How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

He had been at the company for a few hours.

Ten law firm partners had also discussed matters, and the top ten law firms in Hua Country decided to handle the merger, each dispatching lawyers to take charge of an entire set of litigation processes...

Pricing was relatively straightforward.

Suing for defamation wasn't too troublesome; in a small city, it might be settled for just three or four thousand yuan, but as top-notch law firms in Hua Country, even the ordinary litigators would be considered elite elsewhere, so the price couldn't be low...

The final agreement was to charge 12,000 yuan for each case filed...

It might not seem like much, but considering the number of plaintiffs Gu Heng was putting forward— at least tens of thousands— it meant that the sum could easily exceed one hundred million, or even two hundred million yuan...

However, though there was a lot of money involved, legal costs were also increasing.

Gu Heng demanded that each case be prosecuted as an individual lawsuit, which clearly had its advantages— it increased the difficulty for the defendants to get acquitted. If Gu Heng sued a dozen or twenty people at once, it might create a situation where no one was held responsible, and the judge might be lenient in their sentencing. This was the advice that the group of lawyers had given Gu Heng...

There were disadvantages as well.

It significantly increased legal costs, multiplying the money spent by more than tenfold and stretching the resources of the top ten law firms thin, as even if one lawyer was responsible for two or three cases, it would still require thousands of lawyers.

Even though the top ten law firms had thousands of lawyers, the legal industry is specialized; some excel in financial litigation cases, some in administrative cases.

A defamation lawsuit is a standard criminal case. While the top ten law firms were eager to earn Gu Heng's money, they couldn't possibly assign a financial lawyer to handle this kind of criminal prosecution, could they? That would be absurd.

After hearing their analysis, Gu Heng didn't say much.

While these disadvantages might be a hassle for others, they meant nothing to him.

It's like what he just said, as long as something could be solved with money, it was no big deal.

As long as he could make those who maliciously defamed him online pay— whether it be through sentencing or compensation— what's spending a bit of money? As long as he felt good, it was enough.

Not enough lawyers?

Hadn't he already contacted dozens of law firms in Jingcheng?

Gather them together, and it would be enough.

He had initially planned to sue millions, which might have meant Jingcheng's lawyers wouldn't be enough, but now that it was only just over ten thousand people, there would surely be enough.

...

After a brief discussion, a merger intention agreement was thus drafted and completed.

Watching the law firm partners somewhat disbelieving that a ten-billion-yuan intent contract had been so simply signed and sealed, Gu Heng smiled and offered them a reassurance pill. Turning to the finance director Angelina, who had been silent from start to finish, he said, "Director Angelina, I've just instructed Construction Bank to transfer ten billion yuan to the company's account, which is my personal investment.

Please contact Construction Bank to confirm the arrival of the ten billion yuan and handle the investment procedures, then communicate with all law firms to set up a special fund account under the name of IDE Capital. The account will be supervised by the top ten law firms to ensure that every penny in the account will be used for our cooperation."

"Right away, I'll get on it."

Angelina did not dawdle; upon receiving Gu Heng's orders, she immediately stood up and, along with several from the finance department's management, went to take care of the investment matters. Even if it was just a specialized fund, it was still an investment of ten billion yuan, and there was a lot to handle.

After hearing this, the last bit of hesitation in the hearts of the partners from the top ten law firms disappeared, their faces filled with smiles.

Wang Haonan was the first to react, first complimenting with a smile, "Mr. Gu really acts decisively."

A ten-billion-yuan level of collaboration was agreed upon in just a few hours— probably the most relaxed business deal he had executed in years. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

After the compliments, Wang Haonan continued, "Since Mr. Gu is so efficient, we can't be slow either.

To ensure the success rate of the lawsuits, we need your cooperation, Mr. Gu. We would like you to use your personal account to issue an online warning, advising those who have maliciously defamed and cyberbullied you to delete their comments within 24 hours and to inform them that you reserve the right to pursue legal action.

After you issue the warning, our law firm will also announce on the official account that we are taking on your case."

Lin Jiayun, who had been quiet up to this point, interjected out of curiosity, "Why go through all that trouble? If you warn them in advance, won't they just delete their comments? How will we sue?"

As Lin Jiayun's voice trailed off, everyone's gaze turned to her.

Feeling the intensity of so many eyes on her, Lin Jiayun nervously edged closer to Gu Heng...

And Gu Heng, while he had a rough idea of Wang Haonan's thoughts, was unclear about the specific details, and perhaps to maintain Lin Jiayun's dignity, he too spoke up, "I also want to know, why go to all this trouble?"

Wang Haonan might not care about Lin Jiayun's doubts, but Gu Heng's concerns were another matter.

Wang Haonan promptly explained, "Here's the thing, the definition for measuring defamation and cyberbullying is actually somewhat vague, and oftentimes, it depends on subjective judicial discretion. The reason behind issuing a warning is to increase the rate of conviction success.

If you don't issue the warning, defendants on trial might admit to their mistake, show contrition, potentially leading the judge to be lenient in his or her verdict.
