Conan's Victory is Justice

Chapter 156 Barriers to Entry
Summer is still not over.

Outside, the steamer was blowing high and the sun was shining brightly.

The trees were roasted and drooping their heads, the dogs were lying under the shade of the trees sticking out their tongues, and the cicadas were screaming desperately.

In the office.

Gu Meimen and Xiao Ai were lying on a sofa, blowing the wind from the air conditioner, like two dead bodies.

"By the way, are you rich now?"

Xiao Ai turned her head from the sofa stiffly, looking at the opposite sofa with her two dead fish eyes like zombies.

On the opposite side of the sofa, Gu Meimen's face was pale, and her eyes were rolling.

"Shh, don't talk while playing the corpse game."

"Sometimes, I really doubt your real age."

Xiao sighed and sat up from the sofa.

"I think about playing games all day long, and I still play such boring and childish games."

"Haven't you heard a word? A man is a teenager until he dies."

"I've only heard another saying, if a woman wants to find a husband, don't look for a man who is addicted to playing games."

"Oh, you played this childish game very vigorously just now."

"I'm out of my mind, I'm just going crazy with you."

Xiao Ai rolled her eyes.

After a pause, she returned to the topic just now.

"You have so much money now, there should be more than [-] million in your account? Don't you plan to use it?"

"Well, this topic seems to have been mentioned by you before."

Gu Meimen glanced at her.

"Didn't I tell you? I don't do any investment and financial management, or start a company. I just deposit it in the bank and buy a good house when I reach a certain amount."

"Then you complained about other people's structure before." Xiao Ai squinted, "I think your own structure is just that big."

"This is not a question of structure, but this era is not suitable for starting a business."

Gu Meimen said.

"Since we are majoring in liberal arts, let me tell you an economic term called 'industry entry barriers'."

"Industry entry barriers?"

"To put it simply, in every industry, the elderly who have already occupied the market share will have more advantages than the newcomers. If a newcomer wants to enter a new industry, he must first solve these problems that the old people do not need to solve, and only you, a newcomer, need solved problem."

Gu Meimen explained to Xiao Ai.

"For example, I'm a well-known lawyer in the industry now, but do you know the difficulties that newcomers will encounter when I first enter this industry?"

Xiao Ai pondered for a moment, then said: "Without fame, and without old clients entrusting you, you can only accept the entrustment from the Law Society."

Gu Meimen nodded: "That's right, this is the most common barrier to entry in the industry. Don't look at me as if I'm doing it smoothly now, it's the aura of invincibility I created, which eliminated this barrier. If I debut these days Even if I only lose one lawsuit, I will have to change my business strategy after that.”

Gu Meimen's current business strategy was also determined by him from the beginning.

It is to follow the elite line and never accept garbage commissions.

The prerequisite for the implementation of this business strategy is that he must be capable enough, and he must have a sufficient chance of winning the lawsuit.

If you lose a lawsuit, the various halos created before will be invalidated, and the barriers will be re-established.

So far, many customers come because of Gu Meimen's halo, and without the halo, of course, the guests will not come again.

"Understood? I finally broke the barriers of the lawyer profession. If you want me to go to other fields, then I have to break the barriers of those fields. I am full and have nothing to do, so I throw money and energy outside ?”

"alright."

Xiao Ai blinked, looking at Gu Meimen's serious expression.

After listening to it for a long time, I can probably understand it.

"You guys study liberal arts is really complicated, you go around and around." Xiao Ai pouted.

"Of course, do you think that liberal arts is about studying hard or writing good articles?" Gu Meimen said, "The liberal arts are more brainy than the sciences, or those who don't make a lot of money are those who study the liberal arts." Yes? For science majors, the lower limit of job hunting will be lower than that of liberal arts majors, but the upper limit of making money is definitely not as high as liberal arts majors.”

"Really?" Xiao Aixu said, "Looking at what you said is so powerful, why haven't I seen you make a lot of money?"

"Because I don't have the capital to stand up." Gu Meimen said, "In a capitalist country like Japan, the class has been fixed, and the upper limit of civilians is at most the middle class. Here, competing with those old people for capital, the barriers to entry will be much harder than you think. You might as well go to North Korea to try your luck."

"If you say so much, you are a miser, unwilling to spend money, and unwilling to take risks, right? You still have a lot of reasons to talk about."

"What you said, is it not good to be a middle class honestly? Wealth and freedom, eating and drinking is not enough?"

"A stingy man with no ambitions."

"This man with no ambition is still supporting you now."

"How to raise? Raise without wages?"

"Look at you, here we come again."

Being idle is also boring, the two of them just aimlessly, talking nonsense.

In fact, the profession of lawyer can also be a big one.

It mainly depends on the size of the law firm and the number of lawyers working in it.

By the standards of this industry.

Small-scale law firms with less than 10 employees;

10 to 25 people, it is a medium-sized law firm;

25 to 50 people, belonging to large law firms;

With more than 50 people, it can be regarded as a leader in this industry.

When a law firm reaches a certain scale, branch offices can also be established.

According to the Lawyers Law, as long as a law firm has been established for two years and has more than ten lawyers, it meets the conditions for opening a branch office.Of course, there are some other miscellaneous regulations, which are not listed here.

With the current capabilities of Gu Meimen's law firm, although it cannot meet the conditions for opening a branch office, it can still recruit employees and expand the scale of the law firm.

"Recruiting new employees?" Gu Meimen raised her eyebrows, "Recruiting a bunch of trash to come in and eat my basic salary?"

"This is your only chance to stand up, to become a real vampire capitalist." Xiao Ai complained.

In the past, she used to say that Gu Meimen was some sort of vampire capitalist, but he was far from that.

"Well……"

Gu Meimen thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"Lets see."

He added: "Besides, isn't Fei Yingli, the former number one lawyer in Japan, just a small law firm?"

Xiao Ai stared at Gu Meimen carefully for a while.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Speaking of it, you actually don't trust others, do you?"

"You're right, I just don't trust others." Gu Meimen said frankly.

"So you're always telling lies because the act itself is a sign of disbelief."

Xiao Ai looked into Gu Meimen's eyes.

"You pack yourself with lies and form an 'entry barrier' around yourself. If outsiders want to open your barrier, they must pay a certain price. So far no one has been able to completely break your barrier."

Paused.

"Even if I can't do it."
