According to the pictures released by it, the buyer needs to complete the signing of the "Second-hand Car Sales Contract" within 1 hour after the completion of the car inspection, and pay the car to the auctioneer’s designated collection account within 2 hours, otherwise the auctioneer has the right to determine that the buyer is in breach of contract. This move also caused dissatisfaction among bidders in the same field.

Zhou Hongyi responded that the buyer had not paid the balance

On May 2, in response to "President Chu’s 9.90 million Maybach has not paid the balance yet", Zhou Hongyi himself responded to Sina Technology that President Chu needs some time to raise the money, take it easy.

According to the released pictures, the buyer needs to complete the signing of the "Second-hand Car Sales Contract" within 1 hour after the completion of the car inspection, 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.

It is reported that the buyer of the Maybach is the president of Tianan used car, Chu, who not only founded the car dealership, but also serves as the executive chairperson of the Beijing Automobile Circulation Industry Association. At the same time, he is also a live streaming host with 100,000 fans, and he is also known as a senior auction auction expert.

President Chu once said bluntly: "Since President Zhou decided to sell Maybach, I have been rubbing President Zhou’s traffic." After taking the picture of the car, he said he had other purposes, but he needed to communicate with Zhou Hongyi privately.

President Chu also made a major move that triggered market speculation.

According to the Tianyancha APP, Beijing Tian’an Old Motor Vehicle Brokerage Co., Ltd. has undergone industrial and commercial changes recently, and the registered capital has been reduced from "150,000 yuan" to "50,000 yuan". President Chu Zhenliang stepped down as the legal representative and withdrew from the ranks of shareholders. Before the withdrawal, the shareholding exceeded 33%.

Zhou Hongyi became an Internet celebrity

After announcing the "car change", Zhou Hongyi appeared at the Beijing Auto Show on April 25.

On the same day, Zhou Hongyi and NIO Li Bin, Ningde Times Zeng Yuqun live broadcast in the same frame. Zeng Yuqun praised Zhou Hongyi as an Internet celebrity now, and Li Bin on the side laughed and said he was not an Internet celebrity, or an honest car.

It is worth noting that on the day of the Beijing Auto Show, a picture of Zhou Hongyi sitting on the roof quickly circulated on the Internet, and some netizens jokingly called him "the only car model on the first day of the 2024 Beijing Auto Show".

Zhou Hongyi then responded on Weibo: "I am a little afraid of society, it is easy to stay still in the face of the camera, plus the live broadcast is a little bit laggy, many people think I am a digital person. In order to prove that I am a real person, I will use my rock climbing advantages to climb on the roof of the car. Others mistakenly think that I am going to protect my rights. I have nothing to protect my rights. Everyone’s cars are doing very well. Today, I experienced a domestic car. I saw one and loved one. Now I am only worried that the license plate is not enough."

Recently, Zhou Hongyi’s topic of "changing cars" has attracted widespread attention on the Internet. On April 18, Zhou Hongyi announced on Weibo that he would sell the Maybach that had accompanied him for 9 years and replace it with a domestic new energy vehicle.

On the evening of April 18, XPeng Motors posted on the official Weibo that it had sent Xiaopeng X9 to the downstairs of 360 Company and welcomed Zhou Hongyi to experience it in depth.

On April 19, Zhou Hongyi posted a video on Weibo saying: "Weak Water 3000 can only take one scoop of drink, I am dazzled, which one should I choose? After sending the car, my friends gave me a lot of information. I was like a mouse falling into a rice bowl, and I didn’t know which one to eat. Yu Chengdong and Li Bin arranged for people to connect with me and recommend their favorite works. Xiaopeng was the fastest, and he actually sent the car downstairs to our company. I haven’t returned to the company today, and I hope to take a look when I go to work tomorrow."

"Also, Haitao from Extreme Krypton is very quick. He directly recommended Extreme Krypton 009 to me on Weibo. Many people recommended Wang Chuanfu’s BYD car, and I was overjoyed to see the U8 arranged for me." He said.

