Te Kōrero mō te Ara: Kua tino pai te haere a Nancy i ngā tau rua tekau kua pahure ake nei i te Canton Fair!
I te wā i haere tuatahi ai a Nancy Du ki te Canton Fair i te tau 1999, kāore ia i te mōhio ko te tohu noa iho e iri ana i tōna kaki ka waiho hei tīmatanga mō tētahi mea tino motuhake. He angiangi te tohu, he mea hanga ki te pepa. Ko tōna ingoa anake i tāia, engari i huaki te tatau ki tētahi ao ka tautuhi i tana mahi, tana moemoeā, me te ngākau o te Rōpū Runtong & Wayeah.
1999: Te Hipanga Tuatahi o te Maia
I haruru te whare i te harikoa, ā, i pū te hau i te hiahia. He torutoru noa ngā tauira a Nancy me te puranga pukapuka i tāia e ia anō, engari i harikoa ia ki te tohatoha i ēnei ki ngā kaihoko. Kāore ia i te tino mōhio he aha te mea e tumanakohia ana, mehemea rānei ka toro atu tetahi. Engari i tae mai tetahi! Ko tana kaihoko tuatahi, he kaihoko kawemai iti ataahua mai i Āwherika, i tata ki te hawhe haora e kōrero ana ki a ia mō ngā rauemi me te takai. Ahakoa he iti noa te mahi, ki a Nancy, he rite ki te whakatutukitanga nui.
2000: Kotahi noa te wāhanga o te Canton Fair
I taua wā, kotahi noa te wā i tū ai te Canton Fair i ia tau, ā, he mea mahi ā-ringa ngā mea katoa. He māmā noa iho ngā tūru, he mea tuhi ā-ringa ngā puka tono, ā, i tae mai ngā kaihoko me ngā pukapuka rarangi taonga matotoru. E maumahara ana a Nancy ki te tatari mō ngā haora ki te rēhita i roto i te rārangi, me tana kawe ā-ringa i ngā pouaka tauira hua. "He uaua ia taahiraa," e kī ana ia, "engari i tino mohio ahau i ia uauatanga — koinei te wāhi e tika ana ahau."
2004: Te Kimi i te Aronga — Te Tiaki Hu
He tau nui te tau 2004 mā mātou. I kitea e Nancy te kaupapa tiaki hu - he iti nei te hiahia engari kei te piki haere tonu i waenga i ngā kaihoko o te ao. Kei te tino kite ahau he rerekē ēnei hua i ngā taonga ahua. Ko ngā taipitopito me te kounga te mea nui, ā, he mea nui tēnā. I kite ia he mea tēnei ka taea e ia te mahi pai. I taua tau anō, ka hoki ia ki te kāinga, ka tīmata ki te whakawhanake i tana raina tuatahi o te whakakanapa hu me ngā takahanga o roto.
2002: Tūhurahia ngā Hua e rite ana ki ngā hiahia whanaketanga a ngā kiritaki
Koinā ngā tau o te rapu — i whakamātau a Nancy i ngā momo hua katoa, mai i ngā taonga o ia rā ki ngā taputapu haere, me te kore e tino mōhio ko tēhea te huarahi hei whai. "Kāore anō kia whiwhi au i tētahi hua e tino whakaatu ana i ahau," tana whakaae. "Engari he whakapono tōku — ki te haere tonu ahau, ka kitea e au."
2006: Te neke mai i te tēpu ki te tūru
I te tau 2006, kua whai tūru a Nancy, he tino whakahihiri! He tino ngaio ake te āhua o ngā hua, ā, he tino ma ake te takai. Waimarie, i mahara te iwi ki tōna mata – "Te wahine whai peita hū mai i Yangzhou." Kua tupu haere te Canton Fair, pērā i te kaha kaweake o Haina e tipu haere ana! Ki a Nancy, he wheako tino whakahihiri, he wheako whakaiti hoki – i rite ia ki te wāhanga o tētahi mea nui atu i a ia anō.
