Hsu Li-ling frankly admits that the Kander Group is certainly not internationally renowned and has not got enough media pulling power. "In addition, we overlooked the growth of Taiwanese consciousness and the search for roots going on here when we promoted auctions of ink paintings. Most of them were old customers and there were not many people who knew about them."
徐莉苓坦承，建德並非國際知名的拍賣公司，對媒體的吸引力不夠，「加上我們忽略了台灣正熾熱的本土意識和尋根熱潮，推出的是水墨畫的拍賣會，來的多半是老主顧，一般人知道的並不多。」
