Subsequently, the parents who went to apply for a refund found that all seven campuses of Papi Technology in Beijing were closed and it was impossible to apply for a refund. At the same time, all the public contact numbers of Papi Technology could not be connected, and parents reported to the police and there was no way to refund the fee.
On April 25th, a policeman surnamed Jin from Tianhua Road Police Station in Daxing District, Beijing told the Beijing News education teacher that the institute had received reports from parents and would receive consumers of Papi technology in this area, make records, collect information and hand them over to the Economic Investigation Brigade for further investigation.
All seven campuses in Beijing are closed.
"Yizhuang Campus was notified on the evening of April 23, when it was said that the fee could be refunded, but on the morning of April 24, parents found that the campus door was locked." Wang Gang (a pseudonym), a parent of Yizhuang Campus, recalled that until the evening, parents went to Yizhuang Campus to refund their fees, but none of them succeeded. Parents spontaneously contacted parents of other campuses and found that "all campuses are closed".
Wang Gang said that at first they were able to get in touch with the teachers in the Yizhuang Campus of Papi Technology, but later the teachers and the person in charge couldn't get in touch.
According to the screenshot of WeChat provided by parents, on the evening of April 23, the staff of Papi Technology issued a notice among parents in Yizhuang, saying that the school decided to cancel the lease contract with the mall and move for about two months because the campus area of Yizhuang District of Papi Technology was too large to achieve the benefits of the mall. Parents can choose to freeze class hours and wait for follow-up notice. If they have concerns about campus relocation, they can sign the refund form and keep the voucher. The company will refund the fees according to the procedures and regulations.
A person named "Teacher Papi Fei Xuan" once told parents on WeChat that since yesterday (April 24th), Papi Technology has suspended classes, closed its stores, and the headquarters can't be contacted. So far, the school has not given the teacher a clear answer.
On April 25th, the calls made by the educational administration teachers to the seven campuses of Papi Technology in Beijing all showed empty numbers or no answer, and the addition of teachers' WeChat provided by parents was not approved. The gate of Papi Technology Chaoyang Shuangjing Campus, located on the 4th floor of R&F Shopping Plaza (referred to as "R&F City") in East Third Ring Road, Chaoyang District, is locked, and there is no announcement about the suspension notice at and around the gate.
A staff member of the investment promotion department of R&F told the Beijing News educational teacher that the lease contract between Papi Technology and R&F City had not expired. "But it was not easy to contact them before. They owe us a lot of money, and the direct person in charge of Papi Technology can't be contacted. "
The staff member said that after April 24, Papi Technology had no teachers to come to work.
Some parents told the Beijing News education teacher that Li Lili, the legal representative of Papi Technology, had told a parent that he was raising funds from various sources. Up to now, Li Lili, the head of Papi Technology, has not replied.
The educational administration teacher found that the operating status of Papi Technology was "in business".

They will hand over the collected materials to the Economic Investigation Brigade.
I promise to refund the tuition in full after one year.
Education teachers have learned that Papi Technology currently has seven campuses in Beijing: Haidian Jinyuan, Haidian Kaide, Chaoyang Shuangjing, Chaoyang Chang Ying Tianjie, Changping Longde, Yizhuang Hualian and Daxing Longhu. According to the preliminary statistics of parents in each district, it is conservatively estimated that there are thousands of students in each campus, and the amount involved is 1 10,000 yuan (including the consumed class fee) according to the tuition fee per person.
"The tuition fee of Papi ranges from 12800 yuan to 18800 yuan per year." Li Li (a pseudonym), a parent of Yizhuang Campus, said that the tuition of Papi Technology is charged annually, and it is required to be reported at least once a year. "At present, more than 200 parents have filled in the refund statistics, showing that the total tuition fee is about 3 million yuan."
Lin Ling, the parents of students in Shuangjing Campus, also confirmed that the courses of Papi technology are divided into four grades of technology according to the children's age and learning ability, and the prices range from 1.28 million yuan to 1.88 million yuan. According to the activity, 0 yuan pays 14800 yuan a year, and the money paid one year ago is the tuition fee for the second year.

Guan Wei said that he didn't run away, but the capital chain was broken.
