DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 66: STARTING A BUSINESS
Jamil started the venture, continuing his brass craft that belonged to his former boss. With eight employees, two of them women. Everything is young. Under the age of Jamil. Of course with a young age, these employees have excellent energy, and a burning spirit. And at least, Jamil did not feel hesitant to tell or advise. Of course for the good of the workers and the spit.
Of course Jamil is very grateful, the old employees are mostly lazy, they all choose to go out. People who are difficult to be invited forward prefer to be given severance than told to work which they think is uncertain and cannot be expected the results. They prefer money that is clearly visible in front of his eyes. While if working, in the condition of chrismone is very unexpected. Moreover, the decision of the old boss, they were put away because there was no job. Jamil was glad the old employees came out.
After the people who chose to ask for severance all went home, now at the guest place, where it had been used as a gathering place with all employees, he said, now there are only eight employees plus Jamil who returned to sit together with the employees. Of course Jamil will give his first briefing as a boss.
"Friends, sisters all ..." said Jamil.
"Yes, sir ..." said the employees.
"I thank you, because my young brothers want to help me. I am grateful that my friends still want to work here" Jamil told his employees.
"We are grateful, Mr. Boss.." chirped one of the employees.
"Don't call me boss .... I was also a regular worker just like sampeyan .... We are all the same ..." said Jamil who was uncomfortable called Mr. Boss.
"Excuse me, sir ..." said the person who beat.
"Today we have not started work. We'll take care of our workplace first. Setting the position, setting the location, and arranging the responsible. Although we will all help each other, but there must be a responsible person in each section. So that the parts know, which is less, which is more, which must come first, and which must be left behind. At least each of these in charge knows the advantages and disadvantages. So as the person in charge of each field I submit to the samples that yesterday are already in their respective parts. Well, please feel you have expertise in what part, please convey." said Jamil who has started arranging personnel.
"Sir Jamil .... May I propose?" said one of the young employees.
"O, yes .... Please ..." says Jamil.
"If you can, our craft is not just to make it .... At most water faucets, door handles, the biggest just decorative lights ..." said the young man.
"Well, what do you mean we should make any more crafts? Frankly I need input from you guys .... I am a village person who does not go to school, so do not go back and forth about the crafts .... Please if you have an idea developed here ..." said Jamil who can only sand brass for ten years.
"Now we are chrismone, sir .... The price of raw materials is expensive, but if it has become an expensive maudijual item does not sell. How about we make small decorations that can be sold cheaply and many people like ...?" said the young man.
"Well .., here are the genius employees .... I don't deserve to be called the boss, because I can't think like a young one. Come on, develop your ideas ..." says Jamil who motivates his employees.
"Little decorations that can be sold cheaply and are much liked by the person for example what ...?" ask one of his friends.
"Yes .., like brooches. Many women use this brooch as an accessory to their clothes" said the young man who had the idea.
"Oooo .., yes ..., yes .... I know what you mean .... That, to .., which pretentiously affixed to the rich man's clothes, right ..." said his friend who began to open his horizons.
"Yes .., I also have a brooch, but from plastic ..." said the female employee who already knew the meaning as well.
"Rubber .... But don't just brooch it .... It could be other forms that people can buy" said another.
"Well ..., yeah .... You all have a lot of ideas .... But why not put it here ...?" jamil said praising his employees.
"Even so, the product was determined only that really, sir .." replied one of the employees.
"Eh, yes .., Mr. Jamil .... Sorry, our salary was not paid last month, Mr. ..." suddenly one of the employees conveyed the issue of outstanding salary.
"Huh ...?! That's right ...?!" jamil was surprised to hear that.
"Rubber, Sir .... We who still want to work here this, which new employees, salary last month just paid in half, Mr. ..." said another.
"Is that right, Mabak Ika ...?" Jamil asked Ma'am Ika who probably knew better.
"Yes, Sir .... I also just paid half ..." replied Ika.
"Mas Bono is like that too?" jamil asked an employee named Bono, whom Jamil considered the most mature.
"Yes, Sir .... By Mr. Boss was promised mid-month, but until Mr. Harto left we remain unpaid." replied the most senior employee among them named Mas Bono.
Jamil. Confused what to do. It turned out that the company left behind by his boss, who was told to manage it, was completely in ruin. Debts are everywhere. Even debt to employees. But on the other hand, Jamil is also confused, having to find money from where to pay the salary arrears of these employees.
"Sorry, Mr .... We know the financial condition in this company .... We are willing to lack our salary is not paid or paid later if the company has improved. Kan Pak Jamil was also our colleague, we understand the economic difficulties in this time of chrismone ...." said Mas Bono who has since worked there people are very good and sensitive to company problems.
"Jeez Mas Bono .... You're really a good man. But what about the others ...?" said Jamil who praised Mas Bono.
"It's okay, Mr ...."
"We're the same as Mas Bono, sir ...."
"It's important we go first, sir ...."
"Rubber, Sir .... Salary can be quoted later ...."
"It's important that our business goes well, sir ...."
Friends .... Actually, Mr. Jamil has sacrificed more than us ....He is not only the salary that is sacrificed, but to close the debt of the company and give severance of our friends who come out, it all comes from the personal money of Mr. Jamil .... So, we have to help Mr. Jamil to restore our place of business, our workplace ..." suddenly Madam Sri, the female employee of the packing section was speaking.
"Ah, Sister Sri .... Don't talk about it .... Instead, I am very sad with these employees who are willing to cut their salaries for company numbers. No need to worry .... Later if our financial condition has improved, all your lack of payment I will give .., I will pay off ..." said Jamil promised his employees.
"Horeee .... Thank you, Mr. Jamil ..." welcome the employees who are certainly happy with the expectations given by the new boss.
The division of work went well. The parts of the work, ranging from the production of mixing copper with other materials such as zinc, the manufacture of craft products, salting or finishing, packing and sales. Everything is divided into its responsibilities. And now, even though the employees are reduced a lot, but the parts are added, namely designers, designers, makers of model items such as accessories that will be printed.
Jamil is happy to see his employees vying to get his idea out. Of course, there will be many variations of the product produced. And of course to find items that are easy to market and not affected by chrismone.
"All right, thank you .... I'm happy to be with all of you, working together, and later to get the results we can share together. For today we have enough, you can go home. Tomorrow morning we start work" Jamil told employees.
