Chapter 285: Preparing to Publish a Book!
Professor Sun's many insights on oracle bones have given him new inspiration and research directions, especially when he is eager to communicate in the office, and he has realized that Li Fan has the academic level of a top expert in oracle bones.
At such a young age, it was enough for him to shine through the ages just by creating a new scholarship, but he did not expect that his academic tentacles had already penetrated deeply into the study of oracle bones.
Where does his talent come from, why is his unique and subtle talent untouchable, is it that his generation is old and his thinking can't keep up with the younger generation, or does Li Fan have a unique and amazing talent?
Looking at this 18-year-old young man with a faint smile in front of him, Professor Sun was like facing a mystery, and he felt at this moment that this child might be an indecipherable mysterious genius like Leonardo da Vinci.
Professor Sun smiled kindly and said, "Xiaofan, do you have time during the 11th Golden Week? β
Li Fan shook his head regretfully, "I'm sorry, Professor Sun, the schedule is full during the eleventh day. β
"Don't have a day?"
"I just had to go home and stay overnight. β
"Why are you so busy?"
""The Strongest Brain" has to be recorded for two consecutive episodes, and then there is another "Inheritor" to be recorded, and I was basically born to fly on Eleven. β
Professor Sun sighed, "Then when will you go back to Beijing University?"
"On October 7th, I came back that day. β
"When I come back, I attend a meeting at our institute. β
"Professor Sun, what time is it?"
"2 p.m. β
Li Fan shook his head regretfully again, "Professor Sun, thank you for your support, I will try my best, because at 9 o'clock in the morning that day, I still have a gearββ"
Professor Sun interrupted Li Fan, "Xiaofan, with all due respect, variety shows will stop when they should be stopped, there is no substantial help in your life, your head is born to belong to Chinese culture and scientific research institutes, don't overdo it!"
Li Fan grinned, but did not speak, he said in his heart: I still want to buy a big villa, there are fountains and sycamores, and a video room will be smashed out of the basement to make KTV, and then high-end customized microphones, yelling and screaming for Xiao Tingting, I still have to engage in collections, and I have to eat all the world's food...... All of this needs the support of the RMB, my dear uncle!
Li Fan left Professor Sun's office, and only a few steps away, he received a strange phone call, this call was very enthusiastic, it was from the Spring City Publishing House, saying that he wanted to publish Li Fan's new articles on evidence, and said that he would talk about it in detail when Li Fan returned to Spring City.
Li Fan put down the phone and thought for a moment, it's not impossible.
β¦β¦
Soon after Li Fan left, Professor Sun went back to the institute directly, and the first thing he said when he saw his colleagues was: "Brother, my students have made new interpretations of the 'embarrassment', 'γ«', and 'Tian' in the oracle bone inscriptions." β
Several experts were busy with their own work, Professor Cheng was looking at the photos taken at the scene, and the deer expert was carefully sorting out the coding, and the two of them didn't raise their heads when they heard the words, but just said "um".
Professor Sun sat down in his chair, drank a glass of water, and then chattered urgently: "Let's talk about this embarrassment first, my student's interpretation is that it is a technique for taming dogs or other animals...... What about the word 'γ«', his understanding is that it is not this character at all, but the word 'medium'......"
The corner of the deer expert's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued to bury his head in his work, Professor Cheng also shook his head, and he interrupted the gushing Professor Sun and said: "Today's children, they know whimsy without any theoretical basis!"
"No, he has a theory! His basis isβ"
"Lao Sun, who is your student, who can retranslate three words in one breath? If he really has this ability, then why do you need these old bones in our research institute?"
"My student is Li Fan. β
The two of them looked up at the same time and asked in unison, "Who?"
"Li Fan!"
"Li Fan, that's the pioneer of our new research methodology!!" the deer expert suddenly asked with brighter eyes, "Why did he study the oracle bone inscription again?"
Professor Cheng also said: "Li Fan, Li Fan's words are still worth listening, Lao Sun, you say it again, I didn't pay attention to it just now!"
Professor Sun reinterpreted these three words according to Li Fan's explanation, and the two of them frowned and kept thinking, or nodding or shaking their heads, and they couldn't be sure of Li Fan's right or wrong for a while.
Professor Cheng said: "Old Sun, wait for the seminar after the eleventh day, call Li Fan here, and everyone will study and study together." β
"Li Fan has something to do, and he may not be able to come. β
Professor Cheng pouted, "Hey, a student, what can he do?"
The deer expert corrected: "That is the pioneer, leader, and academic leader of our new research and learning!"
The three resounding names were smashed down, and Li Fan's glorious image as a scholar immediately stood up.
Professor Sun only introduced to everyone the eight oracle bone inscriptions that had been deciphered, and Li Fan denied three on the spot, so isn't it 1,500 oracle bone inscriptions that have been deciphered, and Li Fan has the ability to deny nearly half of them?
Could it be that in addition to pioneering the study of new evidence, Li Fan also wants to redefine oracle bone literature?
