The Transport Department held a license plate auction for the Chinese New Year in the Year of the Rabbit today (12th). The custom license plate "R" was finally bid 68 times and sold for 25.5 million yuan. The whole process took about 10 minutes.
The buyer who successfully bid for the license plate, 123 bidders, joined the bidding when the auction price increased to 9.2 million yuan, and then kept going back and forth with another female buyer to create the sky-high price of the license plate "R".
In the early stage, someone tried to scare off the opponent with a high price. Among them, the bidder holding No. 77 bid from 10,000 yuan to 1 million yuan, but then someone counter-bid to 1.8 million yuan to scare him away; when it reached 2.1 million yuan , Bidder No. 64 bid 5 million yuan, that is, a one-time increase of 2.9 million yuan.
But in any case, it was not as exciting as the bids and counter bids of the two female bidders 123 and 161.
