"Then trouble Mr. Linden, and if you need it, you can come to me again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Yang Rui turned his head slightly, and then agreed to Lin Deng's words.

Lyndon smiled understandingly, "Okay, I'll definitely find a way to hold a grand publishing briefing for you." ”

Yang Rui smiled and shook hands with Lin Deng.

When a scholar is in the limelight, it is not called showing off, but reporting work.

If scholars can't even be in the limelight, then how can they get mixed up, as far as Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory is also supported by Peking University's funds, if Yang Rui can't be in the limelight, this laboratory will either not be able to support it, or it will have to be replaced.

Of course, the American academic community has higher requirements for fame, and the publishing house is probably used to giving the author all kinds of work to get fame, so Lyndon is familiar with finding a hotel, making arrangements, and then going to find schools and colleges.

Peking University is indispensable.

Originally, publishing a book was a very prestigious thing for Chinese.

The so-called virtue is too high, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech, and it is said that it is three immortals. Being able to publish a book, in the eyes of the Chinese, is a statement.

And in China in the 80s, in this era of inferiority, self-confidence and turmoil, it was possible to publish a book in the United States, and the meaning on the surface and the charm in the secret are enough to make people endlessly evocative.

The reporters of Beiyijing TV station went out again, with cameras and camcorders, while taking pictures of Yang Rui, and at the same time taking rare materials for the documentary.

According to the plan of Beijing TV Station, Yang Rui's documentary is actually basically completed, and Director Wang has even started post-editing, only waiting for next year's Nobel Prize nomination before broadcasting. At that time, it should also be the time when Yang Rui's news value is the highest.

It's a pity that Yang Rui doesn't live according to the script of Director Wang or the TV station, so Director Wang can only set up the camera while lamenting the editing time he wasted.

2 p.m.

Teachers, officials, and leaders who entered the venue one after another blocked the small banquet hall of the Great Wall Hotel with only a small passage.

Yang Rui also looked at the decoration of the Great Wall Hotel with some curiosity.

By the standards of the 80s, the Great Wall Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in China, and it was also the first joint venture hotel of the Sheraton Group in China, with a height of 21 floors, built according to the standard of five stars, and also charged according to the standard of five stars.

Nowadays, most Chinese have heard of the Great Wall Hotel, but not many have come in.

It's like a five-star hotel in Mozambique, where foreigners come for the first time and prefer to stay at a higher price, while locals can only look up to it.

Yang Rui had been to the Great Wall Hotel, but it was the first time he had entered its banquet hall.

It is a daily booking for meetings and is as compact as a wedding weekend in later generations.

Norton Press didn't know what channel to take, and only in time to grab a room that could accommodate more than 200 people.

Obviously, this works very well.

All the invited guests came to the scene, especially some officials from relevant departments, who also took time out of their busy schedules and chose to go to the Great Wall Hotel to be corrupt.

If this kind of banquet is held in other hotels, there will be many people who will want to come, but it will certainly not be so much, especially if it is just a publication presentation.

Yang Rui sat down at the table in front of him, with several officials from the Ministry of Education and the publishing house.

There are 20 tables in the ballroom, and on each table, three English editions of Genomics are placed horizontally for guests to enjoy. And next to "Genomics", there is a clear reminder: please read it and put it back.

"It's amazing, a person wrote such a book?" Director Ma from the Ministry of Education picked it up and looked at it for a while, gently put it in front of him, patted the cover with his hand, and commented: "The paper is really good, the printing is also colorful, and this picture is much higher than our level." ”

"Thank you. Yang Rui was sitting next to him, and he didn't know how to answer this evaluation of "good paper" and "good printing".

The official from the publishing house next to him laughed and said, "Look at the price of this book, 130 is US dollars, if we have so much money, you say how good it can be printed, it will be almost gold leaf." ”

"Isn't the Oxford Advanced Dictionary published by our translation publishing house also printed well? Especially in the past few years, there is a basic, and Mr. Liu proofreads it very seriously. The same official from the publishing house is still a little proud to talk about this.

Director Ma flipped through the book to find the price of the book, confirmed the number, and asked in surprise: "Is it really fake, a book sells for $130? ”

"Books in the United States are so expensive. Yang Rui interjected with a smile, lest endless questions come out again.

"What about the Chinese version? How much does the Chinese version sell?" Director Ma asked Yang Rui, and then looked at the publishing house official next to him.

"Such a thick book, at least 13 yuan. The people from the publishing house were upset and asked Yang Rui, "Have you found a good publishing house?" Do you want us to help publish it?"

"Peking University Press is estimated to come out, I'm not sure, just wait a minute. Yang Rui preferred to hand it over to Shi Gui's publishing house, so he just dragged it.

The person from the publishing house just asked, but Yang Rui didn't immediately agree, so he didn't say more. After all, it was just an academic book, and if it weren't for the English version, he wouldn't even need to ask.

In China, academic books are almost impossible to sell if they are not included in the textbook plan, of course, the same is true abroad, but the foreign textbook plans are drawn up by various schools, which gives the publishing house a certain living space, while in China, the plan is drawn up from the top down, and the new textbooks want to be included in it, which is extremely difficult, and naturally, the profit also comes from the level of public relations, not the level of textbooks.

In this case, the publishing house has little interest in the publication of academic books, and even the textbooks written by well-known professors often need to be self-financed, that is, the publisher first pays the cost of the book number, the printing cost and the profit it deserves, and then finds a way to sell it itself.

Yang Rui's book is a little different, after all, there are a lot of gimmicks he carries with him now, but that's all.

Director Ma listened with some interest and asked with a smile: "Is the Chinese version going to be translated, or do you have a manuscript in Chinese?"

"The Chinese manuscript still needs to be revised, right? "Yang Rui really can't say that he wrote English first.

In order to write this book, Yang Rui practiced his English well, and it is much more difficult to write a book in English than to write a paper, although it is still indispensable to refer to the original work, but this kind of imitation has always been the only way for the author to learn.

Director Ma stroked his beard and thought about it.

Yang Rui picked up the water cup and pretended to drink water, he would rather no one talk to him.

The middle-aged and elderly cadres in China in the 80s were not good people to chat with.

After a while, Lin Deng came to the front desk, and in bursts of applause, said in English: "Now, I announce that the publication introduction of Genomics written by Mr. Yang Rui of Peking University has officially begun......

There were Chinese interpreters at any time, which attracted even greater applause.

"The Great Wall Hotel, as well as the introduction of foreign publishers, this book is very powerful. Commissioner Ma turned to the other side and bit his ear.

"And the TV and newspaper reporters. The bitten ear gestured to the door and said, "It is said that it is good, otherwise, the professors of the Department of Biology of Peking University would not be able to attend, hmm...... There are a lot of Tsinghua's. ”

"That said, this book is really good. Director Ma nodded slightly.

"What do you think?" the bitten ear noticed something.

Commissioner Ma touched his chin and beard, smiling without saying a word.

"You think of Director Zhu's son. The bitten ear's brain turned and whispered in turn.

Director Ma blinked: "You know?"

"Who doesn't know that Director Zhu's son has been evaluating his job title for a little bit of a job, and he is making up the conditions for promotion recently. ”

"You really know. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Do you think it's appropriate?" Director Ma glanced at Yang Rui, and his voice lowered.

"It's okay, whether it's a translation or an original work, it's a publication, and it doesn't take time to operate, besides, his English version has its own name, and the Chinese version shouldn't care." The one who was bitten in the ear was quite witty and asked a few questions.

Director Ma nodded slowly, and then looked at Yang Rui with a smile.
