Gong, editor-in-chief of Education Group, answered a reporter's question on rampant textbook piracy.

1, Q: Last week, the reporter learned from Sichuan Book Market that there were a large number of pirated textbooks in the name of "painting" in Sichuan civil service examination books, and many candidates suffered greatly. Does manager Gong know about this?

Well, we are dealing with it. As far as I know, pirated "graffiti" training materials for civil servants have appeared in some places.

There are not only Sichuan province, but also Henan, Shandong, Heilongjiang and other areas with more civil service candidates. this

Some pirated textbooks, under the banner of "painting", seriously hurt the legitimate interests of the majority of candidates in order to seek illegal interests.

Among them, the most rampant piracy is the "painting famous course series teaching materials" of the civil service recruitment examination. Since its publication, this series of textbooks has been unanimously recognized and affirmed by the majority of candidates for its detailed and accurate knowledge analysis of test sites, and its sales volume has always been in a position among similar textbooks. I think this is also an important reason why pirates are eyeing this book. However, what makes us laugh and cry is that this year, our new edition of "Tuhua Masters Lecture Series Textbooks" has not yet been sold, and the so-called latest revised edition of "Tuhua Masters Lecture Series Textbooks" has appeared in some places, which has deceived many candidates to buy it. Here, on behalf of Tu Hua, I solemnly declare that all the new textbooks printed with "the latest revision of 2009" on the market are pirated! We are urgently revising the original textbook, and the content and cover have been greatly changed compared with the old version. Please remain calm. Tu Hua will launch the latest edition of "Famous Lecture Series Textbooks" as soon as possible to help the civil service examination!

At the same time, as the victim of this incident, "Tu Hua" resolutely resisted and cooperated with relevant law enforcement departments to investigate and deal with these mercenary criminals, creating a healthy and high-quality preparation environment for civil servants.

2. Q: So, why do you think there are so many pirated textbooks on the market?

A: That's a good question.

As we all know, the main purpose of pirates' printing piracy is to gain profits, which is achieved through sales. Therefore, piracy will definitely choose the best-selling books with relatively large market space and good sales, which also reflects from the side that the civil servant textbook Tu Hua has been fully affirmed by the majority of candidates, which is a side explanation of the market strength of Tu Hua.

Tuhua Civil Service Examination Research Center has been focusing on the research of civil service examination for nearly ten years. Our excellent team is not only experienced, but also specialized in the technical field, and knows every detail of the civil service examination content like the back of your hand. Years of accumulated experience and good teaching results have shaped the gold-lettered signboard of Tuhua civil servant examination training materials, and the sales volume of Tuhua series of teaching materials has maintained its position in similar teaching materials year after year.

I think this is also an important reason for the piracy of some unscrupulous booksellers. They took a fancy to the influence of graffiti in the market and tried to make their own efforts by making use of graffiti's fame, confusing the sight of the majority of candidates and even delaying scores. We will definitely find out these unscrupulous booksellers as soon as possible, and remind candidates to beware of piracy!

3. Q: So how do candidates identify piracy when buying and ensure that what they buy is genuine?

A: According to the market sales, at present, the counterfeit "painted" pirated teaching materials are mainly concentrated in the civil servant teaching materials market in Henan, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Sichuan and other provinces and cities.

For the identification of pirated books, candidates can observe and identify them from the following aspects: (1) most pirated books have colorful cover packages and blurred marking boundaries; Books and papers are yellow, brittle or too white, and feel rough; The printing quality is poor, there are many typos, and the phenomenon of through printing and dirty adhesion is common; The characters in the book are sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and there are many ink spots on the paper, and the handwriting is relatively empty. The binding quality is poor, the folding is not correct, and there are many pages missing or even many knives. It is often seen that the cover of some pirated books is separated from the whole book.

Another point, which is also the most important point, is that most of the pirated graffiti textbooks on the market are copied from the old version or last year's graffiti textbooks, which is very different from this year's textbooks. If the examinee buys it carelessly, I'm afraid it will delay the preparation information. Therefore, it is suggested that candidates must be cautious before purchasing, so as not to cause incalculable adverse effects on themselves.

4. Q: Some candidates reported that the price of a "painted" genuine textbook on the market is about twice that of pirated textbooks, which is why some candidates still buy it knowing that it is pirated. What does Teacher Gong think of this?

A: Indeed, the price of pirated books is much lower than that of genuine books. I think this is also the reason why many candidates knowingly commit crimes. Next, I want to talk about this problem from two aspects.

First of all, let's talk about the cost difference between pirated books and "painted" genuine textbooks.

