Nau mai ki ngā kiritaki o Awherika ki te toro mai ki tā mātou wheketere

I te 9:00 i te ata, me te waiata powhiri harikoa, ka tū te tīma rangatira matua o te kamupene ki mua i te kēti o te kamupene, me te manaaki manuhiri mai i tawhiti me te tino hihiri. I tū ake te perehitini o te kamupene ki mua, ka rūrū ringa ki te upoko o te māngai kiritaki Āwherika, ā, ka tuku i tētahi whaikōrero powhiri mahana: "I tēnei wā ataahua, he tino honore ki a mātou te manaaki i ō mātou hoa Āwherika. Ehara i te mea he whakamihi noa iho tēnei i tā mātou mahi tahi o mua, engari he tumanako ataahua hoki mō te whanaketanga angitu-toa a meake nei. Ko tā mātou e tumanako nei mā te haerenga mai me te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero o tēnei rā, ka taea e tātou te whakapakari ake i tō tātou whakahoahoa me te tūhura i ngā huarahi maha atu mō te mahi tahi."

I haere hōhonu te tira ki roto i te raina whakaputa, ā, i tirotirohia e rātou te tukanga aunoa, te pūnaha whakahaere kounga, me ngā mahi tiaki taiao o te raina whakaputa. I roto i te awheawhe whakaputa, kua waiho e te mahi pakari me te reremahi whai hua a ngā kaimahi he whakaaro nui ki ngā kaihoko. Kua kī mai ngā kaihoko o Āwherika ko te whakahaere whakaputa taumata teitei te whanonga e tumanakohia ana e ā rātou hoa mahi, e whakanui ake ana i tō rātou maia ki te mahi tahi me mātou.

I te wā tina, i kai tahi ngā rōpū e rua i te whare hakari o te kamupene, ā, he rangimārie te āhua. Ehara i te mea i reka noa iho rātou i ngā kai Hainamana pono, engari i whakawhitiwhiti kōrero hōhonu hoki mō ngā au o te mākete, ngā moemoeā mahi tahi, me ngā kaupapa mahi tahi pea i roto i te āhua marino me te ahuareka. E tino mihi ana ngā kiritaki o Awherika ki te manaakitanga mahana o te kamupene me ōna pūkenga ngaio, ā, e whakaatu ana i te hiahia nui mō te mahi tahi ā muri ake nei.
I te ahiahi, i tū he hui whiriwhiringa pakihi hōhonu ki ngā taha e rua, ā, i whai kōrero motuhake, whai hua hoki mō te whakawhiti hangarau, te mahi tahi ki te kaha whakaputa, te whakawhānui i te mākete, me ētahi atu āhuatanga. I te mutunga o te hui, i whakapuaki ngā taha e rua i ō rātou wawata ataahua mō te mahi tahi ā muri ake nei, ā, i whakaae ki te whakatū i tētahi rōpū mahi motuhake hei whakatere i te whakatinanatanga o ngā take mahi tahi e tika ana.

I te torengitanga o te rā, ka mutu pai te haerenga me te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero. I te hui poroporoaki, i whakapuaki anō te Tumu Whakahaere i tōna mihi mō te haerenga mai o ngā kiritaki Āwherika, ā, i whakanuia, "Ko te huihuinga o tēnei rā te tīmatanga o te mahi tahi a āpōpō. Kei te tumanako mātou ki te mahi tahi me ō mātou hoa Āwherika ki te waihanga i tētahi heke mai kanapa." I whakahoki anō te upoko o te tira kiritaki Āwherika, "Kua tino miharo mātou ki te kaha me te pono o ō mātou kiritaki i tēnei haerenga. E ki ana mātou i ngā tumanakohanga mō te mahi tahi a meake nei, ā, e whakapono ana mātou mā roto i ngā mahi tahi, ka taea e tātou te whakatutuki i ngā painga tahi me ngā hua wikitoria-toa."
Nā tēnei haerenga ki Āwherika, ehara i te mea i whakakaha ake i te hononga kare ā-roto i waenganui i ngā rōpū e rua, engari i whakatuwherahia hoki he upoko hou mō [ingoa kamupene] ki te tūhura i te mākete Āwherika me te whakakaha ake i te mahi tahi o te ao. E tino whakapono ana mātou, i runga i te whakaute tetahi ki tetahi, te ōritetanga, me te painga tetahi ki tetahi, ka tino hua ake ngā hua o tā mātou mahi tahi.