This "naΓ―ve" idea was quickly dismissed, after all, the study of oracle bones can be said to be difficult to reach the sky, and now deciphering any oracle bone inscription is a major academic achievement. And Li Fan is just a family in class, and only through the full recognition of the academic community can it be said that Li Fan has made significant contributions.
So, after a burst of exclamations, everyone regained their composure.
Can Li Fan redefine oracle? He can, and he can't. He said that he could, because he had the interdisciplinary coexistence of many disciplines in his head, the logic system was extremely terrifying, and he had the academic achievements of his predecessors, as long as he wanted to, he had the ability to reinterpret at least 700 oracle bone inscriptions, and he could decipher 50 to 100 undeciphered words alone in this time and space in a year or two. Doing this is a redefinition of Oracle, right?
But ah, Li Fan can't do that. In layman's terms, the explanation is that in another 100 years, with the unearthing of new materials, the use of new technologies, and so on, people at that time may prove that the research of today's people is completely wrong, and the first generation of scholars is wrong, and other scholars of the past generations are wrong! Because the cliff situation of the oracle bone inscription and the Shang Dynasty is too serious.
In terms of academic research, Li Fanna is a model of stubborn drilling, and he must use the highest level of his academic level to create the most regretless academic achievements. Academic achievements only have no regrets, no regrets about their sincerity, and no regrets about their own level. Academic results are never perfect!
Therefore, Li Fan has to take his time, study it slowly, figure it out word by word, and study it thoroughly, before it will be made public, even if it is two or three months or even a year, it doesn't matter!
How else to say that Li Fan is the most secular scholar of China.
Eleven, Golden Week has arrived.
After explaining the matter of the quyi troupe, Li Fan took a flight back to Spring City alone, and Gu Yating still needed to stay in Beijing for two days, because the flagship store of Yating's supermarket chain officially opened on the eleventh.
What Gu Wanli may never have expected is that since the eleventh, his business has entered a new round of vigorous development, the supermarket chain founded in the name of his daughter 18 years ago, who would have thought that the word "Yating" would become a bronzing sign 18 years later?
The daughter is famous, and the future son-in-law is even more famous, looking at the name of this supermarket, how many people's minds will flash a sentence for the first time: Well, this is the supermarket of Li Fan's girlfriend's house!
When Li Fan returned to Spring City, he went straight to the supermarket at home as soon as possible.
Mom is still the same mom, nagging endlessly, dad is still that dad, dare to be angry and dare not speak, but my sister is not that sister anymore, as if she has grown up a little, and she still helps the family to work.
"Brother!"
"Eh!" Li Fan's heart warmed, and he walked into the supermarket, and then he was wrapped around his thighs by Jelly's arm.
When the mother saw her son come back, she didn't nag Lao Li anymore, she said to her son: "Have you eaten, son, I'll go home and cook for you." β
"I didn't do it at home, I went to the restaurant to eat. β
Dad Li asked, "How many days will you stay home?"
"I'll leave tomorrow. β
Mom: "Huh?"
Dad: "What?"
Jelly: "Woo woo woo ......"
"Tomorrow night in Gongsu Province, the day after tomorrow will start recording "The Strongest Brain" for two consecutive days, and then I will fly to Shanghai to record "The Inheritor", and then I will have no time, you have also seen, your son has to make money, and then buy new clothes for his sister and buy delicious food. β
Jelly was unmoved, and continued to hold her brother's thigh and cry, "I miss my brother, don't let my brother go, woo woo woo ......"
Little girls are very cute at this age, and they will express their emotions unreservedly and directly, which makes people's hearts roll with bursts of heat.
The old mother said angrily: "You are busier than the national leaders!"
Li Fan scratched his head, "I'm also helpless, I like these two shows a lot, it's a pity to miss them." You and my dad clean up, Sister Wang and Cheng Cheng also rest and rest, go together, let's close the store today. β
Dad Li frowned and said, "There are still a few families who have not delivered the goods." β
"I'll send it, you guys hurry up!"
Li Fan said that, and sent the goods ordered by the clerk to the tricycle one by one, and when the last bag of customers' snacks was loaded into the car, Li Fan saw that Little Jelly was sitting in the car and looking at him with tears in his eyes.
Li Fan was stunned, how did he come up, he walked to the back of the car and took a look, okay, there is a wooden pier under the carriage!
Stepping on the tricycle, Li Fan ignited the ignition, "Jelly, hold on, we're going to take off!"
The car drove slowly into the community, Li Fan became a delivery man, where he went with his sister, Li Fan asked his sister what she had studied recently, but her sister didn't answer, and asked her if the teacher had handed her any homework, she still blinked and didn't answer. Finally, she was asked what she wanted to eat, and then, "popcorn, hawthorn chips, cobic, chocolate, bubble gum, cake, ......"
Finally delivered all the goods on the car, and when Li Fan drove the tricycle back to the supermarket, everyone was ready to close the store.
