Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Chapter 752: vitality

Yang Rui was joked by Linden and said: "The situation in China is very different from India. The Indian model, at least so far, still has a big gap between the rich and the poor. The children of poor families naturally cannot afford books. , But the children of rich families can afford it. China is not the same. There are too few families in China that can afford books for $130. More importantly, China can understand the original book. There are fewer students, and we teach English as a second foreign language, which has happened in recent years."

  

  Linden knows little about China and the country, just like ordinary people in China and Brazil understand Brazil.

  

But Linden still had illusions, saying: "Even if there are few students who can understand the original book, there are always a lot of old teachers. The population of China is large, and the number of scholars doing biological research is enough to sell hundreds of people. This book is out."

  

   Linden smiled, and said: "A few hundred books, I am satisfied, we just want to open up the Chinese market, and we are not ready to occupy the Chinese market."

  

  Yang Rui shrugged and said, "The old teacher can't afford a 130-dollar book, and most schools won't buy it."

  

"Why? You are from Zhongrong. Don't the schools in Zhongrong want to know what you do? The writings of a Chinese from Zhongrong rank 22 in the Chicago Reading News. This should mean something." Lin The statement that Deng used was a bit cheering for Yang Rui.

  

  Yang Rui casually said: "Because it's expensive. The schools and research institutes in China will definitely be interested. That's right, but I think they will see the materials they want to see through other ways."

  

   "For example?" Linden suddenly had a bad association.

  

   Yang Rui smiled awkwardly, without explaining, and then said: "Of course, if you are willing to announce my book to the major universities in Beijingjing, I would still appreciate it."

  

"Of course, of course, we have to announce it. The book promotion conference a few days ago was just to announce it." Linden said suspiciously: "I will pass on our latest results to the major universities in Beijing. And research institutions."

  

  Yang Rui nodded slightly, and thought about it: "Well, let me introduce a friend to you. You don't know much about China. If you need something, you can ask him for help."

  

   "That's great." Linden couldn't be more satisfied with it.

  

   What Yang Rui introduced to Linden was naturally Shi Gui’s book publishing company.

  

   Shigui's book publishing company is affiliated with China Silk Co., Ltd., and has several names in one go. This is for the convenience of selling book numbers-selling book numbers is also the only way for many Central China Publishing Houses to make money.

  

   Shigui’s largest publishing company, Ruiwen Book Publishing Company, is a little bit more vigorous, especially their unsold Ruixue Secret Volumes, which brought most of the profits.

  

   also through the good sales of Ruixue's secret volume, let Shi Gui join the reading and publishing circle in the city of Beisui.

  

Compared with the academic circle, the publishing circle is naturally more complicated. However, the most complex publishing circle is after all pursuing profit rather than literature. Therefore, compared with the hard work of publishing house employees and middle-level cadres of the same age For the ministries, Shi Gui, who is the boss, would be much easier to join the circle.

  

   This relationship is also used when running with Linden to run publishing houses, universities, and research institutions.

  

   Within half a day, Shi Gui and Linden ran Peking University and Tsinghua University, and confirmed that they had added 8 original editions of "Genomics" for sale, which was pretty good.

  

Linden also looked a little excited and said, "Although only eight books have been sold out in half a day, we will continue to work hard to finish the run! If Jingcheng City, we should be able to sell hundreds of copies. "

  

  Hundreds of copies sold are actually meaningless to Linden. Books in the United States are sold little but expensive, and publishing houses still make money. The reason is that some of the few and expensive books will become cash cows. They sell hundreds of books every year. When piled up like this, the sales volume in one year is small, but ten years. Two years of sales will make a publishing house very comfortable.

  

Whether China can copy the situation in the United States, Linden can’t say, but from his point of view, opening the door to China is a very good result. The so-called pioneer’s performance does not necessarily have to be dazzling. It is to solve the difficulties in the initial stage.

  

   Shi Gui did not have the slightest Linden-like happiness. He just smiled and said in his heart: You like it.

  

   It is clear to him that Tsinghua University and Peking University have a close relationship with Yang Rui. Needless to say, the latter is Yang Rui's alma mater, so buying five more books in one go is nothing. Tsinghua University also invited Yang Rui to attend a course for a long time. Instead of looking at the monk’s face to see the Buddha’s face, it is only natural to buy three more books with the money of the country’s family. Anyway, everyone has been on the Chicago Book Journal The leaderboard of it.

