Chapter 864: A New Translation Road
"That's right! What does the name of New Translation Road Press mean? Everyone's hearts were filled with questions.
Yang Guo saw that no one answered, but a few people who were thinking faster had already thought of something, and their eyes were shining with expectation.
No longer selling Guanzi, Yang Guo said with a smile: "Xinyi Road Publishing House, this name is the name given by the elders of the boss's family." "Zheng Yujie's father, the first leader of Guangdong Province who is about to take office, can be regarded as an elder.
"For the country and our Chinese culture, New Translation Road Publishing House means that we will spread and promote our brilliant and rich culture to the world through the translation of the Silk Road in the new era." Yang Guo said with a smile, "This is what the elders are expecting us!" It is also the ultimate goal of our publishing house. โ
"But what about us translators! Of course, we don't need to take on such a heavy responsibility, we just need to treat the works in our hands with care. Yang Guo pointed to the projected network, "That's enough!" โ
"Then the new translation path means that the publishing house will provide us translators engaged in literary translation with a new path, a way to break the convention!" Yang Guo stood tall on the podium, as if his body was as tall as a mountain.
The students in the audience all looked at Yang Guo intently, they remembered what Yang Guo said before, and they couldn't help but breathe heavily!
"The new way of translation is reflected in our attitude towards translators! We would rather compress the profit margins of the publisher, but also strive to achieve a win-win situation for the translator, the author and the publisher! Yang Guo clenched his fists and said.
"Having said all this, I know that if I don't throw out some dry goods, you will definitely not let me go!" Yang Guo laughed, and he said, "As you know, the publishing house is divided with the author, but this time, it is also divided with the translator!" In other words, as long as the quality of the books you translate is good enough and sells enough, then you can also make a lot of money! โ
"That's it!" Yang Guo pointed to the network that had a five-thousand-meter gold profit in addition to Amazon's channel fees, and said with a smile, "The share given to me by the publishing house is thirty percent!" โ
In other words, in just the past week, Yang Guo has already made a net profit of 1,500 meters of gold, which is converted into more than 9,000 yuan!
9,000 a week, 30,000 a month!
Moreover, the translators and students here are not stupid, they know that literary translation is not the same as commercial translation. Commercial translation was a one-shot deal, and you made as much money as you made at that time.
And literary translation is like planting a fruit tree in the spring, and from time to time, you can pick new fruits on the tree! As long as there are people who continue to buy them, there is still a chance that these books will bring them profits.
Yang Guo smiled and said, "Do you think we've earned enough now?" โ
"I can predict to you that today's sales results are just the beginning." Yang Guo said proudly, "We will sell more in the future!" โ
Yang Guo propped up the podium and smiled with the students in the audience: "You should have known before that our publishing house has only been established for less than a month, but it has already made a great reputation in the industry. โ
"Why?" Yang Guo asked rhetorically.
"Because teacher, you have translated so many works of Master Mo Yan!" One student responded, "If there is a Nobel Prize-winning translation of the work of Master Mo Yan as the first stop, our publishing house will quickly gain wide attention!" โ
"Yes!" Yang Guo smiled, "This is our good beginning!" However, don't pin all your hopes on Mr. Mo's works, after all, the popularity of the Nobel Prize will also fade, and if your own translation level is not up to par, you will not be able to succeed! โ
"We'll talk about this later, but I still have to explain the benefits to you, so that you know what kind of future this road will give you!" Yang Guo said.
"The share between translators and publishers is between stable and fluctuating, and translators without grades are less than 10%, and it will be adjusted according to sales." Yang Guo introduced, "If the sales of your first translated book are really good, then the publisher will not deduct your income, and one percent of the profit can be delivered to you completely!" โ
"Next, the second book will change according to your first book!" Yang Guo said with a smile, "We will also divide the interpreters into bronze medals, silver medals, and gold medals, but there is also platinum on top of the gold medal!" โ
"The bronze medal is a fixed part of 10%, the silver medal is 20%, the gold medal is 30%, and the platinum medal is 40%!" Yang Guo gave a thumbs up and said with emotion, "If you can translate a work that has swept the world in sales and can reach the top ten in the sales list, you don't need to wait for the next book, the publisher can directly change the contract with you and change it to a platinum contract!" โ
Yang Guo's eyes shone and said to the fifty translators present who began to get excited: "Gold medal and platinum translators are important resources for the publishing house, you must understand that once you reach the level of gold medal, you can advance and retreat with the publishing house, and if you reach the level of platinum translators, then the publishing house will willingly act as an agent for you, use all the resources to plan marketing for you, and even, help you win more reputation and benefits!" โ
"Platinum should be the goal that all our literary translators should pursue, so that their translated works can be recognized by the market and the world! Even, it is admired by all literary translators! Yang Guo laughed and said.
He spoke in a soft tone, seemingly without passion, but the power contained in his words had already set off a storm in the hearts of the fifty interpreters in the audience!
"I must be platinum!" There was a translator student who followed Yang Guo's example, turned his grasp into a fist, put it in front of his eyes, raised his head, and had a determined look in his eyes.
"Of course, the evaluation of the translator's level is not only the sales of the work, but also the evaluation of his own strength!" Yang Guo said with a smile, "After all, the sales of the work are also related to the quality of the original work. In order to protect the original author, our library is also graded, and only translators who reach a certain level can have access to higher quality books! Therefore, working hard to improve the level of translators will be of great help to your future promotion! โ
Hearing Yang Guo say this, the students' motivation to make progress became even more excited.
As you can guess, the basic rules for a translator's promotion are similar to those of Cinda, the grade is not fixed, it will be evaluated based on the sales of your previous book and the level of translation. If the translation standard of your previous book has dropped dramatically and the sales have deteriorated, then your translator level will also be downgraded. Yang Guo poured a little cold water on them.
"Therefore, we must continue to work hard to keep moving forward!" Yang Guo said with a smile.
