The forum lasted for 4 hours full of discussions and questions and answers about the new policy that will be implemented soon. Mining entrepreneurs look enthusiastic because it concerns the continuity of their business. Government representative officials are seen busy with their records. The event had a break for 1 hour for dinner at 20:00.
During the dinner break Zie who was actually on duty was forced to eat because it was served in front of him. Juan told him to eat.
Dinner dishes are served at the table they occupy, a typical luxury dish of a 5-star hotel. Food is served in fine dining order. Quite delicious, but Zie can't really enjoy it because Zie has to focus on work. Juan seemed to not care to keep reminding Zie to finish her food.
Mutual who was at one table several times seemed to want to talk to Zie, but Juan who realized the desire of Mutual continuously cut his conversation which resulted in Mutsa inevitably having to talk to Juan.
Zie who was trying to hide his identity lowered his head somewhat deeply. Done dinner and after all the tables were fixed the discussion forum resumed. As soon as the lights were turned off Zie immediately took a deep breath, in gratitude to be able to hide in the darkness.
Exactly at 11 pm the event concluded with the closing of the vice chairman of the board who was present to ensure the recently passed laws relating to mining can be immediately implemented by the entrepreneurs present. The atmosphere instantly turned bustling with the discussion among the participants of the forum. The participants who are mostly entrepreneurs are certainly business-related to each other. In addition, some points of the law that will be applied are a topic of debate among them, because inevitably will cause additional spending to meet the standard facilities required by the government.
Mining entrepreneurs are required to have a follow-up business in the form of processing the resulting mines. This processing business can be done alone or jointly by several entrepreneurs. The government no longer allows entrepreneurs to export hasik mines that have not been through the processing process. It will begin to be implemented next year. The entrepreneurs are given 1 year to prepare the processing facility. That is why it will take a very large capital to meet what is required by the government so that their mining business is still given permission to operate. This is especially mandatory for exporters, because if the market is domestic, of course, their mines are used as raw materials. So their mines are certainly for processed products in the country.
For the Mahaputra group itself it is not a big problem because the Nickel they mine will be used by other Mahaputra Group subsidiaries as raw materials for canned coatings because nickel is able to slow down corrosion effect because nickel is anti-rust.
Mahaputra subsidiary that requires Nickel is one of the subsidiaries engaged in the production of packaging for foodstuffs, one of which is packaging cans. Because for food packaging, it is expected that the can is durable from rust so that nickel is needed. In addition, other Mahaputra subsidiaries require nickel for automotive spare part coatings that they produce because this nickel is more shiny.
The need for nickel some companies under the Mahaputra group is what makes them decide to plunge into this mining business.
Juan who had no burden at all with the new policy of the government stood out from his seat followed by Zie and Luna. As Juan was about to step away from his desk, Juan was stopped by a call from Mutual.
"Juan, wait a minute!" Juan turned around and faced Reksa who was already walking closer towards him. Muta was seen standing next to Bimo.
"Yes? Why?" Juan asked short. Juan involuntarily said sniffling in annoyance at seeing Bimo. Juan already knew from Adrian about Bimo's involvement in the kidnapping that Zie had experienced first.
"If you have time I want to make an appointment, there's a business conversation I'd like to discuss with your company." Mutual said to Juan, with his eyes occasionally glancing at Zie. The uncomfortable Zie fortunately had already returned using her sunglasses that were able to hide her true expression.
"It feels like we know each other, right?" Muta approached Zie, and almost touched her shoulder. Zie reflexively managed to dodge. Oddly enough, OCD mutual money wants to touch Zie's shoulder when usually Mutual can not be in contact with just anyone who he does not know his background.
"I'm sorry, maybe you're wrong." Answer Zie firmly. The mutual who heard Zie's reply still looked at him in disbelief. The right Bimo standing next to Reksa patted her on the shoulder like a reminder to back off. Sean who was still sitting in his chair turned out to have noticed their conversation from the beginning. Like Reksa, Sean also continues to look at Zie.
"This is my Zie staff, you may be wrong person." Juan immediately turned everyone's eyes to him. "I'll excuse you first." Juan immediately left and left followed by Zie, Kevin and Luna.
Towards the exit of the meeting room, Adrian, Blue, Sky and Lee have now joined them to return to escort in close range. Towards the lobby door, Luna paid off early because she had to prepare a board meeting that would be held tomorrow morning. Juan gave him permission.
Towards the exit which was still quite heavily guarded, the Limousine Juan car was waiting at the door. Blue opens the door for Juan while Kevin opens the door for Zie. After they got in the car, Kevin immediately boarded the passenger seat beside the driver while Adrian, Blue, Sky and Lee boarded another car that would carry out escorts along the way.
"What do you think?" juan asked as he leaned his tired body against the comfortable car seat.
"The forum went well." Zie replied still looking a bit tense. Juan immediately glanced at him noticing that Zie looked uncomfortable.
"We're just the two of you, you can relax now." Juan said soothingly.
"It looks like Reksa almost recognized me earlier." Said Zie, while wiping sweat on his temple due to the tension he felt.
"I don't think it's just Reksa, if you look at Sean he's also seen looking at you."
"They are both good friends, sister Natha, they often play at home first. So it seems natural that they feel like they know me. It's just that I'm not comfortable with Bimo being with Reksa. They look very close. I suspect Muta is involved, but I don't dare to draw any conclusions." Juan nodded his head hearing Zie's explanation.
"Of course we have to investigate deeper. It could be that mutual is involved. We should discuss further with Adrian about this." Juan gave Zie the strawberry mint candy that was still left in the bowl. "Eat this, we discuss it again tomorrow morning."
Zie picked up the candy Juan gave her and ate it right away. Zie felt a little more relaxed. Juan was right, there is no point in him thinking now, he better think tomorrow morning while discussing with Adrian. Zie breathed deeply enough to calm himself down.
