a press conference was held in the afternoon. In the morning, Yang Guo took his daughter to Dongxin publishing house by taxi. He also pushed the baby cart sent by Zheng Yujie. Yang Guo plans to coax 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 her.
The large conference hall is busy with the final layout. As the only translator in the translation team to attend the press conference, Yang Guo met with Pang Yue, the chief editor of Dongxin publishing house under the leadership of Zheng Yujie.
Pang Yue is the key person who introduced this book to China! Due to the careful planning of master Qiao, this biography strictly follows his confidentiality standard - this standard is so strict that no media has any data on the shape and specification of iPhone4 before the press conference. Similarly, few people in the industry know the existence of this book.
At the beginning of the year, an intermediary secretly contacted Dongxin publishing house and asked whether they were interested in introducing this book? But when asked about the author, outline and even publishing time of this book, the middleman was silent and refused to disclose a word!
I don't know who its author is or whether it is good-looking. It takes a lot of risks to introduce such a book. Even Dongxin publishing house, which can introduce no less than 600 foreign language books every year, dare not be careless.
Although it has the name of master Qiao, no less than ten books related to him have been published in Dongxin publishing house! Although they sell well, they also bring hidden dangers - for such a person who may have been over discussed and studied, does his book still have marketing value?
No one dared to make this decision. The president, vice president and chief editor had a secret meeting and discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't take a picture. Finally, Pang Yue clenched his teeth and suggested, "bet!" So after some quotation, Dongxin Press won this "the only official biography of jobs".
Even if he won the book, the news was still a secret inside the publishing house, and only a few people knew it. At that time, Pang Yue was mainly responsible for contacting American publisher Simon Schuster. For this matter, he traveled to the United States three times in two months. Until the time of recruiting translators, this matter did not spread.
Even after that, the publication of this book has maintained a low-key state.
Because of this requirement of confidentiality, a story happened later: Pang Yue's father heard that the United States was going to publish a biography of Qiao Jiao. He ran home excitedly and suggested Pang Yue to inquire quickly. "In the eyes of engineering students, jobs is the contemporary Edison and Da Vinci!" As a result, he got the answer that Dongxin publishing house had already introduced Chinese copyright! He was very angry and asked Pang Yue why he didn't publicize. He left angrily before Pang Yue even explained.
Anyway, Pang Yue definitely contributed to the publication of this book by Dongxin publishing house!
Seeing Pang Yue, Yang Guo found 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. She told Yang Guo that she was satisfied with his translated works.
"I've seen that the translation quality is very high, whether it's your translation or your guidance and revision! It can be said to be the best work published by Dongxin in the past ten years!" Pang Yue said with a smile, "I don't want to disappoint us. Xiao Zheng went all the way to seek talents! Haha!"
Yang Guo was a little flattered to be praised by famous figures in the publishing industry. Although a little excited, he was modest.
Because of busy business, Pang Yue didn't talk to Yang Guo for too long. Finally, she encouraged Yang Guo: "it's normal to encounter a little setback in the publication of a book. As long as you can overcome it, everything will not be a problem. People with strength won't be afraid of other people's questions. Only those who really face the challenge can be considered as real strong! Yang Guo, I'm very optimistic about you!"
Those who sail a big ship don't care about a little storm. People like Pang Yue haven't seen any small means. She doesn't intervene to deal with it. She just wants to take the opportunity to hone Zheng Yujie, who is regarded as her younger generation. At present, the effect is fairly good!
After Pang Yue left, Zheng Yujie whispered with Yang Guo.
"So you're from Xinda company! Why didn't you tell me before?" Her body was close to Yang Guo, but her palm reached Yang Guo's waist. Her thumb and index finger clamped a piece of his soft meat and said angrily.
This action is a little too much! Even Yang Guo, who is so slow, feels that something is wrong, but according to his way of thinking, he first reflects on himself. Yesterday, he learned that Zheng Yujie is an "engaged" person. He is so close to Zheng Yujie and has such intimate actions. Will it have any bad impact on Zheng Yujie?
Yang Guo, who thought he was thoughtful, hurried to distance himself from Zheng Yujie, and then asked in surprise, "Hey, how do you know?"
