Chapter 978: Not a Difficult Negotiation
Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie will not bring emotional things to work, and when they have dinner in the evening, the two seem to have not "quarreled" just now. , the latest chapter access:. Even in the evening, when Yang Guo continued to 'fine' revise the translation of "Escape", Zheng Yujie sat on the sofa in Yang Guo's room and looked at him without making noise.
Early the next morning, Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie left their luggage at the hotel, took the green train, and came to Winham Town.
In fact, the scale is not a manor, it is said to be a manor, that is because the "flower" garden-style yard of the "manor" of the old "milk" and "milk" house is a bit too big, although there was a snow yesterday, but there are still a lot of egg yolk / "color" small "flowers" blooming in the yard, as if it is a sparse "flower" sea, not good enough, but there is also a poetic and picturesque feeling by the lake.
When Yang Guo and the others arrived, the 'door' Luo Lao's 'milk' and 'milk' were holding a book and sitting on a chair in front of the 'door' to read.
"If it's summer, I'd be more inclined to read under that cedar tree, and ten years ago there was a maple tree, but it was damaged by insects and has been cut down." 'Men' Luo Lao's 'Milk' and 'Milk' said to Yang Guo with a smile.
When people are older, they tend to pick up the past and chatter. Yang Guo accompanied the old 'milk' and 'milk' to chat about this topic for almost half an hour, and Zheng Yujie also said a few words, her spoken English was not bad.
Although he knew that Zheng Yujie was the owner of the publishing house, 'Men' Luo was surprised that she was young, and at the same time, he jokingly asked Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie if they were a couple. Yang Guo naturally denied it, but Zheng Yujie just smiled and didn't answer.
At noon, 'Men' Luo invited Yang Guo and them to dine together. Before that, Yang Guo handed the Swedish translation of "Escape" to "Menlo", and "Men" Luo handed it to her "daughter" and asked her to show it to Professor Anderson and other Swedish friends. Qianqian
"I just want to say that Mo Yan of China is really lucky to have the help of such an excellent translator as you!" "I've seen a few of your videos in Sweden, and the English translation of the speech is very 'good', and although I can't understand the Swedish translation of the award ceremony, my friends who know me also praise it!" โ
"Mr. Mo Yan is also my teacher." Yang Guo smiled slightly, raised the water glass in his hand, and said, "He has a deep accomplishment in literature, and recently, I have been able to get inspiration and progress from him!" โ
Yang Guo does not like others to attribute the success of Mr. Mo Yan to his translation, Yang Guo believes that his translation is just to build a bridge, so that foreign readers can have access to Mr. Mo Yan's works without hindrance, however, the joys, sorrows, sorrows and touches they feel, these are in the final analysis Mr. Mo Yan's own works are excellent!
Yang Guo can't translate an ordinarily written book into a 'flower' and 'mess' for no reason, right? If Yang Guo had that ability, why would he work so hard, write a book by himself, and then win the award himself?
Zheng Yujie understood what Yang Guo meant, but she was a little frightened, because 'Men' Luo was a customer! Although Yang Guo did not lose his temper directly, he was suspected of talking back, and Zheng Yujie was worried that 'Men' Luo would be unhappy and threw his sleeves away.
If this matter is placed in China, Yang Guo and their trip will definitely be yellow, but foreign people do not feel that it is offensive to talk back, but 'Men' Luo is very appreciative of Yang Guo's sincere attitude, and this appreciation is even more 'revealed' in her eyes.
"It's really hard to imagine!" "Men" Luo Lao "Granny" and "Milk" smiled, "When I first met you on the plane, you were still a well-known model. โ
"The model only makes a cameo at the invitation of a friend." Yang Guo shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile to Menluo, "I like my current translation profession more, and I also like to learn literary writing from you great writers in the process of translation!" โ
After lunch, Menluo and Yang Guo, who had no nap habits, began to enter the final negotiation session.
After receiving the sample contract handed over by Zheng Yujie, 'Men' Luo Lao's 'milk' and 'milk' put aside, smiled slightly, and said to Yang Guo: "No matter how the Nobel Prize in Literature is selected, I am willing to 'hand' you the Chinese copyright of my works that have not yet been sold!" โ
"As for the price," 'Men' Luo Lao 'Granny' waved his hand and said, "I don't ask for much, as long as you give me a market price, that's enough!" โ
Zheng Yujie looked at her in surprise and asked, "Really?" โ
'Men' Luo Lao's 'Milk' and 'Milk' did not answer directly, she said to herself as if she was telling a story: "Before you, two Chinese publishing houses came to me, both of whom wanted the Chinese copyright of the book "Dear Life". โ
'Men' Luo Lao's 'Milk' 'Milk' turned her head to look at Yang Guo, her eyes were blazing, and she asked, "The price they offered is not low, do you know why I didn't agree?" โ
Yang Guo shook his head.
"Because, they can't show the ability to convince me!" 'Men' Luo Lao's 'Milk' sighed and said, "In 2003, my "Who Do You Think You Are?" was published by your Dongxin Publishing House, a large publishing group in China! โ
Dongxin Publishing House...... Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie looked at each other, and both of them saw each other's surprise.
"The response was very low, and the 'fan'." 'Men' Luo Lao 'Granny' shook his head and said, "I have scholar friends I know in China, and they tell me that the translation is terrible...... she didn't make too many comments.
This book, however, in the last century, has won the Booker Prize, the highest award in contemporary English. No wonder 'Men' Luo's 'milk' and 'milk' are so lost.
"So after that, my work didn't sell the Chinese rights anymore!" Now, I just want to 'hand' my work to a good translator who understands my work! "'Men' Luo Lao's 'Milk' looked at Yang Guo and said affirmatively.
If it is a Chinese copyright, New Translation Road Publishing House will get more than ten works of "Men" Luo Lao's "Milk" and "Milk", including one of her novels and nearly ten short story collections that have not sold Chinese copyrights! This is a bumper harvest that Yang Guo and the others had never expected before they came! (Originally, Yang Guo and the others just wanted the book "Dear Life"!) ๏ผ
Yang Guo was already brewing to express his feelings of 'excitement' and 'excitement' in his heart to 'Men' Luo, and Zheng Yujie suddenly leaned forward and said: "'Men' Luo's 'Female', in fact, you can also consider 'handing' us the copyright of your work in other foreign languages!" I'm sure you've also known, Mr. Mo Yan, whose translations into more than 10 languages are selling well all over the world! It's all about our publishing house helping to operate! โ
It seems that she is not greedy enough, but Zheng Yujie does not, she wants to strive for more development opportunities for Xinyilu Publishing House! If it wants to grow into a giant that can compete with Dongxin Publishing House, Xinyilu must increase its business diversity!
"It's no problem to 'hand' it over to you!" 'Men' Luo's 'grandmother' and 'grandmother' are old, but the 'spirit' is very good, she smiled slyly and said, "However, why not be the same as Mr. Mo Yan?" Let's set a premise, which is what happens after I win the Nobel Prize in Literature? โ
