Dispute Details - Wang Xianghua claims that after closing his Jike brand store due to poor performance, the manufacturer implemented a "remote locking" measure on the inventory vehicles, which Jike denies [2][4]. - Jike stated that Wang's company, Xinding New Energy, breached the contract by unauthorized modifications to the brand's image store, leading to a demand for the return of store investment [3][4].
