Man pays $1m for lucky mobile phone number
An online buyer has paid nine million yuan ($1.1 million) for a cell phone number on a Chinese auction site, state press reports. A deal for the number 135 8585 8585, which has a similar pronunciation in Chinese to ?let me be rich, be rich, be rich, be rich,? was completed this week after an exchange of some 70 bids, the Shanghai Daily reported.
?We have checked our records and confirmed the deal,? the newspaper quoted Tang Lei, a public relations manager at EachNet.com, as saying. Tang added that he believed it was the highest price ever paid for a phone number online.
However, the website cannot enforce the deal and ?the possibility cannot be ruled out that purchasers will break the deal and negotiate a price offline,? Tang said. ?AFP
