EPISODE 92: PODIN LOOKING FOR MONEY

    After Podin's money was drained, of course, Podin could not do much, especially to meet the needs of his family. Especially to increase the business capital of Lesti store. Although Lesti has run a business, and of course Lesti's business is also in demand, and certainly get a considerable income, but said Podin, the business money should be for the effort, to develop its capital, to expand the capital, to raise his shop. Podin did not want the money from the Lesti store was used to meet many household needs, especially for food needs. Podin wants to be a responsible man. Podin wanted to support his family, to provide for all the needs of his family. Of course, to eat and the daily needs of his father and mother-in-law, including to his own wife, even for himself, Podin must try to reach into his pocket. As a man in charge, Podin will meet the needs of his family.

    "Lesti .., Akang requested permission to leave for Jakarta. Akang wants to see the business in Jakarta, and of course Akang will also take a little money for our daily needs" said Podin to his wife at breakfast with his family.

    "Why should Podin go to Jakarta? What's in Jakarta?" ask her mother-in-law who would like to know what would be done by Podin in Jakarta.

    "Sorry, Mother .... I have to look at the effort that is there. At least I will see the development of the business place in Jakarta" replied Podin who of course he was very polite to his in-laws.

    "Oh .., so .... Yes, if indeed Nak Podin has a business in Jakarta, and will be seen, watched over. yes it is the duty of Nak Podin." his father-in-law said that would be very permissible if Podin would look at his business in Jakarta.

    "But .., Akang why bother to Jakarta if just want to ask for money from business? Kan, I can call Ms. Melan, so Ms. Melan sends the money, transferred, so .... No need to go to Jakarta .... Nowadays, it is easy .... We can transfer money as fast as lightning .... Akang is not tired, not at risk ..." said Lesti who apparently somewhat objected that her husband left for Jakarta alone, because Lesti knew that in Jakarta his life was very hard, because, it's fiercely competitive and the roads are jammed here and there. Pity that until her husband had to flail off to Jakarta just to ask for money from his business.

    "Look, Lesti .... Akang to Jakarta is not just to ask for company money, but at least, Akang must also know how the business development there. Akang also had to meet with the employees, to encourage them to be diligent, so that they remain committed in working at the Akang business place .... Do not let our efforts be left alone. We only got the money, but no one wants to take care of it. That's not good, Lesti .... That's mah, the name we want money without bothering to bother." so answered Podin to his wife, which of course also gives an idea that the place of business should indeed be often looked at, often seen, often checked, and at least control. That's a term in corporate management.

    And Podin was certainly not mistaken if he had to control his place of business that he had not seen for a long time. At least Podin can find out how the development of the entertainment venue after some time ago had experienced a fire disaster, although said employees who communicate with Lesti, who communicate with Lesti, and it is said that the place of business has gone well again, and of course it has returned to normal.

    "Yes, Akang .... If it is like that, mango please, Akang Podin departs for Jakarta. But be careful, Akang drove himself.no friends .... In Jakarta mah, many pisan .... In Jakarta mah, his car a lot of pisan and there jammed. Is it necessary Lesti nemani Akang?" lesti said to her husband, who was also worried about her husband when he went to Jakarta alone without friends.

    "Lesti .... It is good that you are here .... Take care of your store. This is a new, new endeavor. Don't leave. Pity the Father with Mother if told to take care. If there's anything later how?" podin said that forbade his wife to come to Jakarta to accompany him.

    "Yes, Akang .... Lesti thought so too." said Lesti.

    "I know that .... Jakarta is so. But maybe later, Akang will stay a few days in Jakarta. There, of course, Akang tried to see how the development of the company there, whether it was good or not. And at the very least, Akang wants to know the future prospects" said Podin who seemed to be a great entrepreneur.

    "Yes, Akang .... Be careful on the street ..." said Lesti who certainly looks sad when her husband will leave.

    Finally, Podin left for Jakarta. The main goal is to check the place of business that has been submitted to Cik Melan, as an employee of the financial department that has been trusted by Podin to run the business. Podin drives his car alone. Surely a sense of saturation enveloped in his solitude. Especially when entering Jakarta. All the roads are jammed. Must've made Podin even more tired.

    Until the afternoon, Podin arrived at his destination. Podin had arrived in front of the karaoke building, his place of business. Indeed, Podin all want to see how the development of his business in Jakarta is. And the place of entertainment, karaoke place, of course, is visited by many visitors in the afternoon until evening. And at that time, Podin also came in accordance with the planned time. Arriving in front of his business building was fitting with when people who wanted to find entertainment began to arrive.

    So, after parking his car, Podin immediately got off the car. The John who served as security at that place, once he knew there was a boss coming, he immediately welcomed the arrival of Podin. Yes, the security employees are still faithfully following the business in the entertainment venue, guarding the karaoke building owned by Podin.

    "Rather Podin .... Good afternoon, Mr .... Well, this is the collision of Mr. Podin reviewing here .." said the security officer who also arranged the car that was parked in the yard of the building.

    "Yes, Jhon .... This ..., want to see the condition of our place of business. How's he doing?" podin asked the security officer.

    "Quiet, Sir .... Everything is safe under control ..." so replied Si Jhon who of course bravely immediately said that the place of business is safe there is no problem.

    Then Podin stepped on the road, observing the circumstances surrounding the place of his business, which of course Podin also wanted to know the traces of his building that experienced a fire. It turns out that everything is gone, it is not visible, it is neat, even the color of the building has changed, it has been painted with a new color that is brighter and more attractive. In Podin's heart, he was amazed by his employees. It turns out his men are reliable.

    "Sik Melan is there, John?" podin asked the security officer.

