The "10 Million Reward Plan" announcement was made by Fu Xiaokang, a vice president at Great Wall, during the company's New Energy Conference.
《千万奖励计划》公告由付晓康长城汽车副总裁总裁在该公司的新能源大会上说。
Fu Xiaokang is said to have recounted an incident where paid trolls allegedly claimed that a manufacturing defect was caused an EV-battery fire when instead the driver himself had set the vehicle alight.
据说傅晓康讲述了一起事件，据称付费巨魔声称制造缺陷导致电动汽车电池起火，而不是司机自己点燃了车辆。
"We welcome everyone to destroy rumors and restore the truth with us," Fu Xiaokang said, as quoted by Bloomberg.
彭博社援引傅晓康的话说：我们欢迎大家与我们一起粉碎谣言，还原真相。
The reward will be paid if the tip-off is verified by the company and a law enforcement agency, the report added.
报道补充说，如果举报得到该公司和执法机构的核实，将获得奖励。
However, the troll-fighting plan allegedly went through when the company itself started getting trolled for its strategy. Internet users mocked the company saying it should instead invest the money for improving its cars, the report said.
然而，据称，当该公司本身开始因其战略而受到攻击时，打击巨魔的计划就通过了。报道称，网民嘲笑该公司说，它应该把这笔钱投资于改进汽车。
