Little did anyone expect that last October the Chiutang factory would experience its first financial losses in 46 years. Add to this that NT $ 5 billion was being invested in equipment coming in at the end of the year--an investment decision that looked not at all problematical when times were good--and the result was a financial crisis.
沒想到去年十月開始，久堂廠發生建廠四十六年來的第一次虧損，加上年底進來的這部新機器（連汽電共生設備）投資額高達五十億元，決定投資時景氣尚好，不覺得有問題，如今財務吃緊，只好忍痛裁員。
