Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 687: Chapter 381: This is Also a Kind of Skill!_2

"Doesn’t Huang Zhong have the power to crush anything, isn’t it natural for him to be elected as an academician?"

"He can teach us life experiences..."

Among the many mocking voices, some people also introduced Huang Zhong, a famous professor at Nancheng University with a certain level of fame, "Huang Zhong is a very outstanding professor who researches particle mathematics. He’s only 49 years old this year, making him the second-youngest among the newly added academicians."

"However..."

"I can’t understand his achievements!"

"Zhao Yi has just completed his particle mathematics achievements, but he was elected as an academician based on analytical number theory, so can Huang Zhong’s particle mathematics catch up with Zhao Yi’s?"

The implication was, ’Zhao Yi’s extra achievements are stronger than the fellow academicians’.

That was probably the reason why other people gave up participating in the additional election. Being elected as an academician in the same term as Zhao Yi was not a good thing, as individual achievements could be dug out and easily lead to public controversy.

During Zhao Yi’s interview, the reporter also asked about Huang Zhong.

The reporter asked if he knew Huang Zhong and asked Zhao Yi to make a comment. Zhao Yi nodded and said, "I met Professor Huang at Jiangzhou University. He is a very outstanding expert in particle mathematics, and his research on the electromagnetic field and magnetic force relationship among micro-particles is very unique."

Afterward, he added, "There are very few scholars in China who conduct research in particle mathematics, and even fewer who study the theory of inter-particle magnetic forces. There are not many who can compare with Professor Huang."

This was a very high praise.

The reporter was surprised by Zhao Yi’s high praise and immediately asked, "What about you, in comparison?"

"I can’t compare."

Zhao Yi was very sure, and said with a smile, "I also research particle mathematics, but there are boundaries between disciplines and directions. If you know my report, you should know that there is no mention of force, at least not yet." freёwebnovel.com

"When theoretical physics involves the four fundamental forces, it becomes very complicated. My next plan is to incorporate gravity into the theory, while Professor Huang Zhong studies the magnetic force between particles. We are not in the same direction, and in the theoretical research of inter-particle magnetic force, he ranks among the top in both China and internationally."

This evaluation was not excessive.

There are many researchers in particle mathematics internationally, but particle mathematics is a niche discipline, which includes various research directions. Research on inter-particle magnetic force is one of these directions, and being able to publish world-class achievements in this area certainly means standing at the top of inter-particle magnetic force theoretical research.

...

Zhao Yi finally finished dealing with the interview, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that for more than a week, he was constantly in a state of congratulations and interviews.

He hurriedly returned to his dormitory to rest and didn’t even want to go out the door.

When he reached the second floor of the faculty dormitory building, he just ran into Qian Hong who was coming down the stairs. She was hugging a stack of books with a delighted expression on her face.

She seemed to be lost in thought and didn’t even look up at people. freeweɓnøvel.com

"Qian Hong?" Zhao Yi called out to her, jokingly, "What happened? Why are you so happy? Is someone chasing after you?"

Qian Hong said helplessly, "There are enough people chasing after me to form a long queue."

"These people nowadays have no taste."

"You, get lost!"

Qian Hong glanced at him discontentedly and pouted, "Isn’t it because of you?"

"Me?"

Zhao Yi pointed at himself and thought logically, "Me? My new achievements? Make you so happy? But... I succeeded, you are happy for me, although it’s correct to say it out loud, in reality, it’s mostly just lip service, right? Or is it..."

He pointed at Qian Hong and then at himself, then looked surprised and exclaimed, "Confession?"

"You wish!"

Qian Hong muttered an insult and explained, "It’s your book, your book!"

"Which book?"

"Particle Boundary Theory!" Qian Hong laughed, "Just now, the person in charge of the publishing house sent a message saying that the number of orders for your book has greatly increased, with domestic universities and institutions ordering, and the overseas edition is also selling well. Just the orders from Princeton alone amount to hundreds of copies."

"Really?"

Zhao Yi was not surprised, but his book selling well was indeed good news, so the reason Qian Hong was happy was... money?

That’s right!

In fact, one can’t make much money from selling books in China; it is only when the order volume reaches hundreds of thousands that the copyright fees will be considerable.

It’s different overseas.

The selling price of the English version of "Particle Boundary Theory" is $90. As long as the sales exceed 10,000 copies, the profit is very substantial.

This is because the book markets in China and abroad are different.

China does not pay much attention to copyright issues, and technical books are difficult to sell at high prices. Technical books and thick foreign masterpieces, water words and picture children’s stories—these cost no more than the price of printing in the eyes of ordinary people. If the price is too high, it would be difficult to sell.

Foreign professional books are priced very high, and technical books often cost more than a hundred dollars. A price of $90 is quite conscientious.

"It seems that in the future, we should write more professional English technical books."

"That’s the way to make money!"

"Especially with someone else ghostwriting, you hardly need to do much work." Zhao Yi happily thought about it and felt pleased too.

Soon enough,

Zhao Yi didn’t care much about the sales of his new book, because he remembered the work at the Biomedical Research Institute. Compared to pharmaceutical patent sharing, the speed of making money by selling books was really too slow.