"But you're wrong," Yang Guo, who loves to chew words, corrected. "The relationship between Xinda company and me is not between employee and employee. I just accept translation tasks through Xinda company."
Zheng Yujie, who was avoided by Yang Guo, looked a little gloomy. She thought the relationship between the two people was closer, but it didn't seem to be as smooth as she thought. However, Zheng Yujie soon recovered, as if nothing had happened just now. She smiled and said, "I know. I have heard of the business model of Xinda company. Yesterday afternoon, their president Yao stood up to support you, making me mistakenly think you work for him!"
"President Yao, is it president Yao Dehua?" Yang Guo said in surprise, "what's the matter?"
Under Zheng Yujie's explanation, Yang Guocai understood that Yao Dehua made a decision yesterday in the storm of public opinion that had just erupted the day before yesterday. He interviewed several major newspapers with relatively good relations, some of which were the mouthpieces of Guangdong Province, and passed on his support for Yang Guo to the outside world through them.
Yang Guo found a newspaper. The one he read was the southern Guangdong evening news, which has always been known as daring to speak. The big title on the fifth edition reads "youth is not the yardstick of strength!"
The south Guangdong evening news analyzed Yang Guo from two perspectives.
On the one hand, through interviews with Yao Dehua and other key employees of Xinda company, we learned the real strength of Yang Guo from them, As Yao Dehua said, "Yang Guo is the most talented and spiritual translator I have ever seen. I have been engaged in this industry for decades, and no one can make me appreciate or even worship him so much. He is the first gold medal translator in our company. With his ability, even if you look at the translation industry in Guangdong Province and count the famous older generation translators, Yang Guo can also be ranked in the top ten!"
On the one hand, by tracing back to the beginning of this matter, I raised the question: do you still judge people who follow the trend by superficial age, seniority and reputation? How many of you have really seen Yang Guo's translated works? You haven't read a book. Why are you so sure that he can't turn it well?
"You can criticize him for 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 destined to become a master!" Yao Dehua gave a very high and possibly controversial evaluation.
Of course, the south Guangdong evening news won't listen to Yao Dehua's family. It also found the most famous translator in the translation industry of Guangdong Province through its own channels - Mr. Yuan Chenghe, Dean of GAOFAN College of Guangdong Foreign Studies University. Yuan Chenghe carefully read the material provided by the south Guangdong evening news that Yang Guo had previously translated for pharmaceutical enterprises, and he also gave a high evaluation - "high quality, great, really rare!"
Although it is not as exaggerated as Yao Dehua, his appreciation and praise of Yang Guo jump on paper!
The southern Guangdong evening news finally concluded from a neutral point of view: "let's let the facts speak for the strength of Yang Guo and the quality of the translation of jobs' biography, but there is no doubt that youth should not be the yardstick of everyone's evaluation!"
Because of a number of reports from Guangdong Province, some unknown situations of Yang Guo have been put in front of people, and the public opinion situation on the Internet has quietly changed. The one-sided Crusade voice has weakened a lot, and more and more people choose to wait and see rationally, which also reduces the pressure on the Public Relations Department of Dongxin publishing house.
There are countless people who add icing on the cake when they succeed. Only when they are frustrated can they show their true feelings by giving timely help. Yang Guo was very moved by Yao Dehua's desperate support. Although his eyes were as calm as ever, his trembling hands holding the newspaper could not hide his mood.
Yang Guo knew that Yao Dehua did not stand up for himself. Even if it was solidarity, there was no need for him to go all out. In doing so, he brought huge potential risks to himself and the company.
Because if the quality of translation is really as bad as everyone suspected after the release of Qiao Jiao's biography, Yao Dehua will really become a big joke in the industry!
Even the reputation and image of Xinda company will be hit in the eyes! Yao Dehua said that Yang Guo is the first person of Xinda company and the leader of gold medal translators. If Yang Guo is criticized by the public because of the translation quality of this book, the strength of Xinda company will also be questioned by customers!
Translation is a small circle, and a little trouble will immediately spread to everyone's ears, not to mention such a national hot topic!
Yao Dehua trusted himself so much that Yang Guo didn't feel great pressure. Instead, he seemed to be encouraged, and his confidence became more and more sufficient!
