At around 4:00 p.m., the "highlight" was the auction of the custom license plate "R". The reserve price was 5,000 yuan. The lady won the bid, and the audience gave warm applause to congratulate her on successfully bidding for the license plate.

2021 single letter "W" record-breaking transaction
The Chinese New Year license plate auction was suspended last year due to the epidemic, and it is making a comeback today. Compared with the last Chinese New Year license plate auction held in 2021, the single word "W" license plate broke the record and was sold at a sky-high price of 26 million yuan.
There are 49 license plates auctioned today, and there are many matching numbers containing the number "8" in the Chinese New Year auction, such as "RR 6688", "WE 1688", "VV 8888" and "UU 88".
However, today's focus is still on the 26th single-letter "R" license plate auctioned.

The license plate expert expects the transaction price to be close to 10 million
Yan Wenhan, the person in charge of the High Quality Lucky License Plate Center, said earlier that "R" represents the number 9 in the number of flying stars in the Nine Palaces, and it also symbolizes Ninth Luck. Since Ninth Luck will be prosperous in the next 20 years, it is expected to be absolutely popular among car owners.
As for "R" can be the prefix of "Racing", "All sports cars are called R or R, such as GTR." He expects to attract super sports car owners to bid.
Although the "R" could also be "Rabbit" to match the Year of the Rabbit, it will not be the main attraction.
He estimated that the "R" auction price is relatively erratic, but driven by the previous "V" and "W" license plates, it is expected that the transaction price will be close to 10 million yuan, and it may reach 13 million to 14 million yuan depending on the situation on the spot.
