BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 159: THE BEST-SELLING EFFORT

    It's been a month since Podin opened a grocery store. Of course, the store is now complete, already full of merchandise, has provided various needs of residents who are often asked by buyers. Starting from rice, cooking oil, sugar, eggs, soy sauce, sauce, wheat flour, instant noodles, and various other basic needs. What is clear is that all the kitchen needs are in the store Podin. In fact, the store was very popular. It must be because the price is cheap, the price is able to compete, the price is below the price of other stores. Of course the villagers, the people around the place of Podin, on shopping in his shop. Yes, the Podin grocery store is very famous. Podin grocery store is a cheap store. Podin grocery store is a best-selling store, because of the many buyers who arrive at the store. Even not just meet the needs of individual people, not only selling retail, but Podin's grocery store also serves wholesale. Serving major party purchases. Serving stalls that are shopping to be sold again. Of course the retail price with wholesale price will be different.

    And at this time, the servant who helped in the shop of Podin was not only two people, but there were already four people. Two men, and two women. Yes, the employees have increased. A man who was told to deliver groceries to the homes of customers. And another woman who has helped in the financial transaction section. Serving payments. Yes, a kind of cashier that helps Podin to calculate the amount of groceries and change for buyers whose money is more or there must be a change.

    Now Podin is overwhelmed to take care of his crowded shop. Podin is no longer able to manage his shop alone. Indeed, in terms of science, Podin had no knowledge of the ins and outs of trading. Podin never went to school. And of course, Podin does not understand everything related to bookkeeping or trade calculations. In terms of experience, Podin was very minimal. He has no background in trading. Podin never sold, although his first wife also opened a business selling, had a shophouse that sells various merchandise. Likewise the third wife, he also sells, opens a food stall business. Even the fourth wife also sells, has shophouses and sells groceries. Even the Lesti-owned grocery store that then inspired the grocery store that he now opened with Cik Melan in Parung. But all that, Podin was never involved in his efforts. Even when he was with Rinia, his third wife, Podin just drove to the market by driving his car, the rest he just fell asleep.

    And now, after he married Ms. Melan, inevitably he had to follow the much-loved wife, the proud wife. Podin had to follow his wife's advice and proposal, to build a business, namely by opening a grocery store. Certainly, Cik Melan's proposal was intended so that her husband was not unemployed, not dumbfounded, and had a busy life.

    Indeed, Podin is basically a slacker. Basically, Podin is a person who does not want to work. Basically, Podin is a person who only wants to live leha-leha, does not want to try, does not want to work hard, wants to live a good life money comes alone. Even when he worked on the building project alone, by his foreman he was told to stop, removed from his work, because indeed Podin was lazy. Then it's appropriate if actually Podin was just willing to sit sweet barges without any work. Sleeping with a beautiful dream is her hope. The hope of a good life is the goal. And all that, in fact, is permitted by the Almighty.

    Yes, people who live in this world do have a choice, between worshiping solemnly worship the God of its creator, or serving to Satan to ask for pleasure. And Podin has chosen one of those options.

    And now, when the store is always crowded, when the store is always crowded with shoppers, when the store Podin always crowded with people who want to meet his needs, the store is always crowded, surely it made him confused, busy and confused.

    Three of his servants who helped serve the buyers apparently had to work extra hard. Plus another person who helps at the cashier. Not just pick up items ordered by buyers, not just looking for items that will be purchased by customers. But the servants are also busy helping to calculate the groceries of buyers, even have to be involved in the payment process, including if there is change from the buyer.

    Poor Ms. Melan, she has to push Jakarta - Parung every day. Because indeed his business in Jakarta also needs him to manage his finances. Likewise, his shop in Parung, which has just been established, certainly also needs himself to manage his finances. Ms. Melan was aware of her husband, who just resigned to her, because indeed Podin could not do anything. For Ms. Melan, it was important that her husband would wait for the store, which was good. Instead of being dumbstruck at home, even teased by itchy widows in his village.

    Therefore, Ms. Melan inevitably had to go back to Jakarta - Parung to manage two companies owned by her husband. What can be said, it is the duty of a wife who must help her husband as much as possible. Managing the business her husband has. And of course, Ms. Melan also admitted that it was her fault. Because the time her husband is only unemployed at home without any work, Ms. Melan who asked her husband to open a business, so that her husband has a busy life, so that her husband is not only unemployed at home. And now, after the business was running, after the business was in demand, after the effort was crowded, of course Ms. Melan herself who had to step up to take care of the business.

    Meanwhile, her husband, Podin, can only wait for his shop, only to be able to keep an eye on his employees. But at least, when Podin was in the store, surely his men, his employees, his four aides, his shopkeepers, they worked well, they felt watched, they felt watched, they were not, and they feel they get the spirit of their boss. Yes, from the humanitarian side, Podin is a good person, a person who does not have the heart to see his employees suffer. Podin is actually a very human person, when he saw four of his shopkeepers running their trades, taking care of the buyers who kept coming, of course, Podin wanted to be involved there. At least Podin also helps find goods, helps serve buyers, and certainly Podin always supervises financial problems. Yes, at least Podin can help organize the money, can save the money from the sale. And the maid who was always asked by Podin to be the cashier, at least also felt comfortable being watched by Podin, and her workers would definitely be better, more excited and motivated.

    But about eating, about drinking, don't ask. Podin is a good boss, a generous boss, a boss close to his employees. So during the day, during mealtime, Podin always stops the food basket passing in front of his shop. Sometimes meatballs, sometimes chicken noodles, sometimes batagor, sometimes siomay. Podin bought the snacks for his employees. It was all done to feed its employees. Of course, so that employees do not starve, so that employees are also full and happy. And for sure, the employees will be at home working in the store Podin.

    Actually, Podin is not just buying food. Even if there are gift items from suppliers, gifts given by sales who send goods to the store, whether it is a shirt, whether it is a shirt, whether it is a holster, whether it is a holster, as well as other items, Podin always gives gifts to his employees. Especially those that are t-shirts or clothes. The most often obtained are t-shirts, factory gifts and marketing. Although the form is simple, although there is a sponsor writing, but for employees if given such gift items by their employers, the employees feel very happy, the employees feel very proud, the employees feel very proud, and of course they feel that Podin is a good boss, a generous boss, a generous boss. And at least, Podin is indeed considered the best employer.

    Not only that, even Podin also often give additional money to his employees, as a bonus if they are told to overtime or go home a little late.

    Ms. Melan was happy to witness the success of her husband's grocery store. Even though she had to push Jakarta - Parung, but happy to see her husband can be happy, her husband is happy to take care of his grocery store. Moreover, the grocery store was very selling.
