Chapter 103 Mr. Yao who sent charcoal in the snow

A press conference was held in the afternoon, and in the morning, Yang Guo took his daughter to Dongxin Publishing House by taxi, and he also pushed the baby stroller sent by Zheng Yujie. Yang Guo planned to put her daughter to sleep before going on stage, and then let her sleep quietly in a stroller in another room, and then ask a female assistant of Zheng Yujie to take care of it.

The Grand Conference Hall is being put to the fore. As the only translator in the translation team to attend the press conference, Yang Guo met with Pang Yue, the editor-in-chief of Dongxin Publishing House, under the leadership of Zheng Yujie.

Pang Yue was the key person who single-handedly introduced this book to China! Because of the careful planning of the master, the biography strictly adheres to his standards of secrecy - so strict that no media has obtained any data on the shape and specifications of the iPhone 4 before the press conference, and similarly, few people in the industry know about the existence of the book.

At the beginning of the year, an intermediary secretly contacted Dongxin Publishing House and asked if they were interested in introducing the book. But when asked about the author, synopsis, and even the date of publication of the book, the middleman was silent and refused to reveal a word!

I don't know who its author is, and I don't know if it's written well or not, but it takes a lot of risk to introduce such a book, and even Dongxin Publishing House, which can import no less than 600 foreign language books every year, would not dare to be careless.

Although he has the name of Sect Master Qiao, he has published no less than ten books related to him in Dongxin Publishing House! Although they sold well, they also brought a hidden danger - would such a figure who may have been over-explored and researched, still have marketing value in his books?

No one dared to make this decision, and the president, vice president, and editor-in-chief had a secret meeting to discuss it for a long time, but they couldn't take a picture. In the end, Pang Yue gritted his teeth and suggested, "Take a gamble!" So after some offers, Dongxin Publishing House won this "the only official biography of Jobs".

Even if he won the book, this news was still a secret within the publishing house, and only a few people knew about it, and Pang Yue, who was mainly responsible for contacting Simon Schuster, the publisher of the United States, was Pang Yue, and for this matter, he went to the United States three times in two months. Until the time the translators were recruited, the news did not spread.

Even after that, the publication of the book has been kept a low profile.

Because of this requirement of secrecy, such a story happened later: Pang Yue's father heard that Mi Guo was going to publish a biography of Sect Master Qiao, and he ran home in a hurry and suggested that Pang Yue hurry up and inquire. "In the eyes of those who study engineering, Steve Jobs is the contemporary Edison and Leonardo da Vinci!" As a result, the answer he got was that Dongxin Publishing House had already introduced Chinese copyright! He was very angry and asked Pang Yue why he didn't publicize it, and before he even waited for Pang Yue to explain, he angrily brushed his sleeves away.

In any case, Pang Yue is absolutely indispensable to the publication of this book by Dongxin Publishing House!

When he saw Pang Yue, Yang Guo realized that under this masculine name was a woman in her fifties, and her hair was a little gray. Pang Yue was very enthusiastic about Yang Guo, and she expressed her satisfaction with his translated works.

"I've seen that the quality of the translations, whether it's your translations or the ones you direct and revise, is very high! It can be said that it is the best book published by Dongxin in ten years! Pang Yue said with a smile, "It's not up to our little Zheng who has traveled thousands of miles to seek talent!" Ha ha! ”

Yang Guo was a little flattered to be praised by famous celebrities in the publishing industry. Although he was a little excited, he still said a few words modestly.

Because of her busy official duties, Pang Yue didn't talk to Yang Guo for too long, and she finally encouraged Yang Guo a few words: "It's normal to encounter a little setback in the publication of a book, as long as you can get through, everything will not be a problem." Powerful people will not be afraid of other people's doubts, only those who really face the challenge can be regarded as a real strong! Yang Guo, I'm optimistic about you! ”

The person who sails the big boat will not care about a little wind and waves, a person of the level of Pang Yue, what kind of small means have not been seen, she does not interfere to deal with it, but she just wants to take the opportunity to hone Zheng Yujie, who she regards as her junior, so far, the effect is not bad!

After Pang Yue left, Zheng Yujie whispered to Yang Guo.

"So you're from Cinda Company! Why didn't you tell me before? Her body was very close to Yang Guo, but her palm was on Yang Guo's waist, her thumb and index finger clamped a piece of his soft flesh, and said with disgust.

This action is a bit too much! Even a person as sluggish as Yang Guo felt that something was not right, but according to his way of thinking, he first reflected on himself, yesterday he knew that Zheng Yujie was a "engaged" person, he was so close to Zheng Yujie, and there were such intimate movements, would it have any bad impact on Zheng Yujie?

