The Deserted Rice net

"Because the company outage network, stopped the communication facilities, only a few people still work in the company." Because the merchant order suddenly did not have, also has the staff to accept the merchant's complaint every day, we now every day explains to them. "An employee who has not left the company said to Tencent Technology.

Tencent Technology tried to contact Rice Network CEO Sanli, Sanli Response said, "Recently at home something, not too convenient, some time to say." ”

In the news of the closure of the rice network, before the media, many people in the catering O2O industry have been aware of the news of the shutdown of the Rice network server. As has been pioneering nearly 11 years of catering booking site, the ultimate reason for the staggered complex: internal management confusion, serious friction; After several financing, the distribution of shares in confusion, not favoured the occurrence of shareholder withdrawal phenomenon Stick to the original telephone Order 1.0 mode, in the advent of mobile internet has not been a substantial breakthrough change, VC is not optimistic about this model financing is difficult to carry out ...

Even so, before it was shut down, the Food commission had a chance to turn over.

According to the departure of staff, last December, the rice network of investors began to send people into the company responsible for some operations. Before and after 2014, Ying founded in the Sino-Ze League has the intention to buy Rice network. At that time, the left-behind veteran staff heard the news also spirits. The purchase of the rice system is good, Zengze in the Internet industry for many years, after the purchase of the rice system can be fully borrowed in the new model, to activate themselves.

However, at the end of the liquidation phase, there was no agreement on the issue of a 8 million settlement with investors. The acquisition failed. "Heard that the other party has played a part of the total of Zang, then did not know how did not talk about, Zang always seems to have not returned that money." Of course, I just heard. "A former employee said to Tencent Technology.

Human induced retarder

In the past several media interviews, Sanli gave a pioneering proposal is to do business "on thin Ice." But this overly cautious style and sense of worry let the rice network has a gorgeous start, but sadly away from the field.

In 2004, the company achieved cash flow balance after 10 months of establishment. Over the next few years, the rice network can cover 60 major cities. June 2008, the rice Marketing network wholly acquired Guangzhou "World Restaurant" website. July 2008, Rice network access to Japan's Asian investment, such as nearly 30 million yuan (4 million U.S. dollars) venture capital.

"Rice Network in the establishment of the beginning, each link can be card in place, go steady, we are very envious, but to the second half of the lack of stamina." In the years after the development, can completely through their own accumulation in the merchant to make a breakthrough, but by 2010 after basically in situ. "A senior restaurant official said.

Internal friction has been a big problem for many years.

The above-mentioned personage appraises, Sanli very devout "the foreign monk is good to chant". 2008, after the first round of financing, Sanli has recruited Zhaowenjiang, Fei, Li Yaodong, Han Ying and other people to manage and build sales, content, products, operations and other teams. After the introduction of foreign talent, Sanli and refused to fully delegate, leading to the middle and high levels of friction between employees. This also leads directly to senior management in charge of sales, content, products, operations, markets, channels, and major customers who left office at the end of 2009.

At the beginning of 2012, due to operational problems, the rice marketing began to run out of income. First, the employee half pay, and then the wages, the continuous staff out of the noisy very unpleasant.

A departing employee recalls that he entered the job in August 2011 with more than 400 companies. By February 2013, the company left more than 100 people. The company only gives employees half a salary, and the other half to the company. At that time the company gave the promise is that the operation of the situation improved or financing in place, will reissue arrears, and add interest. But it was not reissued until the company closed. Last December, the rice company stopped giving employees insurance, which resulted in the inability of several children to receive maternity benefits.

The half pay incident led to many employees to leave, by August 2013, when the rice network in Xizhimen West Central Plaza Office lease expired, the company moved to the Anding Road No. 20th Courtyard 4th building. Compared to the high-end office buildings in the West Ring square, the office buildings of the Anding Road are much more humble. In the Rice network office from Xizhimen moved to stabilize the road before long, the staff proposed to leave, when the rice network has owed him half a half salary. At that time, the oral commitment to the network, after the separation will be reissued each month before the arrears of 10%, but has not been reissued.

April 9 This year, the network shut down the server, this time about 40 Qaeda employees, some of them at this time proposed the resignation. These employees have also been in arrears for more than a year. At present, some of these employees have also sued the rice marketing network.

April 23 Afternoon, Tencent Science and technology to the rice network in the Office of the Stabilization Road, saw the office door closed, the door affixed with two paper pleadings, employees are paid. Later, a male staff out of the office, carrying a computer bag and a backpack, did not answer any questions from reporters, only that something should be directly to find Rice network CEO Sanli.

The other is equity issues. Public information shows that the Rice network in July 2008 received a round of 4 million U.S. dollars of financing. According to the Rice network turnover staff introduced, and then the rice network has two rounds of financing, one round of investment from Ali Peak Investment, another round of financing from Wuhan, a Feng surname investors, because the amount is small so not published. After several rounds of financing, because of the issue of control, the company's management and shareholders are more disputes between the company's founder of several of the old shareholders choose withdrawal to leave.
