Page-2 of Howie's welcome speech written (translated) into Japanese language, spelled so I could pronounce the words (referred to a 'romaji'). The English speech was: Greetings to our Japanese Manufacturers. We very much appreciate you attending and adding beauty to our Show; you came a long distance across the Pacific Ocean. I, and all of our employees, express our sincere thanks. Although it has been only a short time since we began doing business in Japan and importing and selling KB bicycles, we have reached modest success and grown year by year. The success is not only due to the cooperation of the Dealers, but also to the Japanese manufacturers who are cooperating with us by supplying us with high-quality products at reasonable prices, which is what is required by the market. For this, we also express our sincere thanks. Our company has not yet grown-up completely, we think we need more time to reach our full potential. Therefore, we hope you will continue to bestow your favor upon us in the future as you have done so graciously over the past several years. Thank you for listening to me. |
