On February 22, #ofo Xiaohuangche was completely unable to log in to #rushing to Weibo hot search.
On the afternoon of February 21, some netizens found that the ofo little yellow car client could not receive the SMS verification code, and users could not log in. If you use the ofo applet to test, the network is abnormal. If you call the official ofo 400 customer phone, the prompt cannot be connected; Call the office phone number published on the company's official website to indicate that the computer has been turned off.
At about 19 o'clock on the same day, the reporter repeatedly called the official 400 customer phone number of ofo, indicating that it could not be connected; Call the office phone number published on the company's official website to indicate that the computer has been turned off. "Give me back the 199 yuan deposit." "It's been 6 years, and I've almost forgotten." On social platforms, netizens have complained that the deposit of ofo small yellow car has not been refunded.
Another netizen posted, "My deposit is completely lost." ”
The reporter noted that for more than a year, ofo and its affiliates have been on the cusp.
According to the Qichacha APP, Dai Wei, the founder of ofo Xiaohuangche, is associated with 12 companies such as Ningbo Weili Investment Management Partnership (limited partnership), Beijing Byklock Technology Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Ofer Hesheng Network Technology Co., Ltd., and serves as chairman, general manager, executive director and other positions in 6 of them. In addition, through equity investment, Dai Wei indirectly holds the equity of 93 enterprises, and its business territory involves leasing and business services, financial industry, scientific research, IT, etc.
It is worth noting that Dongxia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd., the operating entity of ofo Xiaohuang Car, has been executed with an amount of more than 28.17 million yuan, and the amount of untrustworthy enforcement has reached 64.46 million yuan.
In addition, the company also has a number of final case information, and the total amount of unfulfilled exceeds 668 million yuan. (Note: Final refers to the court's ruling to terminate the enforcement proceedings when no property available for enforcement is found in the enforcement case.) There is no restriction on the enforcement period after the final cost of the case. ）
At the same time, Dai Wei has also failed to fulfill its statutory obligations due to affiliated enterprises, and currently has a total of 38 pieces of restricted high-consumption information.
On December 1, 2022, the Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court of Zhejiang Province announced to ofo affiliates Ofo Hopsheng Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Lifang Lingdong (Beijing) Data Service Co., Ltd. the service of a copy of the complaint and a summons for the trial of a loan contract dispute case. The plaintiff, Zhejiang Tmall Technology Co., Ltd., requested the court to order that Dongxia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd., an affiliate of the defendant ofo, immediately pay the plaintiff's loan principal and corresponding interest totaling more than 538 million yuan, and the defendant Dai Wei shall bear joint and several liability for liquidation.
In January 2023, Dongxia Datong (Beijing) Management Consulting Co., Ltd. added a new resumption of enforcement information, with an enforcement target of more than 22.76 million yuan, the cause of the case was a dispute over a sales contract, and the enforcement court was the Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Court.
On February 2 this year, an additional piece of information on the enforceees of ofo's affiliate Beijing Byklock Technology Co., Ltd. showed that in November 2020, the Haidian District Administration for Market Supervision fined Byklok 150,000 yuan for its illegal act of fraudulently obtaining consumer prices or fees and failing to provide goods or services as agreed, and after being alerted, Byklock still failed to perform its obligations, so it applied for enforcement, and the court ruled to grant enforcement in January 2022.
Founded in 2014, ofo is one of the first batch of shared bicycle companies in China, and by 2016, "Little Yellow Car" had covered 22 cities and more than 200 universities across the country, providing more than 40 million shared bicycle travel services. As the market share of the shared bicycle business was gradually eroded, ofo began to launch functions such as rebates and borrowing money in an attempt to monetize again.
Since the end of 2018, ofo has fallen into a capital chain crisis and continues to be criticized for its inability to refund deposits. In November 2021, ofo also launched the "Solicit Friends to Return Deposit" campaign, which shows that the more friends you invite, the faster the deposit will be refunded, without capping. At that time, many netizens said, "Forget about the pit money, let us pit friends!" ”
Ofo's official Weibo post stopped at an August 2019 statement in response to rumors of recycling 5 yuan per vehicle, with more than 20,000 comments below, all asking for their deposits.
Previously, ofo founder Dai Wei once made it clear that the deposit of the little yellow car has not touched a penny. According to conservative estimates from industry insiders, at least 16 million people's deposits have not been returned, almost unchanged from the unfulfilled amount of 668 million yuan. Therefore, even if the court resumes enforcement, it is likely that the previous ofo user deposit will continue to be owed.
Some netizens complained that ofo's client has long been of little practical use, and has not been uninstalled because it will occasionally log in to see if there is any miracle in the ranking of the queue to refund the deposit, and now it is not even possible to log in, obviously completely cool, the deposit no longer thinks.
