Magic Tower Starry Sky

"Starry Sky of the Magic Tower ( Find the latest chapter!

After the periodicals in stock are sold out, things are not over, and there are still many magicians who want to see the prints of 'advanced technology'.

Hold on to the first brush amount, and wait for the second issue of mathematics journals for those who haven't bought it, and play the hunger marketing version of the fans?

Guess what will happen to the printing workshop after public outrage? Lost intellectuals are on the same level as the earth's bowl-cracking masses?

The great magician Kabanbai didn't dare to stand up to so many peers and juniors. An old bone can't stand the toss of so many people.

Someone thought about it, anyway, the printing workshop is not as formal as the publishing house on Earth, so there are many operating methods available. For those masters who can't wait for the second issue, the registration and purchase system will be adopted. Simply put, as many people register, as many copies will be printed. In this way, you can avoid guessing the sales volume. If you guess too little, you have to add three brushes, and if you guess too much, it will become inventory.

As an apprentice with a quick mind, I suggest you learn the ordering method of the Chamber of Commerce, collect the money first, and then print the book.

Someone rejected such a proposal without even thinking about it. Of course, doing so will be more secure for the printing workshop. But if someone messes up during the process, or if something goes wrong on your own side, causing the money to be collected, but the things have not been handed over to others, then you will offend others. It's always a problem when someone takes the opportunity to make trouble. Now that the journal is a start-up, there is no trouble at all.

If you don't collect the money first, and someone makes a reservation but then regrets it, you will lose face of that person. Orders are all real-name only. If anyone really wants to spread a reputation that is not worth talking about, it is based on real evidence, no one is to blame.

Even if a magician really put his face on it and don't want it, how much does it cost to print a journal? Not counting the value of published knowledge, the cost of pure paper is less than I Kiel (1 gold). Some people don't like to see inventory, it's just because it's a waste of resources, it doesn't mean that they can't afford the money.

In contrast, the risk of offending someone if you collect money first, and the inventory risk of collecting money later are of different magnitudes. For insurance, which one to choose is an obvious thing.

If there are people who do not know where they come from, they will order a hundred or a thousand copies in one go. hehe. Little ones, playing this kind of tricks that have been played badly on the earth, and you have a hole in your brain if you care about them.

But there are people like this who come to your door! But the identity of the other party is a member of the chamber of commerce, and he intends to sell it to areas other than the holy city of Estali.

Of course, matters in this area should be handed over to the president of the school with a relatively wide range of people. Even if there is something tricky behind the opponent's back, this well-informed old man will not be easily fooled, and he will be more powerful in finding his way back. Faye who are lost in the land are not old scholars who only know how to study and keep a deaf ear to foreign affairs.

As for the number of periodicals to be printed starting from the second period, in order to have a more accurate grasp, some apprentices suggested that the same registration and purchase system as this time can be adopted. It's like Earth subscribes to a yearly magazine or something.

But this is not the first game of collecting money first, or starting a discount promotion for a one-year subscription. After discussion, pre-registered purchasers of the Midi version can enjoy the convenience of having someone deliver the goods to their door and then collect the money.

In this way, these people who are willing to buy for a long time can avoid the trouble of running around and queuing. You must know that the people who buy mathematics journals are not only the magicians in the VI area of ​​the Holy City. Faye from other areas want to come to the Kabanbai Academy in Area VI, and there is a long distance to walk on two legs.

In the second issue, in addition to printing the number of those who have registered purchase intentions, it should be enough to print one or two hundred copies. In addition to handing over to the big library and keeping it for yourself, there are also those who want to buy it on the spur of the moment. But there are not many such people. Mathematical journals are not a light-hearted book that everyone wants to take with them when they come.

The finishing work of the first issue of Mathematics Journal is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the second issue has to be prepared.

Because the method of submitting to mathematics journals was printed on the back cover of the first issue, a large number of submission documents were collected in just a few days after the hot sale. Fortunately, the submission method given by someone is a specially set up magic webmail mailbox. If the actual address is given, it will not be overwhelmed by the snowflakes of letters.

In order to cope with the astonishing number of manuscripts, Lin decided to implement a plan in advance, and told the people who came to the math class during the break time in class. That is the Mathematics Journal Selection Committee.

"So, what does this committee do?" someone asked.

"To put it simply, it is to distribute a large number of submissions to the committee members for review. When the committee members find that they think it is suitable for publication in the journal, they will propose it and discuss it with everyone. After all, the page is limited, and it is impossible for everything Put it up. If you really have good new knowledge, but are limited by the layout, you can book it as the content of the next issue of the journal as appropriate."

"Isn't this your job, Master Tripwood."

"It's true that I am a founder, but I hope to establish a system for the distribution of journals. Even without me, a system that can run for a long time."

A certain person is so ambitious, although he didn't say it clearly before, everyone has more or less noticed it. But it is a good thing anyway, and there is no reason not to support it, so everyone is still very interested in how the details will be arranged.

