Once Bought 15 Million Gold Ornaments &Nbsp; Experts Remind Gold Is Not A Safe Deposit Box.

"Last week

Someone buys 150 thousand at a time.

"Since the price of gold rose on Monday, there has been a very strange phenomenon."

Fu Feng Road, the head of the old Fengxiang Silver Tower told reporters that this Monday and Tuesday for 2 consecutive days, customers have to buy a one-time purchase of about 150 thousand yuan of gold jewelry, "this phenomenon is very rare, only a one-time customer has bought about 100000 gold bars, after all, gold jewelry can not be realized, more collections, preservation function.

This may be recent.

Reporters visited a number of gold and jewellery stores in Shanghai yesterday, and found that despite the decline in the number of foreign tourists after the end of World Expo, the number of customers buying gold has been increasing.

On the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, the reporter came to a small area of the old Fengxiang Silver Tower, and saw about thirty or forty customers buying gold ornaments and gold bars in the shop. Because of too many people, the gold counters were relatively small, which led to a crowded front desk.

"The price of gold has gone up, and more people have bought it."

A customer sighed.

Delayed business hours of some stores

At the city god jewelry store of Fu you road, gold jewelry and gold bar counters were crowded with customers. "Sales on Monday and Tuesday are over 1 million yuan per day for two days, which is hard to imagine in the past."

"The recent sales of gold bars have gone up very fast, and sometimes they can sell 2 kilos a day, but they may not sell 1 kilograms a day," Cheng Huang jewelry official said.

"Our sales volume this Monday also exceeded 2 million yuan. In the past, during the working day, such a high daily sales volume was almost none."

Lao Fengxiang Town God's Temple shop official said.

The head of the gold market department of the old temple also said that compared with 7 and August, the sales volume of gold bars rose by 300%. This month, another customer bought 7.5 kilograms of gold bars at a time, and the price was about 2 million 200 thousand yuan.

Because of the enthusiasm of citizens buying gold, some jewellers have appeared in the past few days in the past few days. Many people came to buy gold bars or gold ornaments from the suburbs.

Town God's Temple old Fengxiang Silver Tower and City God jewelry store all postponed the evening business hours according to the passenger flow situation.

The head of the old silver tower said that stores usually closed at 9 in the evening, but on Monday night, because many shoppers were picking gold bars and gold ornaments at 89 o'clock, shops had to delay their business hours again and again, and they had to leave the last customer until nearly 10.

Small size gold bars need to be booked in advance.

With the rising prices of "rice, oil and salt", people's expectations of inflation have increased. More and more citizens are beginning to find a way out for their "idle money". Physical gold, which is characterized by small risks, high value preservation and realizable features, is gradually showing its advantages.

The person in charge of the gold and silver building of the old temple said that people bought the gold bars in the shop a few months ago. They could basically "spot the goods". But now some shops have 20 grams, 50 grams and other small specifications of gold bars are often broken, and some specifications have been changed to "7 days ahead of time booking".

Ms. pan, who has been paying attention to the price of gold, came to the Golden Temple of the old temple of the Yu Garden mall on 600655 Tuesday night. "I heard a salesperson say to 20 customers, 20 grams and 50 grams of Expo gold bars were sold out.

But customers have repeatedly expressed their desire to buy small specifications of the world's gold bars. The shop assistants were very anxious to call to see if they could fill any more goods. When I visited the store again on Wednesday, the two specifications were filled.

"Now the gold market is a bit like the property market in previous years. On the one hand, many people are afraid to buy gold at high prices. On the other hand, as the price of gold continues to rise, people who have already sold out feel that they have received substantial benefits, and those who have not bought it have regretted it."

One industry source said.

Ms. Zhu, who lives in Pudong Waigaoqiao (600648, stock bar), told reporters that he had always wanted to buy some gold bars to keep his value. Last week he was going to Town God's Temple to buy a 50 gram investment gold bar. Last Thursday, he saw that the gold price was 290 yuan / gram. He felt too high and hesitated to buy it. He came to see it again in second days, and the investment in gold bar rose by 6 yuan per gram.

Coming back this week, I found that it had risen to more than 300 yuan per gram. "At last, I bought it at a price of 302 yuan.

In a week's time, 10 yuan per gram.

Buying gold is "anti inflation".

In the jewelry department of Yongan department store, a more than 50 year old Mr. Wu talked about his money management: many people, like me, buy gold in order to preserve and increase their assets.

It is a loss to put money in the bank now.

Take me as an example. Now there is a deposit of 200 thousand yuan. If I put it in a bank for a year, then it will be 5000 yuan a year.

In fact, money is shrinking because of the price index.

From the end of October to the present, the price of gold bars has increased by more than 4% in just more than 10 days. That is to say, more than 10 days will increase the value of 8000 yuan. Although the additional cost of buying gold bars and labor costs, the actual revenue is still far higher than the bank deposit rate.
