Today, a Chongqing uncle directly took 12 ingots of gold yuan treasure to buy a house, causing many netizens to pay attention.
Many people are curious, how much is 12 gold ingots worth? Is it legal to go beyond the renminbi and directly buy something with precious metals such as gold and silver? How exactly is the gold ingot of the grandfather's family heirloom? Today, let's analyze it.
To tell the truth, this year, I have seen a lot of things about using a car to pull a few sacks of change to buy a house and buy a car, but the practice of buying a house directly with real money and silver is still the first time I have encountered it.
According to reports, the incident occurred on Monday, a house buyer filled out the subscription book, and then took out 12 gold yuan treasure on the spot to pay for the house. Such a move was not only watched on the spot, but also made the property consultant look dazed.
However, the god of wealth came to buy a house, and a shot was real money and silver, how could the housing enterprise refuse? The real estate immediately found a professional organization to identify the authenticity and value of the gold yuanbao on the spot. After testing, the gold yuanbao is real, but the consideration of the fluctuation of the gold price is consulted by the customer's children.
According to the grandfather's children, the gold yuanbao is a collection of the deceased mother, and there is no willingness to sell it now. After negotiation, the gold was recovered by the children and paid for the house in currency.
Seeing this, many people may have understood that in the face of 12 gold yuanbao, this real estate company was moved and tried to facilitate the transaction through third-party identification. So, are housing companies really doing this legally?
As we all know, China's legal tender is the renminbi, and the renminbi as a currency has five functions: value scale, circulation means, payment means, storage means and world currency. In daily life, whether it is consumption or remuneration, we are exposed to RMB, and precious metals such as gold and silver are restricted in circulation, and it is obvious that gold yuanbao does not have such a function, even if it is "real money and silver".
And in modern society, all countries will strive to maintain the stability of their own currency value, to avoid the ups and downs on production and operation and people's lives, even if it is a serious inflation country, the currency depreciation is serious, such as Venezuela, Zimbabwe and other countries, there is no direct use of gold and silver payment phenomenon, the most merchants only accept the US dollar, not accept the national currency.
It should be pointed out that according to Article 7 of China's Regulations on the Administration of Gold and Silver, "in the territory of the People's Republic of China, all units and individuals are not allowed to use gold and silver for value, and it is forbidden to buy and sell privately and borrow money to mortgage gold and silver." ”
As a netizen concerned about the 12 ingots of gold treasure in the end of the value of the geometric problem, some people on the network said that it is estimated to be about 700,000 yuan, how to calculate this price, naturally have to figure out the weight of 12 ingots of gold.
To be clear, the ingot is just a quantifier, and 1 ingot is equivalent to a piece of gold, and there is no very definite weight. However, from the historical data and existing objects, the weight of 1 gold yuan treasure varies from one or two, two two, ten two, twenty-two, twenty-five two, and even fifty two or one hundred two.
Of course, gold does not necessarily have to be made into the shape of a yuan treasure, taking the gold cake excavated from the tomb of Hou Han of Haixia as an example, there have been different weights of 50 grams and about 250 grams.
For example, in the Qin and Western Han Dynasties, one pound was equivalent to 258.24 grams, and one or two was equal to 16.14 grams; Wang Mang and the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin, one pound was equivalent to 222.73 grams, one or two was equal to 13.92 grams; one pound was equivalent to 222.73 grams, one or two was equal to 13.92 grams; one pound was equivalent to 222.73 grams, one or two was equal to 13.92 grams; from the Tang to Qing Dynasties, one pound was equal to 596.82 grams, and one or two was equal to 37.30 grams.
If the valuation of 700,000 yuan is reversed according to the news report, the current gold price is about 500 yuan, which is about 1400 grams, which is roughly equal to a piece of 116.7 grams, according to the Qing Dynasty one or two 37.30 grams of standard calculation, it can be calculated that a piece is about 3.1 two, if calculated according to today's one or two 50 grams, it is 2.3 two, but from the weight point of view, it is basically consistent with ancient objects.
However, there are several historical problems that cannot be avoided. In the later period of the Liberation War, the Nationalist government implemented the currency reform, replacing legal tender with gold yuan coupons, and forcing gold, silver and foreign currency exchange into gold yuan coupons. From August 19, 1948, with gold yuan coupons as the standard currency, the total limit of issuance was 2 billion yuan, and the legal tender was 300 yuan to convert alloy round coupons for 1 yuan, and all gold, silver, silver coins and foreign currency coupons were exchanged within a limited period of time.
At that time, the National Government claimed that there were special instruments to detect the gold and silver hidden in the walls or underground of the houses, and those who did not exchange them would be punished with felonies, and for a time many citizens crowded in front of the central bank to rush to exchange gold coupons.
If the ancestors of this Chongqing uncle had foresight and quietly hid a large amount of gold to escape the compulsory gold exchange cycle of the National Government, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people's government also collected a large amount of gold and silver from the people through unified finance and finance, can this grandfather's ancestors still be lucky again?
Of course, it is not that such a possibility does not exist, but it does have a great element of luck to always keep the gold ingot in your hand to this day.
So, the question is, is the Chongqing Jinyuanbao building verified by the media really true or false? According to my personal analysis, this move is likely to be a self-hype by real estate developers, and the nameless and nameless Uncle Chongqing is just acting as an "extra".
Why? Two factors, the first is the "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Gold and Silver" mentioned above, although article 6 of these Regulations "the state protects individuals from holding legally obtained gold and silver", article 7 clearly stipulates that "in the territory of the People's Republic of China, all units and individuals shall not use gold and silver for value, and it is forbidden to buy and sell privately and to mortgage gold and silver by loan." "This housing enterprise in Chongqing took the initiative to find a third-party testing and exchange agency, which is obviously suspected of violating the law."
Second, from the later stage of the Chongqing housing enterprise to issue the "customer gold house purchase event announcement", there is no doubt that 100% of the low-level self-speculation of this housing enterprise, the refraction behind it is nothing more than "marketing routine".
Some people say that if it is false, why this "gold to buy a house" news will rush to the hot search, which is naturally related to the current stage of gold prices have continued to be strong, compared with the previous people's attention to the exchange of gold by the big mother pawn shop, the netizens who see the money eye are naturally a wave of hot discussion.
