团购鼻祖Groupon中国水土不服 连续性规模裁员 |
| Chinese group buying site Gaopeng.com has begun to cut employees, the 21st China Business Herald quoted company insiders as saying. | 8月4日，记者从多位高朋网内部人士处获得证实，高朋网近段时间正经历连续性规模裁员。 |
| "The company has been laying off employees almost every week recently," a middle manager at the firm told the 21st China Business Herald. The cuts began in July and are still ongoing, the manager said. | “最近差不多每周都会有人陆续离开公司。”一位高朋网中层员工告诉记者，裁员从7月份到现在，仍在进行中。 |
| "We're not firing a large number of Chinese staff. We are just experiencing a reshuffling of personnel," said Ouyang Yun, chief operating officer of Gaopeng.com. "Only some of the sales personnel have been dismissed for poor performance." | 对此，高朋网首席运营官(COO)欧阳云在8月3日接受记者电话采访时给出的说法则是：“高朋网没有进行规模性裁员，而是进行正常的人员调整。”欧阳云告诉记者，确实有一定的销售人员因为业绩不达标而被正常调整，而且裁员只涉及销售人员。 |
| Groupon launched Gaopeng.com in January this year as a joint venture with Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings. The website was opened in February. The joint venture's management team was brought in from German subsidiary MyCityDeal, which Groupon acquired in March 2009. The team is now in charge of Groupon's expansion overseas. | 2011年1月，Groupon通过与腾讯合资的方式进入中国团购市场。高朋网2月底正式上线。代表Groupon对高朋进行投资管理的是德国Groupon My City Deal公司。它在2009年3月被Groupon收购，并成为Groupon海外市场拓展的主要执行方。 |
| Gaopeng is spending 15 million yuan per month – a large proportion of Gaopeng's monthly sales revenue – on ads, according to Marbridge Consulting. | 根据Marbridge咨询的数据，高朋网每个月花在谷歌和百度的广告支出达1500万元，而这一数字相当于其每月销售额的很大比例。 |
