This happens because there are some spies from his competitors who disguised as his employees. It has given the negative impact of his factory because they stole his best recipe of chocolates to produce his precious chocolates in their own factory. After that incident, he makes a new competition, The Golden Ticket given to five lucky children for the journey to his factory. Unfortunately, he thinks that the process of the competition is the best way to reduce his anxiety for a while.