Yang Guo, who thought he was very thoughtful, quickly distanced himself from Zheng Yujie, and then asked in surprise: "Hey, how do you know?" ”

"But your statement is not right," corrected Yang Guo, who loves to chew on words, "The relationship between Cinda and me is not that of employer and employee, I only take translation tasks through Cinda Company." ”

Zheng Yujie's eyes, who were avoided by Yang Guo like this, were a little gloomy, she thought that the relationship between the two was more intimate, but it didn't seem to be as smooth as she thought. However, Zheng Yujie quickly recovered, as if nothing had happened just now, she still said with a smile: "I know, I still have heard of the business model of Xinda Company, yesterday afternoon their Mr. Yao stood up to support you, let me mistakenly think that you are working for him!" ”

"Mr. Yao, is it Mr. Yao Dehua Yao?" Yang Guo said in surprise, "What's going on?" ”

Under Zheng Yujie's explanation, Yang Guo understood that the storm of public opinion that had just broken out the day before yesterday Yao Dehua made a decision yesterday. He interviewed several big newspapers that had a relatively good relationship, and several of them were also mouthpieces of Guangdong Province, and through them he conveyed his support for Yang Guo to the outside world.

Yang Guo found the newspaper, and the one he read was the Nanyue Evening News, which was known as daring to speak. The big headline on the fifth edition reads, "Young, not a measure of strength!" ”

Nanyue Evening News analyzed Yang Guo from two perspectives.

On the one hand, through interviews with Andy Yao and other key employees of Cinda Company (Translator Department), I learned about Yang Guo's true strength from their mouths, just like Yao Dehua said: "Yang Guo is the most talented and aura translator I have ever seen, engaged in this industry for decades, no one can make me appreciate or even worship so much, he is a well-deserved first gold medal translator in our company, with his ability, even if you look at the translation industry in Guangdong Province, counting the older generation of translators who have been famous for a long time, Yang Guo can also squeeze into the top ten!" ”

On the one hand, by tracing the beginning of this matter, the question is raised: Do you still evaluate people who follow the trend and abuse on superficial age, seniority and reputation? How many of them have actually read Yang Guo's translated works? You haven't read the book, so why are you so sure he can't read it well?

"You can criticize him because of his youth, but in my opinion, youth is his greatest capital, Yang Guo has unlimited potential, with his current strength, I can boldly assert that he is a person who is destined to become a master!" Yao Dehua gave a very high evaluation that may even cause controversy.

Of course, the Nanyue Evening News would not have listened to Yao Dehua's family, and it also found the most famous translator in the translation field in Guangdong Province through its own channels, Mr. Yuan Chenghe, Dean of the School of Higher Translation of Guangdong University of Foreign Chinese. Yuan Chenghe carefully read the materials provided by Nanyue Evening News that Yang Guo had translated for pharmaceutical companies, and he also gave a high evaluation - "The quality is excellent, amazing, it's really rare!" ”

Although it is not as exaggerated as Yao Dehua, his appreciation and praise for Yang Guo are on paper!

Nanyue Evening News finally concluded from a neutral point of view: "We let the facts speak for themselves in Yang Guo's strength and the quality of Jobs' biography translation, but there is no doubt that young people should not be the yardstick for everyone's evaluation!" ”

Because of the reports of Guangdong Province, some of Yang Guo's unknown situations have been put in front of people, and the public opinion on the Internet has quietly changed, and the one-sided crusade has weakened a lot, and more and more people have chosen to wait and see rationally, which has also made the public relations department of Dongxin Publishing House a lot less pressure.

When you succeed, there are countless icing on the cake, and only when you are disappointed can you show your true feelings. For Yao Dehua to support him so desperately, Yang Guo's heart was very moved. Although his eyes were as calm as ever, his slightly trembling hands holding the newspaper could not hide his mood.

Yang Guo knew that Yao Dehua did not stand up in solidarity with him. Even if it was solidarity, there was no need for him to give it his all out. In doing so, he is bringing huge potential risks to himself and to the company.

Because if after the release of the biography of Sect Master Qiao, the quality of the translation is indeed not up to par as everyone suspects, then Yao Dehua is really going to become a big joke in the industry!

Even the credibility and image of Xinda Company will be hit in the eyes! Yao Dehua said that Yang Guo is the first person in Xinda Company and a leader among the gold medal translators, so if Yang Guo is criticized by the public because of the translation quality of this book, then the strength of Xinda Company will also be questioned by customers!

The translation circle is not big, and a little wind and grass will immediately reach everyone's ears, not to mention such a hot national focus event!

Yao Dehua trusts himself so much, Yang Guo does not feel pressured because of this, but he seems to be encouraged, and his confidence is getting stronger and stronger!
