Chapter 87

it is an eternal truth that plans can never catch up with changes!

Like Zheng Yujie's well planned National Day holiday, like Yang Guo's very tight translation schedule, like the world's plan to publish Qiao jiaozhu's autobiography as a publishing house or bookseller, it was all disrupted by a sudden bad news.

On the fifth day of national day, Qiao jiaozhu, who had fought against pancreatic cancer for many years, could not escape the entanglement of the disease this time. He died on October 5, local time at the age of 56!

The official news was announced by Apple's board of directors the next day, but Dongxin publishing house received the news on the same day.

While everyone was shocked, regretted and mourned the death of a generation of great leaders, they also raised their hearts!

The sudden death of master Qiao means that previous plans have to be overturned and restarted.

Qiao jiaozhu's autobiography can be said to be a work, but in the hands of publishers and booksellers, it is a real commodity. Since it is a commodity, it must be sold to realize its value.

For a book that has been popular all over the world before it is released, like Joe's Apple products, it is bound to be a best seller, but who can guarantee that it will be popular forever?

Every thing has a fresh-keeping period. If you don't launch it when everyone is paying attention, then wait for a period of time, and everyone's enthusiasm subsides. Then launch it again to fried cold rice. Who else will buy it?

Especially leader Qiao, he died, and now there are still overwhelming news reports. These are free advertisements! In a month or two, everyone gradually accepts this fact, and their attention is attracted by other things. At this time, if you sell books again, your performance will be much worse.

After receiving the news, Zheng Yujie couldn't sit still. She immediately booked the earliest flight the next day and flew 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 was advanced from November 21 to the 24th of this month!

It was another month ahead of schedule. Although in the email, the rice side also asked whether everyone could catch up with the synchronous publishing, because of the change of the plan, they explained that they would not force everyone to follow their footsteps.

Before replying, Zheng Yujie asked Yang Guo, "how much do you have?"

Yang Guo seriously told her that if the rest of the manuscript was at the current speed, it would not be finished until the evening of the 12th. But Yang Guo hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth and said, "don't worry, we'll work overtime, spell again, and give you the manuscript before the evening of the 9th!"

Zheng Yujie nodded with satisfaction, and then she asked the publishing house to reply to MI Fang, stating that we could cooperate with the synchronous listing of the English version. Many countries and regions did not hesitate to join the team of synchronous publishing. After all, the gimmick of simultaneous publishing is really a big selling point. How proud it is to be able to enjoy the long-awaited masterpiece with foreigners at the same time! You know, Apple's iPhone has never been listed at the same time at home and abroad!

If others have been listed and you are still tossing around slowly, the enthusiasm of customers will definitely be hit!

Since she promised to go public at the same time, Zheng Yujie couldn't afford to procrastinate any more. She flew back to Beijing and immediately took a taxi back to the company. The French design director of the company was originally on vacation abroad, and he was on his way back in a hurry.

After Zheng Yujie returned to the capital, she no longer pretended to be obsequious at Yang Guo's house, but reappeared her appearance as a neat and powerful woman!

Although she is not very old, she grew up in a political family and handled things neatly under the influence of her parents. Because of the sudden advance of time, the company suddenly became a mess, sales and printing, proofreading and editing, and so on. All departments were red faced because of various conflicts and inconsistencies in the plan.

As soon as Zheng Yujie returned to the company, she called the heads of all departments together for a meeting. The meeting lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon to the early morning of the next day, and all uncoordinated issues were resolved at the meeting. In such a vigorous and resolute manner, a detailed new schedule was immediately formulated and sent to the computers of all employees participating in the project team.

The whole company immediately ran like a tight spring. The sales department held a meeting to formulate a new marketing strategy, and the advertising department also attended the discussion without waiting for me. Taking advantage of this east wind, we should react quickly, and the promotion effect will be twice the result with half the effort!

The editorial department also quickly organized people to proofread and typeset the completed manuscript, and made some fine adjustments to the originally set cover and typesetting style.

In fact, the editorial department has a little disagreement on this issue. Some editors believe that it should be made like previous best sellers, adding some celebrity recommendations and some gimmicks. However, some editors confirmed that this book should follow the consistent style of Qiao jiaozhu, which is simple but not simple. It should be recognized by Qiao jiaozhu's fans with its neat and clean appearance and exquisite color matching and workmanship.

