Registered in August 2003, the domain 'Rey.com' carries meanings such as 'eye-catching,' 'hotly debated,' and 'hotly displayed' in Chinese. In English, it corresponds to the well-known American singer Lana Del Rey. It also holds the meaning of 'king,' referring to a wise and courageous individual. 'Rey' is a gender-neutral name derived from Spanish, Latin, and French origins.

In fact, the domain 'rey.com' was auctioned in 2017 for $50,499, equivalent to approximately 330,380 RMB at the exchange rate of that time.
