After buying a house, of course Indra and Irul immediately look for a handyman, to renovate the house converted into a grocery store. Although the building is still good, but the building is designed for residential homes, not for shops. There is a living room and rooms. Of course, to be used as a shop there must be sacrificed, to be opened so that the room is wider.
"Mas .., I want, we will not only sell retail ..., but if it can also be an agent in Lasem here" Indra told her husband, when there is in the newly purchased house, with the handyman to advise what the handyman will do later.
"Walah ..., be an agent? Then, we do trophy to the stalls, so ...?" ask her husband, who is certainly surprised by his wife's plans. Suddenly Irul will be the boss of the camp in Lasem.
"Yes, Mas .... That is why this living room is broken down with the front room. Later this door is replaced with a rolingdoor, which can be opened wide freely. Then the front room, the wall to this room was broken down as well. So later the shop will be big and free. It is easy to put the goods, the shopping is also free, and we who qualify are also easy to get the goods. So .., the one shopping feels comfortable, and the one that is bracing is also good. No ribet. The back room with kitchen and bathroom leave it alone. At least it can be used for rest. If you need to cook, then make it easy. So, yes shop, yes it can be for home. The front is the store" said Indra who gave input to her husband. Indeed, the average person of Chinese descent who has a business, his house is also used as a warehouse. There is no word house should be like a palace, but the palace can be used as a place of business. That's the utilization of all the space that can be used.
"Well, but if we want to be agents, we have to have a lot of stock, Dek .... Where will it be put?" ask her husband to Indra.
"How about the vacant land next to it, which he said he wanted a garage to make, we love walls and roofs. Later to put the merchandise. Call it a warehouse." Indra proposed to her husband.
"Oh, yes .... Means later on the right side to be walled, continue to use only lightweight galvalum roof. So it doesn't need much wood. It's yo, Kang .... So later make the wall there first, keep this one, the living room and the front room in the unloading for the store. Later the door will use a rolingdoor" said Irul explained to the builders. The carpenter is his own neighbor, so it is more delicious and free to be invited to the pot.
"Well, don't these emans, Mas Irul ...? This door frame and window sling is good, you know .... Teak all this." said the handyman.
"Tomorrow is installed elsewhere. If it builds again." It is a difficult word to explain. Of course because of different needs.
"Yes, Mas Irul .." replied the handyman who complied with the one ordered by the one who owned the house. The builders immediately worked. Some go to the building shop, shopping for material needs, some directly dig the soil to make the foundation. Some also broke into the wall. All are diligent and diligent. In fact, Irul who owns the building, also helped. Likewise his father Irul, did not go to the field, but also took part in the cawe-cawe help clean up. Especially his mother, must have sent food and drinks. Therefore, the construction carried out to remodel the house into a shop, quickly seen its development.
It only takes a week. The house has turned into a place. Even the additional buildings on the side, were also finished. The room is quite large and extends backwards. Directly contact to the store room. That later, it will definitely load a lot of stuff. All are painted in bright and fresh colors. The house looks completely new. Just filling the merchandise.
"Kang, please the mango tree that is on the right side is cut. Continues, the front courtyard of this house is all fitted with paving blocks. Until pol in the west. Please count how many meters, will be ordered directly paving block" said irul to his exchange.
"Filled all the paving?" ask exchange.
"Yes, the front page. Let the people who shop here feel comfortable and good. Parking is spacious and easy to turn the vehicle." replied Irul who was certainly inspired by the factory of Mr. Jamil, whose yard is free to use parking.
"The mango tree's all cleared?" ask the handyman again.
"Not all .... Only the tree, which is to the east, claps against the neighboring wall. And later let to get in and out of the freight car carrying goods. Leave the yard wide, the bus car muter. The one in the west is the same edge of the front fence it does not need to be cut down. Make a shade, and if the fruit can be enjoyed." replied Irul, who certainly also did not want the place of the store was hot.
"O, yes .., Mas .... Later we finish cutting the mango tree is the same as the installation of paving" said the handyman invited to the pot.
