Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Chapter 746: Publication briefing

"Then trouble Mr. Linden, if you need it, you can come to me again." Yang Rui turned his head a little, and agreed to Linden's words.

Linden smiled clearly: "Okay, I must find a way to organize a grand press conference for you."

Yang Rui smiled and shook hands with Linden.

Scholars show off, it's not showing off, it's reporting work.

If scholars can't even make the limelight, then how can they continue to mix? Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory is also supported by the funding of Peking University. If Yang Rui can't make the limelight, this laboratory will either not be able to sustain it or it will have to be replaced. Done.

Of course, American academic circles have higher requirements for fame. Publishing houses are probably used to giving authors various fame jobs. Linden found a hotel and made decorations, and then went to the school and College.

Peking University has nothing to do with it.

Originally, publishing a book was a matter of reputation for the Chinese.

The so-called Taishang has morality, followed by meritorious service, and secondly has established words, which will last for a long time. This is called the three immortality. To be able to publish a book, in the eyes of the Chinese, is to say something.

In China in the 1980s, in this age of inferiority, self-confidence and turmoil, being able to publish a book in the United States, in which the meaning on the surface and the charm in the secret, are even more memorable.

The reporters of Beijing TV station were dispatched again, with cameras and cameras, while taking pictures of Yang Rui, while shooting rare material for the documentary.

According to Beijing TV’s plan, Yang Rui’s documentary has been basically completed. Director Wang even started editing later, only to wait for next year’s Nobel Prize nomination before it will be broadcast. At that time, it should also be when Yang Rui's news value was the highest.

It is a pity that Yang Rui does not live according to the script of Director Wang or the TV station. Therefore, Director Wang can only set up a camera while lamenting the editing time he wasted.

2 o'clock noon.

The teachers, officials, and leaders who entered the venue one after another blocked the small banquet hall of the Great Wall Hotel, leaving only a small passage.

Yang Rui also looked at the decoration of the Great Wall Hotel curiously.

According to the standards of the 1980s, the Great Wall Hotel is China’s first luxury hotel. It is also the first joint venture hotel of the Sheraton Group in China. It has a height of 21 floors and is built in accordance with five-star standards and also in accordance with five-star standards. The standard charges.

Nowadays, most Chinese people have heard of the Great Wall Hotel, but not many have come in.

It is like a five-star hotel opened in Mozambique. For the first time foreigners come, they would rather stay in a more expensive place, while the locals can only look up when they are idle.

Yang Rui had been to the Great Wall Hotel, but it was the first time to enter its banquet hall.

Every day here is reserved for various conferences, and it is more compact than the wedding weekends of later generations.

Norton Press didn't know what channel it had gone, and only in time snatched a room that could accommodate more than two hundred people.

Obviously, the effect of this is very good.

All the invited guests came to the scene, especially the officials of some relevant departments. They also took time out of their busy schedule and chose to go to the Great Wall Hotel to corrupt.

If this kind of banquet is held in other hotels, although there will be many people willing to attend, they will certainly not come, especially just a press conference.

Yang Rui sat down on the table in front of him, with a few officials from the Ministry of Education and the publishing house.

There are 20 tables in the banquet hall. On each table, three English editions of Genomics are placed horizontally for guests to use. And beside "Genomics", there is an obvious reminder: Please read it and put it back.

"It's amazing. I wrote such a book by myself?" Director Ma from the Ministry of Education picked it up and looked at it for a while, gently placed it in front of him, patted the cover with his hand, and commented: Okay, the prints are also colorful, and this picture is much higher than ours."

"Thank you." Yang Rui sat next to him, not knowing how to answer the comments of "good paper quality" and "good printing".

An official from the publishing house nearby laughed and said: "Look at the price of this book, 130 US dollars, if we have so much money, you say how good you can print, it's just a matter of spreading gold leaf."

"Isn't the Oxford Advanced Dictionary published by our translation publishing house printed well? Especially since it was basic in the past few years, Ms. Liu proofreaded it very seriously." The official from the publishing house is also very proud of this.

Director Ma turned the book to find the price of the book, confirmed the number, and asked in surprise, "Really, a book sells for $130? Americans are all taken advantage of."

"American books are so expensive." Yang Rui interjected with a smile, lest there be endless questions.

"What about the Chinese version? How much does the Chinese version cost?" Director Ma asked Yang Rui, then looked at the publishing official next to him.

"Such a thick book, at least 13 yuan." The publisher from the publishing house asked Yang Rui, "have you found a good publishing house? Do you want us to help publish it?"

"Beijing University Publishing House estimates it will come out, I'm not sure, just wait a moment." Yang Rui was more willing to hand it over to Shi Gui's publishing house, so he just dragged on.

The people from the publishing house just asked, Yang Rui didn't immediately agree, so he didn't say more. After all, it's just an academic book. If it wasn't for the English version, he didn't even need to ask.

In China, academic books are almost impossible to sell if they are not included in the textbook plan. Of course, the same is true abroad, but foreign textbook plans are drawn up by various schools. This gives publishers a certain amount of room for survival. In China, The plans are drawn up from the top down. It is extremely difficult to include new textbooks. Naturally, the profit comes from the level of public relations, not the level of textbooks.

Under this circumstance, publishing houses have little interest in the publication of academic books. Even textbooks written by well-known professors often need to be self-financing, that is, first give the publisher the book number cost, printing cost and due profit, and then think about it. Way to sell.

Yang Rui's book is a bit different. After all, there are a lot of gimmicks he carries with him now, but that's all.

Director Ma was interested in listening, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to translate the Chinese version, or do you have a Chinese manuscript?"

"The Chinese manuscript still needs to be revised, right?" Yang Rui really couldn't say that he wrote English first.

In order to write this book, Yang Rui has practiced his English well. The English used to write the book is much more difficult than writing the paper. Although it is still indispensable to refer to the original work, this kind of imitation has always been the only way for the author to learn.

Chief Ma felt his beard and thought about it.

Yang Rui held up the water glass and pretended to drink water. He would rather nobody talk to him.

The middle-aged and elderly domestic cadres in the 1980s were not good candidates for chat.

After a while, Lin boarded up to the front desk and said in English in bursts of applause: "Now, I announce that the "Genomics" publication introduction conference written by Mr. Yang Rui of Peking University has officially started..."

There was a Chinese translation at the scene ~www.NovelMTL.com~ which drew greater applause.

"The Great Wall Hotel, as well as a special introduction from a foreign publishing house, this book is very powerful." Director Ma turned to the other side and bit his ear.

"There are also reporters from TV stations and newspapers." The bitter signaled to the door, and said: "It's pretty good, otherwise, the professors of the Department of Biology of Peking University will not be able to attend all, well... there are many Tsinghua students."

"That is to say, this book is really good." Director Ma nodded slightly.

"What did you think of?" The bitten ear noticed something.

Chief Ma touched his chin and beard, and smiled without speaking.

"You are thinking of Director Zhu's son," he whispered in a whisper after turning his ear bitten.

Chief Ma blinked: "You know?"

"Who doesn't know, Director Zhu's son is appraising his job title, and his working experience is still a bit short. Recently, he is making up the conditions for exceptional promotion."

"You really know."

"How do you want to fix it?"

"Do you think it's appropriate?" Director Ma glanced at Yang Rui, his voice lowered.

"It's okay. Whether it's the translation or the original, it should be considered published. It doesn't take time to operate. Besides, his English version has his own name, but the Chinese version shouldn't care anymore." The bitten ear was quite witty. Raised a few questions.

Director Ma nodded slowly, then looked at Yang Rui, full of smiles.
