" Ofo employee Huang Shanshan (alias) go to a company every week, can nailing the work in the same placing that be on speaking terms asks on the hammer to still be in be absent.
Chief was denied to this print related Ofo cut to 300 people this one view, but the office division of headquarters already from 4 cut reach two, amid inside gate, put the great frame work that has filled up with medal, and the labour around show loneliness slightly however. Idle station is increasing, disband meal has Yue Qin more, huang Shanshan returns the account that did not take, it is to want to wait for spring season of invite applications for a job leaves his post again.
"The company arrives from original flourishing now such, make me right whole shared bicycle industry to generate suspicion, is this a logical pattern after all? " the Li He that the middle ten days of a month joined Ofo 2016 (alias) those who witnessed a company is brilliant with desolate. Graduate of Li He college came Ofo, group member not plan the atmosphere that gain and loss, interest makes toward one place makes him gutty " I am changing the world " feeling, but the grandiose waste that later period appears gradually, arrogant and complacent wait for a phenomenon, let his be bitterly disappointed again.
Why can Ofo take this one step, will it move toward future where?
What capital wraps nip to fall is mad run quickly
2017 second half of the year, the destiny of Ofo produces a turn.
Before this, ofo is the star that Dai Wei of Beijing University graduate student founds shares economic project. 2016 this year, ofo finished the financing that is turn for C annulus from A, to the whole nation many 200 college of 20 many cities is popularized, walk out of campus, enter urban market.
In January 2017, ofo announces with " a day of one city " speed enters 11 towns thick and fast inside 10 days. According to the media coverage at that time, dai Wei states the bicycle of Ofo produces the decuple above that can have achieved a competitor, for Ofo rapid layout whole nation provided safeguard.
2017 is to share bicycle one year the most brilliant, according to publishing a material, share bicycle one this year to put in a quantity to be as high as 23 million, ofo and rub do obeisance to began financing, allowance and put in a contest. Double tycoon is in close-fitting than going all out while, from July 2017 only then, realize empty bicycle, cruel to ride bicycle, Xiaola bicycle, small cry bicycle be immersed in in succession close down, amalgamative.
In the meantime, ofo and rub the capital catenary after the competition that do obeisance to also does it is critical bury next hidden trouble. According to publishing data, ofo finished the financing of more than 1 billion dollar first half of the year 2017, begin to put in new car in great quantities. But the report says, investment orgnaization high level divulges Ofo is in E annulus financing has the 700 million dollar that announced to obtain in July in those days actually only 600 million dollar, and be not burned to two months smooth.
Arrived in October, through riding freely, the activity such as one January card, ofo announces day order is broken through 32 million, grow more than 31 compared to the same period times, entered the whole world 16 countries, exceed 180 cities.
Take a sudden turn and become worse rapidly is after peak. The financing of 1 billion U.S. dollor in the hearsay does not have pocket, the investment that already completed pair of Ofo in September 2017 according to reporting soft silver is in uses up tone, decide finally to abandon investment however. The capital problem that shares bicycle trade right now has been exposed come out.
In November, rub do obeisance to with Ofo divert the message of gap of financing of fill of 6 billion yuan of cash pledge is exposed to the sun to go out, two companies all were not responded to directly whether divert, the mode that this lets share bicycle sufferred unprecedented doubt. Independent development holds to before and allege the option that the investor that ends a war inside short time also begins to consider to incorporate.
But judge from public data, dai Wei does not accept amalgamative plan, because this has shareholder,censure Dai Wei to override his rights and interests on the rights and interests of all investor. And Dai Wei publishs a response, "Thank capital very much, capital helps strength the rapid development of the enterprise, but the ideal of the person that capital also wants understanding to do poineering work and determination. But the ideal of the person that capital also wants understanding to do poineering work and determination..
Till April 2018 rub do obeisance to beautiful group of sell oneself or a member of one's family, amalgamative plan aborts thoroughly. Some envy Huang Shanshan rub the employee that do obeisance to: "How can leave a heart at least. " administrative layer often passes an information of a few fronts, associated author piece the employee of ministry of the career outside Si Ding Xianghai divulges abroad branch may have independent capital to come in, the employee of another branch expresses " impossible, abroad had done not have how many business, the market that relies on Singapore is being maintained " .
With drop drop break with
Missed amalgamative, ofo oneself value also is in ceaseless shrink. Buy the intent book of Ofo according to drop of a drop, in August 2018, drop drop ever planned to buy Ofo with the appraise value of 2 billion dollar, be denied one after another by Ofo government and its investor. Later, circulate the value has reached an Ofo estimate on the market the sound with 1 billion lower even dollar.
Ofo and drop drop ever had had a paragraph of honeymoon period, with the break with of drop drop, ofo be consideringed as takes today's one large crucial account.
On September 19, 2016, dai Wei sees a drop CEO Cheng Wei, after ten days, both sides invests intent book below the autograph. After drop drop is entered, well-known fund is rapid follow-up, be in next in a few rounds of financing, drop drop continues to follow cast, become Ofo large stockholder, have one ticket veto. In July 2017, former drop drop is advanced vice-president Fu Jiang joins Ofo to allow to carry out a president, direct Xiang Daiwei is reported, liu Sensen of chief inspector of finance affairs of former drop drop is in charge of financial department.
According to the report, the investment of soft silver by drop drop pull wires, trade finally die young, ofo is immersed in capital catenary crisis. Right now drop drop begins to facilitate Ofo and rub do obeisance to amalgamative, drop drop hopes to control an aspect by him palm, this lets Dai Wei be accepted hard, cause bilateral relationship occurrence ill will. November 2017, the person such as Fu Jiang leaves Ofo, for many times the setting of be in the news is, dai Wei is developing a telephone that Fu Jiang is huffish: "The person of drop drop leaves Ofo to me! "The person of drop drop leaves Ofo to me!!
To alleviate capital pressure makes Heng Di drip at the same time, ofo seeks support to Alibaba. Written guarantee first in Ofo and A result from in April 2017, the strategy that Ofo announces to obtain ant gold to take invests. 2017 the end of the year, jin Shajiang is achieved cast tiger of president Zhu Xiao to sell the share in the hand be mixed in A drop.
January 2018, the message says Ofo was finished by the financing of 1 billion dollar that cast is gotten in A, this financing aborts finally. Later, ofo obtains 1.77 billion yuan of loan in A through carrying the kind of guaranty movables. March, the means that Ofo runs paralell through equity and bond was obtained the 866 million dollar that send is gotten in A, latter is able to enter Ofo board of directors.
Ofo seeks a balance between drop drop and A Lizhi, also doubt is like those who come from a drop to hit pressure. The hearsay says in August 2018, ofo Xiang Ali gives out urgent loan to fail to succeed Zhang, because drip,be drop tardy pussyfoot. To such censure, the response of drop drop respect is, "The company never has used veto in Ofo financing or loan process, also had not happened to reject signature condition; All the time since the equity that drop drop supports Ofo or bond financing. All the time since the equity that drop drop supports Ofo or bond financing..
After the message that is bought by drop drop with 2 billion dollar recently comes out, drop drop first the manner replies toughly directly, show a drop " never had had the intention that buys Ofo, affirmatory also future will continue support its develop independently " .
Still continueing with the seesaw battle of drop drop, invite and offer to breath out to go out to incorporate with its all right not if really, the prospective direction of Ofo is more and more ambiguous.
