The post-pandemic 2023 is both an opportunity and a challenge for many businesses.
Many companies have endured for three years, just waiting for an opportunity to regain the "three years that disappeared" because of the new crown!
But there are still many companies that have not survived, and some of them have been struggling to support for many years, and finally collapsed in 2023, with tens of billions of funds wasted and 10,900 closed down in one year.
What are these domestic enterprises? Is their decline really just because of the epidemic?
WM Motor with an annual salary of 1.2 billion
In 2015, Shen Hui, former vice president of Geely Holding Group and senior vice president of Volvo, founded WM Motor after acquiring a company in Germany, and decided to follow the rise of new energy at that time.
Through continuous partners, the head office in Shanghai was officially established a year later, which was also the completion of the first round of financing, and then in a very fast time, WM Motor officially announced its entry into the market in 2018 with the EX5 car, and expanded rapidly.
Such a rapid expansion was entirely due to the financing of WM Motor's 10 billion yuan, and among all the car companies at that time, there was no comparison with WM Motor in terms of financing amount alone.
Until 2023, WM Motor's sales will even begin to be exported to many countries and regions around the world.
In the three years since 2019, WM Motor's loss has reached 17.4 billion yuan, and in terms of R&D and other expenditures, WM Motor has surpassed other car manufacturers.
But the most shocking thing is that the news of the founder of WM Motor's "1.2 billion annual salary" also makes countless people curious, where is WM Motor's tens of billions of financing spent?
The car was on the road and was still open, and suddenly the car machine stopped in the middle of the road with a black screen, and picked up the mobile phone to see, the car company actually went out of business, if this really happened, it would be a big joke.
WM Motor finally filed for bankruptcy reorganization in October 2023, not only WM Motor, over the years, we have always seen many car brands that have never heard of the name appear, but in the car market, they can't make a splash.
The beauty of the twilight of the hero
Before the Spring Festival in 2023, some people can receive year-end bonuses, and some people can wear big red flowers, but Huang Guangyu, the founder of a 100 billion retail giant, was blocked in the office by employees, begging for wages!
Huang Guangyu, who was once able to call the wind and rain, was the former richest man in China, how did he bring this good game of chess to death, and even employees popped up on Gome's APP and scolded him.
Since Gome's stock price fell by more than 90% and offline stores closed down by 90%, Gome's employees also chose to give up, and the headquarters of Nuoda suddenly became empty.
The debt is more than 50 billion, but all the funds of Gome at that time add up to only more than 2 billion, not only the debt cannot be repaid, but the salary cannot be paid, what can employees do here?
Before 2010, Gome had almost no rivals in China, and in his most glorious moment, even Wanda, Evergrande and other groups could not be compared with Gome.
However, Gome has always insisted on offline retail, and since the rise of the Internet, Gome not only did not take this hitchhiker, but missed it perfectly, which has become the most direct reason for Gome's bankruptcy.
In 2008, Huang Guangyu was taken away for investigation on suspicion of illegal loans, and in 2010 he was sentenced to 14 years in prison, and after a series of commutations, Huang Guangyu was released from prison in 2021.
After Huang Guangyu was released from prison, he also officially announced the acceleration of Gome's demise, whether it is short video, live broadcast and other fields, or new energy vehicles and other fields, Huang Guangyu has a great appetite.
He seems to have forgotten the truth that he can't become a big fat man in one bite, he only remembers the crazy expansion of offline stores, but forgets that the Internet has completely risen at that time.
The most terrible thing is that when he chose to frantically expand offline stores, the epidemic was raging, so when his expansion was completed, Gome finally couldn't hold on.
Looking at the crumbling Gome, Huang Guangyu did not see his own problem at all, but believed that the decline of Gome was the problem of employees, and the employees' work attitude was not positive.
So the internal rectification began, and the employees of Gome began to scold, and the requirements for employees were very strict during the meeting, but Huang Guangyu, as the boss, was playing games!
During the day, employees work all day, but Huang Guangyu is monitoring everywhere to see who is listening to music, etc., except for work, employees can't do anything, and finally can go home after work, but Huang Guangyu called to a meeting.
Under such an inhuman management model, many old employees chose to resign, not to mention new employees to join the company, and Gome at that time could be said to be an abyss that everyone wanted to stay away from.
Some people say that if it weren't for the help of Huang Guangyu's wife, Gome might have gone bankrupt long ago. In any case, under Huang Guangyu's erroneous management methods, Gome's bankruptcy has become a foregone conclusion.
The 24-year-old semiconductor company perished
According to official reports, as of December 11, 2023, 10,900 companies in the field of chips and semiconductors in China have closed down, an increase of 89.7% over the previous year!
If it is evenly distributed, it means that at least 31 companies are closing down every day, and it can be seen from Huawei's experience that the chip industry has been hit hard over the years, and one of the old companies that has been established for 24 years has also gone to extinction.
Xiamen Lianchuang Microelectronics was established in December 1999, formerly known as Xiamen Microelectronics Integrated Technology Research Center, which is a state-owned scientific research unit.
Among the first batch of 11 key integrated circuit design enterprises recognized by the state, the position of Lianchuang Microelectronics is very important, even in 2001, the global semiconductor is declining, but Lianchuang Microelectronics has maintained an upward trend.
At its peak, many products were in short supply, and over the years, there were a number of products that were granted national patents.
In the initial home intelligent product market, Lianchuang Microelectronics once occupied more than 90% of the market share in Xiamen, and even joined forces with relevant Taiwanese enterprises to go global.
But such a large boat was finally forced because it was unable to repay the arrears, and at that time, there was only a pitiful deposit of 1,000 yuan in the account of Lianchuang Microelectronics.
The chip semiconductor industry has always been a headache for domestic enterprises, and the chip field is not only difficult to research and develop, but also suppressed by foreign companies.
Under this kind of high-intensity competition, there are still new enterprises in China, and Huawei's success in the chip field has given domestic enterprises sufficient confidence.
In 2023, when the epidemic has just been experienced, many businesses are crumbling, these former giants have also gone bankrupt, and countless small businesses have collapsed.
