Domestic operating system manufacturers red flag dissolved liquidation staff rights

February 10, the central branch of the red flag in Beijing, pasted a new notice on the door, notify all staff, the company formally dissolved, the employee labor contract all terminated, the company entered the liquidation process. With this announcement, the history of the 14-year-old manufacturer of homegrown operating systems could end. Red Flag is the most well-known domestic operating system manufacturers, by the company launched the Red Flag Linux operating system at home and abroad enjoy a high reputation, in the server and PC field also has a successful market application. But since last April, the company has suddenly been exposed to the problem of a broken capital chain, and gradually reached the point of dissolution of liquidation. February 10, 2014, Red Flag posted the company liquidation notice. The Beijing headquarters of the red flag in China has been evacuated, the door is locked, and the reception desk is left in the office. Why did the red flag come to such an intolerable situation today? Because of his own mismanagement? Or is it because the relevant government funds are not in place? Or is there another reason? Suddenly plunged into a loss in April 2013, hundreds of red flag employees were summoned to meetings. Red Flag President Jadong told employees, the company's capital chain problems, the monthly wages can not be issued as scheduled. Jadong did not give too much explanation, employees were dissatisfied, but still forced to accept the fact. The situation will soon be over for employees, but the end result is that wages will not be paid after April. At first, the red Flag staff have office space, but last December, due to long-term arrears of property rentals and other costs, the red flag in Beijing Haidian District Zijin Building headquarters was MPF hydropower, forced to close the door. Red Flag employees tried to get executives and staff representatives to talk to the board of directors and negotiate a solution to the problem of unpaid employee wages, but no end. In the end, employees chose to apply the law to the Haidian Court for Labour arbitration. Although the final court at the beginning of this year to facilitate the staff of the arbitration, but the staff has not yet received a total of tens of millions of dollars in wages. Rights-free to let the red flag employees are exhausted, but they never understand a normal operation of the company why will suddenly fall into a loss, the problem of capital chain fracture. Many people in the red flag for many years in the staff told Sina Science and technology: "Since 2004, the red flag in the division has actually been in a profitable state." "According to staff, Red flag in recent years has been relatively robust development, customer size is also expanding, even though the company in the past few months in the chaos, there is still a stable sales of money, and customers have requested more products and services." So far, in the red flag on the official website, the records of company memorabilia still have the company in 2004, 2005, the words of profit. Employees said they were baffled by the sudden loss of the company. The staff pointed to the big shareholder who should be responsible for the status of Red flag in China? Staff pointed to the main shareholder of Red Flag--Chinese Academy of Science Software. Red Flag was established in June 2000, is the Chinese Academy of Sciences software wholly-owned enterprises Beijing branch soft Innovation softwareTechnology Co., Ltd. ("Branch Soft Innovation") and Beijing Sadie Times Information Industry Co., Ltd. and other 8 shareholders jointly set up a joint venture company, registered capital of 962,000 U.S. dollars, of which branch soft innovation capital contribution of 390,000 U.S. dollars, accounted for 40.5%, as the largest shareholder. December 30, 2013, part of the red Flag staff in the Ministry of Public Service in front of the house pulled up the rights banner, publicly accused of the Chinese Academy of Science and Software ignored staff lives, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Software "returned" Red flag "nuclear Shishou" special funds. On the morning of December 30, 2013, the red Flag staff in the Ministry of Labor in front of the banner, directed at the Chinese Academy of Science Software. Red Flag employees in a network in a petition to say: "Since April 1, 2013, due to the Chinese Academy of Sciences Software has not honoured the commitment to pay my company to undertake the nuclear Shishou special supporting funds, resulting in the company's capital chain interruption, thereby stopping the full wage." "Nuclear Shishou" is the national science and technology major special "core electronic devices, high-end general-purpose chips and basic software products," the abbreviation, the main goal is in the chip, software, electronic device areas, to conquer a number of key technologies, research and development of a group of strategic core products. In the 2010 "Nuclear Shishou" major special bid, the red flag has taken the lead in the "General desktop operating system research and development and industrialization" main topic, and with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and another subsidiary of the Department of Science and Technology, jointly undertook the other 4 sub-subjects. According to the