Ideal Auto, which recently caused many car industry leaders to leave due to its weekly sales ranking, has been involved in another controversy. On the evening of August 19, an online statement signed by Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd. pointed the finger at Ideal Auto.

The statement said that the company decided to terminate all relations with Ideal Auto from now on. The reason for the decision was related to the claim that Ideal Auto had used its apology letter to promote and maliciously slander Yishide. The statement even said openly that "Li Xiang will die of liver cancer in the near future if no intervention is made."

For a time, this online statement put both parties at the center of the topic. In response, Ideal Auto responded on August 20 that it had never conducted any business negotiations or cooperation with Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd. In response to the online rumors spread by Yishide, Ideal Auto has reported to the police.

In this response Weibo post, Ideal Auto also sorted out the course of the entire incident: In June this year, a passerby who claimed to be the owner of an Ideal Auto took a photo with Li Xiang. Subsequently, content related to the cooperation between Ideal Auto and Yishide and the aforementioned photo appeared on the Internet. In response, Ideal sent a letter to Yishide asking it to stop infringing. During the process of the two parties communicating about the apology, the other party proposed hype, which was rejected by Ideal Auto.

Afterwards, Yishide issued an apology letter and Ideal Auto's legal department issued an official statement. I thought the matter had come to an end, but in August, the aforementioned Yishide company announced that it would stop all cooperation with Ideal Auto. At present, Ideal Auto has reported the case to the public security authorities.

It is reported that Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd., which openly challenged Ideal Auto this time, was established in November 2022. In addition to Li Xiang, social accounts such as Weibo and Douyin named "Yishide AI Cloud Diagnosis" have also published reports on many public figures such as Trump, Musk, Biden, Chen Xiao, and even many reports were just released on August 20.

Radar Finance noticed that in the mini program called "Yishide AI Cloud Diagnosis", there are currently a number of testing items on the shelves, ranging in price from a few hundred to a few thousand yuan. Although the public account "Yishide AI Cloud Diagnosis" claims that most of its members are from famous universities at home and abroad, Tianyancha shows that the number of insured people of Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd. was 0 last year.

What hatred or grudge? A company statement said that Li Xiang would die of cancer if he did not intervene

On the evening of August 19, a statement about Ideal Auto was circulated online, which attracted widespread attention from the outside world. The reason why this statement caused heated discussion was related to the condemnation of Ideal Auto and Li Xiang himself in the statement, and even the statement made "personal attacks" on Li Xiang himself.

The statement mentioned that after careful consideration and comprehensive evaluation, Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd. decided to terminate all relations with Ideal Auto from now on. However, the online statement leaked on August 19 was dated August 20.

As for the reason for the termination of cooperation, the statement explained that before signing a formal cooperation agreement with Ideal Auto, no relevant publicity could be published. The original intention was to compromise and deceive the company into writing an apology letter and immediately removing the relevant publicity. However, Ideal Auto used the apology letter to maliciously slander Yi Shide, so the unethical behavior of Ideal Auto and Li Xiang himself was strongly condemned.

The statement also emphasized, "We disdain to cooperate with a company without technological content. This decision is based on our different considerations on future development direction. We believe this is the best choice to better serve our customers and the market."

It is worth mentioning that while the statement reiterated "stopping all business activities with Ideal Auto (CHJ)" and "banning Ideal Auto and its partners' application cooperation in the field of AI health", it also brought in another company, which stated that it would "cooperate with Huawei in the field of smart car machines."

In addition, the statement even made shocking remarks about Li Xiang's health condition, "Li Xiang's physical data, which is trained and identified based on public Internet data, is regularly published. If no intervention is given, Li Xiang will die of liver cancer in the near future."

Sun Shaojun, a car blogger and founder of Chefans, pointed out in his Weibo that this statement was released by a user named "emst-Zhou" on Xiaohongshu, and public information from Tianyancha showed that the legal representative of Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd. is Zhou Mouxin.

