Chapter 608: Textbook

"Director, there are two people who claim to be the editors of Huaxia Health Publishing House, and they said that they have made an appointment with you to visit at this time, do you want him to come in?"

On the phone, the nurse at the entrance of the neurosurgery ward asked in a low voice.

Tian Lu was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered a meeting that had been arranged a long time ago, and hurriedly looked up at the time, it was indeed half past ten o'clock, and then nodded and said, "Okay, let them in." ”

Not long after putting down the phone, there was a knock on the door, and a man and a woman pushed the door and walked in.

"Hello Professor Tian!"

Seeing Tian Lu get up and greet him, the middle-aged man who was relatively young immediately took a few steps forward, stretched out his right hand and respectfully greeted: "I am Zhang Yuan, the director of the textbook editing office of Huaxia Health Publishing House, who called you last week, and this is Ma Qianqian, the planning editor of our editorial room, I'm sorry to disturb your work." ”

This planning editor is not very old, only thirty-four or five years old, but perhaps because of his profession, his temperament is quite calm, and when he shakes hands with Tian Lu, he is also down-to-earth and generous, and there is no restraint and nervousness of ordinary people.

"Hehe, please sit down, you two. ”

After getting to know the two of them, Tian Lu smiled slightly and invited them to sit down, then stood up and asked, "I'm sorry, I was too busy last week, so I can only let you wait for a few days." By the way, what's the drink? I only have plain water, instant coffee, and tea bags. ”

It seemed that Tian Lu was going to pour water for the two of them personally, but they were naturally polite again and again, and finally asked for two glasses of white water.

After putting two glasses of water in front of the guests, Tian Lu also sat down and said with a smile: "Then let's go straight to the topic, Director Zhang said on the phone that he wanted to invite me to participate in the compilation of our teaching materials, right?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yuan immediately owed, took out a book with a blue cover from his leather bag and handed it to Tian Lu, then nodded and said, "According to our club's plan, next year will 。。。。。。 Oh no. It should be that a new round of textbook revision and publication will be launched this year, and we would like to invite you to participate in the compilation of the new edition of the textbook. ”

"Hmm. ”

Nodding, Tian Lu sighed slightly and then asked with a smile, "What version of our textbook is now?"

When talking about specific things, Director Zhang consciously closed his mouth and looked at the editor Ma who had always been like a follower, and she nodded and immediately said: "Now the eighth edition is ready to be revised, and if it is republished, it will be the ninth edition!"

"Tenth Edition?"

Tian Lu was stunned again when he heard this. After losing his mind for a moment, he reacted, and sighed in a low voice: "It's the tenth edition, hehe, I remember that when we were in school, we used the fifth edition。。。。。。 ”

As a graduate of Huaguo Medical College, Tian Lu is certainly no stranger to Huaxia Health Publishing House. In fact, almost all undergraduate medical school students in the country will not be unfamiliar with this publishing house. This is because when you go to school, except for public basic courses such as politics and English, almost all other basic medical courses and professional courses use the textbooks of this publishing house!

In the field of medical publishing, Huaxia Health Publishing House is a well-deserved boss, like Luo Xiaoying's Kyoto Medical Science and Technology Publishing House, which is simply not worth mentioning in front of this behemoth.

It is said that when he received this call from Zhang Yuan last week, Tian Lu was also a little excited.

Huaxia Health Publishing House is the largest and most powerful publishing house in China, publishing countless medical books every year. However, to say that the most famous, the highest sales, and the most influential are undoubtedly the textbooks of clinical, stomatology, laboratory, nursing and other undergraduate majors.

This is a set of books that have influenced the lives of Chinese doctors!

It can be said that all physicians in China have started their contact with the miraculous discipline of medicine from this set of textbooks, and will continue to use the knowledge it teaches them in the next few decades until they completely end their careers。。。。。。

Like the professional committees of the Chinese Medical Association, each textbook of the Huaxia Health Publishing House has a special editorial board, which is divided into editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief and ordinary editorial board according to the role of each person in the compilation of the textbook, and a considerable number of these people overlap with the professional committee of the Chinese Medical Association!

For the vast majority of university professors or clinicians, it is also a great honor to be on this editorial board!

The same is true for Taro.

To this day, Tian Lu still remembers it clearly. When I was in college, I used to look at the list of committees on the first few pages of the textbook in a daze, and imagined what it would be like for me to become one of them。。。。。。。

"Our textbooks are revised every five years, and one version is replaced. ”

Hearing Tian Lu's exclamation clearly, Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "If you calculate the time, Professor Tian should have studied at the beginning of this century, and in that case, it should indeed be the fifth edition of the textbook." ”

"Hmm. ”

Nodding, Tian Lu pondered for a moment before asking, "Then I want to ask." Which textbook would the publisher want me to participate in? When did it start? What are the specific things I need to be responsible for? Also, are there any specific rules on the way of writing and so on?"

