recently, it was reported online that lairui jinyu (jewelry) collapsed and its 8 stores in fuzhou were suddenly closed. previously, lairui jinyu store attracted many investors with the promise of "high interest rates for gold custody".the investment amount collected by a single store may exceed 10 million yuan

according to media reports, some investors said:they have never received or seen the physical gold they purchased.

some investors have invested several million yuan.

according to the strait metropolis daily, on the afternoon of september 9, the door of lairui jinyu (wangzhuang store) was closed, and many citizens, including the elderly, stood anxiously at the door. during the interview, the reporter learned that the investment amount of each person was different, ranging from tens of thousands of yuan to millions of yuan.

"total investment is 3 million yuan." aunt chen said that in august 2023, she went to lairui jinyu (jewelry) dongda store to buy gold. at that time, the clerk introduced that after buying gold at the gold price of the day, it can be entrusted, and the store will pay interest in cash every month, the interest rate is about 14%, and after the maturity, an additional 6 grams of gold can be given for every 100 grams of gold. faced with the temptation of high interest rates, aunt chen and her husband continued to make additional investments.

compared with aunt chen, ms. zhao started investing earlier and has received income for more than three years. "if i buy 100,000 yuan of gold, i will receive about 1,800 yuan in interest every month.if it hadn’t happened this month, i might have continued to invest next year.”。

in addition to ordinary consumers,the staff of the store also said that the company promised that the return on "gold custody" was about 14%, which was very tempting, and he also invested more than 1 million yuan."now i can't contact my superiors either."

the reporter found that lairui jinyu (jewelry) has 8 stores in fuzhou, including wangzhuang store, hudong store, dongda store, xihu store, xiannan department store store, jinshan store, rongqiao store, and wenquan store.currently closed

the enterprise involved is operating beyond its scope

what kind of company is lairui jinyu (jewelry)? the reporter found out from the qichacha platform that fuzhou lairui jinyu jewelry co., ltd. is wholly owned by fujian lairui jiunuo jewelry co., ltd., and the legal representative is the same person.

the reporter also noticed that the business scope of fuzhou lairui jinyu jewelry co., ltd. and fujian lairui jiunuo jewelry co., ltd. only includes jewelry retail, jewelry wholesale, jewelry recycling and repair services, etc.does not include gold custody

does the company's behavior involve exceeding the scope of business? an industry insider said that gold custody and other activities fall into the category of financial investment and financial management, which is a franchise activity and must be operated with a license. if you only obtain a business license but do not obtain approval from the national financial regulatory authorities, you cannot engage in financial-related business.

the reporter learned thatat present, the case has been investigated by the public security organs.the fuzhou local financial supervision and administration bureau will also follow up on the progress of the incident.

set a new historical high!

gold prices have risen again

international gold prices hit a new high.

wind data showed that at around 11:25 on september 13, the gold futures price on the new york mercantile exchange closed at $2,594.5 per ounce, up 0.54%.this is a record high. this is about 26% higher than the $2,053 per ounce at the beginning of this year.

driven by the rise in gold prices, silver prices also rose. at around 11:25 on september 13, the price of silver on the new york mercantile exchange broke through $30/ounce, reaching $30.305/ounce, an increase of 0.66%.

the rise in futures prices of gold, silver and other commodities is mainly due to the rising expectations of the federal reserve's interest rate cut and the european central bank's interest rate cut to reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold. in addition, concerns about the geopolitical situation continue to provide safe-haven support for gold prices.

in terms of jewelry gold prices, after a phased adjustment in august, it has now returned to above 750 yuan per gram.

data from the shanghai gold jewelry industry association showed that on september 13, the price of pure gold was 755 yuan/gram at lao feng xiang, 755 yuan/gram at lao miao, 755 yuan/gram at china gold, and 758 yuan/gram at chow tai fook.
