[00:31.44]J：喬治，你的推薦讓大家感到很意外。 [00:33.04]We felt there should have been at least one facility we could buy or lease, [00:35.20]原以為那兒總會有一處廠房讓我們買下或是租賃， [00:37.36]rather than our having to build a new plant. [00:38.90]而不是非得新建一個工廠。 [00:40.44]George:Jenny, I inspected every facility in the area, and not one of them was adequate. [00:43.53]喬治：詹妮，那一區(qū)域的廠房設(shè)施我都去看了，但沒有一處適合。 [00:46.63]The real estate broker I've been working with agrees that it's highly unlikely we'll find one suited to our needs. [00:50.17]與我們合作的房地產(chǎn)經(jīng)紀人認定，這兒難以找到一處合適的廠房滿足我們的要求。 [00:53.71]J:All right, then why don't you bring me up-to-date on this piece of property you wanted me to check out? [00:56.72]J：好吧，那你還是向我說說要我來看的這塊地皮的最新信息吧! [00:59.74]G:O.K. It's 18 acres in the northern part of the state, near Seattle. It's unimproved land, [01:03.45]G：好的。這塊地皮占地18公傾，在加州的北部，離西雅圖很近，雖還未開發(fā)。 [01:07.16]but the location is perfect-with excellent access to main roads as well as to a railroad line that extends the full length of one side of the property. [01:12.02]但地理位置相當不錯------交通便捷，靠近公路干線，有一面還緊靠一條鐵路。 [01:16.88]At $200 000, it's by far our best buy. [01:19.27]售價是20萬美元，是到目前為止給出的最低價。 [01:21.66]J:$200 000 for unimproved land? That's a little high, Georger. And 18 acres? [01:25.32]J：花20萬美元買一塊還未開發(fā)的地皮?給的價也有點高了，喬治。而且占地18公頃。 [01:28.97]That's almost double what we originally had mind. [01:30.61]此我們原來設(shè)想的面積幾乎大了一倍。 [01:32.24]We'll never get the Board's approval on it. [01:33.44]我們永遠得不到董事會的同意。 [01:34.64]G:Well, I think it's worth it, even at that price. But I did contact the owner, [01:37.48]G：但我覺得，就是花上20萬美元，仍然值。況且我還與土地的擁有者聯(lián)系過了， [01:40.31]and he may be willing to lower his price to $180 000... maybe less. [01:43.29]他或許愿意降低價格，降到18萬.....或者再少要一些. [01:46.27]J:Hmm... Let's put in a bid of $150 000. The owner may counterbid and we may be able to settle for something between $160 and $170 000. [01:52.52]J：嗯... 我們把要價定在15萬吧!那塊土地的主人也許會還價，這樣的話，我們或許能把價格最后定在16至17萬之間。 [01:58.78]G:I'll leave everything regarding bids and counterbids up to you. [02:01.26]G：我會把出價，還價這一切事情都交給你辦的。 [02:03.74]But there's another important factor to keep in mind. [02:05.39]而且還有一個很重要的停息我們不能忘了。 [02:07.03]In order to attract new industry, California issues industrial revenue bonds. [02:10.02]為了吸引新的產(chǎn)業(yè)，加州發(fā)行了工業(yè)收益?zhèn)? [02:13.02]The proceeds from the bonds would be made available to us at a very low interest rate to help finance the construction. [02:16.91]債券的收益將以極低的利率貸給我們，我們就可以獲得建設(shè)資金了。 [02:20.80]J:Let's be sure to include that in our report to our president, Peter. [02:23.01]J：那我們一定要把這一點寫進給總裁彼得的報告里。 [02:25.21]Who knows, George? If this property is as good as you say, [02:27.17]誰也說不準，喬治，你說呢?如果這塊地皮像你說的那么好， [02:29.13]we may be on the way to a real estate purchase. [02:30.48]我們或許要就入手買下它了。 [02:31.82]G:I'm sure of it, Jenny, but we've got to move fast. [02:33.73]G：詹妮，我很有把握，但我們一定要快點入手。 [02:35.64]A lot of private investors are buying up land around here. [02:37.60]很多的投資個人都在這一帶買地。 [02:39.56]In fact, that's how I lost my first choice. An investor must have heard I was interested, [02:42.61]實際上，我因此丟了首選的那塊地方。有一個投資商一定是聽說了我對那塊地皮感興趣， [02:45.67]and before I could even contact you and Peter, he had already signed a deal with the owner. [02:48.67]就在我與你和彼得聯(lián)系之前，搶先與那塊土地的擁有者簽了合同。 [02:51.68]J:Well, in that case, let's go and inspect the property - ... all 18 acres of it... [02:54.46]J：那，這樣的話，我們趕快去視察那塊土地-------18公頃的一大地...