Lin said: "I estimate that there will be ten members of the selection committee, including me. Each manuscript will be randomly assigned to two committee members for selection. As long as one person recommends it, it can be brought out for everyone to discuss. Because every month 1st is the publication date of the journal. According to previous experience, it takes about seven to ten days to proofread and print the manuscript, so I scheduled the 18th of each month as the deadline for submission of the current month, and the manuscripts submitted after that will be counted as the next month. Yes. The selection committee meets on the 19th of every month to decide which new knowledge to publish. The printing operation begins on the 20th.”

Everyone was noncommittal about such an arrangement. What everyone wants to know is how to choose these committee members?

In this regard, Lin said directly: "Of course I am one of them. At least until the mathematics I am scheduled to teach is finished, the journals have to leave a page to publish this part. The other nine people, the way I think of now is to make them public." Recruitment. But at this stage, I don’t think outsiders will be familiar with our mathematical methods except for everyone who came to the mathematics class, so the selection committee will choose from among you. When the time is right, external recruitment is not ruled out.”

With those words, it was considered as a flattering gesture to everyone present. So everyone showed a proud expression, and no one expressed dissatisfaction. But someone didn't say it dead, it's just that the 'time is ripe', so they interpreted it individually.

After confirming that there was no objection, Lin continued: "Of course there will be a salary for this job, but not everyone is willing to do it, so I only recruit volunteers. If there are less than nine volunteers, the volunteers will be the main ones for the time being. Insufficient number will be reserved for future recruitment. If there are more than nine volunteers, I will use a math test to select the eight people with the highest scores and one person with the lowest score who did not hand in a blank paper to form the first round of selection with me. member of the committee."

Although Midi does not have an imperial examination system that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is not that there is no concept of "test" at all. For example, the promotion assessment for apprentices is a test that Faye will definitely pass in his life. So for someone to say, when the number of volunteers exceeds the required number, it is a very reasonable way to use the quality of the test as the criterion for selection. However, which sub-condition has the lowest selection score?

To everyone's questions, Lin replied: "I think everyone can understand the selection of the best people. Because the test results are excellent, it can be used to explain the test taker's understanding of mathematics from a certain aspect; but those who do not score well , does it mean that the tester's mathematics understanding is poor? I don't think this is absolute. Maybe it's just that this person has a different way of thinking and a different point of view from others, so they will get different results. Mathematics is of course There is only one answer, but it is not so absolute about whether a thing is good or bad. Maybe if there is such a person, you can see what other people ignore, so as to evaluate all submissions from a more comprehensive perspective. Mathematics journals, hope to be published theoretical new knowledge."

Such a statement sparked a discussion among the people below. It sounds like some people are convinced, but others are not so convinced. Lin added at this time: "Actually, I don't think you need to worry too much. Because this can only be regarded as a temporary solution. After all, it is something that no one has done. If we do it, it will be like crossing a river while groping. When you can't move forward, you have to go back and choose other directions to go down. It's a normal thing. We only need to uphold the idea of ​​expecting knowledge to accumulate and improve, and try our best to try and challenge the unknown. That's it."

Having said all of this, no one insisted on objecting. If it is found that such a practice is not good in the future, it will be fine to correct it.

Seeing that everyone has no opinion~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Lin finally said: "If there are no other questions, then we will tentatively hold the first test in two days. Those who are willing to become selection committee members can do so in two days today and tomorrow. Sign up at the time of registration. Because everything is preliminary and the system has not yet been perfected, the term of the first selection committee is tentatively set at one year. That is, after the release of the 12th periodical, a new selection committee will be re-elected, but The method is not necessarily the same. The salary is tentatively set at C Gil (100 gold) per month, and a journal is given as a gift. Whether it is adjusted or not depends on the future situation. If you have any opinions, you are also welcome to put forward discuss."

Listening to someone's arrangement, it is already thoughtful in every aspect, and everyone agrees for the time being. However, someone still asked: "If I serve as a selection committee member, can I still contribute?"

After thinking about it, Lin said bluntly: "I used to tend to avoid such questions. But after thinking about it, because submissions are assigned, you don't have to submit them yourself, you will be selected by yourself. Even if it is just right , selected by myself, and recommended, but it may not be passed at the final selection meeting. If it is passed, it means that the new knowledge is valuable, and it has nothing to do with who published it. So I In the end, it is a decision that there is no need to avoid such behavior for the time being. Of course, this will be tried for a period of time to see how it works. If necessary, we will make changes in the future.”

What someone didn't say is that it is actually possible to use the method of sealing the names, and wait until the final printing stage, and then list the names of the selected articles. If you have done this, and there are people who are thick-skinned enough to say at the final election meeting that I wrote that article, and if you insist on recommending it, then you can only accept it.

It's just that such an approach doesn't need to be made public here, it's an internal matter of the selection committee.
