CEO Takluk
Chapter 29 Getting Ready at the Apartment
It is true what Cassandra predicted, the KADIN officials met the arrival of Andreas Jonathan and Alexander. They seemed to express their excitement, and it turned out that people from the Kemenkop Service as well as some from the tax office were present at the event. Seeing the coming CEO of PT. Indotrex. Tbk, which was previously very far reached by them, the people looked amazed, and felt that they would get various deals with the businessman.
"From PT. Indotrex. Tbk, maybe something will be conveyed, after we have heard the direction of the Ministry, and the tax office.." Chairman of KADIN gave the first opportunity to PT. Indotrex. Tbk. to convey the voice.
"Sandra.. can you represent the two of us to speak..?" Alexander whispered to the girl. Understanding the company's very expensive CEO, Cassandra nodded her head. Actually, there is a great trust that he bears by asking him to represent the company, but the girl does not complain let alone refuse the request submitted by the deputy CEO.
"Thank you for the opportunity. I'm Cassandra, executive secretary of PT. Indotrex. Tbk, who will speak on behalf of our CEO Young Mr. Andreas Jonathan, and vice CEO Mr. Alexander. Basically, we welcome the intention to develop MSMEs that are in line with the efforts generated by our company. However, it's good that our form of development is done by coaching, providing training, so that we can provide hooks and a little bait stimulus, so that they become more intelligent or better at finding catches." the firm words that came out from the lips of the girl, shocked everyone in the room.
"Our company is ready to accommodate several MSMEs that are in line with the company, and will give them the opportunity to develop together. Related to taxes, it may be addressed not to do the tax collection first, and do not be impressed to do the extensification of taxation. They need to be built, we help, if necessary give them stimulus to be able to develop the company, do not even burden them with tax levies, which can hinder their growth. But if taxes were going to be set on big corporations, it.s okay.all wouldn't be a problem." Cassandra continued.
All speechless at the firm words delivered by the girl, moments later, the person from the tax office interrupted the conversation.
"Can be clarified what Miss Cassandra said, do you think that the tax could hinder the growth of MSMEs..?" one of the representatives of the KPP also spoke. The man looked at Cassandra.
Cassandra smiled at the question, not seeming to be nervous or afraid of the clarification requested from the words that have been spoken before.
"I think it is clear the answer is YESS.., because taxes are collected from the amount of income earned by MSMEs. We can see the fathers.., who is the MSME market, small people right?? With the addition of tax levies, it will increase the burden of their expenses, the impact of which will be charged as operational costs. The amount of operating costs coupled with the expected profit margin, will form the Cost of Sales. How will MSMEs sell their products, if HPP is relatively high?" firmly, Cassandra made her words clear.
Debate then ensued, some of the entrepreneurs who were invited, agreed to the proposal presented by Cassandra. Representatives from the tax office, at first felt intimidated from it, but over time they could accept the explanation submitted by Cassandra, and reinforced by the speech of other entrepreneurs. Andreas Jonathan and Alexander just silently watched the debate, the two men seemed convinced by the words and suggestions conveyed by their executive secretary.
"Well, I think enough of our discussion this afternoon. For a while I will conclude the results of our brain storming afternoon until this afternoon. To the representatives of the KPP, for the moment the issue of tax levies for MSMEs, must be postponed the vote first. After all, in time, their small company will be able to grow into a large company, and at that time they are required about the imposition of taxes." Chairman of KADIN finally emphasized the discourse of tax levies for MSMEs.
All those present at the talk show with KADIN, the Ministry and also the KPP applauded, agreeing on what was conveyed by the Chairman. Since it was already late afternoon, the Chairman announced to invite all the participants of brain storming to dinner together. But politely, Cassandra represented Andreas Jonathan and Alexander refused the invitation, because they already had a promise to come out with their partner from Singapore.

"Young master.. Mr. Alex. It looks like Sandra can ride an online motorcycle, because it looks like our time will not be enough, if the car has to go around driving the three of us.." the girl ventured to part with the two men.
"Iwan.. take us to Ghrha Cemerlang's apartment right now.." Without answering Cassandra's words, Andreas Jonathan's voice was heard giving orders to the driver.
"Every young master.." said the driver from the front.
Cassandra was puzzled, and ventured to the side, but the CEO of the company did not notice her at all. While sitting in the front seat, Alexander looks only his own smile does not give a response.
"Mr Alex, I don't mean this. We can split up here, because we have to get to the restaurant on time. Sandra didn't ask to be delivered to the master's apartment at all.." Scared, if the words just now seemed to ask them to deliver her to the apartment, Cassandra tried to straighten out.
"Calm down Sandra. You don't have to worry. We did intend to get ready at your apartment. There are two rooms in the apartment, we can use one room to prepare. We've got clothes ready for tonight, there's a bodyguard sending you clothes in the apartment lobby." Quickly, Alexander responded to Cassandra's words.
"Oh so sir, it doesn't matter either. We can save time.." feeling in agreement with Alexander's words, without the slightest prejudice against the man, Cassandra quickly agreed.
Iwan drove the car at full speed, as it counted the hours of their arrival to arrive at the restaurant. Young master and master Alexander, did not like the imprecision of time every man was driving him anywhere. Moreover, the event tonight is a dinner for their business partners from Singapore. There was only Cassandra who was confused by the two company officials who were currently with her. They seemed not to bother about the existence of Cassandra's apartment room that looks small.
