In this era, knowledge is actually highly monopolized.
Maybe in a few decades, due to the widespread popularity of the Internet and the proliferation of information on the Internet, no one will think that this information is a big deal. It is just a matter of searching and copying and pasting with your finger.
However, in the early 1990s, if you wanted to collect such complete information, you had to read a lot of historical documents and visit libraries and other places for at least a year and a half.
This is still a relatively smooth situation. If it doesn't go well, you will have to go all over the world to collect it, and it will take three to five years. It is no exaggeration.
You even have to personally translate original foreign materials...
You know, you can translate foreign language materials during this period, which can be used as a doctoral thesis!
Therefore, in the future, the amount of information that a certain online keyboard warrior can obtain will far exceed that of experts and scholars of this period.
This is quite scary!
For example: If the Army Publishing House now establishes a project to compile "The Book of Naval History", it may involve more than a dozen editors, dozens of consultants, hundreds of project team members, and even thousands of errand boys.
The horse boy.
And the cost is calculated in millions.
After all, there are relatively few people in China who study foreign military history, and even fewer who specialize in naval history.
Even those who study naval history may be familiar with a certain battle, such as the Battle of Dadonggou or the Battle of Midway, but it is almost impossible to find one that has been studied from beginning to end!
In order to collect complete information, do you even have to go abroad to purchase?
I didn't expect that such a monster would pop up now. But Li Yuan did all this easily? What's especially funny is that he hasn't felt it yet. He thinks this is an ordinary and trivial thing not worth mentioning?
To be honest, only the Military Publishing House can discover the "real value" of this work; only a senior editor like Zhang Hui can see through the "real value" of it at a glance.
If it were any other publishing house, it would be impossible to discover the value of those materials.
To some extent, Zhang Hui has regarded this work as an academic research document.
Therefore, in the eyes of Zhang Hui and Geng Yue, this author is not only full of knowledge, but at least half full of ink, right? How could he not write well? It is absolutely proved that he did it on purpose! He is an unconventional soul!
Such a ridiculous behavior would trigger such a sigh - How can a beautiful woman become a thief?
"Xiao Geng, do you know the origin of the author?" Zhang Hui asked with a smile.
"He is the classmate of Yuan Feng's child Xinxin. He asked Xinxin to submit the manuscript."
Zhang Hui suddenly realized: "That's right. He must be a naughty child."
Geng Yue asked: "Mr. Zhang, what should I do with this work?"
Zhang Hui pondered for a while and said: "It passed the preliminary review and is being drafted for publication. However, you need to contact the author, and the writing style needs major revisions."
"Understood."
Relatively speaking, Zhang Hui and Geng Yue are relatively open-minded. But being half a step ahead means being open-minded, and being several steps ahead means being open-minded. They are not like Li Yuan, who can let themselves go. After all, they still have to be in the cultural field.
Mixing in the circle.
Therefore, the work can be published, but the words and sentences must be greatly changed!
…
Mainland publishing houses are more rigid in their work. Since there are many procedures, the delay time is relatively long.
This situation does not exist in Hong Kong. Even half a month has passed. Beautiful posters of "The Vast Ocean Is a Casino" have been posted at the entrances of almost all bookstores. Samples have also been put up.
Hmm! There are only one or two samples.
Li Yang is a white-collar worker in a certain company. When he passed by the bookstore, he was attracted by the poster.
In fact, apart from the tradition of reading history, who among men does not have dreams of war, steel, and shipgirls? Caliber means justice!
The other is the book. There is no doubt that the book is the wealth code of East Asia and Southeast Asia. It can be used for all kinds of brainless tricks, or it can be the introduction of certain knowledge points. Anyway, ordinary people love to read it. I just like the various aspects of the book.
Tea art pose.
However, in this era, not many people know about this wealth code, and it can easily be ignored. But ignoring it does not prove that it does not exist among the people!
Moreover, Hong Kong has a very good reading atmosphere. Later, people said that there were too many newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong, and paparazzi were rampant. But readers do not just read various tabloids. The reading culture can support so many newspapers and periodicals. In fact, the reading culture is also very strong.
.
Walking into the bookstore, Li Yang pointed to the book "The Vast Ocean Is a Casino" and asked, "Miss, can you read this book?"
The bookstore clerk responded with a polite smile: "Sir, we only have hardcover books here."
"Then...can you turn it over for me?"
After getting the hardcover set of four volumes, Li Yang took a look at the price and was shocked - 880 Hong Kong dollars. This was already equivalent to half of his monthly income.
However, after flipping through the introduction, Li Yang hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, and still paid for it.
People in later generations may not know much about this period. How eager is this era for that messy knowledge?
Many people even carry a notebook with them. As long as they find interesting knowledge points, they will carefully record it and memorize it... to show off.
Yes! Just show off!
If you suddenly throw out a knowledge point that no one knows when you are bragging and spanking, you will immediately become the focus of the audience and win the favor of the girls. This refreshing feeling is simply indescribable.
And when a group of grown men get together, what will they talk about? Apart from women... ahem, that means sports, war, history, etc., right? Not to mention, there is also the hot topic of the Navy.
So after spending half a month's income to buy a chance to show off for a period of time, Li Yang felt it was worth it.
After all, this is the petty bourgeoisie mentality that is very common among white-collar workers.
They also want to show off with luxury houses and cars, but they can’t do it!
Unexpectedly, when he returned home, Li Yang opened the book and was immediately shocked by the slanderous words in it. How could a book be written like this?
Then Li Yang was ecstatic, this is simply a pretentious book! Not only is it rich in content, it is densely packed with knowledge points, and he has learned so many saucy words, wouldn’t he become the most handsome boy in the room?
What 880 yuan! Knowledge is priceless! It’s worth drinking porridge every day!
At this point, Li Yang couldn't sit still. He immediately found a pen and paper and began to excerpt the dirty words in it. The more he copied, the more he felt itchy and unbearable, and he looked forward to going to the company tomorrow to show off.
With this collection of gossip, Ah Ling at the desk next door will admire me...right?
