Conan's Victory is Justice

Chapter 164 No pick up here, we can go to the opposite side
Now that she already knows the current progress of the plagiarized novel and the profit it has earned, Gu Meimen thinks that there is no need to wait any longer.

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

"Daisuke Torakura wrote several very popular novels when he was young, mainly horror and suspense, and mostly vampire themes. However, after middle age, his backbone is no longer simply writing novels, but began to transform, founded several companies, bought shares in several publishing houses, and began to produce and sell on his own."

"That's fine."

Gu Meimen was very satisfied.

The other party is very rich, and will definitely be able to afford the money after losing the lawsuit.

Long nights and many dreams, you can't let go of this piece of fat.

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

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

"What? You said you've found a new attorney?"

Gu Meimen frowned slightly.

"Mr. Kimura, this is different from what you said at the beginning. Didn't you say that you would entrust me to carry out the lawsuit?"

"I'm sorry, lawyer Gu Meimen, we really can't wait here."

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

"Is that so..."

Gu Meimen narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Mr. Kimura, you should understand that I will definitely help you win the lawsuit, and you don't need to entrust other people."

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

"Oh, so it's Fei Yingli's office."

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

"Well then, good luck."

Gu Meimen hung up the phone.

"Haha, is it yellow?"

Xiao Ai gloated at the side.

"I told you that you were so greedy back then. If you didn't sign a contract with that person right away, you would have to wait for some plagiarists to copy too many books. Now that person has found a new lawyer and won't seek your defense. I'll see where you can make money."

Gu Meimen shook her head: "It can only be said that the world is unpredictable."

"Greedy ghost, tell you to be greedy."

Xiao Ai hurt him mercilessly for a while.

However, after saying this, not long after, a trace of worry appeared on the girl's face.

"What do you do now?" Xiao Ai asked, "This lawsuit is over, and the mortgage side is pressing hard. Do you want to take some smaller orders temporarily?"

Gu Meimen glanced at her: "What's the small order, who said the lawsuit is gone?"

"what?"

Xiao Ai froze for a moment, and after a while, seemed to think of something.

She looked at Gu Meimen with a weird look on her face.

"what do you mean……"

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

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

While speaking, he turned on his laptop.

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

After finishing, Gu Meimen breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned back on the boss chair with her hands behind her head.

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

"..."

Xiao Ai on the side didn't speak, but stared at Gu Meimen intently.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"No, didn't you just say that plagiarists deserve shamelessness?"

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

What is shown above is the business email address of Daisuke Torakura, the plagiarist that Kimura wants to sue.

"Now you mean, you want to sue the other party?"

"Why, can't it?" Gu Meimen raised her eyebrows, "Isn't it good that someone wants to sue him now? I can recommend myself."

Xiao Ai was speechless: "Can you be a little moral?"

"What is unethical, can this thing be eaten?"

"Then you can't turn over to the opposite side all at once! This person is a plagiarist! Have you forgotten what you just said?"

"What did I say?"

"Plagiarists are shameless, they deserve plagiarism in Japan..."

"What kind of plagiarism, there is no lawsuit, no legal judgment, how can you conclude that the other party plagiarized?"

"Hey!"

Xiao Ai was completely speechless now.

Gu Meimen is like no one else.

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

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

Gu Meimen said something meaningful.

"Really?" Xiao Ai frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, "You mean, all this may have been planned by Kimura?"

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

That case was most likely planned by the client in order to obtain a sum of compensation for opening a western-style dessert shop.

"But the logic doesn't make sense this time." Xiao Ai frowned. "This lawsuit involves plagiarism of novels. How could he have predicted that the other party would certainly plagiarize his book? And how could he judge that copying his book would definitely become popular?"

The novel industry, don't look at it as if it's quite profitable.

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

Even if you are a top best-selling author, you can't be sure that if your book becomes popular, the next book will follow suit.

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

"No, no, you didn't understand one thing."

Gu Meimen raised a finger and shook it lightly.

"In literary creation, talent is of course very important, but whether it can be popular or not depends mainly on operation."

"Some people write rubbish, but they operate well. Buying data, reviewing reviews, reviewing lists, or the celebrity halo effect of well-known writers, naturally some people will follow suit. If there are more readers, a circle will be formed, and it will gradually evolve into a herd effect. By this time, whether the writing is good or not is no longer important."

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

"Where there is a topic, there will be enthusiasm. 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, etc. Anything is fine."

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

"Uh……"

Xiao Ai blinked, trying hard to digest this passage.

Gu Meimen's passage is also in the category of liberal arts, involving market economy and operations.

"Well, that is to say, is there really something tricky in it?"

"This is just a guess on my part."

Gu Meimen said, shrugging.

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

Xiao Ai focused her eyes: "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, "Speaking so much, aren't you desperate for money?"
