These days, the domestic automobile circle has really exploded! The new car has earned enough eyeballs with the Xiaomi SU7 released by Lei Jun, but what is even more exciting is that Zhou Hongyi's nine-year-old Mercedes-Benz Maybach has been auctioned for a sky-high price of 9.9 million yuan in the second-hand car market, which is nine times more than the market price! I am simply stunned, what kind of crazy world is this? Could it be that the second-hand car dealer is a fool with a lot of money, or does he have other plans?
Speaking of this second-hand car dealer, I really admire his business acumen. He auctioned Maybach at a sky-high price, became an Internet celebrity overnight, and took the opportunity to get acquainted with the bigwig Zhou Hongyi. Netizens also exploded, some praised him for being extremely smart, and some questioned whether he was just for hype. But to be honest, I admire his courage, after all, such an investment is not a small amount!
Zhou Hongyi was also stunned this time, he didn't expect his Maybach to fetch such a high price. Although he was happy about it, I could tell that he was also a little helpless. The auction is more of a commercial show than a real deal. However, Zhou Hongyi is also a smart person, and he said that he will learn from this and be more cautious in business cooperation in the future.
This auction was really eye-opening, not only making Zhou Hongyi and second-hand car dealers the focus of the Internet, but also sparking heated discussions about network traffic and commercial value. Experts have also begun to speak out, they say that this is a new change in the business model in the Internet era, and the era of traffic is king has arrived. Other bigwigs in the tech circle also began to pay attention to the matter, sympathizing with Zhou Hongyi's plight, and also expressing puzzlement about the behavior of second-hand car dealers.
At the thank-you banquet after the auction, Zhou Hongyi invited second-hand car dealers, but encountered all kinds of embarrassment. There were constant episodes such as being asked to introduce Ma Huateng and the number of WeChat friends was full, and he was even questioned in person because he couldn't drink. This dinner has become a farce! I can't cry or laugh when I see it, and netizens are also talking about it. Some people expressed sympathy for Zhou Hongyi's plight, while others thought it was a lesson he deserved.
To be honest, I really love and hate this kind of social culture in the business world. On the one hand, this kind of networking does lead to a lot of business opportunities, but on the other hand, it can also feel hypocritical at times. This farce made me deeply suspicious of the social culture in the tech world. I began to question whether some people in this circle were too utilitarian and lacked sincerity.
But then again, it did bring me a lot of fun. Looking at the embarrassing performance of these bigwigs in business situations, I actually have an inexplicable pleasure! Hahaha! Maybe this is the fun of eating melons!
But the climax of this scene is still to come! The second-hand car dealer who took the Maybach at a sky-high price did not pay the final payment on time! What is even more outrageous is that he also took this opportunity to leave the company, suspected of evading responsibility. This move undoubtedly made this turmoil even more magnificent! Netizens have accused him of dishonest behavior and even launched a boycott action. The top management of Tian'an Company was also furious about this and considered taking legal measures. Zhou Hongyi also expressed disappointment, but he respected the legal judgment and hoped that the matter would have a positive impact on the industry.
In retrospect, the Maybach auction was truly breathtaking! But then again, this turmoil also made me deeply appreciate the complexity and cruelty of the business world. To mix in this circle, you must not only have brains and strength, but also have enough courage and integrity. I hope that there will be fewer such things in the future! There will be more sincerity and trust! After all, we all want to see a more fair, just and honest business environment!
