EPISODE 87: LESTI OPENS BUSINESS

    After the household furniture was arranged, after the place to stay everything was arranged, and of course, such as the kitchen and dining, and all the devices were fulfilled, now Lesti began to talk about business problems. Yes, Lesti began to talk with Podin about what business plan would be opened in the circuit. And of course, it was also discussed with profit and loss considerations. In the language of business, Lesti and Podin analyze business opportunities.

    "Akang .., we better design what business we're going to open, Kang" Lesti told her husband.

    "Yes, Lesti .." said Podin who also began to think.

    "If in a place like this, the place is crowded, the place is strategic, of course here will be easily visited by buyers. Roughly, what's the right fit, Kang?" ask Lesti to Podin.

    "Yes, Lesti .... We should think about, about what is most appropriate to open a business here." replied Podin.

    "Kang ..., how about we sell food stalls? We open a food stall here .... Lesti can also cook, Kang ..." said Lesti who gave consideration to her husband.

    Podin was immediately shocked by the words of Lesti who wanted to open a food stall. Of course Lesti's intention to open the food stall business, reminding him like when he was with Rina. Podin may have been traumatized by a food stall opened by his third wife. He had been expelled, not only his wife who expelled, but also expelled by the residents around the food stalls where his wife was selling. Yes, Podin certainly does not want to open again food stall business.

    "No, Lesti .... I don't like food stalls" Podin told his wife.

    "Why, Kang? If we open the food stall, we can taste good, can eat as much as we are full, we do not count. Like the word, we all ride with the buyers, because we sell for the buyers, but we can also eat there." said Lesti which certainly gives a good picture if opening a food stall.

    "Yes, Lesti .... But I don't like it. Because of the food stall effort, we can't sleep. At midnight, we started cooking. After the sale, we are still cleaning. If the rest is abundant, the cuisine does not sell, the goods are stale, the smell is not pleasant, not delicious .... It's mah, it even brings disease" said Podin who reasoned, when in fact he was traumatized by the events of the time in his place Rina.

    "Then what's good to open, Kang? Do we want to sell kitchen equipment? Household appliances? Family stuff?" ask Lesti to Podin, who certainly wants to memnita suaminhya opinion.

    "Well .., it could be .... Or maybe, we also sell electronic items such as TVs, refrigerators, washing machines .... Or maybe you want to sell furniture ..." said Podin who also gave a proposal to his wife.

    "Angt .... If the sale of furniture mah, not necessarily a day of sale .... Not necessarily a week of practice .... Not everyone needs furniture every day. The furniture is rarely bought. Just look at us .... Buy one used cabinet for years, not buy anymore. If we sell guest chairs, the guest chair is quite one pair .... No need to add more ..." said Lesti who Of course also gave an opinion, if the sale of furniture is not every day there are buying.

    "Yes, Lesti I agree with you .... We sell tools, various household needs are small, the price is cheap, but every day it takes people. It could be that later your grocery store is selling, not only tools are sold, but kitchen needs, there are spices, there is a need for soy sauce, there is sausage, there is sugar, there is a, maybe the bullet went in there, Lesti ..." said Podin.

    "Ah yes, Akang .... Bener, we're selling groceries .... Later added household appliances, kitchen needs." so said Lesti who immediately swept her husband. Yeah, they want to sell groceries.

    "But where's the shopping, Lesti? I don't know that shopping place yet? Do we have to go to the market?" ask Podin who certainly does not understand about the problem of sembako.

    "We don't need to shop to the market, Kang .... I will search on the Internet .... There will be, I'll see you later. We choose what's called a sembako agent. We'll buy it to the agent, Akang .... Well, the agent who will later send our needs, which we will sell again. And then we just sell. Fortunately it does not need to be big, a small profit that is important to sell" said Lesti to Podin who while opening his HP.

    For Podin, indeed with such technological problems, the name of social media, the internet and so on, he does not understand. Hence, he better not have HP. Especially when always contacted by Maya, who end up asking for money. So he did not want to use HP, because he did not want to be contacted by Maya. But after that, he did not want to have HP anymore, because he did not want to connect with anyone.

    "Where, Lesti ...? Any offers? Have met?" podin asked while looking at his wife's HP.

