The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 169 Buying is Hot (Please order in full)

This time, Mitsuko Yamada did not write letters directly to lecturers and professors of many colleges and universities like the last time he recommended the Great Qin Empire. Instead, it was the spontaneous behavior of these professors. After all, they also had their signatures on the cover of the book and unanimously recommended it.

"Northeastern University is one of the top universities in Toyo. As long as it becomes popular to buy this book, other universities will be happy to follow suit..."

Bai Gui replied after hearing the words.

Needless to say, the status of Dongying University in the academic circles of Japan is obvious. As long as the students of Dongying University rush to buy the book "Guns, Germs, Steel", other students will inevitably wonder why these top university students read this book ?
This is similar to the popularity of the movie "A Chinese Journey to the West" in later generations.

The earliest movie "A Chinese Journey to the West" by Master Xing was released in theaters in [-]. Whether it was in the mainland or Hong Kong Island, the box office was extremely low. If it was not for the name Master Xing, the box office would probably be even lower. Bad movie of the year.

But in [-], Master Xing went to Peking University to give a speech, and then was asked by Peking University students about the ending of "A Chinese Journey to the West", "Why do we still give us fantasies about love?" After extensive heated discussions, everyone was stunned. That was a student from Peking University, a student from the highest institution in the country...

The Peking University students recognized it as a good film, so...could it be a bad film?

Therefore, relying on hard power, the word-of-mouth of "A Chinese Journey to the West" reversed.

This is the power of the student body of top universities!

Not to mention, countries have not yet popularized higher education, and higher education is truly elite education!

For example, the popularization of higher education in England took hundreds of years, and the enrollment rate reached 1970% in 14.1, and it was only in the early 90s in Japan that the popularization of higher education took place...

According to the research of Martin Trow, a Kenyan scholar, if the gross enrollment rate of higher education is used as the standard, the development of higher education can be divided into three stages: elite, mass and popular.

From the elite to the popular, the cut-off point is 15.00%.From popularization to popularization, it is 50.00%!
Unanimously recommended by the professors of the Department of Education of Dongdae University, "Guns, Germs, Steel" is not as many as the first volume of the Great Qin Empire with 70 characters, and the price is not high. Buying a copy at will, with the wealth of the Dongdae University students, can afford it. not that heavy...

"Come on, I'll treat you to dinner, it's okay."

Bai Gui pushed away the signing table, walked out, put on his coat, and said to Mitsuko Yamada.

"Ah."

Mitsuko Yamada nodded like a mosquito.

Nobuo Nakajima came out together, and he asked as he walked, "Editor Bai, is it still the restaurant from last time?"

Baigui still has the right to choose for the signing, and he chose Maruyama Bookstore last time.

So it was the same as the last signing event, Nobuo Nakajima asked if he went to the same Yoshino restaurant last time.

"Nakajima?"

Bai Gui frowned slightly and stopped.

"What's wrong? Editor Bai?"

Nobuo Nakajima had a bad premonition in his heart. Looking at the editor-in-chief's appearance, it seemed that he had said something wrong, but it was obviously the same last time. Editor-in-chief Bai emphasized that he should accompany him to eat together.

Have you changed your mind?
Editor-in-chief Bai is not someone who lacks that little money.

"Forget it, let's go."

Bai Gui thought for a while, but still didn't say much.

It's just that Nobuo Nakajima is not knowledgeable. No wonder he has been in the newspaper for so long and is only a proofreading editor.

For the first time, he didn't know Mitsuko Yamada very well, and Nobuo Nakajima was there to ease the embarrassment.But Nobuo Nakajima was a little reluctant to go with him that time...

Now it is obvious that he invited Mitsuko Yamada to dinner to repay his favor, but Nobuo Nakajima wanted to intervene again.

But... It's okay, it's still within his tolerance, it's just that he doesn't know the taste at all, and he hasn't reached the point of being disloyal. Nakajima is still very useful, whether it's private or business.

Yoshino Restaurant.

"Three servings of red bean rice!"

Mitsuko Yamada finished ordering and explained: "This is Mr. Bai's signing event, so I congratulate Mr. Bai on his victory..."

"Hey Chifan, it's a good sign!"

Nobuo Nakajima also nodded.

The higher the status of editor-in-chief Bai in the newspaper office, the higher his status as a loyal "dogleg".Dongying, in the company, the phenomenon of seniority ranking is not uncommon, and Nobuo Nakajima is no exception. In the newspaper office, Editor-in-Chief Bai can compete with Editor-in-Chief Nagano, and he doesn't have so many subordinates. He doesn't care much. He follows, There are many benefits.

"Red bean rice..., it's also good..."

Bai Gui was taken aback for a moment, and soon his expression returned to normal.

Red bean rice is a traditional meal in Japan. It is cooked together with glutinous rice and red beans. The rice has a red color, so it is called red rice.It is also a celebratory meal on special occasions and has a positive meaning.

For example, if you feel depressed, you will say: "Eat a bowl of red bean rice!"

Another example is when something needs to be celebrated, because red also represents joy, so red bean rice is a must-order delicacy in the celebration meal.

It is reasonable for Mitsuko Yamada to order red bean rice after the signing.

Soon three bowls of red bean rice, miso soup, and some complementary food were also delivered.

"I'm gonna start now!"

Mitsuko Yamada shouted softly.

Seeing that both of them moved their chopsticks, Bai Gui didn't hesitate. He looked at the red rice in the bowl, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and salt on it.

……

As analyzed by the three of them, at the second day's signing event, with the recommendation of the professor of the University of Tokyo, university students in black skirt uniforms also filed in to buy "Guns, Germs, Steel".

"Professor Jing Shan said that Mr. Bai, your book is definitely a rare masterpiece in the past ten years. I'm here to support you."

"Tai Shigong said in "Reporting to Ren Anshu": "When studying the relationship between heaven and man, understand the changes of the past and the present, and become the words of a family." Professor Shangsen gave you such a high evaluation in the history class. I want to read this book. How is the writing?"

one, two, three...

These East University students from the Ministry of Education are quite arrogant. Hearing that the professor of the Ministry of Education has such a high evaluation of Bai Gui's book, how can they sit still? Literati have always looked down on each other, so I plan to buy a copy and go back to see if it is really there. This ability is still exaggerated like the newspaper said, Bai Meihe has another background behind it.

Dongda University enrolls only a few thousand students a year, and it is divided into five departments: the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Science, the Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Medicine. The total number of students from the Ministry of Culture in the school is only about 2000.

Hearing the news, not many people came to buy.

Only a few hundred copies were sold to the students of the Ministry of Education of the University of Tokyo, which is not conspicuous among the number of buyers.

But... it was bought by the students of the Ministry of Education of the University of Tokyo, and hundreds of people bought it as soon as they bought it.

The next day, major newspapers reported on the phenomenon.

At the same time, some well-known students of Dongda University published comments in newspapers, commenting on "Guns, Germs, Steel".
