"Fortunately the materials hadn't been used yet. Our only losses were personnel and transportation costs," says Liao Tashang, president of Ching-tai. He notes that compared to big contractors and steel structures firms which rely on one or two large jobs a year to make their money, their losses weren't bad at all.
「幸好材料還沒有用下去，損失的只是人事、搬運等營運成本」，慶泰總經理廖大升說，比起有些就靠一兩個案子過一年的大承包商、鋼構工廠等，這樣的損失還算好。
