"Sue Daiban Models? World's richest man, are you crazy? What relationship do we have with Daiban Models?" The directors on the board were stunned by Taguchi Mitsuaki's statement. Taguchi Mitsuaki himself was also bewildered, and after a moment, he quickly explained, "No, not Jiangnan Group, but Daiban Models."
"Our partner in China, Ruihuaxing, reported news about Daiban to us. They said that this Daiban was a pirating manufacturer in China. Starting in the 1990s, they pirated and produced our assembly models. Back then, they were called Tongtian Models."
"Later, they changed their name to Gaogao Models, and then launched the Daiban Models brand. Gaogao Models specifically counterfeited and produced our small-scale HG models, while Daiban Models specialized in large-scale..."
The Bird's Nest officials readily agreed to this outcome.
After all, everyone understood human nature perfectly. The primary reason for the terrifying influx of nearly 500,000 people on the first day was the absence of admission fees. Elderly people, using their senior passes, took free buses to the venue to observe.
As soon as admission fees were implemented, it was believed that 90% of tourists would be deterred, bringing the on-site crowd to within 30,000, a number that would be relatively easy to manage.
Daiban was also very satisfied with this. Although the number of visitors decreased, the sales of his models were expected to increase significantly, making him more profitable.
As predicted, the developments on the first day unfolded as expected. After Daiban publicly announced the policy change to charge admission, the number of visitors that day, while not shrinking to within 30,000, was only slightly over 30,000. The order at the venue immediately improved, the visitor experience greatly enhanced, and Daiban's model sales tripled.
Just as everything seemed to be going beautifully, something unimaginable happened.
