As a newly emerged “internet celebrity” in the automotive industry, Zhou Hongyi successfully sold his Maybach 600 for a whopping 9.9 million yuan!
Interestingly, Zhou Hongyi set the starting price for this Maybach 600 at only 600 yuan, and the final selling price was 16,500 times the starting price.
According to the prearranged agreement, the buyer of this car will have the opportunity to have a face-to-face meal and exchange with Zhou Hongyi once a year for the next three years.
Regarding why he sold his car, Zhou Hongyi explained that regardless of whether people see it as a publicity stunt or performance art, he believes that domestically produced new energy intelligent connected vehicles will far surpass foreign brands, redefining the concept of “luxury cars” and becoming the preferred choice for ordinary consumers and entrepreneurs. Therefore, he is using practical actions to support domestic cars.
Zhou Hongyi also promised that regardless of how much money is raised, he will not keep a single cent. After taxes, the full amount will be jointly donated to the Wang Xuan Foundation with the buyer.
