The leaders of Minzu University are among those who understand policies very well.
This book came out at the perfect time.
It neither eulogizes nor deals with current affairs, but it is a useful tool book for implementing policies.
According to the arrangements from above, all regions will successively open foreign trade and investment promotion departments.
Although this book is titled Business English, it can actually be used as a fool-proof guide to investment negotiation.
Especially the content about avoiding pitfalls, which made the professors from Minzu University and Beijing Foreign Studies University sweat.
Foreign capitalists are so cruel!
The book was completed in just ten days and went through three or four levels of repeated review.
The reason why there is such a big fuss is that this book appeared at such a timely moment.
Many staff members who have been engaged in foreign trade for many years applauded loudly after reading the contents of this book.
I don't know where the instructions came from.
First publication of one million copies!
All government departments and foreign trade investment promotion units at all levels across the country have a copy and are subject to regular assessments!
The publishing house is still Minzu University Press. I guess Minzu University will make a lot of money this time.
In particular, several leaders of Minzu University received a comment from their superiors: their actions were decisive and effective.
Several leaders met together and waved their hands to reward Zhang Hongcheng and Chu Miaohong with a total of 5,000 yuan!
At the same time, Zhang Hongcheng and Chu Miaohong also received a bonus from the foreign affairs department, not much, only 2,500 yuan.
However, the foreign affairs department decided to sign a contract with the couple in advance.
If the couple can come up with such a useful foreign-related reference book, as long as it passes the review of the department, the Foreign Affairs Press will help publish it, and the publishing conditions are actually based on international standards - individuals will receive royalties!
The foreign affairs department also said that this was a beneficial attempt they made in response to the policy of reform and opening up.
This condition was undoubtedly a huge pie falling from the sky for the two of them.
Although the couple is not short of money, who would refuse a large amount of assets with a clear origin?
Especially for Zhang Hongcheng, with the help of Fatty, editing the book was not tiring at all.
(Fatty: Haha, you’re not tired.)
Fortunately, Chu Miaohong quickly selected a target and the fat man didn't need to do too much research.
In her space operating room, there is a 1981 edition of a common textbook for North American medical schools.
It is also a medical textbook with a very small circulation.
Chu Miaohong stuffed the book in front of Zhang Hongcheng as if she were presenting a treasure.
"This book has a very small circulation and was given to me by a doctor friend of mine."
"I like to read this book during my breaks from surgery. It takes me back to my medical school days."
"My dear, I am going to translate this book."
"Do you know why this textbook, which I had high hopes for, has such a small circulation?"
"Because this textbook is based on the work of a certain doctor. This selfless doctor has made all the copyrights of his works available to the public free of charge."
"Free knowledge is simply not in the interest of North American publishers."
"If I translate this book and publish it, I only need to donate one-eighth of my after-tax income to the foundation established by that doctor after his death."
She shook Zhang Hongcheng's arm.
"This way we can earn money in an honest way and also bring advanced medical knowledge to China."
Zhang Hongcheng smiled and grabbed her hand.
"There's one more thing you didn't mention, right? Since it's a translation, those people who worship foreign things can't complain about the personal opinions you've inserted into the book, right?"
Chu Miaohong smiled.
"Of course! Who told them to worship foreign things?"
......
The Spring Festival of the Year of the Sheep is coming soon.
On January 20th, the light snow on the streets of Shanghai turned into icicles after a freezing rain.
From time to time, people fell to the ground in front of Xinhua Bookstore.
Lu Li carefully walked up the steps of the bookstore with the support of her husband.
"I told you I could buy it for you, but you insisted on doing it yourself."
Hearing her husband's complaints, Lu Li smiled and stuck out her tongue.
The baby in her belly is already three months old and the pregnancy is stable. If she is not allowed to go out for a walk, she will soon become moldy.
"Don't complain, I've been very careful all the way."
"My father (father-in-law) also strongly supports my decision to switch to foreign trade. There are so few useful reference books these days."
"You always borrow the wrong book or buy it incorrectly, so I have to come here myself."
Her husband sighed helplessly.
Both his father and wife are very competitive. They think that the family can make great progress by entering the foreign trade system. His father has not been home for half a month, and his wife, who has taken a leave of absence from school to stay at home to take care of her pregnancy, is also unable to stay idle. Who can he turn to for justice?
The Xinhua Bookstore was already packed, especially the social science book section. People inside couldn't squeeze out, and people outside couldn't squeeze in.
The couple stared in amazement as a somewhat familiar man emerged from the crowd, sweating profusely, holding three identical books tightly in his arms.
"What's wrong with you, comrade? Don't you see that no one else has bought it yet? How could you buy three copies by yourself!!!"
"That's right, salesman, you can't do this, or everyone will be dissatisfied!"
But the salesperson had no time to talk to the dissatisfied people. Dozens of arms were stretched out in front of her, and their palms were full of money and books.
All of them are "ZC Edition Business English and Foreign Trade Practice Analysis".
Four yuan a copy, outrageously expensive.
But people still came to grab the books in waves.
Lu Li's husband stopped a man who bought three books in one go. He was a friend of his.
"Xiao Han, what books did you buy? Why did you buy three at once?"
When Xiao Han saw the couple, he smiled hurriedly while trying to prevent himself from being pushed out from in front of the counter.
"Hey, isn't there a document from above? The heads of all commerce and foreign trade offices must be issued a copy of this book, but the first batch of internal copies is only for the heads of the Government Affairs Department."
"My director and two deputy directors sent me to grab the books to keep up with the policy. Hey, comrade, don't squeeze me~!"
Soon, more and more people came into the bookstore, many of whom were purchasing agents or clerks from various units, all coming to help their leaders grab books.
Although my boss will give me a copy later, no one is stupid...
Seeing the huge crowd, Lu Li and her husband had to go home directly for the sake of their unborn baby.
"Hey, you two are back, Lily, there's your package from the capital."
The mother-in-law carefully helped her daughter-in-law into the house.
“It looks like a book.”
"Book?"
Lu Li and her husband looked at each other strangely.
A moment later, Lu Li's cheers came from the living room.
"Sure enough, it's the 'ZC Edition of Business English and Foreign Trade Practice Analysis'. Haha, ZC actually stands for Zhang and Chu. This book is actually the masterpiece of our farm director and Doctor Chu!"
