According to a report by Phoenix.com Technology, recently, the media visited the Beijing factory of Ideal Automobile, located in Shunyi District, Beijing, and learned that some employees of the factory have been on vacation since Tuesday and are expected to go to work next Monday. A person familiar with the matter said that when the Ideal Beijing plant first started production, it only had two days off on Saturdays and Sundays a week. Since about a month ago, some employees have taken three days off and are no longer required to work on Fridays. From this week, some employees will be able to take a further 6-day leave and only need to work on Mondays.
This does not mean that all employees of the factory are on holiday. For example, at about 8 o'clock in the morning on Friday, some employees of the ideal manufacturing department and suppliers entered the factory one after another. The people said the number of employees who came to work at the factory during peak production was more than three times as many as on Friday. At present, thousands of Ideal MEGAs have been completed in the parking lot of the Ideal Beijing Factory, with a total output value of more than 500 million yuan. The Li Beijing plant is based on Beijing Hyundai's first plant, which is mainly used for the production of pure electric vehicles, with a production capacity of 100,000 units in the first phase. At the moment, the plant is only responsible for the production of the Ideal MEGA.
Recently, Li Auto has encountered various crises. According to the Electric Zhijia report, after the May Day holiday, Ideal is carrying out a new round of company-wide personnel optimization, and the overall optimization ratio is as high as 18%. According to the 2023 financial report, Li Auto has nearly 31,600 employees, a year-on-year increase of 63%. In terms of optimization ratio, more than 5,600 people were involved in this round of optimization. (Another big layoff by a new force!) ）
According to a report by Electric Zhijia on May 16, Li Auto was sued by American investors on the grounds that "the company and some of its executives made false statements, violated the securities law, exaggerated market demand and their own operating strategies, and caused the stock price to fall and caused losses to investors." On the evening of May 16, Li Auto responded: There is indeed a relevant lawsuit, but this accusation is groundless, and we will do our best to protect the interests of the company and shareholders. (Suddenly!) Ideal was sued by investors as a class member)
