When Diao Changhe announced another upcoming fishing event, there were few players signing up. Most anglers, even if they planned to participate, would wait to see the quality of the fish stock and whether experts like Zhang Yang would join before paying the fee.
In this business model of the black fishpond, once basic trust disappears, the negative effects on reputation are particularly evident. No matter how much Diao Changhe passionately explains, it's less convincing than a glance from Zhang Yang and his team.
After several unsuccessful events, Diao Changhe finally gave in and released another batch of good fish.
Eight hundred pounds of fish was stocked, but only eleven people showed up for the main fishing event, and yet the fish were of excellent quality. With fewer paying participants, the total revenue was low, resulting in significant losses.
