Chinese woman stuns BMW dealership by paying for luxury car with mountain of one-yuan notes
It took 20 employees in Henan province six hours to count out 100,000 yuan in one-yuan notes, which was part of the payment for her new one-million yuan BMW car
A woman stunned staff at a car showroom by making a part payment for a new BMW 730Li using 100,000 yuan (HK$126,700) in one-yuan banknotes.
It took 20 employees in Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan province, six hours to count the money – from 9.30am to 3.30pm, without any rest, news website Eastday.com reports.
The unnamed buyer, who owns a food retail business, paid the rest of the cost of her one-million-yuan car with her bank card.
She said people often paid her at work using small denomination notes.
As she was often busy she had decided to keep the banknotes until she was able to spend them all at once when buying a car.
