The financial part of the negotiations went smoothly; Jobs was eager not to make Gassée's mistake of overreaching.
財(cái)務(wù)部分的談判進(jìn)行得很順利，喬布斯想避免加西所犯的獅子大開(kāi)口的錯(cuò)誤。
He suggested that Apple pay $12 a share for NeXT. That would amount to about $500 million.
他建議蘋(píng)果以每股12美元的價(jià)格收購(gòu)NeXT，總價(jià)值將達(dá)5億美元。
Amelio said that was too high. He countered with $10 a share, or just over $400 million.
阿梅里奧說(shuō)價(jià)格太高了。他還價(jià)到每股10美元，總價(jià)4億美元。
Unlike Be, NeXT had an actual product, real revenues, and a great team,
跟Be不同的是，NeXT有實(shí)際的產(chǎn)品、確實(shí)的收入，以及出色的團(tuán)隊(duì)，
but Jobs was nevertheless pleasantly surprised at that counteroffer. He accepted immediately.
但盡管如此，喬布斯還是對(duì)這個(gè)報(bào)價(jià)感到驚喜。他立即接受了。
One sticking point was that Jobs wanted his payout to be in cash.
談判的一個(gè)膠著點(diǎn)，是喬布斯希望蘋(píng)果付給他現(xiàn)金。
Amelio insisted that he needed to "have skin in the game" and take the payout in stock that he would agree to hold for at least a year.
阿梅里奧堅(jiān)持說(shuō)他應(yīng)該與公司共存亡，只能付給他股票，而且他要同意持股至少一年。
Jobs resisted. Finally, they compromised: Jobs would take $120 million in cash and $37 million in stock,
喬布斯不愿意。最后，雙方都作出了讓步。喬布斯將拿到1.2億美元的現(xiàn)金和價(jià)值3700萬(wàn)美元的股票，
and he pledged to hold the stock for at least six months.
并承諾持有這些股票最少6個(gè)月。
