A test drive made Zhou Hongyi the top of the car circle; an auto show, but unexpectedly became popular with Jia Yueting on the other side of the ocean?

Zhou Hongyi, a big man in the Internet circle, is now the "top stream in the car circle", and the "3Q war" is still a landmark event in China's Internet industry.

Jia Yueting, "China's No. 1 Fool", his labels are too many, and "returning to China next week" is everyone's biggest expectation for him!

These two people have no business dealings, let alone debt relationships, how can they be connected?

Because of new energy vehicles!

Yes, Zhou Hongyi, who wanted to sell Maybach for a domestic new energy vehicle, was unexpectedly popular, and when he saw the rows of domestic electric vehicles parked downstairs in the company, his pride arose, and he couldn't help but think of Jia Yueting, who went to the United States to build a car.

So, he shouted to Jia Yueting from the air, when will he return to China?

Unexpectedly, Jia Yueting actually responded to determine the "time to return to China", and said unashamedly: "Under the American legal system, I no longer have any debts." ”

It is no wonder that Jia Yueting, who has been silent for a long time, dared to jump out to "rub" a wave of traffic when the bigwigs in the car circle gathered in Beijing.

Jia Yueting, if you insist on staying abroad for a few more years, the creditors should probably retire to receive social security, right?

01

Nearly 1,000 car companies, hundreds of new cars were released, and nearly 300 new energy models were displayed...... In the past two days, the Beijing Auto Show has been in full swing!

To say that the most "beautiful" car model of this auto show is none other than Zhou Hongyi, and the most famous car maker is Jia Yueting on the other side of the ocean.

Yesterday, the Beijing Auto Show, which returned after four years, attracted nearly 1,000 exhibitors, including 117 new cars from well-known brands at home and abroad (including 30 global premieres of multinational companies), and 41 concept cars and 278 new energy models will be exhibited.

Compared with the 2020 Beijing Auto Show, the number of new energy vehicles far exceeded the 160 units of the previous year.

Various new energy vehicles such as range extenders, plug-in hybrids, pure electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are blooming, heralding the arrival of the new energy era.

On the first day of the auto show, Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360, appeared in the exhibition area of major car companies, interacted with a group of car industry bigwigs, and commented on popular models one by one.

What people never expected was that Zhou Hongyi took advantage of people's inattention, climbed on the roof of the car looking up at U8 in public, and sat on it.

For a time, a large number of media and audiences watched, earning enough eyeballs, and Zhou Hongyi's name as a "top car model" spread far and wide!

Of course, Zhou Hongyi is definitely not there to defend his rights, let alone rub traffic, in his words, he is looking for signals.

In response, Zhou Hongyi responded: "I'm a little afraid of society, it's easy to be motionless in front of the camera, and the live broadcast is a bit stuck, many people think I'm a digital person."

To prove that it was a real person, I used my climbing advantage to climb onto the roof of the car. Today's domestic car experience a lap, I see a love one, now I am only worried that the license plate is not enough. ”

Not long ago, Zhou Hongyi said that he would sell the Maybach 600 that had accompanied him for 9 years and replace it with a domestic new energy vehicle.

Then, various new energy vehicle companies rushed to send the car to the downstairs of the 360 company, hoping to get Zhou Hongyi's "blue eyes", just like a small new energy auto show.

With this wave of traffic, Zhou Hongyi struck while the iron was hot, and once again passed the label of "the most beautiful car model" at the Beijing Auto Show, and became the "top stream of the car circle".

By the way, Jia Yueting, who also brought Zhou Hongyi's "hammer blasting"!

Recently, Zhou Hongyi, the "top of the car circle", and Jia Yueting, the founder of Faraday Future (Faraday Future, referred to as FF), shouted to each other in the air, which once became a hot topic among netizens.

On April 22, Zhou Hongyi ridiculed Jia Yueting at the Nezha Automobile press conference, saying, "I haven't built a few cars for so long in the United States, but Gaohe Automobile has built it, but it has sued people in turn." China's supply chain is the most complete, and even Musk went to China to build cars, so he (Jia Yueting) made a mistake. ”

Lao Zhou doesn't give Lao Jia any face.

But Jia Yueting disagrees, and is still peddling his "original" rhetoric.

Jia: "What is conveyed and advocated to young strivers should not be plagiarism and copycats, although FF only delivered 11 cars, it is a completely original and innovative spire product, which has extraordinary subversive significance. ”

Zhou: "Mr. Jia, don't just talk about PPT, first send the car to the small square of the 360 Building for me to try...... Said to return to China, next week and next week, 10 years. ”

That night, Zhou Hongyi posted again to ask Jia Yueting "when will he return to China".

In response to Zhou Hongyi's inquiry, on April 25, Jia Yueting posted that this is his biggest knot and the problem he is trying to solve every day, bluntly saying that "it is my biggest dream to return to my motherland as soon as possible, and the day I succeed in building a car and repay my debts is the time to return to China." ”

So when exactly will you return home?

Boss Jia finally gave a definite time: he will return to China on the day he succeeds in building the car and repays the debt!

