Chapter 766

"Mr. Linden, please. Come back to me if you need to." Yang Rui's head turned a little and agreed to Linden's words.

Linden said with a clear smile, "OK, I will try to hold a grand publishing Conference for you."

Yang Rui smiles and shakes hands with Linden.

A scholar in the limelight is not a show off, but a report.

If a scholar can't even show off, how can he survive? Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory is also supported by the funds of Peking University. If Yang Rui can't show off, the laboratory will either not be supported or will be replaced.

Of course, the American academic community has a higher demand for fame. Publishers are probably used to giving authors all kinds of jobs to earn fame. Linden is familiar with finding hotels, making arrangements, and then going to schools and colleges.

Peking University has its own characteristics.

Originally, publishing a book is a matter of great reputation for Chinese people.

The so-called Supreme Master has morality, followed by meritorious service, followed by eloquence, which is called three immortality. To be able to publish a book, in the eyes of the Chinese, is to make a speech.

In the 1980s, in China, in this era of inferiority, self-confidence and turmoil, the book published in the U.S. has a clear meaning and a hidden charm, which is even more memorable.

Reporters from beiyijing TV station went out again with cameras and cameras, taking pictures for Yang Rui and documentaries.

According to the plan of beiyijing TV station, Yang Rui's documentary has been basically completed. Director Wang has even started editing in the later stage, waiting for next year's Nobel Prize nomination. At that time, it should be the time when Yang Rui's news value was the highest.

Unfortunately, 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 and lament his wasted editing time.

2:00 p.m.

The teachers, officials and leaders who came in one after another blocked the small banquet hall of the Great Wall Hotel, leaving only a small passage.

Yang Rui also looks at the decoration of the Great Wall Hotel curiously.

According to the standards of the 1980s, the Great Wall Hotel is the first luxury hotel in China. It is also the first joint venture hotel of Sheraton group in China. The height of the 21st floor is built according to the five-star standard, and the fees are also charged according to the five-star standard.

Nowadays, most Chinese have heard of the Great Wall Hotel, but few of them have come in.

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

Yang Rui has been to the Great Wall Hotel, but it is his first time to enter its banquet hall.

Every day there are all kinds of meetings, which are more compact than the wedding weekend of later generations.

Norton press did not know what channel to take, just in time to grab a room that can accommodate more than 200 people.

Obviously, the effect is very good.

All the invited guests came to the scene, especially some officials of relevant departments, who took time out of their busy schedule and chose to come to the Great Wall Hotel.

If this kind of banquet is held in other hotels, there will be many people willing to attend, but certainly not so many, especially a publishing presentation.

Yang Rui sits 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 banquet hall. On each table, three English versions of genomics are placed horizontally for guests to use. Next to genomics, there is an obvious reminder: please read it and put it back.

"It's amazing that a person wrote such a book?" Director Ma, from the Ministry of education, took a look, gently put it in front of us, patted the cover with his hand, and commented: "the paper is very good, the printing is also colorful, and this picture is much higher than our level."

"Thank you." Yang Rui just sat next to him and didn't know how to answer the evaluation of "good paper" and "good printing".

The official from the publishing house laughed and said, "look at the price of this book. 130 is US dollars. If we have so much money, how good you say it can be printed, it will be gold foil."

"Isn't the Oxford Advanced Dictionary published by our translation press also well printed? Especially in the last few years, there are some basic problems. Mr. Liu proofread them very carefully. " Officials from the publishing house are also a little proud of this.

But director Ma found the price of the book and confirmed the figure. He was surprised and asked, "is it true that a book costs 130 dollars? Americans are the big losers. ""That's how expensive books are in America." Yang Rui put in a word with a smile to avoid endless problems.

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

"It's at least 13 yuan for such a thick book." People from the publishing house bumped and asked Yang Rui, "have you found a good publishing house? Shall we help publish it? "

"It's estimated that Peking University Press will come out. I'm not sure. Just a moment." Yang Rui is more willing to give it to Shi GUI's publishing house, so he just drags it.

People from the Publishing House asked, but Yang Rui didn't agree immediately, so he didn't say any more. After all, it's just an academic book. If it's not for the English version, he doesn't even need to ask.

In China, academic books can hardly be sold if they are not included in the textbook plan. Of course, it is the same in foreign countries. However, foreign textbook plans are drawn up by various schools, which gives publishers a certain living space. In China, plans are drawn up from top to bottom, and it is very difficult and natural for new textbooks to be included, Profits also come from the level of public relations, not the level of teaching materials.

In this case, publishers have little interest in publishing academic books. Even textbooks written by well-known professors often need to be self financing, that is, they first give the publishing house the cost of book number, printing cost and due profit, and then try to sell them by themselves.

Yang Rui's books are somewhat different. After all, there are many gimmicks he carries with him now, but that's all.

Director Ma was interested in listening and asked with a smile, "do you want to translate the Chinese version, or do you have Chinese Manuscripts?"

"The Chinese manuscript still needs to be revised. It's true." Yang Rui really can't say that he wrote English first.

In order to write this book, Yang Rui practiced his English well. It's much more difficult to write a book in English than to write a paper. Although he still has to refer to the original work, this kind of imitation is always the only way for the author to learn.

Director Ma touched his beard and thought about it.

Yang Rui holds up his glass and pretends to drink. He prefers no one to talk to him.

80 The domestic middle-aged and elderly cadres in the s are not good objects for chatting.

After a while, Lin Deng went to the front desk and said in English: "now, I announce that the conference on the publication of genomics, written by Mr. Yang Rui of Peking University, officially begins..."

There were Chinese people translating at any time, which attracted more applause.

"The Great Wall Hotel, and a special person from a foreign publishing house, this book is very powerful." Ma turned to the other side and bit his ear.

"There are also reporters from TV stations and newspapers." The one who was bitten by his ear motioned to the door and said, "it's pretty good. Otherwise, all the biology professors from Peking University can't attend. Well, there are still many Tsinghua professors."

"That is to say, the book is really good." Director Ma nodded slightly.

"What do you think of?" There's something about the bitten ear.

Director Ma touched his chin and moustache, and said nothing.

"You think of director Zhu's son." The brain that is bitten an ear turns, say in a low voice conversely.

Director Ma blinked: "do you know?"

"Who doesn't know that director Zhu's son is still a little short of his working years when he evaluates his professional title. Recently, he is making up the conditions for promotion."

"You do know."

"What do you want to do?"

"Do you think it's appropriate?" Director Ma glances at Yang Rui and his voice is lower.

"It's OK. Both the translated version and the original work are published. It doesn't take much time to operate. Besides, his English version has its own name. The Chinese version should not care." The one who was bitten by the ear put forward several questions tactfully.

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