The bracelet even had the words "candidate" printed on it. Some people said they were asked to wear it, but Shiguangji denied it.
Taitung's "Glimmer Market" held an event on Halloween. County Mayor Rao Qingling and Kuomintang Taitung County Mayor candidate and speaker Wu Xiuhua happily sang on stage. However, afterward, passers-by and vendors reported that not only were they asked to "cooperate with the heated atmosphere" and remove the "Ocean Current" streamers, but Chen Ying's team and the public also found out that everything from the venue to the event contractor was from Wu Xiuhua's team, which was questioned as an "internal circular economy." In response, "Weiguangji" stated that the problem lies with the marketing company and has requested a review.
Operator: The marketing company has requested a review
During the "Ka K Camera" event held on October 30, vendors were not only required to remove the "Ocean Current" streamers on the grounds that "it should not have political elements," but they were also required to promote the Blue Camp event and put up message cards with Wu Xiuhua's "No. 4" printed on them. Stalls and members of the public previously left messages on Threads, saying they "heard staff asking them to wear luminous bracelets with Wu Xiuhua's name and related slogans on them." It was also reported that the streamers were asked to be removed.
The Shimmer Collection was accused of changing from "no political elements" to "Wu Xiuhua's rally" in an instant. However, the relevant articles were removed afterwards. It is understood that this was due to pressure and they "did not want 'The Shimmer Collection' to be affected." The Taitung County Agricultural Entrepreneurship Association applied to revitalize the site from the county government and is operated by the Taitung County Agricultural Entrepreneurship Association. Fan Yixian, chairman of the association and founder of the Weiguang Ji and a spokesperson for Wu Xiuhua's campaign team, said that this was done by the marketing company that handled the event and has requested a review.
Fan Yixian explained that the distribution of bracelets and placement of cards were all arranged by a marketing company, and Weiguangji immediately removed it after learning about it. She also emphasized that "the reason is the same as banning ocean streamers. We do not allow campaign slogans and political elements to appear on Weiguangji." All people are treated equally.
However, netizens broke the news and pointed out that the marketing company that undertook Wu Xiuhua’s campaign, and Fan who was also the spokesperson for Weiguangji and Wu’s camp, basically “contracted the same team to run the event in his own market”, forming an “internal economic cycle”; some netizens also said that this money handling model is “similar in spirit to Wu Jiadongying Resort.”
Nika, the deputy director of the Taitung County Government Administrative Office who is responsible for managing the Micro-light Fair venue, said that the contract with the Agricultural Entrepreneurship Association only has general stereotypes such as "agreed time for each use" and "not to affect the public." The county government means that whether it is Wu Xiuhua’s campaign held by the Shimmer Festival, or Yangliu or Chen Ying’s campaign, any violation of the regulations will fall under the regulations of the Shimmer Group, not the county government’s regulations.
Fan Yixian emphasized that no one shouted "frozen garlic" at that day's event. It was just a simple Halloween event, and "the stalls were busy doing business. Who is free to help with the election campaign?" Just like the press release issued by Wu's campaign team at the time, there was no obvious indication of the content of the campaign. However, in the face of what netizens and Weiguangji said was "strong marketing by marketing companies," Green Camp supporters believed that the matter should be "reviewed afterwards" after it had already happened. They might as well open it up together and plant the flags of all parties, instead of expressing their support for the target together, "I want to see the "background" of Weiguangji and each venue."
Wu's number was printed on the message board, and some people left messages directly to be elected.
The atmosphere was lively.
