Not shown in the slides: the goose needs to ingest 2.5kg gold for each 1kg golden egg it lays.
The eggs have a thin gold coating but the center is lead (they're much smaller than real goose eggs when shown to-scale, which they never are in the marketing material).
The goose is still going to be quite valuable if everything goes according to plan: early private investments make it seem like a great idea; once regular people and retirement funds are drawn in and they start paying to feed the goose, the early investors will take as many eggs as they can get and get out, leaving later investors holding the goose.

Baking egg shells, as one does. For most of my life I added these to holes dug for tomatoes (because Mom), but I've since learned that that has no effect at all because the calcium carbonate doesn't really dissociate in real time unless you dose it with acids. Same reason I've stopped adding them to the compost. I'm going to grind them up and offer to local birds (I don't have chickens anymore). #CalciumCarbonate #eggs #eggshells #birds #calcium #calcite #chemistry #compost #tomatoes