national "nuclear Shishou" major special provisions, the Government in the provision of funding projects, enterprises and local governments also need to support the corresponding funds. When the original application, the red flag in the division does not have the ability to support their own funds, but the software as a major shareholder made a corresponding commitment, the commitment of the red flag self-financing can not be in place, the software will be filled in full, the upper limit of 40 million yuan. However, this money has not been in place. Employees believe that it is because the Chinese Academy of Sciences software failed to fulfill its commitments, leading to the closure of red flag. Major shareholder response to the Chinese Academy of Sciences software is obviously unwilling to undertake this "responsibility." In the red Flag staff to the Ministry of Labor Rights, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Software in January 6 issued the "Red flag on the situation of the statement." In this statement, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Software has made a detailed response. Chinese Academy of Sciences Software in the statement said: 1, the supporting funds are not in place because of the unilateral red flag withdrawal, 2, the red flag in the division is mainly because of management team mismanagement, and "nuclear Shishou" supporting funds does not matter. Chinese Academy of Sciences Software said that the 2009 software has been jointly with the red Flag, the central branch of Germany, the establishment of the "Nuclear Shishou" project overall department, aimed at the unified deployment of personnel resources, the overall solution of supporting funds. But in 2010, Red Flag withdrew from the General department. The software considers that the prerequisite for the red flag of the division is no longer there, so there is no need for its supporting funds. Chinese Academy of Sciences Software also said that red flag has been operating difficulties, the annual market income of not more than 10 million yuan, 2010 and 2011 income mainly from the "nuclear Shishou"Project, in the second half of 2012, due to the "nuclear Shishou" project funds are basically exhausted, only to expose the capital chain fracture problem. In other words, the Chinese Academy of Sciences software means that the red flag is because of its own problems that led to the door. For this point, some of the red Flag employees in the division expressed different views. They believe that the red flag in the past more than 10 years in the operation of the client scale has been expanding, has been in a profitable state, there is no business difficult problem. Red flag in the closure of the software, the toss of "work can not be." To mention the Chinese Academy of Sciences software, the red flag employees seem to have a lot of dissatisfaction. They accuse the Chinese Academy of Science and Software to set up a new Sino-German company to compete with the red flag, at the same time, through the stationing of management, the staff of Red flag in China branch to do the project. Staff said that the red flag of the many employees have been transferred to the Central branch of Germany, for some time, the Chinese Academy of Sciences software has also required these employees to enter into a work contract with the German side. They believe that the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the software frequently redeployed staff, seriously affected the normal operation of Red flag in the division, but always benefited from the German side. However, the Chinese Academy of Sciences software does not recognize these accusations, in the public statement repeatedly stressed that their red flag in the development process has made a lot of contributions. Who's going to take it? It may be hard to figure out what the truth is. However, the history of red flag in China may end. With the capital chain broken, employees have left, the red flag in the Division is convinced that it can not continue to operate. December 13, the Chinese Academy of Sciences software called the shareholders convened a board of directors, proposed liquidation company. February 10, the red flag of the several shareholders finally reached agreement, agreed to dissolve the company and enter the liquidation process. In this way, there are 14 years of development history of the red flag came to the end. He Hui, chairman of the Red Flag trade union, said the court had already seized the trademark and software copyrights of red flag in China, and the trade unions could have the right to ask the court for an auction. According to him, the current red flag arrears of staff wages of about 15 million yuan, the trade union is the red flag currently the largest creditor. As a red flag of the old staff, he only good for the company's failure quite feeling. He said, "The red flag has a brand, business and market, should not develop into this appearance." "He only revealed that there are companies interested in the company to take the red flag of the relevant assets, but no enterprise is willing to carry out very substantive negotiations." With the national attention to information security, the core operating system, chips and other products in the domestic calls for increasing. Originally this is a great opportunity for development, but the red flag has not been able to survive this winter.