On April 20, Zhou Hongyi posted a video saying: "Extreme krypton delivery car let me try it out, free up the square downstairs of the company, and we can hold a small car show."

On April 22, Zhou Hongyi posted a post on Weibo, again responding to his motivation for selling cars for replacement.

Zhou Hongyi wrote: "The Internet has been quite lively in the past two days, and all kinds of rumors have been swirling, which has made me very happy. Some people speculated about my motivation for selling cars and choosing cars, and also said with certainty that I will definitely choose Nezha in the end. I also responded that I did the recommendation and solicitation of new energy vehicles, definitely not to lift a sedan chair for Nezha, but to sing praises for China’s new energy connected cars. I tried the JK 009, the ideal Mega, and Wang Chuanfu’s looking up U8 yesterday, all of which far exceeded my expectations. I will try Lao Yu’s M9 soon. Li Bin also asked me to wait for his ET9. Brother Li Shufu personally asked me if I wanted to customize a car. I am really touched. I want to tell you a point of view through my own experience and influence, that China’s intelligent connected car and new energy vehicle industries have risen. "

Buying a fuel car becomes a minority

Recently, the topic of "buying fuel vehicles and becoming a minority" has hit Baidu’s hot search.

At the China Electric Vehicle 100 Forum held this year, BYD President Wang Chuanfu predicted that China’s new energy vehicle penetration rate is about to exceed 50%, and the future may not stop there.

At the beginning of the new year in 2024, BYD, the leading company of new energy vehicles, took the lead in launching a "low electricity-to-oil" price reduction, which also led to the follow-up of a series of new energy vehicle companies.

Under this wave of price cuts, the market space for fuel vehicles has been further squeezed. According to public data, in March this year, the sales of GAC Honda Accord fell by 72.6%, and the sales of GAC Toyota Camry fell by 59.2%.

Ping An Securities expects that the "price war" led by leading new energy vehicle companies will continue in 2024, especially in the mainstream price range of 100,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan.

In addition, another car company has started a "price war".

On April 21, Tesla China announced that all Model Y, Model S and Model X models on sale in the Chinese market will be reduced in price. This move marks the adjustment of Tesla China’s price increase strategy, and also means that it has officially joined the domestic new energy vehicle price reduction war in response to market changes and consumer demand.

On April 24, the official Weibo of "Tesla" announced that Model 3 and Model Y have started a limited-time "0 yuan season", and the next designated version of Model 3 can enjoy "0 down payment" and preferential interest rates, and the next designated version of Model Y can enjoy a limited-time "0 down payment" or "0 interest".

On the same day, the new Model 3 high-performance version officially landed on Tesla China’s official website, starting at 335,900 yuan, and the new car ushered in a comprehensive rejuvenation in appearance, performance, control and other aspects.

XPeng Motors announced on April 20 that from now until May 5, 2024, it will launch a limited-time 500 million yuan car purchase subsidy, covering a total of four models of Xiaopeng G9, G6, P7i and 2024 Xiaopeng P5.

GAC Aian also announced earlier that the price of the AION Y Plus will be reduced by 10,000 yuan (excluding the AION Y Plus 310 Xingyao version), once again lowering the threshold for entry-level pure electric SUVs. At the same time, the AION S MAX, a compact car under the Aian brand, has also been reduced by 10,000 yuan.

Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, said that in previous years, the price war in the national passenger car market, usually the level of promotion growth at the end of each year was about 4 points higher than that at the end of the previous year, but this year the price war in the national passenger car market continued to be intense. The price of new energy passenger vehicles has been sharply reduced, but the current promotion of fuel vehicles has reached a certain bottom line, so the situation of new energy alone cutting prices cannibalizing the fuel vehicle market has formed.

Many industry analysts, the current new energy vehicle market penetration rate will continue to grow. China Electric Vehicle 100 people predict that in 2024, China’s new energy vehicle sales are expected to break through the 13 million mark, the penetration rate will exceed 40%, which also indicates that the competition between new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles will become increasingly fierce.
