Any person must be clear about his or her position

This so-called positioning is not only to be clear about what you like to do and what you want to do, but also to be clear about what you can do and what you can do. To put it bluntly, it's good to have dreams, but you have to consider whether you have the ability to achieve them!

Just like Tian Yue wants to go to the United States to do a residency in neurosurgery。。。。。。

"No problem, I'll prepare for the exam!"

That night, without waiting for Tian Lu to tell his sister the possibility and consequences of only identifying one target, Tian Yue nodded, and said quite calmly.

"Satsuki, listen to me。。。。。。 Uh, what do you say? Preparing for the exam?"

It took two seconds for Tian Lu to react, and he was stunned all of a sudden!

"Of course."

Tian Yue blinked, glanced at his brother a little strangely, and said angrily: "I'm not you, you can be so arrogant that you don't leave any way out, and you don't consider any other professions, it will definitely be difficult for me to become a neurosurgeon after going there, of course I have to prepare a way back."

"Ahem! Cough! ”

Looking at his sister's natural expression, Tian Lu was stunned, and couldn't help coughing twice in embarrassment, thinking that he would experience an extremely difficult persuasion, but he didn't expect the result to be like this!

Compared with when she first entered the school, and even compared with two years ago, Tian Yue is already very different, especially after just going on a trip around the world with her brother, not only has she seen Tian Lu's status in the hearts of doctors from all over the world. At the same time, in the communication with these top academic institutions, she also deeply discovered her own shortcomings!

Both in the classroom and at school. Tian Yue can be called excellent, but if you go out。。。。。。

After Tian Lu was silent for a long time, Tian Lu gritted his teeth, and then asked, "Then, why have you been chasing me like a ghost all this time, and let me arrange the most likely hospital internship for you or something?"

"One yard to one yard!"

Tian Yue said confidently: "Although I have to consider other possibilities, I still hope to be like my brother and go outside to see the world." Isn't it right to try as hard as you can?"

"Uh。。。。。。"

Tian Lu was speechless again.

After a long time, Tian Lu waved his hand weakly and said, "Okay, I'll try my best to help you arrange it." But then again, if you're going to take the Ph.D., are you still going to take the neurosurgery exam? Have you thought about it from the school and the tutor?"

"Neurosurgery, of course!"

Tian Yue nodded without hesitation, then leaned over with a smile, and said with a ghostly smile: "As for the candidate for the mentor." Hehe, I still want to hear your opinion on this matter, brother. ”

"Then I'll take my Ph.D."

Tian Lu waved his hand and said categorically. Although Tian Lu didn't plan to recruit a doctor of neurosurgery directly from the very beginning, he only accepted a master's and doctor's degree after graduating from the bachelor's degree, but for his favorite sister. What's an exception?

"I won't do it!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing Tian Lu's suggestion, Tian Yue immediately shook her head and refused outright!

Tian Lu's face suddenly darkened, and Yin asked with a calm face, "Why don't you do it?" Can't your brother and I be your mentors? Look for yourself, is there a better doctoral supervisor in China than me?"

This is not Tian Lu deliberately saying big things in front of his sister. Even if you don't consider the help of the system, in terms of Tian Lu's current strength and academic status. Not to mention in China, it is not easy to find a better mentor than him in the world.

"But, you're my brother!"

Tian Yue pouted, her head shook like a rattle and said: "How can you say that we are also brothers and sisters, if you are admitted to your graduate school, it will be a master and apprentice, a lifetime away, I won't do it!"

This reason of my sister once again made Tian Lu stunned!

"No way!"

After a long while, Tian Lu slapped the table, pointed at Tian Yue with trembling fingers and said, "This reason is dismissed!" If you want to do neurosurgery, you can only take my Ph.D. exam, otherwise it's up to me to clean you up。。。。。。 ”

。。。。。。

After uniting his parents and parents, Tian Lu finally made his sister grin and agree to apply for his doctoral exam, and then the big stone in his heart was finally completely put down.

The next morning, Tian Lu received a call from the United States.

"Professor Tian, we have already recorded and typeset the two books, would you like to take another look at them before printing?"

Abby's voice was quite excited, and she said loudly.

"Going to print?"

Tian Lu was suddenly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "How can it be so fast?"

Abby smiled: "It's not fast, in fact, I started the typesetting work before I went to Huaguo to sign a contract with you, and if you don't worry about the content of your two books, there are almost no mistakes in the text, so there are a lot of fewer processes, which is already slow."

