9.90 million pay for the Maybach?

Buyer withdraws from used car company

On April 28, the second-hand Maybach S600 auction led by Zhou Hongyi was held offline. Under the ridicule of netizens, Zhou Hongyi set the starting price at 600 yuan, and the new car guide price of the car was 2.888 million yuan.

After continuous bidding, the car was finally bought by Chu Zhenliang (Douyin blogger @President Chu – Tianan used car) at a high price of 9.90 million yuan.

From 600 yuan to 9.90 million yuan, the price has increased by tens of thousands of times, even much higher than the new car guide price, and the dramatic development has made this matter receive a lot of attention on the Internet.

According to the public information of the Douyin account of "President Chu – Tian’an Used Car", President Chu is currently the executive chairperson of the Beijing Automobile Circulation Industry Association. Founded in 2002, Tian’an Company is one of the top 100 enterprises in the industry, with more than 500 vehicles in stock and more than 3,000 square meters of after-sales maintenance workshops.

In the video on April 29, Chu Zhenliang said that the 360 vice president had initialled the contract to pay part of the car payment, and the follow-up agreed to pick up the car and pay the balance.

On the evening of May 1, Douyin blogger @Tianjin Yihua Automobile posted a video saying: "The person who took the Maybach did not deliver the goods according to 24 hours, and has breached the contract. I am willing to take out 9.90 million and arrive at 360 headquarters at any time for delivery."

Not only the blogger, but also many used car dealers who participated in the auction revealed during the live broadcast last night that Zhou Hongyi did not receive the car payment. For a time, the buyer, President Chu, became the target of public criticism, and his peers accused him of lacking the spirit of contract.

According to the auction rules issued by the on-site used car dealer, once the bidder completes the bid, the bid must be accepted, and the price is valid within 48 hours after the auction ends. After the client confirms the transaction, the buyer needs to sign the "Confirmation of Transaction" and the "Contract for the Sale and Purchase of Used Cars", and pay the car payment to the auctioneer’s designated collection account within 2 hours. Otherwise, the auctioneer has the right to determine the buyer’s breach of contract and deduct the buyer’s full security deposit.

According to Blue Whale News, for the rumors of the above-mentioned outstanding car payment, the reporter called Chu Zhenliang several times on May 1 and 2, but none of them were connected.

Afterwards, the reporter called the Beijing Tian’an Old Motor Vehicle Brokerage Co., Ltd., which was certified by President Chu on Douyin. After connecting the phone, the other party said: "You are asking a lot, just wait." Immediately hung up the phone.

Reporter inquiry found that Beijing Tian’an old motor vehicle brokerage Co., Ltd. recently changed industry and commerce, Chu Zhenliang withdrew from the ranks of shareholders, and Chu Zhenliang stepped down as legal representative and executive director, the company’s registered capital was also reduced from 150,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan.

Regarding the question of whether to settle the payment, 360 told reporters that it had paid the money, but had not yet paid the full amount.

According to Sina Technology news, in response to the "President Chu 9.90 million Maybach has not paid the balance yet", Zhou Hongyi himself responded that President Chu needs some time to raise the money, take it easy.

On the morning of the 2nd, President Chu sent a video response: "After 9.90 million bought Mr. Zhou Maybach, we did encounter many practical problems during the period when our company team was not completed."

The Maybach auctioned was actually

Zhou Hongyi’s ex-wife’s property

Previously, some netizens found that the owner of the car was not Zhou Hongyi, but Beijing Dajue Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dajue Investment").

According to China Business News, the name of the owner of the auction target is "Beijing Dajue Investment Consulting Co., Ltd." according to the document information and the final contract page provided by the used car dealers participating in the auction.

According to First Financial

Tianyancha APP shows that Dajue Investment was established in January 2004, with registered capital and paid-up capital of 2483.1 million yuan, and its 100% controlling shareholder is Hu Huan.

In addition, Hu Huan, the controlling shareholder of Dajue Investment, also holds a 6.25% stake in 3606.25%. This also means that she is Zhou Hongyi’s ex-wife Hu Huan.

On April 30, the Red Star Capital Bureau called the 360 Securities Department as an investor, and the staff confirmed to the Red Star Capital Bureau that Zhou Hongyi and Hu Huan are still divorced.

The employee told the Red Star Capital Bureau that the reason why Maybach’s owner was Dajue Investment was because Zhou Hongyi did not have a driver’s license, so he could not be listed, so he registered with Hu Huan’s company name. "Although the registered name is different from the actual use right, as long as both parties agree, the auction can be carried out."

Regarding the proceeds from the auction, Zhou Hongyi once posted a video saying that he would not keep the money in his hands and would donate it to the Wang Xuan Foundation in the name of him and the car buyer after deducting taxes and fees.

For Chu Zhenliang, what he took a picture of this car was undoubtedly the traffic value outside the vehicle itself.

Since April 19, Chu Zhenliang has posted multiple videos about this Maybach S600, and also called out to Zhou Hongyi to share some traffic with him.

On the day of the auction, when Chu Zhenliang was on the same stage as Zhou Hongyi, he made it clear that he was going to rub this wave of traffic. As for what to use this Maybach to buy it back, he said it would be announced later.
