BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 155: RELAX

    Podin's efforts to open a grocery store have already begun. The development has been done by developers who are trusted by Cik Melan. And of course the construction of the store went well, which obviously was no problem. Of course because it is supported by money owned by Podin is very infinitive. Yes, as the word goes, the money owned by Podin is endless. That was also what was once suspected by Cik Melan, his wife who always used her reasoning.

    "Pah .., I was called by the developer, he said the building was finished one hundred percent. As always, Pah, according to the contract, for the payment of contract repayment must be given immediately" Cik Melan told Podin.

    "Yes ..., Mah ..." answered Podin casually.

    "But later we still have to hold the building warranty deposit, Pah .... At least three months" said his wife again, who explained that the payment was still in part held as collateral.

    "Yes .., Mah .... Anyway the matah mamah ..." replied Podin who remained relaxed.

    "Because .... Just relax ...?!" said his wife who is certainly anxious to see the attitude of her husband who is very relaxed.

    "Big, Mah .... If so, I am resigned. Unable to think. Well, understandably, Mah ..., I was a bit stupid times, yes ..." said Podin who remained relaxed.

    With a response like that, certainly Ms. Melan understood. Yes, indeed her husband is rich, her husband is a lot of money, but about managing money, let alone business, Podin does not understand anything. Ms. Melan thinks that her husband is a lucky man. How not, someone from the village, from the village, did not go to school, and of course also not smart, but in reality given the gift of good money-making. So that he can be rich. Yes, all fate that determines is almighty. And certainly Podin is one of those who have been given excessive wealth by the Almighty.

    "Well, if that's what I have to think, it's okay .... But about the finances of Papah who loves you, yes ..." said Ms. Melan who of course while joking at her husband.

    "Yes, Mah .... Just relax ..." replied Podin who was completely relaxed, as if there were no problems with money. So when his wife questioned the payment of his store building, Podin still relaxed. Maybe Podin's money is still a myriad.

    "I mean .., our building is finished, Pah .... Means, soon if the building is handed to us by the contractor, we are ready to shop for goods .... We're going to fill that shop, Pah .... Of course, we also need capital again, Pah .... For shopping all the fixtures, all the materials, and all the items we will sell in that store. I'm saying .... And that's also a big capital, Pah .." said Ms. Melan to Podin, who of course also conveyed her needs.

    Indeed, in opening a store business it is not only needed to build the store, build the building only, provide a place, but in opening a store, in addition to a place, in addition to the building to be used for selling, there must also be equipped with various merchandise shelves, various storefronts that will be used to put goods. That's just the need for the prasaran equipment. Not to mention if you have to fill the yokonya, hold merchandise, items that will be sold in the store, must definitely shop with very large capital. Let's say the grocery store, which must be sold is not only rice, but also there is cooking oil, there are kitchen spices, there is sugar, there is salt, there is soy sauce, and there are other daily needs, which at least certainly requires a very large capital to shop to fulfill the merchandise. And at least, later, to bring in the goods that will be sold, they will need a large amount of money again in shopping.

    "Yes .., Mah .... I know it. Relax ..." said Podin who certainly also experienced the same thing when he and Lesti opened a grocery store in the shop where he lived.

    Although said casually like that, but surely Podin also realized how it took a large fund to fill the store's merchandise. Podin recalled, when he was asked for money by Lesti to shop to fill his shop, he had to run to Jakarta to ask about money problems, to ask for profits at his place of business, he had to run to Jakarta to ask for money, Podin asked Ms. Melan. But at that time, it happened that the place of business whose finances were managed by Cik Melan, as an employee of the financial section, where karaoke entertainment was in need of funds as well. Yes, because of the fire case, then Ms. Melan who was provided to take care of the place, had to fix all the infrastructure facilities in the karaoke entertainment place. At that time, Podin did not get funding at all. Podin did not get the money to raise the capital needed by Lesti. Even when he came home, he found his wife making out in his room with another man. That's what caused Podin to ride apoplexy. Podin's furious. Podin was emotional, and finally Lesti, his wife who invited him to the business of opening the store was immediately abandoned.

