Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

Lu Ren fell into silence for a while.

Bei Dao's idea is not wrong, and it can even be said that he is on the right path. All major news apps or web pages in previous lives did this.

“If you just do this, the upfront investment will be huge.”

"It's okay. I already have some savings, and I usually don't have much use for money."

"About how many?"

"About 100 million."

"..."

After thinking about the numbers in his bankbook, Lu Ren realized for the first time that he was so poor.

How much money does the editor of Dongbao make?

Then his asking price of RMB 50,000 per manuscript is a bit too low?

Even if there is one article a day, it will only amount to 1.5 million a month, and less than 20 million a year. In Lu Ren's impression, Bei Dao had not been working at Dongbao for a long time, right?

"Is this more than 100 million earned from being an editor?"

"Only a small part of it. Some of it was earned through investment, and some of it was given by my family in the past. It's just that they didn't agree with me being a reporter, so they gradually stopped contacting me."

So, that's fine. But I still have to discuss it with Sato Kiyoshi after I go back. Increase the price of each article.

Of course, these are small things.

"You can buy news reporting rights and creator incentives. You have to think carefully about buying physical books."

It’s too expensive to buy the copyright but make it available for free reading. You can pay to read it, so it becomes a novel website.

What they want to build is a comprehensive news website. Although many comprehensive news websites or apps can also read novels. But after all, this is not the main purpose for users to use them.

There is no need to invest too much in this area. Of course, it is necessary to have it.

"We can find some world classics whose copyrights have expired, and anyone can use them."

Copyright generally only lasts fifty years after the creator's death, after which time it becomes jointly owned.

"Of course, some works that were once relatively classic but have now disappeared, such as Ms. Saikawa Murako's, can also be considered. You buy these books, and I will be responsible for writing the manuscripts and using the Dongbao channel to make them available again. Turn red."

"You don't have to do this yourself. I think the Labyrinth Publishing House where editor Tono is working is a good partner. Their boss and employees work together and can still manage poorly. There must be a lot of inclusions. These are books that don’t sell.”

Moreover, the president of the publishing house is indeed a good character and a trustworthy partner.

Even if he is not trustworthy, it is easy to deal with him...

"Well, okay."

"Since we want to achieve this step, we have to formalize it and we can't be like before. My relationship with the lawyer is not bad. I can ask her to help when the time comes."

"Let's set up a company, clearly divide the equity and responsibilities, and then sign the contract. Finish this matter as soon as possible. When I come back from the uninhabited island, we will finish it."

"Well, okay."

Bei Dao is not opposed to signing a contract. She believes in Lu Ren, but many times if you want to succeed, just believing is not enough.

What is more needed is a formal process and standardized operations.

Rather, signing the contract made her truly feel how serious Lu Ren was about this matter.

"Brother Ren, we will definitely succeed."

"Ah."

There is one more goal to work towards.

Not to mention that failure would disappoint Bei Dao's expectations and squander all the savings she had saved up to now, which was still unacceptable.

"Hey, we're in Tokyo Bay. I saw them."

Familiar sharp corners and familiar charcoal face.

"Brother Ren, I'll park the car first."

"OK."

……

After parking the car, Bei Dao did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and pressed the callback button.

The call was quickly connected, and Bei Dao's voice was a little low, "I'm sorry, Xiao Ai."

"What's wrong with Sister Xiao? What happened to Brother Ren?" The voice over there was a little more nervous than expected.

"That's not..."

Bei Dao told Haiyuan what happened. Said that Lu Ren is now going to film a program on an uninhabited island.

"I saw that he wanted to go, so I offered to go with him. Then I came to drive. I originally wanted him to rest for a while on the way there. But..."

"result?"

"We were chatting about work, and we were a little too immersed in the conversation." Speaking of this, Bei Dao felt a little embarrassed, "When we came to our senses again, we were already in Tokyo Bay."

"..."

Chapter 460 Something’s wrong with you

Walking to the pier, after briefly greeting a few other people, Lu Ren's mind was still on the future of the website.

Compared with the investment of more than 100 million, what will happen next seems inconsequential and even a waste of time.

Lu Ren clicked Hattori, "How many days will this show be filmed?"

"Let me ask."

As he spoke, Hattori walked over to a middle-aged man wearing a green coat. After some negotiation, he came back.

"The director said that the filming will be completed tomorrow. By the way, why don't you see the person you brought? Who is it? You are still telling me on the phone."

"She parked the car. You've seen her too, Dongbao editor Kitajima Xiao."

"So it's that one." Hattori was stunned for a moment and nodded slowly. Unfortunately, he thought it was either Haibara or Shiina Hana.

I actually forgot about Beidao.

"But I remember that young lady is very busy at work, right?"

When he was in Osaka, Kitajima's work ethic left a deep impression on Hattori.

"Why did she come here with you?"

