Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) is a Dutch trade alliance that has a monopoly for trading activities in Asia, Actually VOC is an East India company, because not only VOC, but also the Dutch, but there is also Geoctroyeerde Westindische Compagnie which has a trading area in the West Indies. This company is the first multinational company in the world as well as the first company to issue a Share sharing system.
VOC is not an ordinary trading company, but a special trading body because it is supported by the state and given facilities and privileges (octrooi). For example, the VOC may have an army, have currency, negotiate with other countries and declare war.
In 1596, four expedition ships led by Cornelis de Houtman sailed to the archipelago or Indonesia. The expedition carried out by Houtman reached Banten, the main pepper port in West Java, where they were involved in a feud with the Portuguese and the locals. Houtman sailed again eastward through the north coast of Java, was attacked by local residents in Sedayu resulting in the loss of 12 crew members, the report said, and a feud also with the local people in Madura led to the killing of a local leader. After losing a lot of crew, the following year they decided to return to the Netherlands.
On 20 March 1602 the VOC was established by Dutch Trade. At that time there was also a fierce competition between European countries, namely Portugal, Spain, England, France, and the Netherlands, to fight for trade hegemony in East Asia. Because of the privileges possessed by the VOC like a country, the VOC could make a state agreement and even declare war on a country.
The explanation of the history teacher in front of the class made the head of one of his female students buzzing because of dizziness with so many years, names, events, and whatever it was made him very upset.
“Stella! When does VOC stand?.” The question of the history teacher who was thrown at Stella or Estella Wijaya made the girl look back and forth hoping that someone told her even if it was only years.
“Emm it aaa 1800?.”
“Read page 15 now!.”
“Good Bu.” Stella opens her history textbook and rereads the history of the establishment of the VOC aloud until the last point of the chapter.
In 1603, the VOC obtained permission in Banten to establish a representative office and in 1610, Pieter Both was appointed the first Governor General of the VOC, but chose Jayakarta as the administrative center of the VOC. Meanwhile, Frederik de Houtman became Governor of the VOC in Ambon in 1605 and afterwards became Governor for Maluku in 1621. So that on December 31, 1799 the number of VOC officials involved in corruption caused the burden of VOC debt to become more and more, so the VOC itself went bankrupt and bankrupt. VOC was declared disbanded by VOC Governor General Van Overstraten, all debts and all VOC property were taken over by the Dutch government.
On 5 January 1808, Daendels arrived in Batavia to replace Governor-General Albertus Wiese. Daendels undertook the task given by King Louis of Holland to reform the corrupt government of the VOC.

The sound of the break bell stopped Stella who was reading the material, all the students closed their respective books including the history teacher who left the class. Stella breathed out her breath while placing her head on top of the history book that was still wide open.
“WHY IS THERE HISTORY ON THIS EARTH!.” Pissed Stella.
“Kalo no history, no story Mada so my ex.” Kinan replied, Stella's closest friend. Kinan or Kinanti Putri is the most popular girl in school because of her Indonesian beauty, if anyone asks how the face of the Indonesian people, just look at Kinan, because she is the face of the original Indo, if you want to see how the face of the Indonesian people, tanned skin, jet black hair, and also sweet.
While Stella is much different from Kinan, sometimes Stella even envies Kinan whose face is very sweet and beautiful with healthy skin. Estella Wijaya, a child of Indo Dutch descent born in Indonesia, her mother is Indonesian, and her father is Dutch. Stella has one sibling whose face is very local, her older brother, Nicolas Wijaya, has a 3-year age gap with Stella, who is, now is studying at one of the famous campuses in Indonesia.
“Lo if you can not move on from Mada why not just reverse Na.”
“NO! I don't want ya lick spit itself, besides Mada also not rhyme back, why I asked to break up even ask for return.”
“Yes it's up to you, I'm a laper. Canteen yuk.”
Stella gets out of her seat and pulls Kinan to go to the cafeteria with her. Not only Stella herself who is mixed people, there is one man who then made the material of ceng-cangs with Stella if they accidentally met. His name is Jansen, a 12th grader IPA 1, is quite quiet and often gets a champion in the Olympics.
“Cieee no Jansen tuh La.” Said Kinan while nudging Stella's arm.
“Ga clear lo.” Stella leaves Kinan and sits at an empty table in their school cafeteria.
“Padahal Jansen quite handsome loh, but why the hell you do not like him.”
“Iya deh yes, beware if you have a crush with Jansen.”
“Ga!.” Stella turned her head towards Jansen who was sitting alone at her desk while eating, their gaze meeting for the first time. Stella does not understand the child but for him Jansen is just a strange child who does not deserve to be friends with him, or even Stella who is dizzy herself because she sees him who continues to read his book even while eating.
But this time it was different, Jansen was looking at him differently, his eyes seemed to describe a very sad feeling. Somehow making Stella feel that sadness indirectly, there was something she wanted to tell him, but it couldn't, that was all Stella caught from Jansen today.
“Lo want what? Let me just take the break.” Say Stella to Kinan to avoid eye contact with Jansen.
“Gue Meatballs with jumbo ga use noodles.”
“OK, drink it?.”
“Common oil.”
“Oke bentar.” Stella heads to the meatball shop and orders two, for her and Kinan at once.
Again Stella looked at Jansen sitting at her desk alone, but Stella still felt that Jansen had seen her too. He thought Jansen was consumed by the talk of people who kept mocking him.
“Stella!.” Someone's call makes Stella turn, there Raden, 12th grade IPS 2 kid who is chasing after her, maybe two or three times Randen get rejection from Stella after expressing his feelings. Raden is not an ugly guy that everyone thinks, he is famous for being handsome, but that is how handsome there must be two types, goodboy handsome, or badboy handsome. Raden is in the category of good-looking badboy, BK subscriptions, skip class, bad grades, and another one of the most popular, players.
“Why?.”
“Jutek highly.”
“Whispering.”
“Lo empty later? I love Keshi.”
“Lo get tickets?.” Stella asked enthusiastically.
“2.”
“Gue want dong, you sell not?.”
“No, but I want to love you, the terms are just lo dateng same I aja.”
“OK come!.”
