because as long as Weimar survives, there is hope and their loss of interests can be minimized.

According to media reports, Weimar Automobile, a new force in car making, once again released a communication letter. In the letter, Weimar Automobile admitted that the company encountered difficulties and would further sort out and optimize the organizational structure to reduce costs and improve efficiency in order to survive and develop. The "Communication Letter" also mentioned the list of people returning to work and the actual business arrangements determined by various departments of Weimar. The company will try its best to ensure the wages of those who return to work and resume production, and the rest of the staff will be arranged to leave without pay according to business needs, and gradually return to work and resume production. In addition, in view of the problems existing in the current social security payment subject of Weimar Automobile and the fact that employees have not paid social security, Weimar decided to adopt an alternative scheme to re-pay pension, medical care (including serious illness and maternity), work injury and unemployment insurance for employees. The above arrangement will be implemented on February 25, 2023, and will take effect at the same time as the attendance cycle corresponding to this payday.

According to the report, the communication letter was released at the time of Weimar Automobile's February payday, and most employees did not receive wages and directly entered the state of unpaid leave. There are very few employees who can get the salary in February on the list of people who have resumed work and production.

Up to now, Weimar official website has not responded to the above news.

Since June 65438+ 10 last year, Weimar Automobile has been exposed to many problems such as "salary reduction and unpaid resignation of all employees". On June 65438+1October 265438+20221October, Freeman Shen, the founder, chairman and CEO of Weimar Automobile, disclosed the problems that Weimar Automobile was facing in an internal communication letter, including capital and cost control. At that time, Freeman Shen said: "Since June 5438 +2022 10, the company has implemented a series of cost reduction measures to cope with the financial pressure. The management of the company took the initiative to reduce the salary by half. At the same time, a series of financial measures will be taken to streamline the company's overall operating expenses and reduce operating costs. "

Since the beginning of 2023, Weimar Automobile has been plagued by negative news, including news that all employees leave their jobs without pay, factories shut down, stores closed, and funds are tight.

A week ago, Weimar Automobile issued a clarification statement in its official Weibo, and said: "Our company is concerned that many media have published and reprinted false statements and misleading information about the company's management and operation. Once the relevant articles were published, they caused some netizens to spread, reprint and discuss on major social platforms, which had a serious impact on the company's brand, reputation and personal reputation of enterprise management. Our company has issued a lawyer's letter for some false information, asking the relevant media to delete information that is not in line with the facts and stop misleading the industry and the public. " The statement also responded and clarified three rumors: "Weimar Automobile Finance Department set up a project without authorization", "Smart Parking Project" and a retired employee of Weimar Automobile said that "the management of the company gave the green light to its own project".

Subsequently, Freeman Shen forwarded the Weibo to his personal social platform and wrote: "Weimar did encounter some difficulties in the past year due to the objective influence of the epidemic situation and market environment. We are adjusting through a series of measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency, fully ensuring the resumption of work and production, and ensuring the experience of end users. Think hard before you leave! Thank you for your concern, and please don't believe it and wait for our good news. "

It should be noted that Weimar Automobile had to go public to solve the capital problem in order to save itself. On June 5438+1October 12 this year, Weimar Automobile issued a notice saying: "Apollo Smart Travel Group Co., Ltd. (stock code: 860 of Hong Kong Stock Exchange) and Weimar Group have reached a conditional sale agreement, and the total amount of shares proposed to be placed is about HK$ 396,543,808+08, and the proposed temporary financing is about RMB 720 million. At the same time, Weimar holds the standing financing of HK$ 654.38+0.5 billion promised by shareholders. "A person close to Weimar Automobile once said:" If all goes well, Weimar Automobile is expected to complete the listing of Hong Kong stocks in the second quarter of this year. "According to the plan, Weimar Automobile's new financing of more than 2 billion yuan was originally scheduled to arrive in February, but as of February 15, the financing has not yet arrived, which is one of the reasons that directly led Weimar to fall into a shortage of funds again.

According to Tianyancha information, Weimar Automobile has obtained 12 rounds of financing since its establishment, and the financing scale of the announced quota has reached 35 billion yuan. Investors include Shanghai State-owned Investment Platform, SAIC, Tencent Investment, Baidu, Sequoia China and hongta group. Weimar Automobile is one of the most financed car companies in the new army of car making. Despite this, Weimar Automobile is still in deep financial difficulties.

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest" is the natural law of development. The future development of Weimar is still uncertain, but everyone is still waiting for the "good news" from Freeman Shen. In the above statement, Weimar Automobile vowed that "the smart electric car track is a protracted war, and we believe that through a series of painful optimization and reform, Weimar Automobile will definitely be able to deus ex".
