Chapter 18 Gumeimen Law Firm and the Second Lawsuit
On the way back, Gumemen witnessed two robberies and one theft, both of which were active offenders.
Another time, the prisoner was dizzy and really went to rob the bank, but he was directly subdued by the security system inside.
In an ongoing crime like this, Gumeimen has to encounter it several times every day when he travels.
And the prisoners, without exception, have a negative favorability.
I can't help but congratulate myself on being very witty, and this experience has come up.
All the way back to the rental house without any danger.
In the evening, after dinner, Gu Meimen took out a piece of white paper and wrote and drew on it.
He's arranging his life plan for the future.
One and a half million to eat, drink and be merry, which is the only thing that only a fool with a donkey kicking in the head does.
What should a lawyer do first after his debut with a little spare money?
Of course, I opened my own law firm.
A lawyer who has just debuted, at most, is the kind of casual lawyer who needs to run out every day to pull clients and business, but most people will ignore you when they see that you don't even have an office location and no reputation, and the final result is that they can only accept the public assignment entrusted by the lawyer's association.
The income from the public commission is pitiful, it is completely charity, and the client is also troublesome, just like when he first met Sakaguchi Masayoshi before, in Gumeimon's opinion, this kind of commission is the garbage in the trash can.
Or a lawyer can go to work under someone else's law firm.
But with Gu Meimen's character, unless he meets a wise person who takes a fancy to his talent, he is afraid that he will quarrel with the boss on the first day of work, and then he will be directly thrown into the cold palace and will not be entrusted to you.
Therefore, opening his own law firm is the first thing that Gumeimen needs to do.
The next day, Gumeimen went out early and visited various housing agents.
Finally, in a shopping street in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, I found a nice office in an office building.
Half a year to rent, about 30 square meters, desks and chairs, sofas and bookcases, the key is that the monthly rent is only 100,000 yen.
Shibuya Ward, one of Tokyo's largest districts, is one of the largest districts in Tokyo, and is one of the most popular and thriving commercial activities, including department stores, fashion specialty stores, restaurants, amusement facilities, and custom facilities, and is one of the "24-hour sleepless streets" along with Shinjuku.
Why is rent so cheap?
Of course, it's because of the death.
I heard that the predecessor of the office was also a lawyer, and he had a little argument with the client, and the client was covered in the toilet.
It's miserable.
After renting an office, it is time to bring the documents and materials to register a law firm.
There is no such thing as an industrial and commercial bureau in Japan, so if you want to register a company, you have to go to the corresponding legal affairs bureau to determine the legal representative, make a company seal, and establish the company name.
The name of the firm, of course, is called Gumeimen Law Firm.
It took Gu Meimen about ten days to do all these things.
Finally, I need to hire an assistant.
A lawyer is a clerical worker, and it is impossible to do without an assistant, and he has to deal with a lot of documents and a lot of written materials.
It's just that with Gumeimen's current financial resources, it can't reach the point of recruiting employees.
Just renting a house and registering a company has already cost more than half of the 1.5 million.
This matter can only be put on hold for the time being.
After the company's business, the next step is to consider the problem of customer sources.
It is more difficult on the client side, there are many law firms in Tokyo, the competitiveness is huge, and the famous and unfamous are all together, unless they have a certain connection, otherwise they can only honestly accept the commission of the public to accumulate fame.
At the end of the week, a few customers came to the door, but they were all trivial civil lawsuits, and the commission fees that could be collected were more rubbish than the public commissions.
Gu Meimen's only connection at present is only the client of the first lawsuit, Masayoshi Sakaguchi.
"I can't help it."
Gu Meimen took out his mobile phone and called Sakaguchi.
Although it is a one-time client, Sakaguchi is a lawyer anyway, and he may have some good commissions accumulated over there.
"Dulu~"
After a retro ringtone, the phone went through, and Sakaguchi's voice was heard.
"Hey, who is it?"
"I'm Gu Meimen, I want to talk to you about something."
"It turned out to be lawyer Gu Meimen, is there anything wrong?"
"That's ......"
Gu Meimen briefly spoke to him on the phone.
"Don't worry, if there is a commission, I will take a certain amount of the commission fee to you, as the intermediary fee you introduced."
"I see."
Sakaguchi's side probably understood the meaning of Gumeimon's coming.
After a pause, he spoke.
"Lawyer Gu Meimen is polite, I do have some remaining entrustment here, but they are basically juveniles handling cases, are you sure you can do it?"
"Then forget it."
Gu Meimen shook his head and was about to hang up the phone.
Teenagers dealing with cases is not his thing, in the concept of Gumeimen, Japanese primary and secondary school students are the most troublesome, they are simple-minded, shallow in concept, their minds are thinking about love all day long, and when they see the opposite sex, they become asses in estrus, in short, teenagers are a group of stupid people.
If you really give them a lawsuit, maybe you will become a pig teammate, run to the opposite side, and finally hit nines.
"Lawyer Gu Meimen, you wait first."
Just as Furumon was about to hang up the phone, Sakaguchi suddenly stopped him.
"Although I have juvenile cases here, an old friend did ask me to fight a lawsuit against him a while ago, although I refused."
"Oh? What lawsuit? ”
"Let's meet and talk about this in detail."
"Okay, make an appointment?"
"Hmm, Rice Flower Town 5-chome, how about Polo Cafe?"
Gu Meimen frowned slightly, the name seemed a little familiar.
However, in order to get the job as soon as possible, he didn't think too much about it and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Meimen prepared for a while, and left immediately.
After a short ride by train, I came to Yonka-cho again.
After the last lawsuit, I have been here dozens of times, and Gu Meimen is also an old rice flower, and I easily found my destination by asking for directions a little.
It is a three-storey building.
The signboard outside the door has the words Polo Cafe written on the first floor, and the second floor ......
Gu Meimen wiped his eyes.
"! Maori detective agency?! ”
Gu Meimen, who almost never says dirty words, finally couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth at this time.
Let's just say that the name of the café sounds familiar, but it turns out that it is under the Maori Detective Agency!
"It's you!"
A girl's surprised voice came to her ears.
Gu Meimen turned his head expressionlessly.
I saw a girl wearing a JK uniform with an unknown bulge on her head covering her mouth and looking at her in surprise.
Mori Ran, the only daughter of Mori Kogoro, they had met on the subway before.
