Conan: The winner is justice

Now that we know the current progress of plagiarized novels and the profits gained from them, Gu Meimen believes that there is no need to wait any longer.

According to Xiao Ai's information, Daisuke Tokura is not only a novelist, but also a capitalist.

"Daisuke Tokura wrote several very popular novels when he was young, mainly horror and suspense, mostly with vampire themes. However, after middle age, his main focus was no longer simply writing novels, but I began to transform, founded several companies, bought shares in several publishing houses, and began to produce and sell my own products."

"That's fine."

Gu Meimen is very satisfied.

The other party is very rich and will definitely be able to pay him if he loses the lawsuit.

The nights are long and the dreams are many, but I cannot let go of this piece of fat.

So Gu Meimen immediately called Kimura and asked him to meet at the office.

However, as the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes.

"What? You said you have found a new attorney?"

Gu Meimen frowned slightly.

"Mr. Kimura, this is different from what was promised at the beginning. Didn't you say that you would entrust me with the lawsuit?"

"Sorry, Lawyer Gu Meimen, we really can't wait any longer."

Kimura's apologetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

"That's it..."

Gu Meimen narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Mr. Kimura, you should understand that I will definitely help you win the lawsuit. You don't need to entrust anyone else."

"I knew something was wrong with me, but after that, when I applied for legal aid with the mentality of giving it a try, Fei Yingli Law Firm was the one who took over the lawsuit."

"Oh, it turns out to be Fei Yingli's office."

After hearing what the other party said, Gu Meimen nodded and said no more.

"Well, good luck to you."

Gu Meimen hung up the phone.

"Haha, are you yellow?"

Xiao Ai was gloating at the sidelines.

"You were so greedy back then. If you didn't sign a contract with that person immediately, you would have to wait for the plagiarists to copy too many books. Now that person has found a new lawyer and won't defend you anymore, I wonder where you will go to make money. "

Gu Meimen shook his head: "I can only say that things are unpredictable."

"The greedy devil makes you greedy."

Xiao Ai hurt him mercilessly for a while.

However, after saying this, a look of worry appeared on the girl's face soon after.

"What are you going to do now?" Xiao Ai asked, "This lawsuit is over, and the mortgage loan department is pressing hard. Do you want to take on some smaller orders for the time being?"

Gu Meimen glanced at her: "Why are you accepting this small order? Who said the lawsuit is over?"

"ah?"

Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, she seemed to have thought of something.

She looked at Gu Meimen with a strange expression.

"you mean……"

"We can't accept the commission here, we can go to the other side."

The corners of Gu Meimen's mouth curled up slightly.

As he spoke, he opened his laptop.

After entering the mailbox, I typed a lot of words and sent an email.

After finishing, Gu Meimen breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands behind his head and leaned on the boss's chair.

"Now just wait patiently for the other party's reply."

"..."

Xiao Ai on the side said nothing and stared at Gu Meimen intently.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"No, didn't you just say that plagiarists deserve to be shameless?"

Xiao Ai twitched the corner of her mouth and glanced at the address and name of the mailbox.

Displayed above is the business email of Daisuke Tokura, the plagiarist whom Kimura wants to sue.

"Now you mean to file a lawsuit against the other party?"

"Why, can't it?" Gu Meimen raised his eyebrows, "Now someone wants to sue him, isn't that right? I can recommend myself."

Xiao Ai was speechless: "Can you have some moral integrity as a person?"

"What's wrong with you? Can this food be eaten?"

"Then you can't just switch sides all of a sudden! This person is a plagiarist! Have you forgotten what you just said?"

"What did I say?"

"Copycats are shameless. They deserve to be plagiarized in Japan..."

"What kind of plagiarism? No lawsuit has been filed and no legal judgment has been made. How can you conclude that the other party has plagiarized?"

"Hello!"

Xiao Ai was completely speechless now.

There is simply no one like Gu Meimen.

With such a thick skin, eating your own words is as easy as drinking water.

"All I can say is that this lawsuit is not as simple as it seems."

Gu Meimen said this with profound meaning.

"Really?" Xiao Ai raised his brows slightly, as if he remembered something, "You mean, maybe Kimura planned all this?"

She couldn't help but think of the Rice Flower Wolf case that Gu Meimen had fought in the past.

That case was most likely planned by the client in order to get a compensation to open a Western-style dessert shop.

"But this logic doesn't make sense." Xiao Ai frowned, "This lawsuit involves plagiarism in novels. How could he predict in advance that the other party would plagiarize his own book? How could he judge that his own book was plagiarized? Will it definitely be popular?”

The novel industry seems to be quite profitable despite looking at it.

In fact, when it comes to artistic creation, it all depends on luck.

Even if you are a top-selling author, you cannot be sure that if your book becomes popular, your next book will follow suit.

This is true for anime, movies, novels, games, etc.

"No, no, no, you didn't understand something."

Gu Meimen raised a finger and shook it gently.

"Talent is certainly important in literary creation, but whether it can be popular depends most on operations."

“Some people write rubbish, but if they run the business well, they buy data, review comments, list lists, or have the celebrity halo effect of a well-known author. Naturally, people will follow suit and a circle will be formed when there are more readers. , gradually evolved into a herd effect, and by this time it no longer matters whether the writing is good or not.”

"Readers will gather together for various purposes and generate various topics around the book."

"When there is a topic, it becomes popular. The main purpose of the circle is no longer the book itself, but the author of the book, other readers of the book, the daily life of the people around you, etc. Anything can be used."

"This era is no longer an era where the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys."

"Well……"

Xiao Ai blinked and tried to digest this sentence.

This passage from Gu Meimen is also within the category of liberal arts, involving market economy and operations.

"Okay, that is to say, is there really something fishy here?"

"This is just a guess on my part."

Gu Meimen said and shrugged.

"However, it doesn't matter to me what this matter is like or whether it's fishy or not."

Xiao Aixu stared: "For you, making money is the most important thing, right?"

Gu Meimen snapped her fingers: "Those who know me are sad."

"I know your size." Xiao Ai rolled her eyes, "After all that, you're still a money-hungry person?"