Generally speaking, the most troublesome thing about publishing a book is to revise the content, including typos, etc., but the articles generated by the system certainly have no problems in this regard, and Tian Lu's strong requirements cannot be changed word by word, so if it is just a recording work, a week is enough!

For the two books that were signed with great difficulty, Aisi Company paid enough attention to it, and at the same time as the recording and layout were carried out, the binding design and other work were also carried out together, so that everything could be prepared in just ten days, and now it is waiting for Tian Lu to nod and print.

After Abby explained, Tian Lu was very satisfied.

If you are serious about it, because the two books have been on the Internet for too long, and because of the continuous publication of related research papers in the past two years, and the increasing number of references to them, it can be said that the influence has reached a considerable level. But for academic publications, the influence on the Internet is greater. After all, it is still inferior to paper publications.

Even though it is the age of the Internet, there are still the vast majority of people who are used to reading books!

"Since you haven't changed. I won't look at it, but 。。。。。。 ”

Tian Lu asked a lot of questions in one breath: "How many copies are there for the first printing?" Is the Chinese version published at the same time? Also, when will the sample book be sent to me?"

Although high-end papers have been published one after another over the years, it is the first time for Tian Lu to publish a book, which makes him a little excited.

The two books "Blood-Brain Barrier" and "Epilepsy Surgery" are so important to Tian Lu!

These two books are different from ordinary treatises in many ways.

For example, the author is only Tian Lu. There are no co-authors, which in a sense is completely a reflection of one's position in the academic field!

Another example is the content, in addition to the normal knowledge content, it also contains a large number of summaries, assumptions, and academic inferences, rather than just introducing the current research progress or possible results as in many books.

Because of the limitations of the technology of the times, some content that is too advanced can only be abandoned. But under the premise that the technology can be reached now, the knowledge content of the system has been selected by him one by one, and it can be said that these two books are the culmination of two professional fields!

There has never been any doubt about the influence of these two books in the future, but how quickly they can be popularized can indeed determine many things。。。。。。

"The words of the first printing. The English version is 5,000 copies, and the Chinese version is 1,000 copies each in simplified and traditional Chinese! ”

Abby replied with a smile: "I'm afraid it's difficult to publish English and Chinese at the same time, and it will take a little two weeks for Chinese to be full, and I will send you a sample book in both languages at that time."

"Well, very good!"

After hearing the specific print run. Taro is quite satisfied.

Books by professional xing can't be compared to popular bestsellers, especially books like the blood-brain barrier and epilepsy surgery, which are extremely specific to xing. The number of target groups is already pitiful. For example, in the case of Treasure Island and Hong Kong Island, which use traditional Chinese, the number of neurosurgeons is not large, and even fewer usually perform epilepsy surgery, and if you do not consider the potential population, the print run of 1,000 copies is enough, and as for the English version, the number of 5,000 copies will not be used up in a short time.

As for Simplified Chinese, because of the constraints of the domestic publishing system, it is really not easy to go public so quickly, and even if it is listed, the number of 1,000 is basically the same.

After a slight pause, Tian Lu then asked, "What about the pricing?" Have you figured it out?"

"It's out."

Abby hurriedly replied, "The English version is a little more than six hundred dollars, but the Chinese version is priced at two hundred and ninety-nine yuan according to your requirements, not more than three hundred!"

When she said this, Abby's tone was clearly filled with a depressed taste.

Medical books, especially those that integrate many of the latest scientific research results like these two books, have always been very expensive, and it can be said that the value of knowledge is fully reflected. After all, a bestseller that sells hundreds of thousands of copies can sell for tens of dollars, and it is normal for a professional xing book to sell only a few thousand, and at most tens of thousands of copies, set a price of a few hundred dollars.

But compared with the price of the Chinese version, can Abby not be depressed?

However, Tian Lu obviously didn't think so, he was quite satisfied with the pricing of Aisi Publishing Group, and nodded with a smile: "Miss Abby, if you look at the printing cost of the book alone, even this pricing will not make you lose money, don't forget, neither of my two books has any editing costs, and the most important thing is the English version, don't always worry about it, right?"

This is already the case, Abby can only resign herself to her fate and say: "Since we have signed a contract with you, we will definitely fulfill the contract, Professor Tian, you can rest assured!"

"Alright, alright."

Obviously hearing Abby's somewhat complaining tone, Tian Lu said with some amusement: "The cooperation with you is very pleasant, in the next three years, I may write a few books, if your company is interested at that time, we can continue to cooperate。。。。。。"
