Before that, customers were thoroughly informed and guided on the new auction process in a specific way; all relevant information was filled in on the bid form, secretly sealed in an envelope before being put into the ballot box and made public when the ballot box was unsealed.
Under the close supervision of the District Supervisory Council, the auction was conducted publicly, transparently, and in accordance with the law. After only 2 hours, 15/15 plots of land in Hau Thanh commune were successfully auctioned, the highest plot costing over 1.302 billion VND, the lowest plot costing 381 million VND. The total amount collected was 8.339 billion VND, higher than the starting price of 4.338 billion VND.
During the auction, there is no longer the situation of "land brokers" running rampant to fix prices and causing chaos like before.
