Chapter 192 Limited Release
"Brother, I really want to help."

Lin Zitai had a sad look on his face, he had more than enough ambition but not enough energy, and threw all the responsibilities to the state-owned and foreign capital on the board of directors.

In the past year, Mojin’s unscrupulous development has offended too many people, and rashly crossing borders will only become the target of public criticism.

The words were so emotional that Lao Xu almost took them seriously, until Lin Zitai changed the subject: "But I can personally invest [-] million in Hengchi."

Just buying a few buildings was not enough to join Lao Xu's logging, so Lin Zitai planned to invest [-] million privately to suffocate Lao Xu's dream.

Mojin is about to be launched, and Hengtai cannot be dragged down, let alone Hengtai’s popularity.

But Prince Group is different. Lin Zitai’s personal investment behavior will not affect the company’s reputation.

Lao Xu's eyes widened and he was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, there are twists and turns.

He hurriedly invited Lin Zitai to come to Pengcheng for a gathering next month.

Although he can't get the traffic of Mojin, Lin Zitai's personal traffic is not small. After all, he was once known as the stock god. An investment of 50 million can bring him an increase of at least [-] billion.

The two set a time to meet in Pengcheng after Mojin went public to discuss the details of investing in Hengchi.

After ending the call, Lin Zitai took the elevator to the fifteenth floor of the building, where the office of "Biology Times" magazine was located.

Next Friday, which is also the first working day after the National Day holiday, the magazine will be officially released to the public.

It was originally planned to be released last month, but was stopped by Lin Zitai, who wanted to ride on the popularity of the medal winner.

The hottest topic in public opinion on the Internet these days, apart from the armaments that appeared on the anniversary, is the several recipients of the Order of the Republic.

A total of ten recipients, including Cheng Zhiyu, are all the backbone of the country and have made great contributions to construction and development.

Among the ten medal winners, three of them were in the first issue of the magazine, leaving their own original or selected papers.

The first issue of "Biological Times" is full of gold.

Lin Zitai came to the office of editor-in-chief Liu Rulong and asked how many annual subscriptions were currently available.

Any magazine is pre-sold on a yearly basis. For example, if they are a newly established magazine, they must publish at least 15 issues every year.

The domestic price is 1200 yuan per year and the international price is 200 yuan per year. All academic journals are basically operating at a loss and can only rely on the continuous blood transfusion of the sponsors behind them.

Funders are generally countries. For example, the three major authoritative academic institutions in the biological world are all directly allocated by the U.S. Congress.

It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, what matters is influence.

Liu Rulong handed over the sales volume and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Lin, there are currently 823 pre-sales in total, of which 650 are from domestic pre-sales and only 173 are international."

They have stung a hornet's nest this time. Although domestic scholars resisted Lin Zitai's use of money to taint academics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences still responded with a supportive attitude.

Domestic biology-related institutions, schools, and companies will more or less plan to support it for one year.

However, there are constant voices of international boycott. All 173 reservations were made by individuals or companies, and no professional organization recognized their existence.

They want to block "Biological Times" in China, and they also want to know that the Chinese version can only be circulated in China, and the international academic community does not recognize the existence of Chinese weekly magazines.

Lin Zitai frowned: "How many copies were printed in total?"

Liu Rulong replied: "3000 copies."

"Keep a thousand copies, each with an independent number, and destroy all the rest. At the same time, the pre-sale limit on the official website is set at 1000 copies. This will be the case in the future."

Lin Zitai raised his eyebrows, not intending to coddle them and directly make the first issue of the magazine out of print.

He established an academic institution purely for the purpose of generating electricity for love, and never expected to make a penny from it.

If it is too easy to get, it is often not cherished.Lin Zitai didn't believe it. Would those Western academic experts be curious or want to read the first drug paper by Cheng Zhiyu, the developer of a new slow-grain drug?

The first issue is out of print. If they want to read it, they can only read the pirated version. Once they read the pirated version, how can they be proud in the future?
Liu Rulong was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Zitai to be so strong.

Because the more professional scholars are, the more they care about intellectual copyright. Without authorization, they will feel ashamed even if they take a look at it.

This move can be called murder.

"Help me take a look at these papers. If there are no problems, wait until next month to publish them."

Lin Zitai took out four papers, all of which were his research and development experiences and data on the neuron project.

After the last submission, he realized that he had made too many mistakes, so he scrapped the paper and started over.

I translated it from English to Chinese, and then followed the idea and wrote three more related papers, planning to publish them under a nickname.

Cheng Zhiyu has only three pharmaceutical papers, and Lin Zitai is worried that the magazine will be an instant hit, then decline again, and be unable to continue.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect Cheng Zhiyu to provide a steady stream of hard-core papers. He can only support the high-quality papers.

Liu Rulong thought it was just Lin Zitai's paper for fun, but after reading it, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Mr. Lin, you wrote this?"

After all, he is also a researcher in biology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Although he is not as good as those authoritative academicians, he still has a basic level of appreciation for papers.

Neurons in the brain have always been a very mysterious area in biology, and experts from various countries know very little about this field.

There has never been a paper with such a novel angle. It seems that relevant experiments have been carried out, and the conclusions are drawn first, and then the reverse reasoning is carried out.

"Is there a problem?" Lin Zitai asked coldly.

"No... no problem, but do you really want to publish it under this name?"

Liu Rulong pointed to the signature at the end of the paper, "Ye Wudao" looked more and more familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Just use this name. You know it and I know it. I don't want a third person to know."

"Okay okay."

Liu Rulong looked at Lin Zitai's leaving figure, his little eyes full of doubts.

Isn't he a businessman?When did you become so knowledgeable about biology?
…………

In the blink of an eye, the long holiday is over. As of October 10, a total of 8 copies of the first issue of "Biological Times" have been pre-sold and shipped via EMS at home and abroad.

A few days later, people began to receive the magazine one after another. At the same time, the number of views on the official website skyrocketed. When people wanted to order the magazine again, it showed that it was sold out.

A few days later, someone at an international academic forum revealed that the Chinese version of "Biological Era" was suspected to be limited to a thousand copies for pre-sale.

Because a Swiss medical company got the 1000th number, and never saw numbers after the [-]th one.

A few days later, there are still no numbers after [-] on the Internet. Almost Shi Chui's "Biological Age" is not only a Chinese version, but also a limited edition.

"Cell" editor-in-chief Caston posted a question on social media: "Is this the academic attitude of China? No wonder it has become an academic desert!"

A single spark can start a prairie fire. Domestic netizens are not interested in academic affairs, but are very interested in eating melons.

In mid-October, "Biological Times" was published for a week, and the news was exported to domestic sales and successfully made headlines across the Internet.

Originally, after the National Day gift, Lin Zitai gave a congratulatory speech on behalf of the post-[-]s generation. The public opinion was reversed, and some experts and professors did not dare to criticize him easily.

However, after being bombarded by the editor-in-chief of Cell, Lin Zitai was once again trending in the name of an academic bully.

It’s okay to tarnish Cheng Zhiyu’s reputation by launching a Chinese version of an academic magazine that is unique. Now it is still published in limited quantities. How will international friends treat them in the future?
