The results of the car license plate auction on January 15, 2024, from 10:15 to 10:45, have attracted the attention of many wealthy people and license plate enthusiasts. One player spent 1 billion VND to win the bid for the license plate 60K-444.44, a rare five-digit license plate.

Many people tend to avoid license plates with a lot of the numbers 4 and 7 because they believe they bring bad luck. However, recently, a four-digit license plate with the prefix 60K from Dong Nai province attracted the highest bid of 1 billion VND, proving that not everyone wants to shy away from license plates with many number 4s.

According to the beliefs of many people, the number 4 is considered an unlucky number that brings difficulties, hardships, and losses. Therefore, many wealthy individuals tend to avoid license plates with the numbers 4 and 7 because of their negative connotations.

However, every number has two sides, and what may be suitable for one person can bring challenges to another. The number 4 is no exception. In the theory of Yin and Yang, the number 4 represents different stages of the universe such as Taiyang (Supreme Yang), Yinyang (Yin-Yang), Thiếu Dương (Scarcity of Yang), and Thiếu Âm (Scarcity of Yin). These stages represent extreme development or decline in society. Additionally, the number 4 is an even number, symbolizing stability, tranquility, and less turbulence.

Furthermore, the number 4 can also represent kindness, a thirst for knowledge, and intelligence, making it easier for individuals to adapt to natural conditions and achieve rapid growth. Humans go through four stages in life: being born, growing up, aging, and passing away (birth-growth-illness-death). There are four seasons in a year, and the four cardinal directions are all related to the number 4.

According to regulations, the winning bidder of the car license plate auction must pay the full bidding amount within 15 days from the date of the auction results announcement. This amount is deducted from the bidding deposit (40 million VND), but does not include the vehicle registration fee.

Afterwards, within 12 months, the winning bidder must register the license plate for their car. If they fail to do so within the specified period, the beautiful license plate will be transferred to the registration and vehicle management system, and the winning bidder will not be refunded the bidding amount they have paid.
