On the evening of April 28, Zhou Hongyi held a second-hand Maybach auction to auction the Maybach 600 that had accompanied him for 9 years. In the end, it was auctioned by Chairman Chu of Cheonan second-hand cars at a price of 9.9 million, and the auction price was also very amazing, directly doubling the price by 6 times. Recently, this event ushered in a shocking reversal.
President Chu did not pay the remaining amount, and Mr. Zhou was tricked
Before the auction, President Chu said that the purpose of I want this car is to rub the traffic, and I want to rub the traffic to the end. As he wished, 3 days after the auction was obtained, the number of fans increased by 270,000, of which a live broadcast was held that night, attracting three or four million people to watch, and the live broadcast increased by more than 150,000 fans, which can be said to have earned enough traffic and topics.
Chairman Chu also said on his personal social platform that the price of 9.9 million is not an astronomical amount for him, and he can afford it. But within two days, he was directly slapped in the face, and the remaining balance was not paid, violating the auction contract.
According to the auction rules, after both parties confirm the transaction, the buyer shall sign the transaction confirmation and the second-hand car sales contract, and pay the car price to the auctioneer's designated collection account within two hours, otherwise the auctioneer has the right to judge the buyer for breach of contract and deduct all the buyer's deposit.
The reason for the arrears was exposed, and Chairman Chu said in the video: In the process of forming a team, the company did encounter many practical problems.
It seems that President Chu is also experiencing problems at present, and he is also shy in his pocket. knew that there was no money and came to the auction, which confirmed the suspicion of rubbing traffic.
Zhou Hongyi was really tricked this time, and the dinner that night was also a guest invited by himself, which cost more than 200,000 yuan, and he lost a lot directly, and the most important thing was that he couldn't save face.
Other auctioneers accused Chairman Chu of not abiding by the rules and not having the spirit of the contract in the group, and others were treated unfairly, and asked Zhou Hongyi to give an explanation.
Zhou Hongyi also lost his temper and directly asked what the other party meant?
Zhou Hongyi replied, things are not so simple
After asking President Chu, Zhou Hongyi gave a relevant reply, saying: President Chu needs some time to raise funds, don't worry, don't be impatient.
This is a bit ironic, Chairman Chu himself kept saying that money was not a problem, but at this time he said that he was fundraising, and it was confirmed that he was here to rub traffic, and he didn't really want to buy a car.
Chairman Chu directly withdrew from the legal representative of Tian'an Second-hand Car Company, which surprised everyone. This wave of operations really turned Zhou Hongyi's tricks.
Netizens are hotly discussed
Reputation is very important for people who do business, and if reputation goes bankrupt, then the company goes bankrupt, and reputation is more important than gold. The attitude of the company is obvious, but it has been affected.
Netizens said that during the auction, President Chu directly bid 9.9 million from more than 8 million, and directly predicted that he would definitely not pay the final payment. Another netizen said that this wave of traffic must have been earned, and the car is not worth much.
Netizens ridiculed that when they thought of spending 9.9 million, they didn't drink alcohol, they didn't add WeChat, and they didn't want to talk when they chatted, so they felt that it was not worth it.
Zhou Hongyi is the founder of 360, and 360 antivirus software was a smash hit that year, but it also received a lot of criticism.
Write to the end
This wave of operations is foggy, and since President Chu has already bidd, he must pay on time in accordance with the contract. Now that it has gone overtime, his reputation, as well as the reputation of his company, has been greatly affected, and the change of legal representative of the company can only solve part of the problem.
Let's wait quietly for the further development of the matter, and see what else Chairman Chu has to do in the future?