    "Wah ..., yes, Lesti ..." - Podin.

    "Try me phone yes, Kang ..." said Lesti who immediately recorded the HP number in his search on the internet.

    "Yes, Lesti .... Just try the phone .... Who knows it's true" said Podin who certainly resigned to his wife, because indeed Podin did not understand the various types of marketing through the internet, which is called the term online sales.

    Yes, times have changed. Want to sell anything, just posted via HP, immediately read by many people. People are now referring to the term online shopping. Podin doesn't understand that.

    "Hello .... Sembako agent Abah Cong? I want to ask about the offer of basic groceries on social media ..." said Lesti while calling the place where the agent saw him from the internet.

    Of course the media installer, the seller will be happy and immediately answer Lesti's phone. And when it immediately occurred communication which of course began the transaction from the need for Lesti to shop meet the balance, also began to discuss about prices, including also asking where the delivery. And Lesti also answered for the place of delivery in Padalarang. Yes, of course Lesti shows the address of the shop that will be used to sell. And also, Lesti was wondering related to the shophouse he owned, such magnitude, how roughly the amount that could be put or supplied into his frame, and about any type of trading that can be offered there. Lesti also asked for the items available at his agent. Lesti while facing the paper and holding a ballpoint pen, to record anything that is roughly needed, anything that can be traded in his trunk, including the amounts and prices.

    "Change .., I ask you to send a list of goods with the same prices, so we are not confused. This is later for the first sale, to open a shophouse for the first time, how many? To open the first store, I asked for help, yes .... For how much rice, how much cooking oil? And what kind? Especially for important household needs and often purchased by the community every day .... So the needs of the kitchen and for the needs of the most in demand consumers, I ask for help to be listed, the name of the item and the price list. Then later the photo sent to my WA, yes ..." so said Lesti who has submitted many requests to agents who have placed ads on the internet. Of course Lesti smiled cheerfully, because soon his efforts will be carried out.

    "Ctung ..." WA notification Lesti reads.

    "Well, right ..., Kang .... It's already sent a list of items at their prices. It also sent out details of the number of items for the new business opening plan in the shophouse" said Lesti who showed the photos of the shipment from the sembako agent who will be his partner.

    "Yes, the spout was ordered .... Let them send here quickly." said Podin.

    "Yes, Kang ..." said Lesti.

    "Where, Lesti ...? Can ...?" podin asked who had noticed his wife talking over the phone.

    "Can, Kang .... Easy, right .... Today the transaction is completed .... Hopefully it will be delivered quickly. That kind of work is easy, Kang .... If we follow the technology, then everything will be facilitated, very quickly, even later we pay it is also easy. Do not use counting money at the table, but directly transferred through a bank account. So nothing is difficult, Kang ..." said Lesti who explained to her husband.

    "Yes ..., right, Lesti .... If it's such a problem, I'll pass along with you. What is important is that this effort will be managed well. Do not let us go bankrupt or even the trade does not sell. What matters is that we have to compete. Price can be pressed .... Fortunately a little does not matter, but if our trading will be in demand, if our store is in demand, fortunately also large" said Podin who explained also to his wife about how best to open a trading business.

    "Yes, Akang .... I know it .... But anyway, Akang is in charge .... Later all his capital pay Akang .... Hehehehe ..." so said Lesti who of course immediately laughed, because he wanted to give up all the costs, who bore his finances was her husband.

    "Yes .., Lesti .... Hopefully there is still money that can be used to meet our trading needs, to fill the place of business of your shop. Do not forget .., Father and Mother are invited to arrange their goods later. At least Mother and Father know your business, want to be involved and even understand the prices, so tomorrow Mother and Father can also help you sell. At least for their busy lives, let him not daydream. But if there will be many buyers, if there are many, you are busy, at least Father and Mother can also help serve the buyers." said Podin who also gave advice to his wife.

    "Yes .., Akang Podin .... I know, Akang Podin is a successful entrepreneur. So I have to learn a lot on Akang ..." so said Lesti, who of course also considers that Podin is a successful businessman in Jakarta.

    They both smiled happily, soon the place of business was about to be opened.
