Chapter 748 An idea that greatly increases the value of gold
"God, these little things are so beautiful." William directly put away the fully exposed ruby, which was bigger than an adult's fist, and said without blushing at all,
“I thought I would be lucky to find one, but I didn’t expect that God would directly give me a nest of gems.
Sorry, this ruby that I now named Devonshire's Star will definitely not be auctioned. It only belongs to the Devonshire family and only to my mother Lena Devonshire.
To this end, I decided to donate ten tons of Mars gold to the World Children's Fund and randomly select five remaining rubies for auction."
"Ten tons of gold?"
Those who originally despised William when they heard that only five gems were sold couldn't help but fell silent.
Although everyone understands that gold is nothing to William, at today's gold price it is still more than 200 million US dollars.
While William was cleaning up the Ruby Nest, Jesse, who was watching the live broadcast with Lina in the castle, suddenly said,
"Madam, I think we would rather donate 200 million US dollars directly.
You must also keep those ten tons of Martian gold in your hands.”
Because of the ruby, he was so excited, and because William was his son, even if he stayed on Mars, he would always think about Lena, her mother.
After hearing Jesse's words, not only did she look at Jesse, but Abi, Serena and Nissa also looked over in confusion.
This made Jesse sit upright and said slightly nervously, "When I was walking on the streets in New York, I often heard about antique gold coins.
Should we turn the first batch of Martian gold into commemorative gold coins? After all, it was the precious metal that humans brought back from Mars for the first time."
"That's right, that's right." As soon as Jesse finished speaking, Abi suddenly said, "Why didn't I think of that?"
"The first batch of gold shipped back from Mars, made into gold coins, will definitely have great commemorative significance."
Abi stood up excitedly and walked around for a while, but then said angrily, "Two spaceships can transport one hundred tons back. The amount of gold is too much.
Even if a large gold coin of one hundred grams is made, one million coins can be made from one hundred tons of gold.
If the amount of existence is too great, the value will not increase many times."
"That's not necessarily the case."
She is a super rich vampire, and Nesa is better than Abi in some aspects. After thinking about it, she answered,
"The current value of one hundred tons of gold is about two billion U.S. dollars. If it is made into a commemorative coin, the value will immediately rise several levels.
And we don’t need to make all of them into one gold coin, such as Mars landing commemorative gold coin, spaceship commemorative coin, Devon Hill family commemorative coin, Olympus volcano commemorative coin, etc.
As long as you find the right selling point, the overall value will double or triple in a few years, which is normal.
We can even find some suitable reasons to publicly auction thousands of gold coins.
In this period of Mars fever, a 100-gram Mars gold coin with an actual value of 2,000 U.S. dollars, and an auction price of several hundred U.S. dollars, is not a problem at all for the ordinary middle class.
Besides, we must have more than nine layers of these one million gold coins in our collection.
So there are only 100,000 gold coins actually in circulation. With the gimmick of Mars, 100,000 gold coins divided into several patterns are not many for collectors."
If only 20,000 to 30,000 pieces of a pattern are circulated to the outside world, then it is not a lot, but the quantity is too small.
Even if the collecting community knows that William's family still has 900,000 coins, will William be short of money? Will he be so depressed that he must sell his collection in a few years?
Normally, these 900,000 gold coins would not be auctioned for less than William's next generation, or even several generations later.
Just like most people know that there is actually a serious surplus of diamonds, so much that no one can even get enough of them.
But the Diamond Group only sells a small part every year, and the price of diamonds is still rising steadily.
In addition, gold coins themselves cannot fall below the price of gold. Collecting gold coins with great commemorative significance will definitely maintain their value better than pure gold.
With the Mars craze around the world stirred up by William, the circulation value of these gold coins can be calculated with just a few clicks.
Not to mention too much, if the first batch of two thousand U.S. dollar gold coins is released and sold for two thousand two U.S. dollars, there will be no problem at all.
When no one can buy it, private transaction prices will easily become quarrelsome.
The second batch can be sold for US$2,500, no problem, and it shouldn’t be difficult to sell it for US$3,000 in the first half of the year.
Even if it is really in your own hands for the time being, it will only be two billion without spending any money. At most, it will be a waste of processing fees, and it will be nothing more than free gold from Mars.
If you keep it in your hands for decades and then speculate on it, you will not believe that the value of these gold coins will not increase.
With this in mind, the four women of William and his mother immediately felt that this thing could be done, and it was more practical and meaningful than simply owning gold.
From now on, as long as these gold coins are around, people will definitely mention the Devonshire family.
Mentioning William and her, Lena Devonshire, thinking of this, Lina directly decided, "Make one hundred thousand Devonshire family gold coins.
The family's male deer emblem is used on the front of the pattern, and the castle is used on the back."
"Okay, ma'am".
After the four Abis agreed, they looked at each other and said, "Shall we use your heads to make a batch of gold coins?"
"No, I don't want to be laughed at," Lina said very self-awarely, "use William's head to make the Duke of Devonshire gold coin.
I still hold the title of hereditary Grand Duke, so what does it mean for me to appear on gold coins?
No, this is not a good idea."
Abi, who is very familiar with the history of ancient European gold coins, sighed in relief when he heard Lina's words, rolled his eyes and said,
"Then we will only make 10,000 pieces and use them as family commemorative coins for our own collection.
Maybe hundreds of years from now, this Madame Lina gold coin, of which only 10,000 were produced, will be the most valuable for collection."
"Haha", Lina couldn't help laughing happily when she heard this. This is really not impossible.
The number of gold coins in the same period is at least 100,000. Although the gold coins with Lina's head are not well-known, they account for a small number. She is a famous mother and is not unknown, so the collection value is not small.
Lina said she didn't want to be laughed at, but who would refuse something that could be passed down in the memory of future generations? She said with a smile on her face,
"Okay, anyway, William is not short of gold, let alone money, so I will make something for myself to play with."
Then the thoughts in his mind changed and he looked at Abi who looked expectant, but this time Lina pretended not to see it.
As the mother of William, the hereditary Grand Duke, she was too embarrassed to make gold coins with her own image.
If their family dared to make gold coins belonging to Abi and several William women, they would definitely be ridiculed for the rest of their lives, and they might even be written into the history of the nobility for future generations to ridicule at will.
Seeing Lina's expression, Abi knew that her idea was useless. Lover and wife were definitely farther away in the aristocratic system than from Blue Star to Mars.
Fortunately, she has always been in a good mood. Even though she was discouraged, she still cheered up and said to Sunday, "Did you hear what we just said?"
Sunday's voice immediately sounded in the castle living room, "Yes, Miss Abigail, what are your orders?"
"Now that you heard it, tell William about it. He must have more ideas than us."
