"It's twelve o'clock, if you want to go, hurry up. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Dean Liu took the lead, greeted everyone, and immediately went out, that posture is the so-called posture that no matter whether you go or not, I will go anyway.

Others went out one after another, some of them acted quickly, and some of them were slow, after all, not everyone was like Dean Liu, who cared so much about Yang Rui's affairs.

A group of people rushed to the cafeteria one after another, it was the meal, Professor Cai simply beckoned everyone to eat together, and the food in the canteen was the level of fullness.

After a while, an American walked into the cafeteria, ignorant like a stupid deer, and sat down at the idle table under the watchful eyes of the students, and his interpreter went to buy a few bottles of Arctic Ocean soda and put them on the table, waiting quietly.

"This American is from Norton Press?" Professor Cai finished his meal in two bites, put down his chopsticks, and stared at the blonde man.

"Otherwise, I'll ask?" Professor Lu Yueping is also an anxious child.

Dean Liu hesitated and said: "No, I don't know what the situation is, what if people don't like to be disturbed, what kind of temper is the person in this foreign publishing house, we haven't figured it out yet." ”

For Chinese scholars, the publication of a work in a foreign country is not the first time that it has ever been groundbreaking, but it is definitely more important than groundbreaking. Not to mention the rest, it is first and foremost an acknowledgment of the author's originality.

For example, the same works on genetics or genetics, some authors have written in China, but if you want him to publish a pamphlet abroad, it is difficult to do it, the reason is very simple, the "genetics" or "genetics" he wrote in China cited too many foreign materials to be labeled, or he simply did not want to mark, which is equivalent to copying the content of foreign scholars and co-authoring a book.

In China, such works can be labeled as "compilation", but there is no relevant system abroad.

In the final analysis, there are already more Chinese scholars who can create a few pages of papers, but if it comes to creating a book, Chinese scholars will encounter all kinds of problems.

But the more difficult things are, the more they show their skills.

Especially in schools and research institutes, at the level of professors or researchers, it is not too difficult to write a book for publication in China, which makes writing books like those worthless certificates, and it begins to become boring.

Publishing monographs abroad, for Chinese scholars, has the magical effect of eliminating corruption and preserving purity, it is like a judicial examination or an accountant certificate, everyone knows that it is difficult to examine, and everyone has to spend a lot of energy and time, but after the examination is issued, it is very convenient to show off.

The easier it is to do, the more it is despised, and the more difficult it is to do, the more it is valued, and the values of academia are more or less so, and as for whether they are worth anything or not, what is the value, they are put on the back burner.

Dean Liu was very concerned about the fact that Yang Rui had the opportunity to publish abroad, and he looked at his watch anxiously, muttering to himself: "Why hasn't Yang Rui come over yet, it's going to be time." ”

Xu Zhengping looked at his watch and said, "It's about one o'clock, and there is still half an hour." ”

"By the way, Lao Xu, you can go and entertain him, have you seen him? There is only half an hour left, and Yang Rui can't come yet. "Dean Liu is afraid that he will snub the guys from Norton Press.

Xu Zhengping didn't move, and said with some skepticism: "I met the representative of Norton Press yesterday, and it doesn't seem to be this one." ”

"The representative of Norton Press is not an American?" A person next to him looked at the blonde foreigner, very strange, as if there was only one person in the United States.

Xu Zhengping coughed twice and said, "Yesterday it seems to be a green-eyed one, but today's one is blue-eyed, and he is not so tall, a little shorter and fatter." ”

"No, it's not. Dean Liu was a little regretful, and thought about it: "I'll go say hello and see what it's doing." ”

He was also a little worried that this foreigner would influence the Norton Publishing House, although they were all very important foreign guests, but the importance was different.

Professor Cai and the others watched Dean Liu tidy up his clothes and go to chat with foreigners with his head held high.

As a middle-aged and elderly cadre, Dean Liu's facial expression was very vivid, I saw him first smile, then surprised, then confused, then ecstatic and worried, and simply sat down and chatted warmly with the other party.

"Our Dean Liu is quite suitable for acting in dramas. "There are professors who like art, and they are very artistic to evaluate Dean Liu.

Academician Cai smiled and picked up the teacup in front of him, and subconsciously looked at his watch again.

At 12:40, Yang Rui still didn't come.

Others are also paying attention to the time.

"Do you want to call Yang Rui. Professor Wang Yong was also a little anxious, as if the elders were complaining about the juniors, and said: "Yang Rui too, such an important matter, I don't know how to come earlier." ”

"I didn't inform the department in advance, otherwise, we would have helped to entertain them. Director Qin of the office quickly cleared up his responsibilities.

"It's okay, Lao Liu is not talking. Professor Cai settled the discussion in one sentence.

A few minutes later, Dean Liu returned to the crowd with a brisk walk.

"You can't think of it, you can't think of it!" Dean Liu spoke three points faster than usual.

"Two people from Norton Press?" Professor Wang Yong immediately thought of this answer.

Dean Liu was stunned: "Why did you think of this?"

Professor Wang Yong thought that he was right, so he said: "Lao Xu has met another person from Norton, and Dean Liu is so happy, which means that there are two people from Norton who attach great importance to Yang Rui, right?"

"It's kind of like, but it's not right. Dean Liu smiled, lowered his voice a little, and said, "This is indeed from the publishing house, but not from Norton Press." ”

"Hey, didn't you come to Yang Rui?"

"I came to find Yang Rui. Dean Liu smirked and said, "Do you remember Professor Leo? Professor Leo of the University of Chicago." ”

"Of course. "There were all biology professors, and with a slight turn of their heads, they connected Professor Leo of the University of Chicago to his life. The top circle of biology is so big, especially the top people in a certain field, there are often only one or two people, and the books and papers you read are all people's names, even if you don't have to remember them, you can always remember them.

"What does it have to do with Professor Leo, and what comment did he make?" Professor Cai was a little worried, because he had met Professor Leo, so the impact was even more profound.

All technology-led industries are easy to give birth to wonderful, because the more profound the requirements of the industry, the lower the requirements for the so-called "sensible", the scientific research field is the industry with the highest technical indicators, after the screening of undergraduates, masters and doctors, the sensible will not be the basic index for a long time, Professor Leo is even more strange in the wonderful, Professor Cai still remembers his face-to-face criticism of a scholar at the conference site, "****" is extremely proficient in using it at one time, and the sentences composed are also quite impactful.

Dean Liu smiled: "This time is a good thing. Yang Rui's publisher, Norton Press, showed Yang Rui's manuscript to Professor Leo, who gave a very high evaluation and published it in a special journal...... He wanted us to show him a copy of the manuscript. ”

"He didn't even read Yang Rui's original manuscript, and he ran from the United States to China?"

Cecil's explanation is probably that he is a soldier who is fast, in short, he is from New York University Press, and now he wants to help Yang Rui publish this "Genomics". In his words, the book recommended by Professor Leo can be published without reading it. Dean Liu's expression was subtle.

The survival situation of university presses in the United States is not good, but in the eyes of Chinese, the name of New York University Press is obviously much louder than Norton Press.

And this kind of competition makes people feel indescribable.

"It's a foreigner again. Professor Wang Yong snorted softly.

Xu Zhengping looked over and said, "This is Norton's person, named Linden." ”

"Norton is also willing to publish Yang Rui's book, right?"

"Definitely, it's not easy to fly from the United States to China, and I won't play around with you. ”

"There was 10 minutes to go at one o'clock. Dean Liu looked at his watch, and said happily and complainingly: "Yang Rui, this guy, at this time, he still has to get stuck." ”
