1 serious
На языке бизнеса serious (серьёзный) значит важный, достойный серьёзного внимания. Serious money («серьёзные деньги») — крупная сумма денег. В этом смысле слово serious сначала обозначало не деньги, а предложение денег, на которое можно надеяться. Для некоторых бизнесменов serious money обозначает, по крайней мере, несколько миллионов. Выражение to talk serious money означает вести переговоры, касающиеся больших денег.If you're thinking of buying a house in Belgravia, you're talking serious money. — Если вы думаете о покупке дома в Белгравии, то речь идёт о больших деньгах.
