Wuhan dude buys 5 kilos of gold

A Wuhan citizen strolled out of a shopping mall on Saturday with five kilograms of gold, for which he dropped 1.38 million yuan ($224,580).

The unnamed man paid 277.3 yuan ($45) per gram at the gold dealership in the city's Shimao Guangchang shopping center: a transaction of 500 separate invoices.

It took seven employees an hour and a half to handle the necessary invoices.

"We've sold millions of yuan in gold before, but rarely do we do separate invoices for more than 10 pieces at a time," a salesclerk said.