    "There, Mr. Podin .... Above, sir, still in his office in the administration, sir. Ms. Melan used to, if you come home late at night. Sometimes until the guests are finished, he just came home. Understandably, Mr. .., Ms. Melan is still a virgin, has no family dependents, Mr. ..." said the John who answered his boss's question.

    "Ready, sir ..." said the Jhon.

    "Tok ..., tok ..., tok ..." sound of the door being knocked. After arriving at the administration room, Podin knocked on the door in the finance section.

    "Eh .., there's Mr. Podin .... Come, Mr. ..., please come in" said the young female employee who works in the finance department.

    Then Podin went into the room, and sat facing his virgin employee.

    "How are you, Ms ...? Is there a problem in our efforts?" ask Podin who certainly wants to know the state of his company.

    "Yes, Sir .... Sorry, I'm sassy. Yesterday for the repair of our building problems that experienced a fire, I have not conveyed to the Father. But frankly, we have already started to arrange it, and we have also fixed it, sir" the young woman told Podin.

    "Yes .... At the time of parking, I had seen .... Cool and nice. Of course later the customers will be happy, and of course your building becomes very interesting. Seen from a distance alone has made people wonder, what's in this place." said Podin who praised the employee.

    "Yes, Sir .... Thank ye. But we need to tell you, that we, to repair and build the building using building renovation repair services, sir .... Frankly yesterday we had a meeting with the renovation contractor, and it turns out we still have dependents, sir. Our company still has a debt with the renovation services." so said by young women who became employees of the financial department, trusted by Podin to take care of all the problems of the company.

    "So ..., what is meant by Ms. Melan, that our place of business still has debt, right?" asked Podin to his employee, which of course in a slow tone. Of course, Podin was shocked and also disappointed, because it turned out that his company still had a debt with the building renovation service.

    "Yes, Sir. Sorry, we did do this on purpose, because we hope this place can be more interesting, more famous and better, sir. And also to upgrade all karaoke equipment, and also replace the screen-screen monitor with LCD projector. Our karaoke room is turning into a nicer and more interesting one, sir. Especially we are asking for a better repair on the part of the room that yesterday experienced a fire. The space is all we upgrade. Precisely in the room his goods, facilities, sound system and equipment all become the best, sir" said the employee who is certainly also somewhat afraid if to be scolded by Podin.

    "Come .... I'm actually worried, Ms. Melan .... What about our employees, if this company still has debt to the developer? And of course our finances are empty. How will Cicik pay employees?" ask Podin to the employee. Though the truth in the heart of Podin was a bit disappointed, because he hoped he came to get money. But in fact, he was presented with a minus financial note.

    "Yes, Sir .... We've thought about it. Actually we have predicted from the inputs that we usually get. At least in the space of up to three months, we have surplus back. So we will not worry about finances. We can pay the debt to the developer in those three months, and of course I'm not worried about paying the employees either, sir .... But with conditions like this, indeed later the financial focus that comes in, everything for us to use to pay employees. While time is not saving, sir" said the finance officer, who explained to Podin, who was not aware of such financial problems. Let alone the words of the employees are too complicated, too difficult to understand, too grandiose, too very accounting once. So of course, Podin was confused. But clearly, Podin understands that his company currently has a lot of debt, and the Finance employees have predicted that the income so far can be used to pay employees entirely.

    Podin could still calm his heart, as he would not spend money to pay the debt. Despite his true intentions, he wanted to get a share of the results of the intelligence. But of course with such conditions, Podin will not be able to take money from his company.

    "Yes, alright Ms. Melan .... I trust you, I leave it entirely to manage this company to Cicik. So from the first time I came here, I was sure that you could manage this company, and could bring the progress of this company. But sorry, for now I can not provide additional financial assistance, I can not help pay the debt of this company again. Frankly, I am also confused about capital problems, I also need money, I am opening a new business place, Ms. So sorry, in case I can't help much about financial matters in this place. My capital will be used to develop my business elsewhere. The one here still I leave to Cicik to run it. I believe you can solve it" Podin told the employee, which of course Podin reasoned that he could not help financially. In fact, he actually needs money for his life needs.

    "Sorry, Mr .... Frankly for now we can not help you, have not been able to share the benefits for you. Please forgive, Mr. .., because indeed our company is in need of a lot of money, especially to improve the condition of this karaoke place that was yesterday experiencing problems in the fire accident. Again, frankly we, although yesterday we got funds from insurance, but we also have to spend the money entirely, sir .... Yes, we have to give envelopes to some security personnel, sir .... It's important, sir ..., to ensure that our place of business will be guarded by them" said the woman, who of course also explained that in her efforts, she said, he also had to give envelopes to security officers, at least the money to buy cigarettes.

    "Yes .., yes ..., yes .... Good .... I concur. No problem, okay .... The important thing is to be under control. Please continue to work more passionately. I'm going around to look around" said Podin who certainly supports what his employees do.

    "Yes, Mr. Podin .... Please, Mr .... Let me take you to see the rehabilitated rooms, sir" said the young woman who would certainly accompany Podin around.

    "No need, Miss .... No need to transfer .... I'm going to go around on my own, and I'm going somewhere else" said Podin, who had stepped out and left the employee. And he was sure that his employees would be able to redevelop the place of his business.

    Next, Podin went around observing his karaoke rooms, which of course had undergone many changes. And what was witnessed by Podin is the many differences that are very striking when compared to when Maya still often intervened to want to organize the place.

    But Podin, although happy with the change of his karaoke building is getting better, he remains confused, because the intention of his arrival to get money is not fulfilled. Podin failed to make money. His intention is to find money, even in debt.
