It's an eternal truth that plans never catch up with change!

Just like Zheng Yujie's originally planned National Day vacation, just like Yang Guo has planned a very tight translation schedule, just like the world's plan to publish this autobiography of Sect Master Qiao as a publishing house or bookseller, all of which were disrupted by a sudden bad news.

On the fifth day of the National Day, Sect Master Qiao, who had been battling pancreatic cancer for many years, could no longer escape the entanglement of the disease this time, and passed away on October 5, local time, at the age of 56!

The official announcement was made by Apple's board of directors the next day, but Dongxin Publishing received the news on the same day.

While everyone was shocked, regretful and saddened by the death of a great leader, their hearts were lifted!

The sudden death of Sect Master Qiao meant that the previous plans had to be reversed.

The autobiography of Master Qiao can be said to be a work, but in the hands of publishers and booksellers, it is an out-and-out commodity. Since it is a commodity, it has to be sold in order to realize its value.

For a book like Master Joe's Apple product that has become a global hit before it is released, it is destined to be a bestseller, but who can guarantee that it will be a success forever?

Everything has a shelf life, if you don't take advantage of the time when everyone is paying attention to it, then after a period of time, everyone's enthusiasm has subsided, and then push it out to fry cold rice, who else will buy it?

Especially Sect Master Qiao, he passed away, and now it is still an overwhelming news report, which is all free advertising! After another month or two, everyone gradually accepted this fact, and their attention was attracted to other things, then if they sold books at this time, the results would definitely be much more dismal.

After receiving the news, Zheng Yujie couldn't sit still, and she immediately booked the earliest flight the next day to fly back to the capital. Before leaving, that is, on the morning of the 6th, Zheng Yujie received an email from the United States, which informed all publishers around the world that the publication date had been advanced from November 21 to the 24th of this month!

It was another month in advance, and although in the email, the Mi side was still worried about asking everyone if they could catch up with the simultaneous publication, because of the change in plans, they explained that they would not force everyone to follow in their footsteps.

Before replying, Zheng Yujie asked Yang Guo solemnly: "How many do you still have?" ”

Yang Guo told her solemnly that if the rest of the manuscript came at the current speed, it would not be completed until at least the evening of the twelfth, but Yang Guo hesitated, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, we will work overtime, fight again, and give you the manuscript before the night of the ninth!" ”

Zheng Yujie nodded with satisfaction, and then she asked the publisher to reply to Mi Fang, stating that we could cooperate with the English version to be launched simultaneously. There are many countries and regions that have not hesitated to join the team of simultaneous publishing. After all, the gimmick of simultaneous publishing is really a big selling point, and what a thing to be proud of being able to enjoy the long-awaited masterpiece at the same time as the gringosin! You must know that Apple's iPhone has never been listed at the same time at home and abroad!

If someone else has already gone public, and you are still tossing slowly, the enthusiasm of customers will definitely be greatly dampened!

Since she agreed to go public at the same time, Zheng Yujie couldn't afford to procrastinate, she took a plane back to the capital, and immediately took a taxi back to the company. The company's French design director was on vacation abroad and was on his way back in a hurry.

After Zheng Yujie returned to the capital, she no longer pretended to be flattering in Yang Guo's house, but re-showed her appearance as a clean and neat strong woman!

Although she is not very old, she grew up in a political family, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, she handles things neatly. Because of the sudden advance of time, the company suddenly became a mess, sales and printing, proofreading and editing, etc., and various departments were fighting for each other because of various conflicts and incoordination in planning.

As soon as Zheng Yujie returned to the company, she asked the heads of various departments to come to the meeting by name, and the meeting was held from 2 o'clock in the afternoon to the early morning of the next day, and all the incoordination was resolved at this meeting. Immediately, a detailed new schedule was drawn up and sent to all the staff involved in the project.

The whole company immediately ran like a tightened clockwork, the sales department held a meeting to reformulate a new marketing strategy, and the advertising department also attended to join the discussion.

The editorial department also quickly organized personnel to review and typeset the completed manuscript, and made some minor adjustments to the original cover and layout style.

On this issue, there is actually a slight disagreement among the editorial departments. Some editors think it should be done like a bestseller in the past, with a few celebrity testimonials and a few gimmicks. However, some editors confirmed that the book should follow the consistent style of Master Joe, simple but not simple, with a neat and clean appearance and exquisite color scheme and workmanship to gain the approval of Master Joe's fans.