However, on August 20, Radar Finance searched for the account on Xiaohongshu and did not see the post, which seemed to have been deleted. However, on the Douyin account named "Yishide AI Cloud Diagnosis", the "Solemn Statement" that was circulated online can still be seen. Earlier on August 6, the account had posted a short video titled "Ideal Auto is too watery."

On August 1, Yishide AI Cloud Diagnosis also released a diagnosis report on Weibo with the name "Dianche Master Li". The screenshot of the relevant report showed that the former's health index was 72, and the status decision of the multi-standard diagnosis was shown as mild or mild to moderate. Yishide AI Cloud Diagnosis also wrote in the copy, "The data of this AI test report is trained with public photo and video data on the Internet, and there is no infringement."

Regarding Li Xiang’s physical condition, Ideal Auto’s customer service said that it is personal privacy and the customer service is not convenient to disclose it. It may be a rumor. It is recommended not to believe the news from third parties. Please pay attention to the company’s official website for relevant information. The relevant situation has been recorded. Thank you for the concern of netizens.

Ideal Auto responds to the controversy: is it caused by the other party’s “destroy it if they can’t get it”?

The "grudge" between Yishide and Ideal Auto may be related to the apology letter signed by Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd., which was posted on the official blog of Ideal Auto. In the statement circulated online, Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd. also stated that it would withdraw the previous apology letter and resolve the issue through formal legal channels.

Back to July 12, the legal department of Ideal Auto stated on its official blog that recently, Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd. spread online rumors through multiple self-media, claiming that it would carry out business cooperation with Ideal Auto in the field of AI medical care. In response, the legal department of Ideal Auto stated that the above propaganda content of Yishide Company had no factual basis and was a rumor and deceived consumers.

Ideal Auto also stated that the company's legal department has issued a stern warning, and Yishide has deleted all infringing content and issued a written apology to Ideal Auto. Ideal Auto hereby publicly clarifies to prevent consumers from misunderstanding and causing losses. Ideal Auto always respects and protects the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and has zero tolerance for infringing acts such as spreading rumors and deceiving consumers. Ideal Auto will continue to combat such illegal acts through legal means.

At noon on August 20, the legal department of Ideal Auto spoke out again on the official Weibo account. The legal department of Ideal Auto said that Ideal Auto has never conducted any business negotiations or cooperation with Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd. On July 12, Ideal Auto issued a statement on the official Weibo account of the legal department to clarify the facts. In response to the online rumors spread by Yishide, Ideal Auto has reported to the police.

In this Weibo post, Ideal Auto reconstructed the general course of events: On a certain day in June this year, when Li Xiang was dining out, a passerby claimed to be the owner of an Ideal Auto and asked to take a photo with him. However, on the evening of June 22, various online platforms began to post posters with rumors that Ideal Auto and Yishide had launched an AI medical cooperation, as well as photos with Li Xiang.

On June 25, Ideal Auto sent a lawyer's letter to Yishide, demanding that it stop the infringement and bear the corresponding legal responsibilities. On July 3, Zhou, who claimed to be a staff member of Yishide, contacted the legal department of Ideal Auto. During the communication between the two parties on the apology, Zhou proposed a plan to use the incident for marketing hype, which Ideal Auto rejected.

On July 6, Zhou issued an apology letter with the seal of Yishide Company. On July 12, the legal department of Ideal Auto issued an official statement, reminding consumers not to be deceived.

I thought the matter was over, but on August 19, Ideal Auto found the aforementioned "Solemn Statement" issued by Yishide on Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Weibo and other platforms. The content of the statement once again spread rumors that Yishide and Ideal Auto would stop all cooperation and ban Ideal Auto, and spread rumors about Li Xiang's physical condition. In response, Ideal Auto said it had reported to the police.

According to Jimu News, on the morning of August 20, he called the public phone number of Yishide Company to try to verify the authenticity of the statement, but the call could not be connected.