It's just that, according to Faraday Future's progress of delivering 11 units so far, the success of building a car is "just around the corner".

Regarding his own debt problem, Jia Yueting said that in 2017, when the debt crisis broke out in LeTV, he guaranteed about 12 billion US dollars of debt for the LeTV system, and he said that these are not his personal direct debts, but basically guarantee for the LeTV system and the company.

He also said that he had repaid more than $10 billion for LeTV over the years.

Five years ago, Jia Yueting applied for a personal debt restructuring in the United States, reached and completed a restructuring plan, and no longer has any debts under the American legal system. "Nevertheless, I will do my best to settle my debts under the Chinese legal system as soon as possible." Jia Yueting said.

Tianyan check shows that Jia Yueting, as the person subject to execution, has a total amount of 1.094 billion yuan.

The big guy pulls the head flower, and Guo Allen mends the knife.

It is rare to see Mr. Jia go online, and the men's basketball star Guo Allen rushed out of the oblique stab.

Teacher Jia, you owe me 1.5 million and settle the bill first.

It's like asking for a debt: When will I pay it back?

If you have money, you will pay it back.

So when will you get rich?

When it's time to pay you back.

This kind of behavior is particularly "old-fashioned"!

Sure enough, "those who owe money are uncles".

In China's business world, there are two people who are the most controversial, one is Jia Yueting, who fled to the United States, and the other is Lu Zhengyao, the founder of Luckin Coffee. These two people have a lot in common, they are both small experts in several entrepreneurships, they are good at storytelling, they have been in the automotive industry, and the failure of entrepreneurship is related to financial fraud.

But the difference is that Jia Yueting cheated the Chinese out of money, but took the money to the Americans to build cars. But as for Lu Zhengyao, the business is done in China, but the pit is mainly Americans.

In "Prosperity", my uncle also said: Everyone has 3 money, how much are you worth, how much money others think you have, and the money in your pocket!

However, I think there's another kind of money, which is how much money you can mobilize when the opportunity comes.

In that crazy era, an idea could be raised to tens of millions, and a beautiful PPT could open the hearts of investors.

Especially Jia Yueting, who was the darling of capital back then, and many bigwigs in the film and television industry praised him, at that time, his ecological anti-strategy fooled people and couldn't do it, and the name of "China's No. 1 Fool" was well deserved!

Over the years, Jia Yueting has been "jumping rope on a tightrope" and "dancing on the tip of a knife", creating what the New York Times once called a "debt bomb".

It's only now that we finally realize how powerful the explosion can be!

Jia Yueting, go back to China quickly!

Building new energy vehicles in the United States will only suffocate.

Or listen to the "top of the car circle" Zhou Hongyi, return to China to witness the glory of Chinese automobiles!

Actually, it is easy to understand that Zhou Hongyi wants to be an Internet celebrity.

Lei Jun, Musk and other bigwigs in the car circle have given Zhou Hongyi a good sample, and the boss's own traffic can greatly reduce the marketing cost of the company and products.

The car circle in 2024 will not be peaceful:

Here, Gaohe is suspended, Apple "abandons the car", Tesla cuts prices and layoffs, and is about to launch a "cheap car"; over there, BYD has 79,800 Qin Plus in its left hand and 1.68 million in its right hand looking up to U9, attacking on both fronts.

Some people are in dire straits, some people are expanding their territory, and there are those who are urged to make friends.

The joys and sorrows of car companies are not the same, but the rise of Chinese auto brands is unstoppable!

While Chinese auto brands have to study the global market, foreign brands are thinking about how to hold the Chinese market, which is a microcosm of today's automotive industry!

It can be seen from the information of auto shows over the years that "foreign brands" are paying more and more attention to the Chinese market.

At the 2020 Beijing International Auto Show, the 2023 Shanghai International Auto Show, and the 2024 Beijing International Auto Show, the number of global premieres of multinational companies was 14, 28, and 30, respectively.

Not just shouting slogans, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi are using real money to support China.

In September 2021, the BMW Group announced that it would invest an additional CNY 25 billion in Shenyang in the future. In June 2022, the Audi Group announced that it would invest around 18.4 billion yuan to build its first luxury electric vehicle plant in China. In April 2024, the Mercedes-Benz Group said that it had invested a total of 10.5 billion yuan in R&D in China over the past five years.

Some foreign brands that do not pay much attention to and have not done well in the Chinese market before, such as Renault, Mitsubishi, and Suzuki, have begun to fade out of the sight of consumers.

The reason why this auto show is so popular is not because of the new cars parked on the platform and the new technologies announced by car companies, but also because of the cruel game between the car company bosses behind them and the ice.

An auto show that shows the development trend of the global automotive industry!

While foreign car companies attach importance to learning, domestic car circle bigwigs also abandon their stereotypes, stand on each other's platforms and visit and learn, which has become the most beautiful scenery of the Beijing Auto Show.

In the past four years, the automobile industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, new energy has become the absolute main force and highlight, and the bigwigs have gone from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, rushing to the front line of marketing, fiercely competing for market share, and becoming friends who cooperate with each other.

Because we all know that cooperation is a win-win situation, and breaking out is the sea of stars!
