"10 yuan Special Recharge" shows that if the recharge is successful, the deposit of 2.5 yuan will be refunded immediately.

Ofo bike-sharing once won more than 90% of the domestic bicycle market. However, in 20 18, ofo was exposed to news such as broken capital chain, difficult deposit refund and layoffs.

Southern Metropolis Daily reported last year that after * * * enjoyed the bicycle business, ofo began to use various marketing methods to revitalize the user assets waiting for the refund of the deposit in an attempt to continue to realize it. Today's ofo bike-sharing client is more like a rebate website with a deposit refund function entrance. In its original version 4.0, the function of "code scanning car" was juxtaposed with many entrances such as "checking deposit" and "9.9 special price", and the function of "I want to borrow money" was once introduced to drain many third-party installment online lending platforms. At present, the functions of "scanning code to buy a car" and "I want to borrow money" have all gone offline.

Previously, according to the China Consumer News, the reporter applied for refund of the deposit on June 65438+ 10/0, ranking 16598377. According to the minimum 99 yuan deposit of ofo, ofo owes consumers at least 654.38+06 billion. By 65438+February 10, ranking 16595549, the number of people queuing decreased by 2828.

In other words, the number of people who refund the deposit every day is about 46. According to this calculation, it will take about 988 years to refund the existing queuing deposit.

In June this year, ofo was forced to board the hot search of 1, 346,5438+0,000. At the same time, under this topic, many netizens said that their deposits were not refunded and they made their own rankings. One of them said angrily, "My refund deposit is also after 1, 346,5438+0,000".

As of June, the App data of ofo shows that there are still over130,000 users waiting to refund the deposit, and the deposit amount varies from 99 yuan-199 yuan. Even according to 99 yuan's calculation, the required deposit is nearly 65.438+300 million yuan.

According to Qixinbao's information, on September 27th, Eastern Xia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd., an affiliated company of ofo, once again became the executor of breach of trust, with the case number of (202 1) Jing 0 108 Zhi 2735, and the enforcement court was the Haidian District People's Court of Beijing. The specific situation of its dishonesty is "having the ability to perform, but refusing to perform the obligations determined by the effective legal documents, violating the property reporting system."

Since June 5438+ 10 this year, the company has * * * 5 pieces of information about the executed person, with a total execution amount of 55.29 million yuan. In the past three years, Dongxia Datong has been listed as the executor for more than 3 10 times, and as the executor for dishonesty for more than 40 times.

Recently, Eastern xia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd. and Xi 'an Branch of China Mobile Communications Group Shaanxi Co., Ltd. made a civil first-instance judgment on the telecom service contract dispute case. When ofo used the services and services provided by China Mobile, it did not pay the service usage fee to it in time as agreed in the agreement, and the accumulated arrears were about 6,543,800 yuan+0,730 yuan.

Bet on the capital and enjoy riding again?

* * * As one of the "four new inventions" in the past, enjoying bicycles has been favored by countless investors, and ofo was once one of the unicorn enterprises with the most development potential.

At that time, ofo was also favored by capital and completed several rounds of financing. According to official website data of ofo, from 20 15 to 20 18, ofo raised more than $2 billion.

In the second half of 20 18, ofo reported that funds were tight. At that time, the user responded that the ofo deposit was difficult to retreat. Then, in just a few months, the tree fell down quickly and the office was empty.

After a short leave, the capital returned to enjoy the tourism industry again. On1October 9th this year, 165438+Hellobike announced the completion of a new round of financing of US$ 280 million. Investment institutions include Ant Group and Alibaba. This is the first time that Alibaba has invested in shares, and it is also the second financing that Hellobike has obtained this year. In March this year, Hellobike received $234 million invested by Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd.. So far, Hellobike has completed more than 500 million dollars of financing on 202 1. Coincidentally, in February this year, Green Orange Bicycle also announced the completion of a new round of financing. In April last year, Green Orange Bicycle received the first round of financing of 654.38 billion US dollars.

Looking back on the development of bicycle ownership in recent years, even though the stage of competing for the market at low prices has passed and the industry has experienced several rounds of price increases, it is still difficult for bicycle ownership enterprises to reverse the loss situation. In April this year, Hellobike submitted a prospectus for listing on Nasdaq. Its financial report shows that in 20 18, 20 19 and 2020, Hellobike's revenue is 265,438+1360,000 yuan, 4,823.3 million yuan and 6,044.3 million yuan respectively; The losses were 2,207.5 million yuan, 65.438+50.46 million yuan, 65.438+0.654.38+33.5 million yuan respectively. In the first quarter of this year, Hellobike lost 383 million yuan after adjustment.

So is mobike. 2065438+On April 3, 2008, Meituan spent $2.7 billion to acquire mobike. 20 19, 18 On March 2, 2008, in the performance report of 20 18 released by Meituan, it also showed its revenue after the acquisition of mobike, with a net loss of 4.55 billion yuan, accounting for more than half of Meituan's overall net loss of 8.52 billion yuan. The first quarter financial report of Meituan 20021shows that the operating losses of new businesses and other branches, including * * * bike-sharing, have expanded from 6 billion yuan in the fourth quarter of 2020 to 8 billion yuan.

