We report that, unlike most inclusive quarkonium-production processes, the production rate for $pp\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}+\ensuremath{\Upsilon}+X$ dominantly depends on two not well-known long-distance nonrelativistic QCD matrix elements, $⟨{O}_{8}^{J/\ensuremath{\psi}}(^{3}S_{1})⟩$ and $⟨{O}_{8}^{\ensuremath{\Upsilon}}(^{3}S_{1})⟩$ at leading order in the strong coupling constant, which account for the transition probabilities of the color-octet spin-triplet heavy-quark-antiquark pairs $c{\overline{c}}_{8}(^{3}S_{1})\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ and $b{\overline{b}}_{8}(^{3}S_{1})\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\Upsilon}$, …
