Chapter 863: Control the Rhythm
"There's an hour left before we can go to lunch." Yang Guo smiled slightly and said, "So I won't give a lecture this morning, take this time to talk and introduce to you what we are going to do in the future!" โ
In the morning, I went to the classroom with Yao Dehua, and met the first batch of 50 "seed" translators of Xinyi Road Publishing House. In this way, most of the morning passed.
After Yao Dehua left, Yang Guo sat on the table in front of him, his long thighs hanging, pointing to the ground, facing this group of "students".
The fifty people in front of him, although the average age is only in their early thirties, they all look very young in the eighties, but they are actually older than him in terms of age.
But Yang Guo's experience in the past two years is extraordinary, especially after the recent big scene of Bali Fashion Week, he can already face many challenges calmly. Talking to these translators and students who met for the first time, Yang Guo's voice was not trembling, as if he was chatting with old friends he knew.
As soon as they came in, the translators and students were very excited to see Yang Guo, that was because Yang Guo was very famous, and seeing Yang Guo was like seeing a celebrity. But in fact, everyone still has questions in their hearts - can such a young teacher teach or can teach?
However, Yang Guo's calm performance gradually suppressed their turbulent thoughts. Moreover, they also seem to feel a transcendent temperament from Yang Guo, not domineering, but inexplicably convincing.
"I believe that when you signed up for this training course, you all knew about our future mission!" Yang Guo's eyes flashed with starlight, and he said calmly but faintly, "Our training class is not to teach you how to advance from silver to gold medal, nor how to translate the translation tasks given to us by customers, and it has no connection with the Cinda translation platform!" โ
"But it will be an introduction, an opportunity for you to improve yourself! Perhaps, after this training course, perhaps, after your self-study and efforts after you go back, perhaps, there will be the second and third training courses in the future, you will approach the palace of online literary translation that is different from the traditional literary translation in the past! โ
When Yang Guo said this, he saw that among the fifty people present, most of them had a longing light in their eyes, and a small number of people seemed to be struggling in their hearts. He knows why!
I saw Yang Guo smile brightly, just like the neighbor's brother in the TV series who gave people infinite longing, he said: "Come to this training class, I know that you all have a dream of literary translation in your heart, and I hope that your translated works will be published into books one day!"
"Just like me at the time, I would rather suspend the work of commercial translation on the platform to earn more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a month, and resolutely devote myself to the translation of "Jobs's Biography", although I worked hard for more than a month, and was questioned by the people of the whole country, and in the end it was only tens of thousands of yuan, but the new book that exudes the fragrance of ink is in my hands, and at that moment, you will find that all the hard work is worth it!"
Yang Guo clenched his fists, his eyes seemed to reveal a deep attachment to the past, such attachment was what the students in the audience just now also longed for!
"I know it too!" Yang Guo said with a smile, "You have such a goal in mind, so you are willing to give everything to pursue and strive for!" But at the same time, I endured the pain of cutting my love and gave up the life that was actually very good in the past! I have calculated, a silver translator can earn seven or eight thousand a month, and if you work hard, one or two thousand is not impossible! Right? โ
Yang Guo saw the few students who had hesitated just now and nodded slightly, and he smiled: "You think we can't make a lot of money in literary translation, right?" โ
At this moment, almost everyone nodded, this is the consensus in the industry, except for a few talented translators, like Yang Guo, who can make a lot of money through literary translation, but the efficiency of most literary translations is really not as good as that of commercial translation.
Yang Guo used the computer on the podium to open the Amazon webpage and found the best-selling book on the Internet of New Translation Road Publishing House, and the translator was naturally Yang Guo! There is no record of physical book sales yet, after all, it has only been on the shelves for less than a week, but the number of e-book sales has already reached 500!
The book has more than 3 million words, so the price of the e-book is marked by a price of 12.99 meters of gold! In other words, the sales of this book have approached 7,000 meters of gold.
"The new translation road publishing house is seventy-three divided with Amazon!" Yang Guo said frankly, this could have been found on the Internet, Yang Guo had nothing to hide, "Let's assume that this book earns seven thousand meters of gold, then our book can still net nearly five thousand meters of gold!" โ
"Of course, our publishing house is just getting started, the fame is slowly building, and the book has only been selling for a week. We can foresee that it will sell more e-books and paper books in the future! โ
Everyone looked at Yang Guo suspiciously, not quite understanding what Yang Guo meant, in their hearts, what does the sales of books have to do with the translator?
"Well, you might think." Yang Guo smiled slightly and said, "The publishing house made money, and that was earned by the publishing house, so what is the use of telling us?" We are translators! After translating a book, take the money and leave! Right? โ
Yang Guo suddenly burst out with a foul language, which made the translators and students stunned, but this really touched their hearts, and the translators and students couldn't help laughing! And then the applause was thunderous!
"You think the same way I used to!" Yang Guo smiled, "Sometimes, I really want to scold ***, this society is unfair!" Why did we work so hard to help you translate the book, then make money, and then take that little bit of hard work? โ
"Yes!" Some students were already shouting excitedly.
"It's not fair!" Everyone looks quite excited.
There was a faint commotion at the scene, and the students were so enthusiastic and excited by Yang Guo that they felt a little out of control, which was definitely not what Yang Guo wanted to see! However, he is still very calm, because he believes that he can control the situation.
"Do you know why Xinyilu is called Xinyilu?" Yang Guo suddenly changed the topic, which made everyone feel a little uncomfortable, but Yang Guo's calm expression made their turbulent hearts gradually calm down, and they followed Yang Guo's rhythm to think.
