Chapter 1386: 100,000 Whys
After understanding the intention of Wang Xuejun's call, Li Fan nodded secretly, there are indeed many works that are helpful to children's education.
The three works of "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text", and "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" are all classic works like "Three Character Classic".
And ......
Li Fan thought so in his heart, and suddenly his mind moved, and he thought of a very influential and high-selling children's popular science book in his previous life.
If you bring that work into the world, it's a very good choice.
So, Li Fan said on the phone: "Minister Wang, I do have an idea recently, and Minister Wang may be a little interested. ”
On the phone, Wang Xuejun's voice was obviously very surprised, "This is really good, Mr. Li Fan, you hurry up and talk about it." ”
Li Fan smiled faintly and said, "Minister Wang, what do you think of the children's desire to learn?"
"The children's desire to learn?" Wang Xuejun said, "Mr. Li Fan is referring to the students, who are self-motivated in their studies? To be honest, there are not many students who are highly motivated. ”
Li Fan said: "Minister Wang misunderstood, I mean the children, the desire to learn about things they don't know, for example, thunderstorms, why do we see lightning first, and then hear thunder?
"This ......," Wang Xuejun said with some uncertainty, "similar to the desire for knowledge in this area, it shouldn't be bad." After all, children's curiosity is heavy. Mr. Li Fan means ......"
Li Fan said: "As Minister Wang thought, I plan to publish a popular science enlightenment book for children, or teenagers, called "One Hundred Thousand Whys". In fact, children's desire to learn is far stronger than we imagined. ”
Wang Xuejun was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li Fan, so far, there is no popular science book specifically for teenagers and children in my country, and our Ministry of Education absolutely supports Mr. Li Fan's idea. It's just that the way to write a book is to use the form of one question and one answer as just now, and then the questions and answers accumulate into a book?"
Li Fan said: "Well, that's it, one question and one answer is accumulated into a book." Of course, since it is a children's popular science enlightenment book, it will definitely be paired with some cartoon patterns and other things, and I will draw them by myself when the time comes. ”
Wang Xuejun pondered on the phone for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Li Fan, will this be too simple? Will there be a market after the launch of this way? Will the children be interested in it? Will they take the initiative to see and learn?"
Li Fan smiled faintly: "Minister Wang doesn't have to worry, the children's interest may be stronger than we imagined." ”
For the market prospect of "100,000 Whys", Li Fan has absolute confidence.
You must know that in the previous life, the cumulative circulation of "100,000 Whys" exceeded 100 million copies.
And that's just the circulation of the original copies, and the circulation of other pirated copies will undoubtedly be much more than 100 million copies.
In addition, books with the theme of "100,000 Whys" are emerging in an endless stream, and there are all kinds of versions.
Therefore, the real circulation of "100,000 Whys" is already an astronomical figure that cannot be counted.
For such a work, why do you need to worry about whether the children are not interested? Is there a market?
On the phone, Wang Xuejun pondered for a moment again and said: "I believe in Mr. Li Fan's judgment, and our Ministry of Education will fully support Mr. Li Fan's work." It's just that, after all, this is a popular science book, and about its distribution......"
Li Fan naturally understood what Wang Xuejun meant, and said with a smile: "Minister Wang, please rest assured, I naturally understand this, popular science books are not, nor are they comics, and there can be no mistakes." Therefore, before I publish it, I will first submit the trial version to the Ministry of Education, and ask relevant experts to check and review it to confirm that it is completely correct before publishing it for publication. ”
Wang Xuejun said with a smile: "It's not that I can't believe Mr. Li Fan, but there really can't be any mistakes in this." In that case, then I will wait for Mr. Li Fan's good news. ”
Li Fan said: "I don't think I will disappoint Minister Wang, I will hand over the trial version of the first part to Minister Wang as soon as possible." ”
Wang Xuejun said: "Okay, then it's hard for Mr. Li Fan, and finally, I will give Mr. Li Fan another New Year's greeting, and ask Mr. Li Fan to pay New Year's greetings to your family on my behalf." ”
Li Fan said with a smile: "I will also pay a New Year's greeting to Minister Wang again, and I will also pay New Year's greetings to Minister Wang's family." ”
After that, the two exchanged a few more polite words, and then hung up the phone.
"One Hundred Thousand Whys", Li Fan was faintly excited and expectant, and Wang Xuejun's phone call suddenly reminded him of this work.
In the 60s of the 20th century, the first edition of this work was published, and in the new century, six editions have been published, and it is a scientific enlightenment book for several generations of teenagers and children in the previous life.
It has played a very active role in disseminating knowledge and popularizing science, and is synonymous with children's popular books.
Now, it's time for such a work to serve the teenagers and children of this world.
"Li Fan, are you going to launch another new work on children's education?" Su Qing asked, with some excitement and anticipation in his eyes.
As a primary school teacher, Su Qing obviously cares very much about this aspect of the work.
Li Fan said with a smile: "This time it is an enlightenment book for popular science, and it can indeed bring great help to children." ”
"Enlightenment books on popular science, if created well, will have a very significant significance, so far in our country, there is no science book about children's enlightenment, your boy's work will be the first. However, such a work is not easy to create, otherwise, those education experts would have created it a long time ago. It's just a simple way to ask and answer like that, are you sure you kid can?"
Obviously, he also heard what Li Fan had just called.
Li Fan said: "Of course, I am very sure that such a simple way, coupled with a variety of colorful cartoon images, will definitely be very marketable, and after the official release in the future, maybe it can create a sales miracle." ”
"Our country does lack a science enlightenment book for children, you kid create it well, if it is really very marketable, it has a very positive effect on the popularization of scientific knowledge for children. Then, its significance will never be under the "Three Character Classic". "This time it was Su Yilin who spoke.
Li Fan nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will seriously create this work." ”
After that, the group discussed this issue for a while, and then it was time for lunch.
The group didn't continue the discussion, but went to the hall to prepare lunch.
