James Bond: A martini. Shaken, not stirred.
Trivia: Goldfinger's first name is Auric. Au is the chemical symbol for gold on the periodic table of elements.
Question: Why did Goldfinger go through the hassle of telling the other gangsters his plan, only to kill them right after?
Answer: I believe that Goldfinger is a showman / show off and wanted to boast for the pure hell of it. Also I think that he had to string them along so they wouldn't suspect he was about to do what he ultimately did to them.
Answer: Like all Bond villains, he wants someone to appreciate his genius, even if he plans to kill that person immediately after. How many times have villains told Bond their plans, then stuck him in a deathtrap that he manages to escape? These guys got the same treatment except for that part at the end.
Answer: Goldfinger wants to keep the charade going up until the end so the others suspect nothing unusual. It is also a means of exposition to explain the plot to the audience.