However, on the same day, the head of Yishide responded to a reporter from Nandu, saying, "We verbally expressed our willingness to cooperate with Li Xiang, so the company released a promotional content about the upcoming cooperation. The legal department of Ideal Auto said that the information could not be released before the formal signing of the contract, and the relevant promotional materials were removed on the same day, and we were asked to write an apology letter. When our legal department negotiated with the other party and hoped to remove the relevant content, they strongly disagreed and even used our apology letter to publicize it everywhere. That was a lack of moral bottom line, so we also issued a statement."

Yishide has performed cloud diagnosis on many celebrities, and the diagnosis is based on public photos on the Internet.

Radar Finance noticed that Li Xiang is not the first nor the only public figure to have undergone “cloud diagnosis” by Yishide.

Even though it is in the whirlpool of public opinion, on accounts such as Weibo and Douyin named "Yishide AI Cloud Diagnosis", you can still see reports it has issued on public figures such as Trump, Musk, Biden, and even some reports were released on August 20.

Among them, in a previous Weibo post, "Yishide AI Cloud Diagnosis" claimed that its data was based on the training results of public Internet data. Its "cloud diagnosis" of Chen Xiao was to extract Chen Xiao's portrait photos from the TV series "Dream of Hualu" and identify the early and middle stage risks of cancer in the throat and upper digestive tract area through the artificial intelligence cloud diagnosis system.

Where does Yishide come from that has repeatedly "touched" public figures? The official account "Yishide" of Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd., whose certification company is Yishide, mentioned in its introduction that Yishide's artificial intelligence (AI) cloud diagnosis and testing system is the world's leading provider of artificial intelligence diagnosis.

"Yishide" also stated in its introduction that users can upload photos and videos on their mobile phones to check for comprehensive systemic diseases. It has developed more than 1,700 disease recognitions with an accuracy rate of more than 90%. Users in 33 countries around the world are using AI cloud diagnosis and screening services.

Another public account of Yishide AI Cloud Diagnosis, which is also the certification company, was mentioned in an article published in May that the Yishide AI research team has hundreds of experts, scholars, researchers and other scientific researchers at home and abroad. Most of the team members are from well-known universities at home and abroad, such as Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, University of Hong Kong, Tsinghua University, Peking University, etc.

Tianyancha shows that Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd. was established in November 2022 with a registered capital of 100,000 yuan. Zhou Xin is the legal representative. The former also serves as executive director and manager of the company.

It is understood that the company's business scope includes general projects: technical services, technical development, technical consulting, technical exchanges, technology transfer, and technology promotion; production of Class I medical devices; leasing of Class I medical devices; sales of Class I medical devices; Internet sales (except for sales of goods that require a license); health consulting services (excluding diagnosis and treatment services); information consulting services (excluding licensed information consulting services), etc.

In terms of equity, Zhou Mouhan, who serves as a supervisor at Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd., holds 100% of the company's shares and is the company's beneficial owner, actual controller, and controlling shareholder. Zhou Mouxin, who currently serves as the company's legal representative, does not hold shares in Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd., and the company previously had two other natural person shareholders, but both withdrew from the company's shareholder list in March this year.

It is worth mentioning that on August 6 this year, another company called Beijing Yishide Medical Technology Co., Ltd., in which Zhou Mouhan was the beneficial owner, actual controller and held a 60% stake, was just cancelled.

In addition, in October last year, Yishide (Beijing) Medical Technology Co., Ltd. was included in the list of abnormal operations for failing to disclose its annual report within the time limit stipulated in Article 8 of the Interim Regulations on the Disclosure of Enterprise Information, and was removed in December of the same year. Last year, the company had 0 insured persons.

Radar Finance learned through the "Yishide AI Cloud Diagnosis" mini program that the mini program currently has a variety of products on the shelves, such as the AI ​​physical examination for 100 basic common diseases of the whole body priced at 99 yuan, the AI ​​physical examination for 200 items + Top 5 tumors priced at 299 yuan, and even a project priced at 5,980 yuan.

Some Internet observers pointed out that this incident did, to a certain extent, greatly increase the popularity of Yishide in a short period of time, but it is easy to cause backlash. Once it is determined to be a rumor, it will need to bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
