On April 28, Zhou Hongyi, founder and chairman of 360, auctioned Maybach to the first place in the hot search on Weibo.
On April 27, Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360 Group, announced on social platforms that he would publicly auction his 9-year-old car Maybach S600, with a starting price of 600 yuan.
Zhou Hongyi said that after the Maybach S600 auction, he will not leave a penny, and after deducting taxes and fees, he will eventually donate the full amount to the Wang Xuan Foundation in the name of Zhou Hongyi himself and the car buyer. At the same time, Zhou Hongyi also imitated "Buffett's Lunch" and provided the opportunity to eat with him three times in three years for those who bought this car.
At about 18 o'clock on April 28, an auction kicked off in Beijing 360 Headquarters Building. Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360 Group, officially auctioned his own car "Maybach S600 sedan" at a starting price of 600 yuan.
The indoor auction site is divided into an auction area and a guest area. The reporter learned from the on-site interview that many people in the auction area have paid a deposit to come in, and raising a sign will become an important action for them. These people come from all over the country, especially in Shandong, Hebei, Sichuan and other places, mainly concentrated in second-hand car platforms, automobile exports and other industries.
Many selfie sticks, gimbals, and shooting equipment were held high at the scene, and many self-media came to the live broadcast. So much so that the on-site host repeatedly emphasized that everyone should lower their voices: "Any small voice will be earned, please lower your voice." ”
According to the introduction of Chedi second-hand cars, the original guide price of this Maybach S600 new car was 2.888 million yuan. Zhou Hongyi's second-hand car is a 2015 model, and the current market appraisal price is about 900,000 yuan.
In the end, bidder No. 47 successfully won the limousine with a staggering bid of 9.9 million yuan. It is reported that the buyer of the car is Chu Zhenliang, the founder of Tian'an second-hand cars. According to the buyer's introduction on social platforms, he is the executive chairman of the Beijing Automobile Dealers Industry Association. He excitedly said that he has always been full of respect and recognition for Zhou Hongyi, and this auction is not only to realize his dream of a luxury car, but also to take advantage of this rare opportunity to "rub the stream" to the end.
He admitted frankly that although he has been crawling in the online world for many years, he has never "rubbed the stream". And this time, he decided to try boldly, not only for personal traffic, but also to pay tribute to Zhou Hongyi, and take this opportunity to contribute to public welfare.
Zhou Hongyi also expressed his original intention of public welfare at the auction site. He said that the proceeds from the auction of Maybach S600 will be donated in full to the Wang Xuan Foundation to support the development of domestic new energy intelligent vehicles. In this way, he hopes to contribute to the country's scientific and technological progress and industrial development.
At the auction site, Zhou Hongyi opened and said, "I was very nervous about my first auction. ”
He said, "Many people take videos holding ID cards to buy my car, and many people say that I have found the traffic password, but I am also very confused, and I need to interact with everyone when the Internet has shortened the distance between everyone, rather than laughing at myself." This kind of traffic is the most valuable. ”
"Internet celebrity" Zhou Hongyi
"Red" Zhou Hongyi has become an Internet celebrity in the car circle.
Li Bin, chairman of Weilai Automobile, once said to Zhou Hongyi: "Pay attention to safety, you are too hot, the red clothes are shining, and the auto show is shining." ”
Up to now, Zhou Hongyi has 11.517 million Weibo fans and 5.744 million Douyin fans.
On April 20, the topic of "buying fuel cars to become a minority" appeared on Baidu's hot search.
Zhou Hongyi said in the live video broadcast that he "made a difficult decision" and would sell the Maybach 600 that had been with him for 9 years.
Zhou Hongyi explains: "It's because I need to experience the feeling of a new generation of cars. The ancients said that they wanted to 'break the kettle', so I sold this car, gave up the traditional luxury car, and replaced it with a domestic new energy intelligent networked car. ”