"I don't know either. She will be here soon. You can ask yourself."

"Forget it then." Hattori stopped being curious for a moment.

He discovered a long time ago that the young lady was sincere and sincere towards them, and she seemed to be repelling them thousands of miles away.

Hattori didn't want to ask for trouble.

After a while, Bei Dao came over from a distance.

"Is everyone here now? Let's leave as soon as we are here." The director in a green coat urged.

"Yes. That's it." Hattori nodded, and then asked, "Can so many of us live on that uninhabited island?"

"No. There is only one cabin on the island and the rooms are limited, so you can only go there by yourself. But we have booked a room at the hotel next door."

The director pointed to the location and handed over a hotel business card. "You can check in directly after you go there."

"Can there be another room on the island? I'm also going to go there." Lu Ren asked at this time.

If that didn't work, he would have to use other means.

Anyway, we must go to the island.

The director looked at Hattori with some confusion, "Who is he?"

"His name is Lu Ren, and he is a reporter from Dongbao. This is his business card." Bei Dao took out a business card from his bag and handed it to the director.

"Huh? Oh." The director was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took the business card.

As usual, he should take out his business card now and make an exchange.

only……

"I'm really sorry. I came out in a hurry today and didn't bring my business card. My name is Hiroo Tsuchio, and I'm the director of Nippon TV."

"Okay, let me change the question. Is he qualified to participate in your show?"

Kitajima is a little over 1.7 meters tall, and Hiroo Tsuchio is only 1.65 meters tall, and is a bit hunchbacked.

When the two of them stood together, there was an obvious height difference. In addition, Bei Dao's aura at this time was very oppressive.

Faced with the gaze of such a professional elite, Hiroo Tsuchio felt a faint sweat on his forehead and murmured: "This..."

"You just have to tell me if you can or if you can't."

"Okay, okay, if it's too much, it's okay to free up another room." Tsutsuo Hiroso wanted to be more assertive, but his timidity leaked out as soon as he opened his mouth, and he could only keep smiling.

"Okay, give us a few more minutes, we still have some things to deal with."

"It's okay, don't worry."

After walking a little further, Bei Dao whispered: "Brother Ren, do you want to call the police?"

Hattori was very surprised: "Call the police? Why?"

"That person is not the director of Ripai TV at all, and this plan is probably fake."

"Sister Bei Dao, how did you see this? Isn't that uncle wearing the clothes of a Japanese TV station staff?" Conan asked aloud.

Just now, Conan also suspected that there was something wrong with the director's identity.

Because his employee uniform was a replica, and it left a big flaw. Conan guessed that Bei Dao had also noticed this.

"There is something wrong with his performance. As a member of Rimai TV, he actually knows nothing about Brother Ren. It is impossible for someone like him to become the director of Rimai TV." Bei Dao is very sure of this.

Ah...this.

Lu Ren knew that the plan was fake and the director was also fake. He just didn't expect that he would reveal his flaws for such a reason and be exposed as a scam.

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

Hattori, a native of Osaka, does not agree with Kitajima’s remarks. He Ye nodded equally.

Faced with doubts, Kitajima took out his mobile phone and said, "I can immediately contact the director of Nippon TV and ask him to check if they have a project called Detective Koshien and if there is a person named Tsuchio Hiroshi." A living director.”

Mao Lilan added: "Sister Xiao is right. Brother Ren is very famous in Japanese TV stations, and most employees know him."

Mao Li nodded. As a frequent visitor to Japanese television, he was very aware of Lu Ren's influence on that place.

Even he, Lu Ren's nominal detective teacher, is highly respected.

Mori felt a little strange at first, because he had never heard of the director's name, and Tsuchio Hiroshi didn't even know him.

At that time, Maori could still find reasons to convince himself that his popularity and influence were not enough. But even Lu Ren doesn't know him, so this really shouldn't be the case.

"I remembered!" Conan suddenly realized, "There are some differences between the clothes that uncle was wearing and the Japanese TV station employee uniforms. On the real employee uniforms, the whirlpool logo on the clothes rotates counterclockwise. The vortex is clockwise.”

Maori: "Let's make a phone call to confirm, and then call the police directly."

"No, no need to call the police, just pretend you don't know."

Lu Ren spoke up to stop him, which would call the police, and the ensuing drama would not be completely over.

Missing this episode will destroy the stage that has been set up, and it will only be more troublesome to enlighten Nanatsuki Koshimizu in the future.

Lu Ren didn't feel that he had so much energy and time to waste on her.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Pretend not to know, continue with them, and see what medicine they are selling. I think readers will be very interested in this kind of drama of pretending to be a director and gathering famous high school detectives from all over the country. "

Lu Ren made a statement that was consistent with his status as a reporter.

"Is this too dangerous?" Xiaolan was a little worried.

"Dangerous?" Lu Ren smiled, "Don't worry, I will try to be more restrained."