Everything's been sorted out. Indra and Irul looked at the building with happy smiles. Likewise his father Irul, who would be proud if his son would open a big store, which provides all the needs of basic food. Even his younger siblings Irul had told the neighbors that his brother would be a sembako agent in Lasem. A news that would be a promotional event. Especially the villagers who like to convey the news with exaggerated. Surely the news about Irul with his wife will open a large grocery store that has been spread to various directions.
"Le, Irul .., that's the building the store is already so .... If for example tomorrow Sunday Pahing Malem Monday Pon, it's us slameti first, how? Yoo ..., lingo ngeslupi shop ..." said his father Irul while jagongan in the living room of his family home. Coincidentally that afternoon all his family gathered at his parents' house.
"God, Le .... Let's all be safe ..." added his mother.
"And his recovery is smooth, Pakde ..." - Timpal.
"Yes .... I have also thought like that, sir, Mak .... I'm guessing who's invited by anyone?" said Irul who immediately asked the people who would be shady for salvation.
"Tomorrow you to his RT there .... All report and invite the neighbors near your shop there. If you need the modinnya also there. Ask all the numbers there are how many people, later to calculate their consumption" said his father who certainly asked Irul to get to know his neighbors.
"Nriv .... It's what the villagers here are like, sir?" ask Irul.
"I'll be the one to invite .... I met one by one, especially our brothers. If I am the one who is shady, surely they will hesitate if they do not want to come" said his father, who certainly wants to force people who are invited to come.
"Excite, Sir ...." Irul obeyed everything her parents planned. Of course, everything is for the good, especially to live in harmony with brothers and neighbors, and always increase gratitude to the Almighty God, who has given sustenance in his life.
"Mas .., we'll open a grocery store .... How about tomorrow, for example, during the celebration, we give a basic package to the invited ones?" the motion of Indra to her husband.
"But we don't have any merchandise yet, Dek ...?" of course Irul is confused by what his wife proposed, because indeed in the store it is still empty.
"Tomorrow we bring. Which is the tree first. Rice, sugar and oil. If necessary with instant noodles." said Indra who certainly wanted to show his merchandise to invited residents.
"Can you shop suddenly?" of course Irul hesitated. Because during his time as an employee Babah Ho, never knew how to shop massively suddenly. If in the market, the sales do not come every day.
"Try tomorrow I ask, Mas .... Hopefully it can." replied Indra who was eager to become a massive grocer.
In the morning, I was busy with my phone. Of course he began to contact various acquaintances of suppliers or suppliers of sembako. Including asking for friends who are in the bank, to ask for numbers of customers engaged in the field of providing basic goods. Of course it is very easy, because the bank of Indra's workplace at that time was a bona fide private bank that most of its customers were people of Chinese descent who moved on average in trading businesses. Including the basic trade.
"Mas Irul .., finished our breakfast directly to the store. Because of this there are already distributors who leave to send goods" Indra said to her husband.
"That's fast, Deck ...?" of course Irul was shocked by his wife's work system.
"If we want to open a business, do not be lazy, Mas .... Must move as fast as lightning. One minute different, goods and prices have changed. The seller's position has also moved. So if Mas Irul wants to be a big shooter, must move quickly and always follow the price news. Do not let us lose, even if we dare to install the cheapest price rates. If Mas Irul wants to be like that, then the whole area around us, I will feed it all to our shop. Maybe even Mas Irul just talk, the goods have gone their own way" said Indra gave understanding to her husband.
"That's it, Dek ...?" Irul is increasingly confused with the Chinese trading system.
"Don't be lazy, don't talk, don't sleep, and don't just wait. Later the food is chopped chicken. We have to be diligent, diligent, move fast and always pick up the ball .... Build communication with everyone we can partner with. Don't look at people who seem weak. Even a beggar can give us sustenance. That's the way if you want to go forward." this time Irul really lectured by his wife. Understandably, he is only a graduate of SMP, while Indra is a baccalaureate in financial management. It must be about trade he understands better.
Irul pulled out his vehicle, of course rushing to go to his shop with Indra. Because as his wife said earlier, soon there will be goods coming. Strange as it may seem, his wife did not go anywhere, but was able to bring in merchandise orders in an instant. But unfortunately, the motor that was driven by Irul, many times did not want to live. Until finally it must be pushed first, so that the machine will live.
