The company wish to make progress together with the new and former customers both at home and abroad , and ride on the crest of success for the development of the joint undertaking.

公司期許與全體員工和國內外顧客站在同一陣線，為共同事業的發展大展鴻圖。

一般來說，英語中很少有祝福別人「發財」的概念，更不像漢語文化中「發財」還能細分成好幾種不同的方式，像是常見的新年吉祥話「花開富貴」、「財運亨通」、、「五福臨門」、「前途無量」、「鴻圖大展」、「步步高升」，其中包含了錢財方面的意涵，也包含了事業、運勢方面的意涵，而溯其根本，可以考究到上千年前聖人的經典與久遠傳承的儒家文化，這些東方文化的糟粕是很難用三言兩語跟不同文化型態的人解釋的，所以將吉祥話翻譯成英語的話，或許看起來難免會有點言不達意或是有不完全符合的地方了。
