My Immortal Big Missy Chapter 978: Not difficult negotiations

Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie will not bring emotional matters to work. At dinner in the evening, the two seemed to have not "argued" just now. For discussions that should be discussed, they should be joking. Even when Yang Guo continued to fine-tune the translation of the "Escape" in the evening, Zheng Yujie also sat on the sofa in the Yang Guo room and looked at him without making any noise.

Early the next morning, Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie left their luggage at the hotel, boarded the small green leather train, and came to Wingham Town. They were picked up by Monroe’s grandmother’s daughter at noon. When I arrived at the lakeside manor of Grandma Monroe.

In fact, it is not a manor in terms of scale. It is said to be a manor. That's because the garden-style yard of Grandma Monroe’s house is a bit too big. Although there was a snowfall yesterday, there were still a lot of egg yolks/colors. The small flowers bloom in the yard, like a sparse sea of ​​flowers, not beautiful enough, but they also have a poetic and picturesque flavor by the lake.

When Yang Guo arrived, Grandma Monroe was holding a book and sitting on the chair in front of her to read.

"If it is summer, I would prefer to read under that cedar tree. There was a maple tree ten years ago, but it was damaged by insects and has been cut down." Grandma Monroe smiled with Yang Guo Said.

As people get older, it’s easy to pick up and talk about the past. Yang Guo accompanied the grandmother to chat about this topic for almost half an hour, and Zheng Yujie also added a few words. Her spoken English is not bad.

Although knowing that Zheng Yujie is the owner of the publishing house, Monroe was surprised at her young age and asked jokingly whether Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie are a pair. Yang Guo naturally denied it, but Zheng Yujie just smiled and did not answer.

At noon, Monroe invited Yang Guo to have a meal together. Prior to this, Yang Guo handed the Swedish translation of "Escape" that had been translated by himself to Monroe, and Monroe passed it to her daughter for her to show it to Professor Anderson and other Swedish friends.

"I just want to say that China’s Mo Yan is very lucky to have such an excellent translator as you!" Monroe smiled and praised, "I have seen a few videos of you in Sweden. The translation of English is very good. Although I can’t understand the Swedish translation of the award ceremony, friends I know also praised it!"

"Mr. Mo Yan is also my teacher." Yang Guo smiled slightly, raised the water glass in his hand, and said, "He is very knowledgeable in literature. Recently, I have been able to get inspiration and progress from him!"

Yang Guo does not like that others attribute the success of teacher Mo Yan to his translation. Yang Guo believes that his translation is only a bridge, allowing foreign readers to have unimpeded access to the works of teacher Mo Yan. However, , The joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys they felt and the touching touches, which in the final analysis is still excellent works of Mo Yan teacher!

Yang Guo can't just translate a well-written book into a mess, right? If Yang Guo has that ability, why should he work so hard to write the book by himself and win the prize himself?

Zheng Yujie understands the meaning of Yang Guo, but she is a little frightened, because Monroe is a customer! Although Yang Guo didn't lose his temper bluntly, he had a suspicion of back-talking. Zheng Yujie worried that Monroe would be unhappy and left with his sleeves.

If this matter is held in China, Yang Guo and their trip will definitely be pornographic. However, foreigners do not think that it is offensive to talk back. On the contrary, Monroe appreciates the sincere attitude of Yang Guo. This appreciation is even more revealing. In her eyes.

"It's really hard to imagine!" Grandma Monroe smiled, "When I met you on the plane, you were a famous model."

"The model is just a guest appearance at the invitation of a friend." Yang Guo shrugged and smiled with Monroe, "I like my current translation profession better, and I also like to learn from you big writers in the translation process. Literary writing!"

After lunch, Monroe and Yang Guo, who have no siesta habit, began to enter the final negotiation.

Receiving the sample contract that Zheng Yujie handed over, Grandma Monroe put it aside, smiled slightly, and said to Yang Guo: "Regardless of the selection of the Nobel Prize in Literature, I am willing to sell these works of mine that have not yet been sold. The Chinese copyright for you!"

"As for the price," Grandma Monroe waved her hand and said, "I don't ask too much. As long as you give me a market price, that's enough!"

Zheng Yujie looked at her in surprise and asked: "Really?"

Grandma Monroe did not answer directly. She said to herself as if she was telling a story: "Before you, two Chinese publishing houses came to me and both wanted the book "Dear Life". Chinese copyright."

Grandma Monroe turned her head and looked at Yang Guo with piercing eyes. She asked: "The price they offered is not low. Do you know why I didn't agree?"

Yang Guo shook his head.

"Because they can't come up with the ability to make me believe!" Grandma Monroe sighed and said, "In 2003, my "Who do you think you are?" was approved by your Dongxin Publishing House, a very good one in China. The big publishing group has published it!"

Dongxin Publishing House...Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie looked at each other, and they both saw each other's surprise.

"The response was very sluggish." Grandma Monroe shook her head and said, "I know scholars and friends in China, and they told me that the translation is terrible..." She did not comment too much.

This book, in the last century, allowed Monroe to win the Booker Prize, the highest award in contemporary English novels! No wonder Grandma Monroe was so lost.

"So after that, my work has not sold the Chinese copyright! Now, I just want to hand over my work to a good translator who understands my work!" Grandma Monroe looked at Yang Guo, affirmative To say.

If it is Chinese copyright, Xinyilu Publishing House will receive more than ten works of Monroe Granny, including one of her novels and nearly ten collections of short stories that have not sold Chinese copyrights! This is a bumper harvest that Yang Guo did not expect before they came! (Originally~IndoMTL.com~Yang Guo they just wanted the book "Dear Life"!)

Yang Guo was already brewing to express his passionate gratitude to Monroe, and Zheng Yujie suddenly leaned forward and said: "Ms. Monroe, in fact, you can also consider giving the copyright to other foreign languages ​​of your work. We! I believe you have also known, Mr. Mo Yan, his novels have been translated into more than a dozen languages ​​and are selling well all over the world! This is all our publishing house is helping to operate!"

It seems that greed is insufficient, but Zheng Yujie does not. She wants to strive for more development opportunities for Xinyilu Publishing House! Based on Mo Yan's works and online novels alone, the development of Xinyilu will be greatly limited. To grow into a giant that can compete with Dongxin Publishing House, Xinyilu must increase its business diversity!

"It's okay to leave it to you!" Grandma Monroe is old but in good spirits. She smiled slyly and said, "But why not be like Mr. Mo Yan? We set a premise, that is, wait for me. After winning the Nobel Prize in Literature?"
