"At the beginning of the new year, I bought gold with the hope of bringing good luck for the whole year. I chose a plain round gold ring to save for the future.
I am still holding the ticket waiting for my turn to make a transaction. Today the store announced that there is no limit on the number of sales, but I only bought 3 taels of gold rings.
Similarly, Mr. Pham Quoc Tung (Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi) is also waiting for his turn to buy gold rings.
