Chapter 389 Publishing
"Thank you very much, I will definitely report to you as soon as I return to China!" After getting the good news from the phone, Lu Qiujian suppressed his excitement and thanked the Great Elder.
"Haha, I said at the National Science and Technology Commendation Conference last time that if you win the Fields Medal, I will hold a banquet for you in Haizi, and as a result, you will not only win the Fields Medal, but also the Nobel Prize! Are you planning to save money and combine two tons into one meal?" the Great Elder also joked.
The photographer on the side, the Chinese ambassador to Germany and the consul general in Munich showed surprised expressions at the same time, and in their impressions, the Great Elder had always been unsmiling, and it was the first time in their hearts that they had joked so lightly as today.
In the days that followed, there was an endless stream of reporters flying from China to Munich, and except for a few media outlets that had to deal with it, Lu Qiujian, the others, either refused or accepted their interviews through the Internet, which made him barely able to calm down.
But there is one person who has to be personally received no matter what, that is Yuan Xinye, the president of Beijing Normal University Press, who rushed to Germany as soon as he got the news of Lu Qiujian's award to discuss with him the publication of the book "When Mankind Begins to Look Up to the Starry Sky".
"Dr. Lu, your original decision is really too wise!" He took out a sample book and handed it to Lu Qiujian, the cover was the vast starry sky, and on the starry sky, in addition to the title of the book, there was also a line of eye-catching big characters -- by Lu Qiujian, winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics and the 25th Fields Medalist!
When Lu Qiujian was looking through the sample book, Yuan Xinye kept expressing his admiration, "Now it seems that I am indeed a little impatient! The public influence of the Fields Medal is indeed not as good as that of the Nobel Prize, and the timing of the book is much better now than in August!"
"The cover is okay, I'll take a look at the text!" Lu Qiujian opened the text, and in addition to the text, there were also exquisite illustrations. Of course, these illustrations are all from Xia Xiao's hand, when she was in Germany, she wrote her own manuscripts, she drew illustrations, every picture was instructed and modified by him, which is much more reliable than finding someone else, and there are few illustrators with better drawing skills than her!
"I have contacted several well-known book companies in Modu, Xingcheng and Shudi, and found several 4A advertising companies to develop a promotion plan for this book. The printing house is also open for 24 hours a day non-stop printing!" Yuan Xinye, who was full of red light, kept telling his credits.
The company he was looking for basically covered several major media centers in China, and through their channels, he could send his books to all parts of the country in the shortest possible time.
In addition, the government is also very supportive of the book, and the Xinhua Bookstore has taken the initiative to come to the door to ask for an order for the book, and the first batch of millions of copies will be requested!" Perhaps these people see that the high-level officials value themselves so much and want to sell them through these means? But this is absolutely no harm to themselves! The channels of the Xinhua Bookstore can reach almost all cities at or above the county level.
"By the way, Dr. Lu, did you only write manuscripts in Chinese or do you have other languages? We are also planning to translate your book into other languages and sell it abroad, for fear that those translations are not deep in mathematics and physics, and there will be undue mistakes." It would be better if you had the original manuscript!" Yuan Xinye saw that Lu Qiujian was in a good mood, and tentatively put forward his own request.
However, Lu Qiujian soon shattered his dream, "Oh, you don't have to worry about foreign publishing." There are publishing houses in Europe, the United States, and Neon that have negotiated contracts with me! Let them do these things locally! After all, they are more familiar with their own channels. ”
"Eh, that's really congratulations!" The depressed Yuan Xinye held back these words for a long time, and his heart was extremely depressed! This is not only a matter of economic gains, but also a good opportunity to play his own brand. However, he was still unwilling, and after asking the countries in charge of those publishing houses, he insisted on getting the right to distribute books in some small countries around China.
"Hmm. Yes, I didn't find any problems!Let's just release it!" After quickly flipping through it, Lu Qiujian made a decision.
"It's good if you're satisfied, then you see that some publicity activities may require your cooperation, such as signing and selling books" Yuan Xinye said more and more quietly, he probably knew that Lu Qiujian didn't have this time, but he was a little unwilling not to say it.
"How many did you bring with you this time? I can sign a hundred copies for you at most, just attend the event, it is unlikely that I will return to China before December, and I will definitely start to be busy after returning to China, and I will not have time to participate!" Lu Qiujian picked up the pen and signed his name on the title page of the sample book.
"I have to collect this book myself!" Yuan Xinye immediately hugged the book in his arms like a baby, as for why he can return to China after December, it is because the Nobel Prize is awarded in December!
A few days later, just when Lu Qiujian's exposure was high, "When Mankind Begins to Look Up at the Starry Sky" began to be sold simultaneously across the country, and due to the bombing propaganda in the early stage and Lu Qiujian's strong appeal, many bookstores lined up in front of the door.
Among these people, some are Lu Qiujian's fans, and it is not enough to collect Lu Qiujian's jerseys, but now he finally has nothing to do with a book, whether he understands it or not, he will buy it back and show it off first! Not to mention that there is also a lottery to get Lu Qiujian's autograph! There are not many fans who can get Lu Qiujian's autograph!
There are also lovers of mathematics, physics and astronomy who want to see how the world's top scholars explain the problems they are interested in!
Parents who hope that their sons will become Chan and their daughters will become phoenixes hope that their children can learn from Lu Qiujian's wisdom.
Of course, there are also restless ones, such as this sneaky walking around the line, "Eh, brother, do you want Lu Qiujian's latest book? This sells twenty-eight, and I only need ten yuan!"
The pirated guy was quickly discovered by law enforcement, who immediately ran over and several uniformed staff members grabbed him and interrogated him to find the location of his books.
Unwrapping the paper bag, those law enforcement officers were speechless for a moment, only to see that in addition to "When Humans Begin to Look Up at the Starry Sky", what else is "Lu Qiujian's Mother Tells You How to Cultivate Geniuses" and "Zero Distance Contact: The Secret That Lu Qiujian and I Have to Say"! )
