On the evening of January 31, there were rumors on the Internet that "there is news in the circle, at present, the official website, APP, and small program of Donkey Mother Travel Network can no longer be used normally, and the WeChat public account has been suspended for several months." It is reported that at present, most of the employees of Donkey Mother have been disbanded. It was not possible to pre-order the product and only a few employees remained. It's a pity!!"
Donkey Mama responded that the operation has been suspended at present, because some companies previously owed more than 2 billion yuan to the parent company of Donkey Mama, and some banks withdrawed, cut off loans or collected loans in disguise, resulting in cash flow difficulties. However, the business of other sectors of its parent company has not been affected, and the staff of the donkey mother sector are still on duty.
The donkey mother responded to the "banned" cash flow difficulties and is actively solving them
Up to now, the official website, APP, and mini program of Donkey Mama Travel cannot be opened, and its official service account was last updated in May 2023, and the official subscription account was last updated in December 2023.
On the evening of January 31, according to the daily economic news, the donkey mother responded that its partners and some companies owed more than 2 billion yuan to the "Flying Donkey Bay", which was difficult to recover for a while. "Some banks sued the company and blocked the account and domain name, which affected the operation of the enterprise. We have been actively communicating with all parties to resolve the issue as soon as possible. The donkey mother said.
According to Beijing Business Daily, the staff of Donkey Mother said that at present, only the Donkey Mother plate, that is, the sales plate, has been affected, and the other plates of Shanghai Feidon Bay are operating normally. But at present, the employees of Donkey Mother are still on duty and have not been "disbanded" as "rumors" say.
Talking about the follow-up plan, the above-mentioned staff said that due to the large number of enterprises involved in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, the recovery of arrears can not be completed in a short period of time.
"Over the past few years, Donkey Mother has accumulated a lot of loyal users, and the business of parent-child travel and self-driving travel is also good, and if the problem is solved, it will continue to operate. The above-mentioned staff member said.
The parent company of Donkey Mother is actually owed more than 2 billion yuan