2013: Te Mana o te Whakawhirinaki
Tekau tau te roa. I toro atu tonu ētahi o ana kaihoko tuatahi ki tana tūru, me te mihi atu ki a ia pērā i tētahi hoa tawhito, he tino ataahua. Kua tipu tahi rātou – ā rātou pakihi, ō rātou whānau, ā rātou moemoeā. "Kāore mātou i hokohoko noa i ngā taonga," te kī a Nancy. "I roto mātou katoa i tēnei mahi tahi, e mōhio ana koe, me whakawhirinaki mātou tetahi ki tetahi."
2015: Te Ataata i te Wā o te Wharekai
I tēnei wā, kua rerekē te whakaaturanga — kei reira ngā pouaka rama me ngā tauira kua whakaritea pai, me tētahi tīma iti e menemene ana i tōna taha. Kāore a Nancy i te mokemoke. Kua whakatūria e ia tētahi whatunga ngaio i roto i te whakaaturanga. "Ehara ia tohu i te taonga," tana kī. He maumaharatanga nui tēnei mō te tangata i a mātou i taua wā."
2023: Te Huihuinga me te Manawanui
Whai muri i te mate urutā, i rite te Canton Fair o te tau 2023 ki tētahi huihuinga anō. I kukume mai te tūru o Nancy i ngā hoa mahi kāore i kitea e ia i roto i ngā tau. I arotahi ngā kōrero ki te manawanui, ngā mekameka tuku taonga, me te hiranga o te pupuri i te hihiri i roto i te hokohoko. "I taua tau, nui atu i te pakihi, ko te hononga te kaupapa," tana kī.
Mai i te Tangata Kotahi ki te Tīma, Mai i ngā Kiritaki ki ngā Hoa Mahi
Ina kōrero a Nancy mō te haerenga a Runtong, kāore ia e tīmata me ngā tau, me ngā whakahau rānei.
Ka tīmata ia me ngā tāngata – ngā kanohi i tūtaki ia ki te Canton Fair, ngā ingoa kua tuhia ki ngā kāri pakihi e kōwhai ana, me ngā rūrū ringa maha i tīmata ehara i te mea nā ngā kirimana, engari nā te whakawhirinaki.
Whai muri i te whakatau rautaki a Nancy i te tau 2004 ki te arotahi ki te tiaki hu me ngā hua o roto o te takahanga, ka tīmata te whare iti i nohoia e ia i mua ki te kukume mai i ngā kaihoko e hoki mai ana. Ko ētahi o ēnei tāngata he kaihoko tūturu nō Ūropi, ā, i whakapau kaha rātou ki te toro atu i ia tau, ehara i te mea ki te tuku ota anake engari ki te kōrero hoki mō ngā au o te mākete, ngā whakahoutanga whānau, me ngā toa hou e tuwhera ana.
"Kāore rātou i kite noa i ahau hei kaiwhakarato," te kī mārie a Nancy. "I manaaki rātou i ahau hei hoa mahi kua roa nei e mahi tahi ana rāua."
I whānui haere te pakihi a Runtong i roto i te huarahi ōrite - i roto i te huarahi huna, pumau, me te aroha. I ako a Nancy i roto i te hokohoko, ko te whakawhirinaki te moni tūturu. Ko te hua pai te taahiraa tuatahi, engari he mea nui anō hoki kia whakanuia te hiranga o te pono me te pono kia mau tonu ai te whanaungatanga pai ki ngā kiritaki.
He wā anō i iti ake ai te whai huatanga o ngā kaipuke, i puta rānei ngā wero i ngā reiti whakawhiti moni.
Ka mahi a Nancy i te pō roa ki te whakautu i ngā pātai a ngā kiritaki, me te whakarato whakamārama whānui, me te whakarite kia mārama, kia maioha hoki ia kiritaki. "I ētahi wā, ehara i te whakaoti rapanga tonu te whāinga," tana mahara. Ko te whāinga he kōrero ki te tangata kē atu kei a rātou te tautoko, ā, kāore rātou i te mokemoke.
I taua wā, he nui ngā īmēra i tīmata me ēnei kupu:
"E Nancy, ngā mihi nui ki a koe mō tō māramatanga..."
"Kaua e manukanuka, ka tatari noa mātou mō tāu tuku e whai ake nei."
He māmā noa iho ngā kupu, engari ki a Nancy, he mahana te mau.