Finally, Zheng Yujie made a decision and agreed with the latter. Special cases should be handled in a special way. How can we succeed by sticking to the rules?

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

First of all, Guan yanxie was ill. In fact, Guan yanxie had a fever on the 4th. He was confused for several days. The efficiency of translation was too low! It's not only slow, but also full of mistakes and omissions. Yang Guo spends a lot of time correcting his manuscript every day. Under the headache, Yang Guo gave Guan Yanxi a day off, let him have a good rest, completely recovered, and then came back to work.

Secondly, the other two team members also had to know the news and stayed up late with Yang Guo. They couldn't stand it for two days in a row. They are not monsters like Yang Guo. Nourished by the internal skill, they only need to sleep for three hours every day and then feel energetic. After two days and nights, they become haggard. Yang Guo can't stand it and urges them to go to bed.

So for 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. It was all up to his will.

The task is very arduous. You know, he has to finish the original six-day workload in three days, and Guan Yan was ill at the beginning.

Fortunately, Guan Yanxi also worked hard. One day later, he was resurrected and returned to the team. He was Yang Guo's right-hand man. When he was full of spirit, he did more translation than the other two people combined, so more than two-thirds of the manuscripts were handled by Guan Yanxi and Yang Guo!

These days, I really have no time to take care of Qiqi. Yang Guo also called his godmother. Liu Suqin later laughed at him and said that she took care of not only the small but also the large ones, saying that Yang Guo was busy for three consecutive days.

Yang Guo didn't have time to talk to her daughter. Qiqi, the most clingy father, naturally quit. At the beginning, she would cry for a long time every time she got up. Liu Suqin had no choice but to hold Yang Guo in the end. Looking at his daughter's tearful eyes, Yang Guoxin suddenly softened. He quickly put down his work and just coaxed her by holding her.

Of course, Yang Guo, who was worried about the manuscript, didn't stop. While coaxing his daughter, he was translating the abdominal manuscript in his mind. He was half hearted, which made Qi Qi unhappy. Although he stopped crying, he still patted Yang Guo's chest dissatisfied, and pasted his snot and tears into his collar, which made Yang Guo cry and laugh.

Kung Fu pays off. After three days of hard work day and night, they finally finished the draft on the 9th! Guan Yanxi joked in the group, "this manuscript still carries our temperature!" It's not appropriate to describe it as fresh, but this manuscript is definitely their work of hard work!

After handing in the manuscript, Yang Guo fell directly on the bed and slept all night and all morning. For the first time since practicing the internal skill, he didn't get up early. The fatigue of staying awake for three days has gone deep into his bones.

The rest is only temporary. Yang Guo, who has the highest level of Chinese and English in the project team, still can't rest. He has to review all the manuscripts together with the review team. The review team is responsible for reviewing whether there are typos, and he is responsible for checking whether there are any mistakes or translations.

On the 24th, the publishing house should deliver the final draft to the printing house before the 14th. After finishing the final draft on the 14th, Yang Guo can finally breathe a sigh of relief! His task in publishing this book is over. He has done all the efforts he should do. The rest depends on the reaction of the market!

As a translator, even if it is a book written by others, if you turn it over, you will also be regarded as your own child. Parents will always have the desire to succeed, and Yang Guo also hopes that his "child" can be recognized by others and achieve good results.

But the process of waiting is also uneasy! Through Zheng Yujie, Yang Guo got a lot of news, including the biography of Qiao jiaozhu, which can be described as hot online pre-sale! Anyway, it will be able to sell good results at that time.

However, a good result doesn't mean that Yang Guo's translation achievements are accepted by everyone, because the so-called good results are given by the fame of the patriarch Qiao, and the reflection on the quality of the works doesn't count. So Yang Guo didn't show much pleasure at hearing such good sales results.

Even he was vaguely worried that it was difficult for everyone to adjust. There were a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, and their evaluation criteria for the book would be different. The more people bought the book, the more people would see the effect of Yang Guo's translation, but no matter how well they wrote, there would always be people who felt that it was not to their taste.
