0:17 Sally, do you know what the idiom 'cash cow' means?
0:22 Yes Jim, a cash cow is a source of easy and continuous profit.
0:29 Correct. A 'cash cow' may be a product, a business or an organization which needs a very small amount of maintenance cost to run,
0:38 compared to the huge profit or income it generates.
0:42 For example, Windows is the cash cow that made Microsoft a huge company.
0:48 You are right, Sally. Microsoft is making a huge amount of money from the Windows product; it's their cash cow.
0:57 A cash cow may be anything which is a dependable source of income with its large and steady cash flow.

1:23 Suzanne told me that the new product would become a cash cow.
1:28 Sure, it's already taking off in the market.
1:31 Mr. Brown's ideas are brilliant! He should have been made the CEO years ago.
1:37 Right! His new idea is the company's new cash cow.

1:57 I doubt that! There's a strong protest against it going on.
2:03 Yeah, they fear that the mining will destroy the ecosystem.
2:13 The next Olympics will cost a lot of money to organize.

2:22 I'm not so sure. I've heard they cost more to host than they bring in.
2:27 Well, at least it will be a cash cow for the merchants in that area.
2:32 Yeah! For them it'll be a real boon!
