9. Read and translate the dialogue:

Jay Richards is consulting his financial adviser:

Jay: As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of starting an automobile agency. Could you tell me how I should finance this business?

Adv: Sure, Jay. If you've got some money of your own, you can operate on a cash basis: no credit given, no money borrowed. But a firm of this kind is usually a short lived one.

Jay: Shall I get credit from the bank then?

Adv; Not necessarily. You may just as well go to any insurance company and they will be only glad to help you, or at least they will try to show it.

Jay: Suppose I get their money to construct a building. But I'll need a lot more money to pay for the tools and equipment.

Adv: Oh, that's not a problem either. The car manufacturers will pay for it on a credit basis. And of course, you will get a loan from the bank to pay other expenses.

Jay: But that will mean a lot of money! How shall I pay it back?

Adv: Don't worry! The more money you invest the more rapid the progress you will make. You will certainly have idle money very soon. But do not let it stay idle. Invest and get profit out of it.

Jay: O.K. Thanks for the advice. I'll call in later for more details, if you don't mind.

Adv: Of course I don't. I'll be glad to see you any time of the day.