In the end, Zheng Yujie made a decision and agreed with the latter's opinion. Special situations require special treatments, and how can sticking to the rules be successful?

Not to mention Zheng Yujie's intense efforts, Yang Guo is also going all out!

First of all, Guan Yanyan is sick, in fact, Guan Yanyan has a fever on the fourth, and he has been in a daze for several days, and the efficiency of translation is too low! Not only is it slow, but it is also full of mistakes and omissions, and Yang Guo spends a lot of time revising his manuscript every day. Under the headache, Yang Guo gave Guan Yanxi a day off, let him rest well, and return to work after a complete recovery.

Secondly, the other two team members also had to stay up all night with Yang Guo to fight after knowing the news, and the two of them couldn't stand it for two days in a row. They are not demons like Yang Guo, under the nourishment of the inner family exercises, they only need to sleep for three hours a day to be in good spirits, and after staying up for two days and nights, they are a lot haggard, Yang Guo can't stand it, and urges them to go to sleep.

So one and a half days Yang Guo was fighting alone, he didn't even sleep for three days, he didn't squint for a minute, and he relied on his will to support him.

The task is very arduous, you know, he has to complete the original six-day workload in three days, and Guan Yanxi is still sick at the beginning.

Fortunately, Guan Yanyan is also competitive, and he returned to the team after a day of full blood, he is Yang Guo's right-hand man, and in the case of full spirit, he has done more translations than the other two combined, so more than two-thirds of the manuscript has been arranged by Guan Yanyan and Yang Guo!

I really didn't have time to take care of Qiqi these days, so Yang Guo also called my godmother over. Liu Suqin laughed later and said that she not only took care of the small ones, but also took care of the big ones, talking about Yang Guo, who was busy for three consecutive days.

Yang Guo didn't have time to take care of her daughter, Qiqi, who was the most sticky to her father, naturally quit, at the beginning, she had to cry for a long time every time she got up, Liu Suqin didn't have a problem with her, and in the end she still had to hug Yang Guo. Seeing her daughter's teary-eyed appearance, Yang Guo's heart softened suddenly, and she quickly put down the work in her hand and hugged her daughter to coax.

Of course, Yang Guo, who was worried about the manuscript, did not stop, he coaxed his daughter while translating the manuscript in his mind, half-heartedly, which made Qiqi so unhappy, although he stopped crying, he still patted Yang Guo's chest dissatisfiedly, and put snot and tears into his collar, which made Yang Guo cry and laugh.

The hard work paid off, and after three days of hard work day and night, they finally finished the manuscript on the nineth! Guan Yanxi also joked in the group: "This manuscript still carries our body temperature!" "It's not appropriate to describe it as freshly baked, but this manuscript is definitely their work of blood and sweat!

After handing in the manuscript, Yang Guo fell directly on the bed, and slept all night and one morning, since he practiced the inner family exercises, it was the first time in the world that he did not get up early, and the fatigue of three days of sleepless has penetrated deep into the bones.

The break is only temporary, as the highest level of English in the project team, Yang Guo still can't rest, he has to follow the review team to review all the manuscripts, the review team is responsible for reviewing whether there are any typos, and he is responsible for seeing if there are any things that are not smooth or translated incorrectly.

On the 24th, the press will deliver the final draft to the printing house before the 14th. After finishing the final draft on the 14th, Yang Guo could finally breathe a sigh of relief! That's the end of his task in publishing the book, he has already done all the efforts that should be done, and the rest depends on the reaction of the market!

As a translator, even if it is a book written by someone else, if you turn it over by yourself, you will be regarded as your own child, and parents will always hope that their son will become a dragon, and Yang Guo also hopes that his "child" can be recognized by others and get good results.

But the waiting process is also unsettling! Through Zheng Yujie, Yang Guo got a lot of news, including the biography of Sect Leader Qiao, which can be described as hot on the Internet! Either way, it will be able to sell well.

However, selling well does not mean that Yang Guo's translation results are accepted by everyone, because the so-called good results are due to the fame of the sect leader Qiao, and the reflection of the quality of the work does not count. So hearing such good sales results, Yang Guo didn't show much joy.

Even he was faintly worried, saying that it was difficult to reconcile, there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, and their evaluation criteria for books will be different, the more people buy this book, the more people will see the effect of Yang Guo's translation, but even if they write well, there will always be people who feel that it is not to their taste.
