Chapter 0340 - A Visit from the Publishing House (3)
Seeing that the teacher was about to call, Tao Li hurriedly said. Anyway, it has reached this point, and when the publisher takes the initiative to contact them, they can sell at a price.
"Take the initiative to contact us, Mr. Tao, are you sure?" The teacher was about to pick up the phone, but after hearing Tao Li's words, he had to put down the phone in his hand again and asked suspiciously.
"yes, how would the publisher know that we still have a book to publish? ”
"And they haven't seen what this Friends of Math is like, so even if they do, they don't necessarily contact us. ”
…………
The rest of the teachers also asked, Tao Li seems to be a little too confident?
"Don't worry, listen to me, even if no publisher takes the initiative to contact us, then we can contact them again in two days, anyway, there is no rush at this time. Tao Li replied with a smile.
Everyone glanced at each other, since Tao Li said so, then they didn't want to say anything more, and what Tao Li said made sense, there was really no publisher to contact them at that time, so it would not be too late for them to contact the publisher.
When the rest of the teachers returned to their desks one after another, Chen Tianxiang quietly came to Tao Li's side, looking like he wanted to say something.
"What's the matter, if you have something to say, just say it!" Looking at the expression on Chen Tianxiang's face, Tao Li said helplessly.
"Then I really said it. Publishing a teaching book is not as simple as copying a thing, you are very well-known, yes, but that is only limited to teaching, in the compilation of books, we are all just novices, have you ever seen a publisher who will take the initiative to contact and want to buy the copyright of a novice?" Chen Tianxiang asked worriedly.
"To say that at the beginning, I would definitely not say that let the publisher take the initiative to contact us, but now it is different, after the students in the forum so trouble, especially the book search revelation this activity, greatly enhanced the reputation of our book, it is said that our school and several bookstores around, have been asked by the students, the owners of these bookstores, business sense is much sharper than ours, and they must have kept in touch with many publishers, since the school has made a statement, the copyright of our book has not been sold, then there will definitely be bookstore owners who can't help but contact the publisher, want to buy the book as soon as possibleThat's why I said that we don't need to contact the publisher, someone will take the initiative to help us contact the publisher. ”
Tao Li explained with a smile. And Tao Li also felt that it would not be long before someone asked his grandfather to tell his grandmother to find someone to help ask about the specific situation of the book, and wanted to get the physical book to take a look at it specifically, but this was just a conjecture of Tao Li, so he didn't tell Chen Tianxiang.
"Can it really be reliable?" Chen Tianxiang thought that what Tao Li said was quite reasonable, but he still asked more.
"If it's reliable, I'll know if it's reliable or not, let's finish the matter at hand first, and then I'll leave it alone for the time being when I publish the book "Friends of Mathematics". Tao Li replied with a smile.
"Well, I'll listen to you. Chen Tianxiang nodded and said.
In fact, it was similar to what Tao Li expected, Zhao Hang, the owner of Yiyou Bookstore, after calling Xia Wenzhi, began to wonder where to get the "Friends of Mathematics" compiled by Tao Li. It is definitely impossible to find Tao Li directly, Zhao Hang and Tao Li are not familiar with each other, as for finding Tao Li indirectly through other teachers, Zhao Hang can't think of any teacher he knows who can act as an intermediary for a while.
However, after all, Zhao Hang has been running a bookstore in Jinling Middle School for more than ten years, from school leaders to ordinary students, and he knows a lot of people.
This book was borrowed by Zhao Hang from a math teacher in the second grade of high school, the teacher and Zhao Hang usually have a good personal relationship, plus Zhao Hang has been talking for a long time, and the teacher is embarrassed to refuse again, so he agreed to lend it to Zhao Hang for one night, and he must return it to him the next morning.
After returning home, Zhao Hang couldn't wait to take out this "Friends of Mathematics" and read it, he also wanted to know, how good the quality of the reference book that can make so many students crazy pursue, or is it just fried by those students?
"The printing quality of the book is very good, and although it seems to be delivered for free, it does not cut corners on printing. Zhao Hang just flipped through it casually and came to such a conclusion.
The pages of the whole book are very smooth, the paper is not rough to the touch, and between the papers, there is a faint fragrance of wood pulp, unlike many books, there will even be a trace of foul smell between the papers!
Looking at the cover of this book, the overall design is very simple and beautiful, and the design pattern is also very youthful and energetic.
"The cover of the book alone is half the book. Zhao Hang said as he opened the main page of the book and began to read it seriously.
If the cover of the book represents the external beauty of the reference book, then the essence of the book is the inner beauty, and the external beauty can only attract others, and if you want to keep others, you can only rely on the inner beauty.
The first thing that catches your eye is the overall knowledge structure of the first chapter, and further down is the specific development of the content of the first subsection. Zhao Hang has been in the teaching and auxiliary business for a year or two, although it is not as good as the professional vision of teachers, but it can still distinguish the quality of teaching and auxiliary books, take the book in front of him as an example, although he has not watched it seriously, but the first feeling makes Zhao Hang feel that this book must not be bad!
Even better than any reference book he's ever seen!
"There's something about it!"
Zhao Hang muttered in a low voice as he continued to look down seriously.
And the more he looked down, the deeper the surprise in Zhao Hang's heart, because the following knowledge point explanation is really well written, every knowledge point, and even every exercise, has its usefulness, and most of the questions in it are original by Tao Li, but the quality of the original questions is not worse than those college entrance examination questions!
Even Zhao Hang, who has been out of mathematics for decades, is learning little by little following the explanations in the book, and he can actually understand it without any obstacles to understanding!
This kind of teaching aid book can definitely be described by the word horror, looking at a book, it is as if there is a teacher lecturing you, and this teacher is also a special teacher of Jinling Middle School!
"No, you have to notify Lao Xia quickly, and hurry up to buy the copyright! If you let someone else buy it, wouldn't it be a loss?" Zhao Hang immediately made a decision in his heart!