After Tian Lu's series of questions were asked, Zhang Yuan immediately gave Xia Qianqian a look. The other party immediately nodded, and said: "Professor Tian, we hope that you can participate in the compilation of two textbooks in this round, one is surgery, and the other is neurology! We would like to ask you to be the associate editor-in-chief of both books, of which the book on surgery is responsible for the compilation and coordination of the chapter on neurosurgery. ”

"The start time should be in May, because it takes a process to determine the list of members of the editorial board, and the editorial board will definitely hold a meeting, and what everyone is responsible for at that time, as well as our writing style, etc., will be determined at the meeting. ”

briefly introduced the matter, and Xia Qianqian's simple and capable style immediately won the favor of Tian Lu. However, good feelings are good feelings, after listening to Xia Qianqian's introduction, Tian Lu still frowned and pondered.

After seeing Tian Lu's reaction, Zhang Yuan and Xia Qianqian looked at each other, and they were a little uneasy in their hearts.

As the department of the publishing house in charge of the production of textbooks, Zhang Yuan and Xia Qianqian are not the kind of editors who have never seen the world, in fact, they meet countless big-name experts every year. And because of the special xing of the publication, they almost never suffered from the rejection of the other party. So according to the usual experience, if the other party has an opinion, it can only be that he is dissatisfied with the position assigned to him.

However, that's already an associate editor-in-chief!

Neurology is still mainly a textbook with the introduction of various diseases as the main content, and the treatment of neurosurgery is only a small part of it, so according to the convention, the editor-in-chief must be a neurologist. As for surgery. General surgery is the most important thing, and neurosurgery is just a chapter! You know, surgery is a big course, and it is also one of the most important courses for all clinical medical students, how difficult is it to be the associate editor of this textbook?

Tian Lu was invited to be the deputy editor-in-chief of the two textbooks. On the one hand, because of the other party's status as the chairman-elect and academician, it is definitely inappropriate to be an ordinary editorial board, and on the other hand, it is also for long-term consideration in the future, after all, everyone understands that with Tian Lu's age, he will probably be one of the most influential doctors in China in the next thirty years.

But that doesn't mean that Taro qualifies as editor-in-chief。。。。。。

Zhang Yuan and Xia Qianqian were a little worried.

If it were an ordinary professor who was dissatisfied with his position, the editors would certainly not back down, and if necessary, they would even go so far as to remove the other person from the list of the editorial board! There has never been a shortage of such examples in the past. Sometimes, for example, if someone on the editorial board is not present, many hard-line editors will even deal with it in this way, so to speak, they are quite strong in this regard.

But for a doctor at the level of Tian Lu, the editors would never dare to do this.

If Tian Lu really doesn't want to accept the position of deputy editor-in-chief and only wants to be the editor-in-chief, I'm afraid the editors will really have a headache. After all, serving as an editorial board member is also a way to improve academic status, but for Tian Lu, who has reached the apex of neurosurgeons in China. How many benefits do you get even if you are the editor-in-chief?

Looking at Tian Lu who was contemplating worriedly, Zhang Yuan and Xia Qianqian could only wait for each other's response silently.

I thought about it for a moment. ”

After a long time, Tian Lu finally shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid I really can't participate in your editorial board this time!"

"Huh? Why?"

Neither of them thought that they would hear such an answer, Xia Qianqian suddenly stared at a pair of big eyes, and asked in surprise: "Professor Tian, is it because you are the deputy editor-in-chief?" The editors-in-chief are all respected old academicians or professors in the field of general surgery and neurology, and they are all former chairmen, so they 。。。。。。 Ugh!"

Just as she was talking excitedly, Xia Qianqian was suddenly pulled by Zhang Yuan's arm. Suddenly I was shocked, and I immediately shut up. Perhaps because of Tian Lu's age, Xia Qianqian forgot his identity for a while, and behaved a little out of shape.

Ignoring Zhang Yuan's annoyance and Xia Qianqian's annoyance, Tian Lu smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, it's not the editor-in-chief or deputy editor-in-chief, it's really that I'm not suitable for participating in the compilation of the current textbook, maybe it's the right time for you to write the eleventh or twelfth edition!"

"Huh? Why?"

This time, it was not only Xia Qianqian, but even Zhang Yuan was nervous, and asked for the first time.

"Because of the difference in academic philosophy!"

Tian Lu spread his hands and said with a very calm smile: "Whether it is in the field of surgery or neurology, many of my ideas and current knowledge systems are different, and many places are even more incompatible, so if I write a textbook, I will either write a book by Duli, or I will be the editor-in-chief and have absolute rights, otherwise it will be meaningless to join in, and it will only bring you more trouble." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the two who looked at each other to reply, Tian Lu continued to smile: "So, I think it is more appropriate for our cooperation to be placed in five years, or even ten years, as for now, I can only say sorry。。。。。。。 ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Cold, headache terrible, the text may be messy, let's take a look at it.