    Now Podin is experiencing the same thing again. After he was able to wake up the place of business, make a building, wake up the store, to sell groceries, and now Podin has to re-think the capital to shop the groceries. Podin had to try to find money as capital to complete the trade in his shop.

    Hearing his wife's words, Podin smiled. His new wife, Ms. Melan, was indeed different from his previous wives. If when opening a business with Lesti, when it was short of funds to shop for goods needs to be sold, merchandise that must be held to meet the stall, he said, Lesti forced Podin to give him money to fulfill the merchandise. Lesti forced Podin to be able to fill his shop and be able to bring all the goods to fill his shop.

    Unlike when Podin heard the explanation of his new wife, Ms. Melan, very wise words. Surely Podin was relieved to hear that. And Podin was very thumbs up to his new wife. Podin was pleased with the steps taken by his wife. Yes, people's mindsets are different. But the mindset given by Ms. Melan is a modern mindset, a forward mindset, a mindset that can accept the reality, a mindset that can accept the circumstances of her husband. Of course, Podin felt that his wife was a kind wife. And of course, Podin is more happy to get a beautiful woman's wife who seems perfect like Ms. Melan.

    "Yes .., Mah .... I know .... Indeed, to open a business, we need large funds, need not a little capital. And it was something I had" Podin told his wife. Of course, Podin still remembers the problem experienced when Lesti opened the store.

    "Pah ..., if you may know, how much is Papah's money? Roughly enough what not to shop for merchandise." Ms. Melan asked her husband.

    "It's still a little bit .... Well, if indeed we can not afford to pay for merchandise, try later we find another way. I hope there is a way" Podin told his wife.

    "But, Pah .... I don't want to take credit at the bank. That's too high an interest, Pah. If we take credit at the bank, then our profits will be used up to pay debts, install bank loans. I disagree, Pah." said Ms. Melan to her husband, who did not agree that the business must be owed in the bank.

    Yes, indeed the name of applying for credit at the bank is good up front. It seems that just accept the money from the loan, the amount is very large. The installments seem small. But it was only a matter of a moment. Not counting until the end of the settlement. Although the installment is small, if multiplied by several installments, the amount can reach twice the amount of the principal of the loan. Surely if you know the calculations it will be terrible. And Ms. Melan, a financial expert, who knows that, surely she wouldn't agree to be told to credit at the bank.

    "What if we could take advantage of our business in Jakarta, Mah?" podin asked his wife, which of course he intended to try to ask his wife about the benefits of karaoke entertainment business.

    "If you can't, Pah .... That is if you can .... But later I will see, there is how much finance there is in our entertainment venues. But save me, whatever our capital, we should start from little by little. Later the money from the sale will roll, the profit we get we spend again. Eventually the store will be full of merchandise" Ms Melan told her husband.

    Indeed, of course, Podin's money is only limited to building a grocery store that has spent a billion rupiah more. It's not a small amount of money. Moreover, Podin also just finished building his house that spent almost two billion money. And then, Podin also had to fill in the merchandise in his shop. Although everything was given to his wife, namely Cik Melan, but of course, all financial matters were borne by Podin. Of course it was all done for the sake of his love of poden to Ms. Melan, which of course Podin did not want to disappoint Ms. Melan. He did not want to disappoint his beautiful wife. And Podin also considers that Ms. Melan is his best wife, his prettiest wife, and the smartest wife.

    Yes, Miss Melan is a good woman, a smart woman, a smart woman, and a woman who can make Podin believe in all his words. Ms. Melan is a woman who can all be. Whatever Podin wants can do. And of course, Podin is more intrigued and believes it all, because Ms. Melan is an educated person, a school person, a smart person. At least Ms. Melan is a finance scholar. Yes, of course, Podin can not deny the kindness of his wife. Podin can't beat Miss Melan's wits.

    "Keep ..., what should we do?" podin asked his wife.

    "Just relax, Pah ..." said Ms. Melan replied to her husband's words.