* * * The expansion of the traditional business of enjoying bicycles is limited, and * * * enjoying motorcycles has become the goal of all * * * enjoying travel enterprises. The person in charge of Green Orange Bicycle once said that in the second and third tier cities, considering that the local public transportation system is not very developed, motorcycles with relatively large batteries and high endurance will be used to solve the point-to-point traffic problem. In some second-and third-tier cities, electric mopeds with small batteries will be put in as a supplement to bus connection and short-distance travel.

With the blessing of capital, * * * bicycle-enjoying enterprises are no longer enterprises that simply compete for the "two-round" market. Since 20 19, Hellobike has gradually added new services in addition to two rounds of services-hitchhiking, taxi service and related services including Hello Hotel, Hello Life and Xiaoha Power Exchange. This year, Hello Electric Vehicle launched three smart electric vehicles.

Ofo refunds the deposit and pulls friends. 2 Recently, ofo*** enjoys bicycles because of the trick of refunding the deposit. In addition, many netizens reported that the original account of ofo could not be logged in, the verification code could not be received, and the registration of a new account was prompted to suspend registration.

"Charge 10 yuan to return to 2.5 yuan" and "Pull a friend into the pit to return 40%". Since ofo*** stopped operating, it is difficult to refund the deposit, which has also caused many complaints about consumer disputes, but it has not been effectively resolved.

Recently, some netizens found that ofo Mall launched the function of "The more friends, the faster cash withdrawal", as well as reward tasks such as friends placing orders, recharging 10 yuan and immediately withdrawing 2.5 yuan. The news was posted on the hot search, and a large number of netizens vomited: "I am not enough, but I still want to pit my friends?"

It is reported that as of June this year 165438+ 10, there are still at least13.76 million people waiting to refund the deposit. According to the current progress of refunding the deposit, it is obviously unreliable. According to the actual measurement, the APP of ofo has become a "rebate website". After clicking the product link, you will jump to different shopping platforms.

Because ofo has played tricks on the deposit refund many times, it has seriously overdrawn the trust of consumers. This move has not been recognized by the majority of users, but it has caused a lot of spit.

Ofo bike-sharing is a platform for bicycle travel without piles, which pioneered the mode of "bicycle travel without piles" and devoted itself to solving the problem of urban travel. Users only need to scan the QR code of the car on WeChat official account or App or directly input the corresponding license plate number to get the unlock password and unlock the ride. They can use it whenever and wherever they want, and they can * * * enjoy their bicycles on the platform of ofo * *, and get the free use right of all ofo bike-sharing for life, and exchange 1 for n vehicles.

Since its launch in June, 20 15, ofo bike-sharing has connected100,000 bicycles, providing more than 4 billion trips to more than 200 million users in 20 countries, more than 250 cities.

2065438+In September 2008, ofo bike-sharing was sued by Phoenix Bicycle for defaulting on payment; In the same month, some netizens reported that when using ofo bike-sharing APP, they were induced to consume when recharging the deposit or refunding the deposit. The relevant person in charge of ofo said that there is no misleading. 1On October 27th, 65438, another media disclosed that the deposit refund period in ofo bike-sharing was extended again, from the original1-10 working days to 1- 15 working days. From 20 18 to 10+0 10, ofo was included in the list of executed persons in many cases in Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court, Beijing Haidian District People's Court and other courts, involving over-standard execution of 53.6 million yuan. 2065438+On February 23rd, 2009, according to the data of Tianyancha, the court froze the deposit of RMB 6,543,800+0.45 million in Bailuoke Bank or sealed up other property with the same amount.

In June, 20021year, Tianyancha App showed that ofo bike-sharing affiliated company Dongxia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd. was listed as the executor by the Haidian District People's Court of Beijing, with the case number (202 1) J 0108 and the execution number 15027.

Ofo should ask friends to refund the deposit in three ways: "Charge 10 yuan to refund 2.5 yuan" and "Ask friends to refund the deposit". Recently, ofo was hotly searched for a routine to refund the deposit.

According to the reporter's actual measurement, at present, the activity entrance and related introduction of "Charge 10 yuan Refunds 2.5 yuan" have disappeared in the ofo APP interface, while the entrance of "Pull a friend to refund the deposit" still exists, but the customer service has not responded, so it is impossible to confirm whether the activity is effective.

Withdraw from the new routine and draw friends or enemies?

Ofo, which was declared bankrupt on 20 19, will come into people's sight every once in a while because of the obscene operation of returning the deposit, which will cause controversy and doubt without exception.

