On April 18th, Chairman Zhou Hongyi of 360 announced in a video that he would sell his companion of 9 years, the Maybach S600, and switch to a domestically produced smart-connected new energy vehicle to experience the feeling of the new generation of cars.
In the video, he also expressed that any domestic car manufacturers willing to seize this opportunity and provide him with a test car for daily commuting are welcome, and he won't refuse any offers.
Later in the evening, Xiaopeng Motors officially challenged Zhou Hongyi, stating that the car had been delivered to the headquarters.
Photos posted by Xiaopeng showed that the vehicle delivered to the 360 headquarters overnight was the Xiaopeng X9 MPV. Xiaopeng Motors claimed that the X9 has ample space and is highly intelligent.
Currently, Zhou Hongyi has not responded to this. It can only be said that Xiaopeng Motors is moving at lightning speed. While other car companies are still making online statements, Xiaopeng has already delivered test drive cars to the forefront.
Furthermore, Zhou Hongyi made a special statement in a video regarding the practice of manufacturers sending cars for trial:
The car he wants to sell is the Maybach 600, not selling Maybach for 600 yuan; The Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is a good car, so netizens should stop recommending it to him, as he cares a lot about the car's spaciousness.
He also stated that when he calls on friendly businesses to send cars, he doesn't mean to take advantage of them. He hopes that these businesses can provide him with cars for trial so he can compare them over a week and see which one is the best and most suitable for him.
Moreover, Li Bin from NIO and Richard Yu from Huawei have already asked him which car he would choose. Fellow netizens, why not take a guess? In the end, which car will Mr. Red Suit choose?
