Gold is tacky.

But nobody dislikes gold.

Even if he were financially independent, he would still prefer these tacky, bright yellow things.

Lin Yifeng was wealthy and generous. In late 1993, he spent 830,000 yuan to customize a brass bull.

This is a kind and adorable ox, made entirely of pure gold (999 gold), with its head raised to the sky and its tail held high.

At the bottom of this 17-kilogram golden bull is a platform with some numbers engraved on it.

One is the time when Lin Yifeng and Bai Yejin met.

Another factor is the age at which the two people get engaged.

Lin Yifeng and Bai Yejin are engaged, and Lin Yifeng will give Bai Yejin this golden ox. As long as Bai Yejin holds onto this ox for a long enough time, she is guaranteed to become a multi-millionaire in the future.

In 1993, the average price of one gram of gold was 50 yuan.

By 2025, the average price of one gram of gold will be 1,000 yuan.

The magnitude of this increase is absolutely astounding.

In addition to the golden bull, Lin Yifeng also purchased a bracelet weighing about 1 jin (500 grams), a bracelet weighing about 25 grams, a ring weighing about 15 grams, and a necklace weighing about 20 grams.

These three gold jewelry pieces together weighed about one kilogram. After thinking about it, Lin Yifeng ordered a bracelet weighing two kilograms as well.

During his trip to Shangdu, Lin Yifeng purchased 20 kilograms of gold, spending nearly one million yuan including the labor costs.

A million-dollar engagement gift.

No!

To be precise, it's a million-dollar set of three gold medals!

Even by 2025, these specifications would still be considered quite high.

“20 kilograms of gold, Xiao Jin, if you hold onto this gold, by 2025 it will be worth 20 million RMB.”

"Twenty million in cash is enough for an ordinary person to achieve financial freedom."

Lin Yifeng paid the deposit, instructed the store manager to hurry up, and then left the gold shop with Pang Donglai's employees.

Given Lin Yifeng's current status and position, he has no fear of the gold shop running away with the money.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the government side, if the gold shop runs away with the money, Lin Yifeng could tell the government, and the gold shop owner would probably be in serious trouble.

In addition to gold, Lin Yifeng also bought Bai Yejin a watch, a Tissot watch.

People today may not know what Tissot watches are, or even have heard of the brand.

However, in 1993, Tissot watches were far more popular than Rolex.

Especially among girls, owning a Tissot watch is practically a dream for countless girls.

Tissot watches were founded in 1887, but they became incredibly popular in China in 1992.

In 1992, Zhou Runfa and Wu Qianlian filmed an advertisement for Tissot watches.

This advertisement has no dialogue whatsoever, yet it became incredibly popular in China.

It's no exaggeration to say that the popularity of this advertisement rivals that of Jackie Chan's Little Tyrant learning machine.

The price of a watch is negligible compared to 20 kilograms of gold.

Lin Yifeng chose the same watch featured in the Tissot advertisement. He looked at the words "Forever and Ever" printed on the back of the watch and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao Jin, will you be moved to tears when you see this watch?"

Lin Yifeng suddenly realized that he and Bai Yejin had never created any romance between them.

Their relationship seemed to develop naturally, and they got together without any apparent cause.

On the contrary, Lam Yat-fung managed to create some romance with Veronica Yip.

"We've got the three gold pieces, and one of the three turns and one ring. Now let's buy another turn and a ring, and a bag that's a must-have for girls!"

To be honest, among the items Lin Yifeng bought, just one set of three gold pieces was worth a million.

The other items are optional.

But this was 1993 after all, and the price of the three gold pieces was very expensive. You can't exactly wear them out to show off every day!

Putting aside the possibility of being robbed, wouldn't it be tiring to carry something weighing 20 kilograms?

Moreover, Lin Yifeng is getting engaged to Bai Yejin. When getting engaged, you have to follow the trend and prepare things that are not popular for the woman's family so that they can save face.

A woman can only stand tall and proud in her own village!

Therefore, the currently popular "three turns and one sound" (referring to a watch, a revolving door, a radio, and a speaker) are a must-buy.

Regarding things like betrothal gifts, Lin Yifeng has always maintained a principle of "I'll buy it if I can afford it, and I won't buy it if I can't afford it."

In 1993, the "three turns and one sound" (a set of three round watches, a watch, a radio, and a watch) were popular, but so was "naked marriage" (marrying without a house, a watch, or a radio).

In this day and age, there are quite a few girls who don't want anything and just want to get married.

Lin Yifeng is currently capable, so naturally he won't let Bai Yejin's family lose face.

The "three turns and one sound" of 1993 were a bicycle, a sewing machine, a watch, and a television.

Lin Yifeng bought a Tissot watch.

After thinking about it, Lin Yifeng decided to give Bai Yejin the Phoenix brand 28-inch bicycle he had bought last year.

This bicycle was bought by Lin Yifeng and Bai Yejin together last year. At that time, Lin Yifeng would ride this bicycle with Bai Yejin on the back, and he often took advantage of her.

As for sewing machines...

To be honest, Lin Yifeng didn't plan to let Bai Yejin use the sewing machine; he decided to use a washing machine instead.

Everything spins; a sewing machine can spin, and so can a washing machine!

"The last sound... shall we use a TV and a VCD player!"

"Hmm, let's see if I can get Miss Wei, the rich girl, to sponsor me a VCD player!"

"It would be even better if you could sponsor me a Little Tyrant learning machine as well."
