PAULO GOLD FOUNDER: You have to be interested in the job because some people say it's repetitive.

PAULO GOLD FOUNDER: But it depends on each person and the emotion a gold bar brings them.

PAULO GOLD FOUNDER: If you don't love it, you can do it, but the emotion's missing.

PAULO GOLD FOUNDER: When I look into the furnace, I still feel the same emotion, whether it stems from a previous bar I poured, the first or the latest.

PAULO GOLD FOUNDER: We'll be gone one day but these noble metals, be they gold, palladium or platinum, will be here forever.
