On May 2nd, it was reported that Zhou Hongyi publicly auctioned his second-hand Maybach S900, which eventually sold for a high price of 9.9 million yuan, far exceeding the current market residual value of the car.
During the auction, Zhou Hongyi also mentioned that the person who finally bought the car would have the opportunity to have a meal and meet with him once a year for the next three years, where they could freely discuss any business-related confusions.
It is understood that a second-hand car dealer known as "Chuhuizhang" bid for the luxury car, but surprisingly, the buyer has not yet paid for the car, despite Zhou Hongyi spending 200,000 yuan to treat the participating second-hand car dealers to a meal, thinking the matter was settled.
Someone online leaked the rules of this auction, indicating that the buyer must sign the "Second-Hand Car Sales Contract" within 1 hour after completing the vehicle inspection, and transfer the payment to the auctioneer's designated account within 2 hours. Otherwise, the auctioneer reserves the right to deem the buyer in breach of contract.
Today, the incident of "Chairman Chu owing 9.9 million for the Maybach auction" has sparked discussions on the internet. In response to this, Zhou Hongyi, the founder and chairman of 360 Group, stated to Sina Technology, "Chairman Chu needs some time to raise the funds, so please be patient."
Chairman Chu (Chu Zhenliang), who won Zhou Hongyi's Maybach, recently posted a video saying, "After buying Zhou's Maybach for 990, during the period when our team was not yet fully formed, we did encounter many practical issues."
Well-known internet influencer "sunwear" commented on this matter, stating that the biggest winner in this hype drama must be Zhou Hongyi, while others are just boosting the scene. Of course, the domestic brands are not losing out either.
