一深圳央企被曝：大量员工资金被套，有人投8万拿回9000

Core Viewpoint - The forced investment scheme at China Overseas Chinese Town Group has raised public concern, as many employees are unable to recover their invested funds due to project suspensions and financial difficulties, exacerbating their already precarious financial situations [1][10][12]. Group 1: Forced Investment Scheme - The investment scheme was initiated in 2019, mandating that all investment projects implement a follow-up investment mechanism, with exceptions requiring approval from the company's party committee [3][5]. - Employees, particularly key personnel, are compelled to participate in the investment scheme, with penalties for non-compliance, including performance score deductions [5][10]. - Employees who have been laid off still face lengthy processes to recover their investments, leading to increased anxiety and financial strain [1][6]. Group 2: Employee Experiences - Employees like Wang Tian have reported significant losses, with one individual investing 80,000 yuan but only recovering 9,000 yuan after being laid off [5][10]. - Legal attempts to reclaim funds have been unsuccessful, as courts do not recognize the investment as coercive enough to warrant legal protection [6][14]. - The lack of a reasonable exit mechanism in the investment scheme has led to feelings of betrayal among employees, especially during the downturn in the real estate market [12][14]. Group 3: Company Response and Industry Context - The company maintains that the investment scheme is a legal and common practice in the real estate industry, emphasizing the principle of shared risks and rewards [13][14]. - The company has stated that it is committed to maintaining communication with affected employees and will continue to work within the framework of national policies to stabilize the real estate market [13][14]. - Broader industry issues include forced participation in investment schemes, liquidity constraints, and a lack of balanced risk-sharing clauses in investment agreements, which have become more apparent during the current market downturn [14][15].
