"God, these little things are really too beautiful," William said without blushing at all as he put away the ruby that was bigger than an adult's fist that revealed its full appearance.
"I thought I was lucky to find one, but I didn't expect God to give me a nest of gems.
Sorry, this ruby that I have named Devonshire's Star will definitely not be auctioned. It only belongs to the Devonshire family and my mother, Lena - Devonshire.
For this reason, I have decided to donate ten tons of Martian gold to the World Children's Fund and randomly pick out five of the remaining rubies to auction. "
"Ten tons of gold?"
The people who despised William when they heard that he was only selling five gems fell silent.
Although everyone understood that gold was nothing to William, it was still more than 200 million US dollars according to today's gold price.
While William was packing up the ruby nest, Jesse, who was accompanying Lena to watch the live broadcast in the castle, suddenly said.
"Madam, I think we would rather donate 200 million US dollars directly.
We must also keep the ten tons of Martian gold in our hands. "
It was precisely because of that ruby that Lena was so excited, and William, as her son, was always thinking of her mother even when she was on Mars.
Hearing Jesse's words, not only did she look at Jesse, but Abby, Serena, and Nissa also looked over in confusion.
This made Jesse sit up straight and say nervously, "When I was on the streets of New York, I often heard about antique gold coins.
Should we make the first batch of Martian gold into commemorative gold coins? After all, that is the first precious metal that humans brought back from Mars. "
"That's right, that's right." Just as Jesse finished speaking, Abby suddenly realized and said, "Why didn't I think of that?"
"The first batch of gold brought back from Mars will definitely have a great commemorative significance if it is made into gold coins."
Abby stood up excitedly and walked around for a moment, but then said in annoyance, "Two spaceships can transport a hundred tons back, the amount of gold is too much.
Even if we make a big gold coin of 100 grams, a hundred tons of gold can be made into a million pieces.
If the amount is too large, the value will not increase by many times. "
"That's not necessarily true."
Her family was a super rich Blood Breed, and Nissa was better than Abby in some aspects. She thought for a moment before answering.
"100 tons of gold is worth about 2 billion USD now. If it's made into a commemorative coin, the value will increase by several folds.
Moreover, we don't have to make all of them into one type of gold coin, such as the Mars Landing Commemorative Coin, the Spaceship Commemorative Coin, the Devonshire Commemorative Coin, or the Olympus Commemorative Coin.
As long as they could find a suitable selling point, it would be normal for their overall value to double or triple in a few years.
We can even find a suitable reason to auction off a few thousand gold coins.
In this hot Martian period, a hundred grams of Martian gold was actually worth two thousand US dollars. The auction price was a few hundred US dollars higher for the average middle-class person.
What's more, we'll definitely have to collect at least 90% of these gold coins.
That's why there are only 100,000 coins in circulation. With the gimmick of Mars, 100,000 gold coins divided into several patterns isn't a lot for collectors. "
If there were only twenty to thirty thousand pieces of a pattern in circulation, it wasn't a lot, it was just too little.
Even if the collectors knew that William still had 900,000 pieces in his house, would William be short of money? Would he be down to the point where he had to sell his collection in a few years?
Normally speaking, these 900,000 gold coins wouldn't be auctioned until William's next generation, or even a few generations later.
Just like how most people knew that there was a serious surplus of diamonds, so much so that everyone couldn't share one.
However, the diamond group only sold a small portion every year, and the price of diamonds was still rising steadily.
In addition, it was impossible for gold coins to fall below the price of gold. Collecting gold coins with great commemorative significance was definitely more valuable than pure gold.
With the world's Martian fever stirred up by William, the circulating value of this batch of gold coins only needed to be slightly copied.
Not to mention more, the first batch of 2,000 USD gold coins could be sold for 2,200 USD without a problem.
When everyone couldn't buy it, the private transaction price would be easily quarreled.
The second batch could be sold for 2,500 USD, right? It shouldn't be difficult to sell it for 3,000 USD in the first half of the year.
Even if he did smash it in his hands for the time being, it would only be two billion that he didn't spend. At most, he would waste some processing fees and the gold that he obtained from Mars.
If he kept it in his hands for a few decades and then speculated, he didn't believe that the value of these gold coins wouldn't increase.
With this thought in mind, the four William's women and his mother immediately felt that this matter could work, and it was more realistic than simply owning gold.
In the future, as long as these gold coins existed, people would inevitably mention the Devonshire Family.
At the mention of William, at the mention of her, Lena - Devonshire. Thinking of this, Lena directly decided, "Make 100,000 Devonshire Family gold coins.
The front of the design would use the family's deer emblem, and the back would use the word "castle."
"Yes, madam."
After Abby and the other three agreed, they looked at each other and said, "Should we use your head to make a batch of gold coins?"
"No, I don't want to be laughed at," Lena said self-consciously. "Using William's head to make Devonshire Grand Duke gold coins, I still have the title of the Grand Duke of Devonshire.
I still have the title of a hereditary Grand Duke. Why would I appear on the gold coins?
No, this isn't a good idea. "
Abby, who was very familiar with the history of ancient European gold coins, heard Lena's words and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Then we'll only make 10,000 of them as family commemorative coins for our own collection.
Maybe a few hundred years later, this kind of Madam Lena gold coin that only makes 10,000 of them will be the most collectible. "
"Haha," Lena heard this and couldn't help but laugh happily. This really wasn't impossible.
At the same time, there were at least 100,000 gold coins. As for Lena's head, although she wasn't very famous, it accounted for a small number of gold coins. Moreover, she was the mother of a famous person, so she wasn't considered unknown. The collectible value wouldn't be small.
Lena said that 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 smiling face.
"Alright, anyway, William doesn't lack gold or money. Then I'll make some for myself to play with."
Then, her mind turned and she looked at Abby, who had an expectant expression. This time, Lena pretended not to see it.
As the mother of William, the Grand Duke, she was embarrassed to make a gold coin for her own head.
If their family dared to make gold coins for Abby and William's women, they would definitely be laughed at for a lifetime. It might even be written into the history of the aristocracy for future generations to mock.
Seeing Lena's expression, Abby knew that her idea was hopeless. In the aristocratic system, lovers and wives were definitely farther away than Blue Planet and Mars.
Fortunately, her mentality had always been very good. Even if she was discouraged, she still cheered up and said to Sunday, "Did you hear what we said just now?"
Sunday's voice immediately sounded from the castle's living room, "Yes, Miss Abigail, what are your orders?"
"Since you heard it, then tell this to William. He must have more ideas than us."
