A: Mr. Williams, here it is! This street is busy, do you agree? Here is the
traditional commercial and retail center with a large stream of people. Also, it
is near the metro station and only ten minutes to the Star Ferry. The location
makes for a very good
choice.
威廉姆斯先生，就是這幾個商鋪。這條街道非常繁忙，是吧？這里是傳統商業和零售區，人流量非常大。加上鄰近地鐵站，步行到天星碼頭只要大概十分鐘。這地段是個非常不錯的選擇。
B: Yes. The shops are crowded with customers, especially the watch shop. I
believe that almost ten people walk into that shop every
minute.
是啊，這些店有很多客人，特別是這家表店。估計每分鐘差不多有十個顧客進去。
C: I have no doubt about this location. The most important things are that we
calculate the rate of return and study its market potential. Also, we must talk
to the bank for the mortgage
arrangement.
我覺得這地段沒什么問題。最重要的是我們得計算回報率和研究升值能力。我們還得和銀行談談按揭的事情?！?BR>
A: I
understand this is not a simple deal, and all of us have to work it out
prudently.
我明白這不是一宗簡單的買賣，大家需要慎重考慮。
B: After I have finished the valuation, I will let you
know.
我完成評估工作后再和你聯系。
C: Also, you have to persuade the landlord to offer better payment terms and
price. We are really interested in these
shops.
你還得嘗試勸說業主優惠一下價錢和付款方式。我們公司對這些商鋪真的很感興趣。
A: Certainly, I also want to see the deal succeed. I will contact the
landlord to let him know your company is interested in his property, and see if
he could offer you a better
price.
這個我肯定會，我也很想達成這宗交易。我會聯系業主，告訴他你的公司很感興趣，并勸說他給你們一個好價錢。
B: Great!
How about having some tea with us? We can discuss it over in the
restaurant.
好，不如一起喝下午茶吧？大家可以在餐廳討論一下。
A: Great idea.
好的。
