英語常用口語每天學 第166期:提供股票認購權
Vince: I want to offer you more InfoKing stock options.
Zina: When you hired me, you knew you were going to be low on cash, didn't you?
Vince: Let me explain. To get more cash, I'll have to borrow more from Vikam, the venture capitalists.
Zina: I know how it works. You don't want to give away any more of your future profits than you have to.
Vince: Exactly. Instead of increasing their position, I want to increase yours.

文斯:我想提供你 InfoKing 的認股權。
吉娜:你在僱用我的當時,就知道你會缺現金,對吧?
文斯:容我解釋。為了要有更多現金,我就得跟投資我們的維康創投借更多的錢。
吉娜:我知道這種運作方式。除非萬不得已,你不會想把更多未來的利潤拱手讓人。
文斯:正是。我不增加他們的股權,反倒要增加你的。
