Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

"It's twelve o'clock. If you want to go, hurry up." Dean Liu took the lead, greeted everyone, and went out immediately. That posture is the so-called posture that I don't care if you go or not. .

Others went out one after another, some moved swiftly, some dawdled, after all, not everyone cared so much about Yang Rui like Dean Liu.

A group of people rushed to the cafeteria one after another, it was meal time, Professor Cai simply invited everyone to eat together, the food in the cafeteria was just enough to eat.

After a while, an American walked into the cafeteria, ignorant like a stupid deer, and sat on a free table under the gaze of the students. His translator bought a few bottles of Arctic Ocean soda and put them on the table , wait quietly.

"Is this American from Norton Publishing?" Professor Cai finished his meal in two or three bites, put down his chopsticks, and stared at the golden-blue-eyed man.

"How about I go ask?" Professor Lu Yueping is also impatient.

Dean Liu hesitated and said: "No, I don't know what's going on. What if people don't like being disturbed? We haven't figured out what kind of temper this foreign publisher has."

For Chinese scholars, it is not the first time that a book is published in a foreign country, but it is definitely more important than the beginning of the world. Among other things, it first acknowledges the author's originality.

For example, for the same works on genetics or genetics, some authors have already written books in China, but it is difficult for them to publish a pamphlet abroad. The reason is simple. The "Genetics" written by him in China ” or “Genetics”, citing too many foreign materials is too complicated, so that they can’t be marked, or they don’t want to mark it at all, which is equivalent to copying the content of foreign scholars and co-authoring a book.

In China, such works can be marked with "edited author", but there is no relevant system in foreign countries. .`

In the final analysis, there are quite a lot of people who can create a few pages of theory, but if they want to create a book, Chinese scholars will encounter various problems.

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

Especially in schools and scientific research institutes, at the level of professors or researchers, it is not too difficult to write a book that is listed in the country, which makes writing a book like those worthless certificates, and it starts to become boring. On the one hand, everyone needs a book to prove themselves, just like a certificate to prove themselves, on the other hand, a worthless certificate lacks the power to show off.

Publishing monographs abroad, for Chinese scholars, has the magical effect of removing corruption and keeping clean. It is like a judicial exam or an accountant certificate. Everyone knows that the exam is difficult, and everyone has to spend a lot of energy and time. But after passing the exam, it is very convenient to show off.

Things that are easier to do are despised, and things that are harder to do are more valued. The values ​​​​of academia are generally the same.

Dean Liu was very concerned about Yang Rui's opportunity to publish abroad, and looked at his watch anxiously, muttering to himself, "Why hasn't Yang Rui come here yet, it's almost time."

Xu Zhengping looked at his watch and said, "The appointment is at one o'clock, and there is still half an hour left."

"By the way, Old Xu, go and entertain him. Have you seen him? There is only half an hour left, and Yang Rui still hasn't come." Dean Liu was afraid that he would neglect the guys from Norton Publishing House.

Xu Zhengping didn't move, and said with some doubts: "I met the representative of Norton Publishing House yesterday,

It doesn't seem to be this one. "

"Isn't the representative of Norton Publishing House American?" The person next to him looked at the blonde foreigner very strangely, as if there was only one person in the United States.

Xu Zhengping coughed twice, and said: "The one who came yesterday seems to have green eyes, but today the one with blue eyes is not so tall, but a little shorter and fatter."

"No." Dean Liu felt a little regretful, and thought about it: "Let me go say hello and see what I do."

He was also a little worried that this foreigner would affect the people of Norton Publishing House. Although they were all very important foreign guests, their importance was different.

Professor Cai and others watched as Dean Liu tidied up his clothes and went to chat with foreigners with his chest held high.

As a middle-aged and elderly cadre, Dean Liu's facial expression is very vivid. I saw him first smile, then surprise, then doubt, and then ecstasy and worry. He just sat down and chatted enthusiastically with the other party.

"Our Dean Liu is very suitable for acting in drama." A professor who likes art commented on Dean Liu very artistically.

Academician Cai picked up the teacup in front of him with a smile, and looked at his watch subconsciously.

At 12 o'clock, Yang Rui still didn't come.

Others are also keeping an eye on time.

"Would you like to call Yang Rui?" Professor Wang Yong was also a little anxious, as if the elders were complaining about the younger generation, and said, "Yang Rui also, I don't know why I came here earlier for such an important matter."

"I didn't notify the department in advance, otherwise, we can help entertain." Director Qin Xun of the office cleared the responsibility.

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

A few minutes later, Dean Liu returned to the crowd briskly.

"You guys definitely couldn't think of it, you definitely couldn't think of it!" Dean Liu spoke three minutes faster than usual.

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

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

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

"It's kind of like it, but it's not right." Dean Liu laughed, and then lowered his voice slightly, and said, "This is indeed from the publishing house, but not from Norton Publishing House."

"Hey, didn't that come to look for Yang Rui?"

"I came here to find Yang Rui." Dean Liu smiled proudly and said, "Do you remember Professor Leo? Professor Leo from the University of Chicago."

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

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

All technology-led industries are prone to strange things, because the more sophisticated the industry, the lower the requirements for the so-called "sensible", and the scientific research field is the industry with the highest technical indicators. After the screening of undergraduates, masters and doctors , Sensibility and mixing have long been no longer the basic indicators, and Professor Leo is even more of a wonderful thing. Professor Cai still remembers his face-to-face criticism of a scholar at the meeting. "****" was used very skillfully once. , The sentences formed 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. Actually, this Mr. Cecil came to the door after reading Professor Leo's article, and besides...he wanted us to show him a copy of the original manuscript."

"He came to China from the United States before he had read Yang Rui's manuscript?" The professors present were stunned.

"Cecile's explanation is probably a noble soldier. In short, he is a member of New York University Press, and now he wants to help Yang Rui publish this "Genomics". In his words, the book recommended by Professor Leo is not necessary. You can publish it after reading it." Dean Liu's expression was very delicate.

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

And this kind of competition makes people feel indescribable.

"There's another foreigner here." Professor Wang Yong whispered.

Xu Zhengping looked over and said, "This is Norton's man, Lin Deng."

"Norton is also willing to offer Yang Rui?"

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

"It's one minute and one o'clock." Dean Liu looked at his watch, he was both happy and complaining: "Yang Rui, it's this time, and he still has to get stuck."