Pirated books do not have to pay copyright fees and taxes, so its cost only includes three parts: plate making fees, paper and printing fees. For example, pirated "Tu Hua" and "Administrative Professional Ability Test" (textbooks used in Sichuan civil service recruitment examination) appeared on the market. The production cost of each book is probably less than that of 5 yuan, and the retail price of the book is about 20 yuan. If you sell pirated books wholesale at a discount of 20%, the income is amazing, which is one of the main reasons why many unscrupulous booksellers take risks.

The cost of reading genuine books. For the same book, Tuhua has to pay the copyright fee to the writing team, and part of the sales income has to be turned over to the tax. And we are all printed with high-quality coated paper, and the cover packaging is designed by professional technical artists. In this way, our production cost and pricing are basically the same. In other words, the profit margin of Tuhua textbook is very small for us, and it is not as profiteering as the outside world said.

Secondly, I want to talk about why candidates should be advised to buy genuine textbooks.

If candidates pay attention, you should see the "Tuhua Education Online Network Learning Experience Card" and the "Candidates' Home" SMS service presented with the book on the back cover of our genuine book. Candidates who purchase genuine textbooks can log in to Tuhua Education Online for free with their passwords, register as members, and study and prepare for exams online through the Internet.

Tuhua Education Online, affiliated to Tuhua Education Group, is a professional authoritative website focusing on civil service exam counseling and information release. This website has gathered a number of civil service examination experts to provide online guidance and answer questions for members. Over the past few years, it has helped hundreds of thousands of candidates to successfully embark on the road of civil servants and won the praise of the majority of candidates with practical results.

"examinee's home" is a strategic partner of Sichuan province. This website is a professional website specializing in comprehensive consulting services for all kinds of exams. The website provides the latest and fastest exam information for the majority of candidates, downloads real questions over the years, online expert actual combat analysis and other services, as well as online book purchase and other services.

These two services are unique to "painting" genuine textbooks, aiming at providing candidates with more substantial and competitive preparation services, which is also a significant difference between us and pirated books. These two contents are absolutely not available in pirated books, and candidates can also judge the authenticity of the teaching materials accordingly.

Another important point is the difference between genuine and pirated content. As we all know, the civil service exam counseling materials are books with strong timeliness, and the contents will change every year, and some will even change completely. But some pirated books are often pirated before. For example, the piracy of the "lecture series of famous painters" mentioned just now is completely the piracy of last year's content. If the examinee takes pirated books as a reference, it will not only play a guiding role, but will mislead the examinee. Some pirated books are reprinted according to new books, but the contents are often omitted or simply missing, and the reference answers are even more irrelevant. Imagine that the examinee bought such a book at a very cheap price. What's the use? Here, I sincerely advise the majority of candidates who are interested in the road of civil servants. Be sure to keep your eyes open when buying textbooks, beware of piracy and support genuine ones!

5. Q: Just now, after listening to Teacher Gong's analysis, I think the majority of candidates should have a clear understanding and vigilance about pirated textbooks. Finally, I'd like to ask Mr. Gong to talk about how Tu Hua intends to deal with pirated textbooks.

A: At present, our staff are cooperating with relevant law enforcement departments to conduct detailed investigations and "clean-ups" in several areas where piracy is rampant, and strive to trace the source and completely eliminate the hidden dangers of piracy.

At the same time, I hope that the majority of candidates can cooperate with us. We have set up a piracy report phone. If candidates find pirated sales points, they can call our report phone number "* * * *". Upon verification, we will provide civil service training courses or teaching materials for informants free of charge. It is hoped that candidates can take action to prevent piracy in order to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

Finally, I want to explain that as a member of Tuhua Group, although we are now under the impact of piracy, our purpose of "providing first-class training and compiling first-class teaching materials" will not change. Painters will firmly believe and strive to provide the civil servants with the most timely, effective and comprehensive high-quality knowledge, so that every candidate who participates in painting training and uses genuine painting materials can realize his life ideal and successfully embark on the road of civil servants.

6. Reporter: Thank you, Mr. Gong, for being interviewed during his busy schedule. We also hope that graffiti can put an end to piracy as soon as possible, bring more and better excellent teaching materials to the majority of candidates, and let our candidates move forward easily on the difficult road of civil service examination. Thank you!

Chief Gong: OK. I am also very grateful to take this opportunity to clarify the vision of the majority of candidates. At the same time, I am also very grateful to journalists and friends for their concern and expectation for painting. We painters will definitely work harder to provide better service for the candidates. Thank you!
