酷派虧損嚴重 解約數百名應屆生

Chinese smartphone maker Coolpad Group has confirmed cancelling employment agreements with hundreds of new graduates amid what it calls business restructuring, a potential sign of its largest shareholder LeEco's financial woes.

國內智能手機製造商酷派近日證實已與數百名應屆畢業生解除就業合同。酷派稱解約背景是公司的“業務調整”，這可能折射出其最大股東樂視的財政困局。

Online comments said Coolpad has terminated the contracts with about 300 employees recruited from universities this year.

網上評論稱，酷派已經與其今年從高校招聘的約300名員工終止了合同。

But the company downplayed the scale, saying it only signed contracts with about 260 while some of those qualified for working abroad will retain their jobs.

但酷派對解聘人員的規模進行了淡化，稱簽約應屆畢業生人數只有260人左右，而那些符合海外職位要求的員工將被保留。

Coolpad added it is restructuring its business to focus more on the international market, efforts that has led to job cuts in its domestic operation.

酷派方面還表示，他們正在重組業務，以此將更多精力放在國際市場上，而這些導致了其國內業務方面的裁員。

It also paid 3,000 yuan ($435) in compensation to each graduate with a bachelor's degree and 4,000 yuan to those with a master's.

據悉，酷派給了每位本科畢業生3000元的賠償金，給了每位碩士畢業生4000元的賠償金。

A major second-line phone brand, Coolpad became a branch of Chinese internet conglomerate LeEco last year.

酷派是主要的二線手機品牌，於去年成爲了國內互聯網企業樂視旗下的子公司。