I te pakeketanga o te kamupene, ka tīmata te whakatūnga o te Tīma Runtong & Wayeah — ehara i te mea he hanganga umanga, engari he porowhita o ngā tāngata e honoa ana e te whakapono kotahi: mā te mahi pakihi me te pono ka mau mai ngā hononga pumau.
He tokomaha o ā rātou kiritaki kua mahi tahi me rātou mō ngā tau neke atu i te tekau. Ko ētahi o ēnei tāngata i toro atu ki te wheketere i Yangzhou, ehara i te mea hei tirotiro, engari hei whakatipu i te whakahoahoa. I mauria mai e rātou he koha mai i ō rātou whenua, i tango whakaahua me te tīma, i kai tahi, ā, i wheako i ngā wā whakahoahoa.
I kōrero tētahi o ngā kiritaki roa a Nancy nō Amerika ki te Tonga, he rite te haere ki tana tūru ki te hoki ki te kāinga.
Ki a Nancy, koinei te momo whakamihi teitei rawa atu kua riro i a ia.
I te hāerenga o te wā, kāore te kamupene i whai i te whakawhānui tere, i te whānuitanga rānei o ngā hua. Engari, i arotahi rātou ki te noho hei hoa pono — te tere o te urupare, te ngāwari o te whakarite, me te pupuri i ngā kupu whakaari.
I whakamāramahia ia whakautu īmēra, ia tauira i tukuna, me ia tuku i whakaroahia me te manawanui, ā, i whai wāhi atu ki te hanga haere i te ingoa o Runtong ki tāwāhi.
Me mārama ko ia ipu i tukuna ehara i te mea he tauhokohoko pakihi anake; engari he whanaungatanga anō hoki.
I roto i ia pouaka te taumaha o ngā kōrerorero, te whakawhirinaki, me te manaaki — he hononga i hangaia mō ngā tau maha o te pumau.
I ēnei rā, ina toro mai ngā kiritaki hou ki te tūru o Runtong, ka pātai mai mō ngā āhuatanga ahurei e wehewehe ana i tā mātou kamupene, kua rite mātou ki te whakautu. Ka menemene a Nancy, ka mea, "Ko te mea pea ko tā mātou e maumahara ana ki te tangata, ehara i te utu anake, koinei te take."
Ehara i te mea nā te whānui te tipu o te Tīma Runtong & Wayeah, engari nā te whakapau kaha ki te hiranga me te māramatanga pakari ki te kaupapa.
Te Whakaaturanga Canton 138: He Upoko Hou o ngā Tūtakitanga
I te whakatuwheratanga o te 138 o ngā Huihuinga Canton, kua tae mai anō te Tīma Runtong & Wayeah ki te whare rongonui engari e whanake tonu ana. He whakaata te tūru hou i te tohungatanga o Nancy, e whakaatu ana i te papatae tae marino, te tahora tuwhera, me ngā hua e kōrero ana mō rātou anō.
I tēnei tau, e whakahīhī ana te tīma ki te whakaatu i tētahi whakatupuranga hou o ngā takai whakamarie me ngā ariā takai koretake, i hangaia mō ngā kiritaki o te ao e rapu ana i te mahi tahi OEM/ODM. "Ko tā mātou whāinga he waihanga i tētahi taiao e whakaoho ana i te ahua o tētahi kōrero e whanake ana," te whakamārama a Nancy. "Nā te mea ka uru ia manuhiri ki tā mātou upoko e whai ake nei."
Wāhanga Whakamutunga: Mai i te Tangata Kotahi ki te Tīma, Mai i te Huarahi ki te Kaupapa
Kua whai wāhi atu a Runtong ki ngā whakaaturanga hokohoko maha i roto i ngā tau rua tekau kua pahure ake nei, ā, i roto i taua wā kua whakatūria e ia he maha ngā hononga pakihi. Mai i te tohu pepa o te tau 1999 ki te smart pass o te tau 2025, kua aro tonu a Nancy ki te heke mai.
He kamupene rongonui a Runtong & Wayeah Team mō tōna whakapau kaha ki te mahi toi, te pono me te mahi tahi. He mihi nui ki ngā hoa katoa, ngā hoa tawhito me ngā hoa hou, kia tūtaki anō ki a mātou i te Wāhi 14.4 I12 me te 5.2 F12, kia haere tonu ai tātou i tēnei ara roa, ataahua hoki.
