In late November, Nguyen was seated at the dinner table in Steve Job’s home on Waverly St in Palo Alto. Also present were Eddy Cue and Tim Cook and other Apple executives. Steve led the conversation while eating a beet salad:
“I’m going to give you a number, Bill, and if you like it, let’s do it and just be done with this whole thing. Okay?” Bill agreed.
Jobs passed a piece of paper to Nguyen and Bill nodded. The deal was done.
That’s the way you get shit done.
exactly!
and thats how the game is played. 🙂
I love when you post Steve stories. Thanks for sharing with us.
So Nokia was pretty close with their offer…
Cool story. But, I’m way more impressed by Drew Houston turning down Steve Jobs to build Dropbox independently. Stone cold!

Cool story. But, I’m way more impressed Drew Houston turning down his idol to keep building Dropbox independently. Stone cold!
