Enough money to pay for workers, material, [thousands of other things] and, preferably, some money for the owner or for expansion of facility.

That's an entirely acceptable answer but one entirely different from the one provided. I'm not prepared to assume the man meant something that contradicted his statement, particularly when that explanation would render invalid his entire reasoning for providing it (as he was originally using it as an attempt to defend why it *wasn't* the company's fault).