"Later noon to the motorcycle dealer, Mas .... Buy a new motor. Motorbikes that go on strike like this also hamper work" Indra said to her husband, who was certainly sweating because he had to push the motor many times.
"Yes, Deck .... How about a motorbike?" sahut Irul is still shaking his wife.
"So much Mas Irul .... The important thing is not a bribe ..." replied Indra who was certainly a bit upset with the fussy motor butut.
It is only a short time to get to the store, however the distance is not far. Only about a mile and a half. But because the bike broke down, it ended up being a long time. And in fact, on the highway in front of the Irul store that was still closed, there was a box truck that stopped. It must be the truck that will deliver the goods.
"Mother Indra, yes ...?" ask the truck driver when he finds out Indra and Irul are piggybacking into the shop yard.
"Yes, right .... From where?" ask Indra.
"From Den Marco Raya .... Want to send the goods, ma'am .." said the truck driver box.
"O, yes ... just go in ..." said the sense to the driver. "Mas, this is the merchandise already coming .... We put it in the warehouse room first, yes ..." continued Indra told her husband who put the motor away from the entrance.
"Yes, Deck .... Let me open it." replied Irul to his wife. Then shouted at the kernet that gave the driver a cue box, "Mas, the truck just backed away, towards the door of the warehouse. Later let the back door of the truck into the door of the warehouse" said Irul who immediately opened the door of the warehouse, which had just been completed.
"Yes, sir .." replied the driver who had turned the truck. Back towards the door of the warehouse that was just opened by Irul.
Kernet and the driver immediately dropped off the items ordered by Indra. One full truck unloaded all. There's rice packed in a five-kilo plastic. There are bottle-packed cooking oils and refillable packaging, all in cardboard. There's a one-kilogram premium sugar packed in a carton. And of course there are many more merchandise that have been bought by Indra. That's what came new from one supplier. Of course, tomorrow will come other suppliers who have been included in the list of Indra partners. Surely the newly built warehouse was immediately fulfilled by the new arrival.
Kernet and the driver after finishing lowering the goods, then check the amount of goods, along with Indra and her husband. Of course to make sure the amount is correct with the ordered.
"Sorry, Ms. Indra .... It's a receipt of a road letter and proof of receipt, ask for Mom's autograph" said the driver, who handed over his paper.
"Yes, Sir .... Thank you, you ..." replied Indra who immediately signed the receipt.
"So we were ordered by the manager, so that Mother Indra tomorrow immediately make a PO or mail order for goods, to facilitate spending. It's already got the name of the shop isn't it, ma'am?" said the driver.
"Oh, yes, Mr .... Sorry, we're just going to open on Monday. We don't have the name of this store yet. I will make a name and a name soon. Thank you, Mr. ..." said Indra who certainly gave an envelope containing money for tipping the driver and kernet. Of course tomorrow if asked to take you to the shop again will be happy.
The box truck immediately exited Indra's shop yard, and immediately veered into the highway. Will definitely return to his employer. Irul and Indra observe the truck until it disappears.
"Walah .., this is a myriad of direct groceries, Dek ..." said Irul who was with his wife had returned to the warehouse.
"Yes, Mas .... Tomorrow we will give gifts for what we invite here." replied Indra.
"His name says. By selamatan. In that case, later we ask the brothers to help pack, yes ..." proposed Irul who will ask for help his sisters.
"Yes, Mas .... We tomorrow if we open the store, also need energy, need employees who help us." added Indra who certainly must have a waiter at the store.
"Yes, Deck .... If it's on the way. There is still me and my sisters. We splice first. Precisely what I thought, that was what the truck driver said, we gave the name and business license" said Irul.
"Rubber, Mas. Then we close the warehouse. The key from within. We go to the District, ask for business license management. Continue bablas to motor dealers. I don't want to push this motorbike. Later if the nagging can tetanus .... Hehe ..." said Indra who of course directly mocked her husband.
"Yes .., yes .... Come, mbonceng here ..." said Irul who was ready to leave for the District Office, to take care of business licenses as said by the truck driver earlier. Surely it is very important, because later the business of irul and Indra will enlarge. Become a great sembako agent.