After washing the handle, Li Fan picked up his sister, and the family was happy and walked to the restaurant not far away.
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, an official car drove into the community and went straight to Li Fan's house, with five words on the body: Chuncheng Publishing House.
After parking, several people surrounded a man in his early 40s and walked into the corridor and came to the door of Li Fan's house.
Someone raised their hand and knocked on the door, bang, bang!
"Anyone?"
I knocked softly again, but still no one answered.
"President, I'm not at home. β
"The supermarket is closed, and there is no one at home, why did they go?"
"President, why don't we give Li Fan a call?"
The president shook his head, "I have my own plan, to compete for Li Fan, we must not only be one step ahead, but also be more sincere than others, and let Jisen Publishing House willingly bow to the upper hand!"
Wait, wait, and send someone out to inquire, and finally knew that Li Fan's family had gone out to eat, but it was not clear where to go to the nearby shops.
"President, why don't we go back to the car and rest?"
"No, no, no, sincerity, we must reflect our sincerity everywhere, what is the key to success?
Everyone followed his words and said, "Sincere!"
"Wrong, details! Some details will inadvertently impress people, this is the trick!"
After standing for a while, the president was really tired, his eyes rolled, and he said, "Xiao Shen, you go to the door and wait for Li Fan and them, remember, ask what kind of car their family is, once you find out, you will > as soon as possible." "Okay!" Xiao Shen took the order and left.
The president stretched his waist and said, "You guys are here to guard, I'll go back to the car and rest." β
"Then let's get back in the car. β
The president waved his hand and whispered: "No, no, no, there are eyes everywhere, if we all go back to the car, the neighbors will inadvertently reveal that we haven't been waiting at the door after seeing it, wouldn't it let people know that we are cheating?"
"The president is really high, and he thinks about all kinds of problems. β
"We really have to learn from the president, high, really high!"
After the president pushed the door out triumphantly with a big belly, everyone pouted one after another, look at your beauty.
The president's style of acting is a little sour, too fiddling with enthusiasm, but many people eat this, after all, they don't reach out and don't hit smiling people.
After another two hours, the president's WeChat rang, he opened his eyes suddenly, then pushed the car door, walked a few steps into the corridor, and after a while, but heard the sound of laughter outside the door, the unit door opened, Li Fan's family just appeared, the president strode over, held Li Fan's hand with both hands, and said cordially: "Xiaofan, we have waited for you so hard!"
Li Fan was stunned, "You are President Zhang?"
President Zhang clasped his hands together again, "Zhang Tianqi, just call me Brother Zhang." Brother Zhang took the liberty to visit today, without greeting in advance, and the etiquette was not good, Haihanha. β
Li Fan had goosebumps on his body, and there was some pantothenic acid between his tongue, anyway, Li Fan had experienced a reception that was too cordial many times, and now he is also very resistant.
"Oh, I originally wanted to go to your club tomorrow to talk in detail, so let's go into the house and talk. β
Walking into the living room, everyone sat down on the sofa, Dad Li was accompanied, Mama Li was busy serving tea and pouring water, and Little Jelly was tired of being by her brother's side.
Li Fan said: "You want to publish my articles on evidence, maybe my articles are not enoughββ"
President Zhang interrupted: "No, it's sufficient, it's sufficient,"
After saying this, President Zhang gave a look to the people around him, and the staff member hurriedly opened his notebook and said, "From August last year to today this year, you have published a total of 23 articles on new evidence, totaling 173,815 words......! We expect the new book to be around 285 pages in total, and if anyone has a preface, they will need to be added. β
Li Fan is speechless, you can, you are so well prepared.
President Zhang said secretly: This is called detail, called professionalism!
Another staff member opened the notebook, opened the PPT, and showed it to Li Fan, "This is the layout design of the book we rushed to produce overnight, as well as our promotion plan, you can take a look." β
Li Fan turned it over and said with a smile: "Your society is bound to win it for me?"
"Hahaha!" President Zhang smiled and said, "It's not inevitable, but to issue a book for the pioneers of the new examination, we can't be a little sloppy." β
This sycophant was slapped, and Li Fan shuddered again.
President Zhang said: "Xiaofan, as for the royalty, we will give you 15%, which is the highest royalty in China, and you enjoy the treatment of the top writer, which is our recognition of the appeal of your book." β
Li Fan beat a drum in his heart, this is a highly professional work, does anyone buy it? Can it be sold? But he can't say that he will give me less royalties, my book may not be able to sell, Li Fan wants to say this, that is to be sincere.
Li Fan was noncommittal and said, "You talk to my agent about this, I don't ask, I'll ask her to contact you at night." β
"Good, professional. We plan to print 500,000 copies for the first time and sell them in major bookstores across the country. β
Li Fan thought for a while: "It may be a bit much, why don't you print less and test the water first?"
"Not much, we don't think it's enough to sell! Let's add more photos of you in the book, are we still worried about selling?"
As soon as Li Fan heard this, his face changed sharply, and he said with a solemn face: "Absolutely not!"
