Of course, Zhuang Yan doesn't know much about it, although he has been charging a lot of batteries on the Internet recently because of the book "Sophie's World", and he has also consulted "professionals" like Liang Qichao, but if he wants to talk about understanding philosophy, he doesn't dare to say so.

"I don't know it, this book is just my own philosophical conjecture, not a book of philosophical theory, and I don't want to say that it is a book of philosophical theory. Zhuang Yan explained.

Yu Hai nodded, "I probably know what you mean, what you said piqued my interest, has your book been completed?"

"It's been finished and it's being revised. ”

"When are you going to release it?"

"My own plan is in March, but I still have to talk to Yao Qian about it. Zhuang Yan said.

Speaking of Yao Qian, Yu Hai patted his forehead, "Hey, I see that we talked directly, your assistant is really too abrasive, every time I talk to him about publishing, my hair will fall out a lot, and if I come a few times, I will become bald." ”

"It's okay for me to talk, you just give me 18 percent of the royalties, and we can sign the contract now. Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

"What, eighteen percent?" Yu Hai opened his mouth wide, "Yes, I think it's better to talk to your assistant, at least he still has some score." ”

"Are you going to release it globally at the same time?" asked Wang Lijian, who asked from the side.

"I haven't specifically considered this question, is there a must for this?"

"It's not that there is no need for this, the last time the petition in the United States was so big, you have to worry about it somewhat, after all, so many readers abroad also have to take care of it. Wang Lijian said.

"Then the Chinese and English versions will be released first, and the other languages will be said?"

"This is also possible, after all, the Chinese and English versions can meet the needs of most countries. ”

Wang Lijian is right, the Asian side, China, Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia, Singapore, the Chinese version can basically be satisfied. As for Europe and the United States, the United States and Canada in North America are definitely fine with English. English is also available in Australia, as well as in the United Kingdom and countries like India.

"Then there will be two versions in Chinese and English first. Zhuang Yan said.

Yu Hai rolled his eyes beside him and said: "Since you want the Chinese and English versions together, if you want to release them in March, the matter of publication will be discussed in advance, I see that after Chinese New Year's Eve, you will let Yao Qian come over to confirm this matter, and then we will help arrange English translation." A month or two of preparation time is probably enough. Oh, by the way, do you have a translator?"

"As for the translator, I don't have any good candidates, why don't I ask Gu Lao again?" Zhuang Yan said.

Yu Hai shook his head and said, "Tang Shenggong is so old, how can he withstand this toss, and since this book is related to philosophy, he should naturally find a related person." ”

Zhuang Yan looked at Yu Hai with interest, and suddenly smiled: "It sounds like there is someone in Brother Yu's heart?"

was said to be out of his mind, Yu Hai did not show embarrassment, and said, "There is indeed such a candidate, it is none other than Liang Qichao and Liang Zhuoru who are going to eat with us tonight." ”

"Brother Liang?" Zhuang Yan was a little surprised, "He is also proficient in English?"

Yu Hai was a little puzzled by Zhuang Yan's reaction, and said strangely, "Although Zhuo Ru is not a famous translator, he is also very proficient in English. ”

Zhuang Yan had a big question mark on his forehead, because this was not the same as the Liang Qichao in his memory.

In Zhuang Yan's memory, Liang Qichao's English should be at a half-level level. Because there is another interesting thing about him and English, and it is also because of this interesting story that Zhuang Yan remembers that Liang Qichao's English is not good.

Liang Qichao is a well-read, well-read, and strong learning ability, he has studied English in Danshan for a few months, thinking that he has figured out the true meaning of English, and has specially compiled a book called "English Chinese Reading" to teach people how to learn English quickly.

But later, Wang Chonghui, the English editor of the "National Daily", took his book and exposed his old background, and then he realized that his English level was actually half-baked, and in shame, he tore his book in half and threw it out the window.

But Liang Qichao in this world seems to have a different experience, but there is not much information about Liang Qichao in the memory of his predecessor, so he doesn't know how Liang Qichao's English is.

But since Yu Hai said so, then Liang Qichao's English level should be no problem.

Coming back to his senses, Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Liang was well hidden and proficient in English. ”

Wang Lijian said with a smile: "Zhuo Ru is studying Western philosophy now, if he doesn't know English, I'm afraid he won't be able to." ”

Zhuang Yan nodded, "Since that's the case, then let Brother Liang help me?"

Yu Hai and Wang Lijian glanced at each other, and then said: "It's naturally a good thing to let Liang Zhuoru translate for you, but he is a tough person, if you want to convince him, I'm afraid you will have to come forward in person." ”

Isn't it just to save face, Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "I should have invited it in person, just tonight to have dinner together, I told him about it at the table." ”

"That's a good idea. ”

Why did Yu Hai ask Zhuang Yan to ask Liang Zhuoru to translate, in fact, it was to help Liang Zhuoru.

Don't look at Liang Zhuorugui as a professor at Yenching University, his monthly salary is only a little, and although he has a calm personality, he is not a simple person, and his family is dragged with him, and his daily expenses are also large, and his salary is not enough for him.

used to write something in major newspapers to earn some manuscript fees, but later because of his dislike with Kang Youwei and disagreement with political views, it was difficult for his things to be published in the newspapers, and part of his income was cut off. Since then, this period has become increasingly scarce.

He himself is a high-spirited person, so naturally he will not accept Ma Yinchu and Wang Lijian's help.

So Yu Hai just took advantage of this opportunity to give Liang Qichao some work and let him make some money.

Zhuang Yan doesn't know why, but he also thinks it's good to find Liang Qichao to translate, if like Yu Hai said, Liang Qichao's English is no problem, then as a philosophical veteran, it is the best choice to do English translation for "Sophie's World".

While speaking, Wang Lijian looked at his watch, it was already six o'clock, he put down the teacup and stood up, "Let's go too, the scheduled time is half past six, if you are late, it is estimated that Ma Yuanshan will have something to say." ”

Yu Hai pouted and said, "He has something to say to let him go, Zhuang Yan came from afar, let him wait for a moment or two, what's the big problem?"