  

   This means spending foreign exchange, otherwise, it doesn’t matter if Tsinghua buys dozens of books and throws them in the library.

  

But if I go to other schools, I’m afraid it’s not so good. Yang Rui has no relationship or incense in other schools. Reluctantly speaking, he has some reputation. If it is used to buy the Chinese version of the biology department, it is estimated that it will be. Some people are interested, but the English version of the book is hopeless.

  

  The situation is as expected by Shi Gui.

  

Linden ran to four schools with Shi Guilian and frequently swiped the door with the face of foreigners. He was once received by a principal-level leader. Everyone asked Yang Rui's "Genomics" to be listed in the "Chicago Reading News" list. It's a celebration, but when it comes to the $130 book, the treat is over.

  

When they arrived at Beiyan Agricultural College, Su Fan’s alma mater, the two were even more ridiculed by the office owner’s unintentional opening: "The book looks pretty good, but we still don’t buy it. If we want to use it, we will ask the school Run a factory and print a few copies. By the way, you want to keep a sample book."

  

   The translator said this to Linden. When Linden looked at Shi Gui, who had long been ashamed, he asked: "Is he talking about piracy?"

  

   This time, without translating the translation directly, he told Linden in English: "At present, China does not have the concept of intellectual property rights. Because of the planned economy, the school itself is allowed to print textbooks for a long time."

  

   "Is it allowed now?" Linden asked.

  

   "I don't know, but schools in remote areas must still do this, otherwise, children will not be able to read books." The translator is also a young man who has just graduated from university and knows the situation in the countryside very well. For the people of Zhongzheng, 130 US dollars is an unimaginable price, but even a three cents is not easy for everyone. In the countryside, if five cents can mimeograph a book, then Most people will definitely choose mimeographed textbooks, even if the quality is so bad that they have to scratch each other every time, it doesn't matter. The focus is on the knowledge, not the paper.

  

   In fact, there are still many Chinese students who can't afford the mimeograph textbook for five cents, so a few people have to read a book or simply drop out of school, just like many Indian children. But the translator is reluctant to say such information, especially to the foreigner Linden.

  

"Let’s try again." Linden didn’t want to give up, saying: "Universities are different. What universities do is first-class research. They don’t understand the work of world-class people and how to do world-class research. No one is doing world-class research, right."

  

   "Although I want to do first-class research, it doesn't matter whether I can do it or not. The current university...hehe." Like many college graduates, the translator sneered at the universities in Zhongli.

  

Linden smiled and said: "I have been to the capitals of many third world countries. Their universities have all kinds of imperfections, but their vitality has always been the envy of me. The same is true, not very perfect, but very energetic... You may not understand American universities. Nowadays, American universities have more students who drink alcohol than students who pick up girls, and students who pick up girls are better than those who read books. Much~www.NovelMTL.com~Of course, they don’t buy books..."

  

   The last sentence is a little humor, which eases the inexplicable emotion.

  

   Shi Gui and the office manager of Beiyan Agricultural College were listening carefully. Although neither of them understand English, they must at least maintain a certain degree of respect for foreign friends.

  

   After leaving the school, Shi Gui actively asked: "Where to go next?"

  

   His goal is to announce Yang Rui's book, and he doesn't really sell the book, so he doesn't care how many copies he can sell.

  

  Linden was initially depressed, but seeing Shi Gui still energetic, he was also encouraged: "Okay, then we will continue. According to the plan, the next one is the Institute of Biology, National Academy of Sciences."

  

   "Chinese Academy of Sciences, okay!" Shi Gui was inspiring, considering the thinking of ordinary people, the effect of advertising to Yang Rui in the Chinese Academy of Sciences would definitely be better than in ordinary universities.

  

Linden looked at Shi Gui’s expression, sighed, and said to the interpreter: "Look, this is the vitality I am talking about. There are no Chinese among you, and you will not be frustrated by failure. Even knowing that you have failed, you can still maintain prosperity Sheng’s vitality and excitement are beyond the reach of us Americans."

  

   "What did he say?" the energetic Shi Gui asked.

  

   The interpreter pondered, and said: "Mr. Linden, I was fooled by you."
