I work for a foreign company which moved a factory here from another country fairly recently.
我為一家外國公司工作,公司最近將一家工廠從這里搬到了另一個國家。
The size of the available site was important, but it was the package of state aid which determined where the factory ended up.
可用地址的規模很重要,但是是一攬子國家補助最終決定工廠的地址。
There was a lot of competition to construct it, and in the end, the contract went to a consortium,
建造中有很多競爭,最終,把合同交給了一個商社型集團
but they had all sorts of problems, financial ones mostly, and there was a lot of bickering between the companies involved.
但是他們有各種問題,大部分是財務問題,參與公司之間存在很多爭論。
The upshot of it all was that the move was terribly overdue. Luckily, there was a penalty clause in the contract,
爭論的結果是搬遷嚴重超期了。幸運的是,合同中有一條違約罰金條款,
so we didn't lose as much money as we would have done otherwise, but a lot of the people we'd offered jobs to went elsewhere.
所以我們沒有損失太過錢,但我們的很多雇員去了其他公司。
