As the date of the Paris Peace Conference gradually approached, the attendance numbers of the Century Exposition didn't decrease. Instead, they steadily climbed.
In just the first three days after opening, the total attendance had already exceeded 180,000, which meant about 60,000 people were visiting the Century Exposition daily.
This kind of data not only shocked all of Paris, but also made Jerome Bonaparte, who initially didn't expect the Century Exposition to be profitable, feel the possibility of making a profit.
Seeing such impressive figures, the Paris City Hall began to feel slightly dissatisfied with the ticket prices, considering the price of 2 francs per ticket to be a bit too low.
With 180,000 visits, after deducting maintenance costs, the total profit was only about 300,000 francs.
The entire investment in the exhibition was 10 million francs, so it would take a long time to truly make a profit.