Recently, some netizens reported that ofo APP launched the function of "pulling friends to help you refund the deposit", saying that "the more friends are invited, the faster the deposit will be refunded, and there will be no cap". In addition, there are other functions, such as "friends ordering reward" and "special recharge 10 yuan". The specific introduction is "winning the prize only once, and the highest reward is 40% of the purchase amount" and "successful recharge"

"If you really have the money to retire, that would be great. However, the refund of the deposit is far away, and you have to pull people into the pit. Is this a friend or an enemy? " Some netizens commented like this.

The reporter165438+1October 2 1 found that there was no activity entry and related introduction for "charging 10 yuan to return to 2.5 yuan" in the ofo APP interface.

The entrance to "pull friends and refund the deposit" still exists. The activity introduction shows that "after your friends accept your invitation, you will form a successful team." During the event, TA will refund to the third-party platform for shopping, and you will all get the shopping commission of the platform reward, and the reward will be automatically credited to your account. " However, the event ended on March 25th, 2020.

Users can still share the "Invite Friends" link at present, but after being clicked by the shared user, the page will be displayed as "Need to rebind". Is this activity still valid?

165438+1October 2 1, Zhongxin.com tried to consult ofo customer service, but the phone could not be connected, and no one answered the online customer service.

Pan Helin, executive dean and professor of the Digital Economy Research Institute of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, said that the new routine of ofo refunding the deposit is neither reasonable nor legal, and it is even more immoral.

Pan Helin explained: "On the legal level, the agreement of the deposit itself must be returned unconditionally. Because liquidity problems cannot be repaid, then this is debt. If ofo goes bankrupt, it will be paid evenly within the company's assets. If ofo does not go bankrupt, the deposit should be returned as agreed. Even if there are any requirements for creditors, creditors should decide to set up a creditors' meeting. "

On the moral level, it is also immoral for ofo to turn users' creditors into marketers.

Ofapp became a rebate website.

Ofapp used to be the only entrance to refund the deposit, but this entrance can no longer be used normally.

The reporter actually found that in the Xiaomi application market, ofo app could not be found and was suspected of being removed; Cool security application market, ofo can be found, but not downloaded; In the one plus app store, there is a risk warning that "it is difficult to apply for deposit refund".

There are risk warnings in the application market.

Even if downloaded, it is difficult to log in. Many netizens reported that the ofo account login could not receive the verification code; When registering a new account, you will be prompted to "suspend new user registration". The reporter used Xiaomi Apple and other different brands of devices to test and found that only one successfully logged in, and the rest did not receive the verification code.

Today's ofo APP has completely become a rebate online shopping website, and the icon has become "ofo refund". The whole APP has no traces of enjoying the main business of cycling.

The products displayed on the APP homepage include food and beverage, household appliances, beauty and skin care, etc. , and can jump to different e-commerce platforms, such as JD.COM, Vipshop, and Deer Mall.

As early as 20 19, ofo began to test the water mall business, and launched activities such as "returning cash for shopping" and "exchanging deposits for gold coins to visit the mall". However, the settlement method of "gold coin+RMB" determines that consumers must recharge before they can buy things, which makes many users shout. Some users questioned that "it is not a gold coin, but only the cash part is more expensive than the direct purchase. What is the significance of refunding the deposit?"

Tens of millions of people are waiting to revoke custody, and some people have made no progress for five months.

According to the data in ofo App, as of June this year, at least 1 1 3.76 million people are still waiting for the deposit to be refunded. According to the lowest 99 yuan, the total deposit to be refunded is at least 654.38+36 million yuan.

There are still many users who report that compared with June, the ranking has not moved at all, and it is suspected that the refund has stopped.

Weibo users reported that the deposit refund ranking remained unchanged for several months.

Regarding the idea of rebate, Pan Helin said, "Because of the deposit refund problem, the ofo brand has been overdrawn. At this time, considering the e-commerce rebate, it is difficult to get traffic again. A platform that can't even pay the deposit, how to give the rebate of the merchant to the user? We should first restore our reputation and then start to promote the subsequent business transformation. "

Since the storm of ofo refunding the deposit, on the one hand, it is the waiting of tens of millions of users, on the other hand, its affiliated companies have become untrustworthy executors dozens of times.

On September 27th this year, Eastern Xia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd., an affiliated company of ofo, became the executor of dishonesty again. The case number was (202 1) Jing 0 108 Zhi 22735, and the enforcement court was Beijing Haidian District People's Court. The specific situation of its breach of trust is "having the ability to perform but refusing to perform the obligations specified in the effective legal documents, violating the property reporting system".

The data comes from the enterprise search app.

According to the data of the enterprise search APP, the company has 43 pieces of information about untrustworthy executors.

Pan Helin believes that ofo should be supervised. On the one hand, the problem of not refunding the deposit itself is illegal, and it is necessary to supervise its funds to prevent them from misappropriating funds for other purposes. On the other hand, in the context of privacy protection and data security, the modification of platform rules needs supervision. Even if ofo enters the field of e-commerce, is its financial situation capable of ensuring normal transactions between buyers and sellers? Therefore, it also needs supervision.

Did you receive the verification code of ofo? Where do you line up?