On April 26th, Papi Technology official WeChat official account published the article "Papi didn't leave! The truth about the suspension of classes in Beijing campus.
According to the article, since 20 18, the capital situation of Papi technology has become increasingly tense, and an investor has problems of its own, so the capital of10 million cannot be put in place. The net loss of 20 18 exceeds100000 yuan, and with the increase of various costs, Papi technology has experienced the situation of broken capital chain, unpaid employees and a large number of teachers leaving their jobs. Although Papi Technology has borrowed from major banks and lending institutions since then, the funding problem has not been solved and the campus needs to be reduced.
In the process of reducing the campus, the complaints of parents in Jinyuan Yansha Campus led to the intervention of the Education Commission and the industrial and commercial departments, and the institutions that originally provided free venues for Papi Technology with financial problems no longer provided venues. In Longde Campus, due to the inexperience and unclear expression of managers, some parents lost control when they came to the campus to refund fees, and Papi technology employees were blocked for about 24 hours.
The article also said that after the Lund campus incident, the financial cooperation between Papi Technology and other companies was once again problematic. After the emergency closure of the whole store on April 24, Papi Technology received a large-scale complaint and was constantly summoned by the departments of industry and commerce, education commission, public security and consumers association. Papi technology didn't run away.
If an institution in Beijing is willing to accept Papi's science and engineering students, it will give away the whole curriculum system and train teachers for them free of charge. Meanwhile, Papi Technology said that capital university of economics and business agreed to provide classrooms for Papi students to continue their classes on Saturday and Sunday.
In this regard, the education teacher called the capital university of economics and business Academic Affairs Office. Up to now, the phone shows that no one answered.
In addition, the article also states the contact information of teachers who are responsible for resuming classes, refunding fees and docking institutions. Wang Bowen, one of the teachers in charge of refund, told the Beijing News educational teacher that he had submitted his resignation application, and he didn't know that he was in charge of refund until the morning of 26th. The section in charge of agent docking has stopped the mobile phone.
The teacher in charge of resuming classes said that he didn't know the specific situation of the company now. Regarding whether Papi technology can operate normally next, the teacher said that this is also a question he wants to know.
Business scope does not include education and training business.
According to official website of Papi Technology, Papi Technology is the largest comprehensive quality education and training group for young people in China, which is jointly established by Taiyou Fund and several investment institutions. It mainly provides popular science learning places and characteristic science and technology courses to cultivate young people's interest in science and technology.
According to a publicity material provided by parents, Papi technology is mainly engaged in science and technology education for children aged 3- 10. The course mainly includes three parts: centralized course, robot construction and programming, and scientific experiment.
In addition, the institution also claims to be a popular science education base in Beijing and the only cooperative school in Beijing that has designated science and technology courses.
According to the survey, the company was founded on 20 16 1, with legal representative Li Lili and registered capital of 2 million yuan. It belongs to the technology promotion and application service industry, and its business scope does not include education and training related businesses.
Parents of Yizhuang Campus told the education teacher that Papi Technology not only applied for subsidies from the National Education Fund, but also produced a red-headed document entitled "Documents of Beijing Chaoyang District Science and Technology Association".
In this document entitled "Reply on Agreeing to Beijing Papi Education Technology Co., Ltd. to Establish the Association for Science and Technology", Beijing Chaoyang District Association for Science and Technology said that it agreed to Papi to establish the Association for Science and Technology. "I hope that your unit will strictly fulfill relevant responsibilities and obligations in accordance with the spirit of relevant documents, conscientiously do a good job in organizing the Association for Science and Technology, and better unite and mobilize the vast number of scientific and technological workers."
Beijing Daxing District Association for Science and Technology also issued a similar document, agreeing that Papi Technology will become the grassroots organization of Beijing Association for Science and Technology and Daxing Association for Science and Technology.
At the same time, the education teacher also searched the official Weibo account of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission for two activities related to Papi technology.
In this regard, a staff member of the Beijing Association for Science and Technology told the educational administration teacher whether there was cooperation between the association and Papi Technology and it was necessary to contact the Resource Management Office. No one has answered the phone of the Resource Management Office of Beijing Association for Science and Technology.
