第 10 课:我就不拐弯抹角了

Zina: Vince. We're both busy, so I'm not going to beat around the bush. I need a raise. 文斯。大家都很忙,我就不拐弯抹角了。我要加薪。

Vince: I can't do that, Zina. You know I can't. 办不到,吉娜。你知道我无能为力的。

Zina: Bull. I're done my research. I know you still control more than 65 percent of InfoKing options. 胡扯。我做了研究。我知道你仍掌握了“资讯王”百分之六十五以上的股权。

Vince: Who told you that? 谁跟你说的?

Zina: That doesn't matter. I want at least 4 percent. 那不重要。我少说要百分之四。

Vince: Your 3.5 percent share is going to be worth at least a million. 你那百分之三·五的股权,将会值个百万以上。

Zina: I need to be motivated, Vince. Multi-motivated. As in multi-million.
我得要有动力,文斯。多重动力,多重百万的多重。

Vince: What if I said no? 要是我说不呢?

Zina: Ever hear of WebTracker? 有听过“网路搜寻家”吗?

Vince: You wouldn't! If you leave, you'll make nothing. 你不会那样吧!你若是离开,连半毛都赚不到。

Zina: I might make nothing even if I stay. For that kind of risk, I want to get rich. 我留下搞不好也赚不到半毛。 基于这种风险,我要发财。

Vince: OK. If you sign the Stars.com account before WebTracker does, we'll talk next week. 好吧。若是你早“网路搜寻家”一步签下Stars.com这个客户,我们就等下星期再谈。
