‘You must wait, please’, that is the sentence I don’t like to hear. Waiting is boring, and I have to wait until I got my queuing number called. The shopkeeper told me that there is a big amount of gold on demand today.
From the beginning, I told my boss that I don’t really understand what I must do. But she insisted me on buying the gold coins at the nearest money exchanger. As a humble co-assistant in her company, I completely don’t know anything about gold.
Sitting comfortably on the velvet sofa near the counter, I learn that most of the people in this place want to buy gold coin. Very few of them come here to exchange money as the purpose of this place business. An elegant looking man is sitting on a chair near me and talking to a clerk. The counter where the man is sitting is apparently for a special business or something because I heard that the man wanted to buy gold bullion.
Now I wonder; what is gold bullion? I don’t really get familiar with the word bullion; perhaps it is a kind of something bigger value than just gold or gold coins. Wow! When do I think I will have a chance to buy bullion? That must be a wealthy person to have this kind of valuable thing. Or perhaps, this is the era when gold is function as barter media replacing the form of money? Is the use of gold now not as a kind of jewelry anymore? Is it safe to purchase gold bullion in places like this? Is it as secure as exchanging money? Wow! World has just opened my eyes. This is called the life in the new millennium, isn’t it? Everything is so modern and valuable, simple but fast? …And, btw, when will my queuing number be called?
