By offering a purchase discount the firms got around this issue. This was designed to keep make sure the companies were not charging a predatory price. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. The Japanese government set up a five-company rule this meant that a Japanese firm could only sell to five other stores. This does not mean the firms were ever charging below the check price. With all of this money they were making they could have used it as an investment to predatory price in the US.

The Japanese firms were collusively setting a price in Japan and making a ton of money.
