Genius Wan
Auction (2)
Iwan listened carefully to Bella's explanation, and asked again.
"The top 3 family is your family, the Rose family, and who's family?" asked Iwan.
"The top 3 families are my family, the Rose family, and the Keraton family. If the Keraton family seems like I do not need to explain anymore, you also must have known from the past Yogyakarta was controlled by the Hamengkubuwono family. Their influence was clearly very strong until now even stronger when compared to the Sneijer family. If my family you already know, my father was a top 3 businessman in Asia while my uncle continued his military career grandfather, no one dabbled in politics, no one, so the influence of our family in Jogja is not too big compared to the other 2 families that have been rooted for a long time in Jogja. For the Sneijer Family they have a strong influence in politics and in the business world they focus on the import export sector, plantations and agriculture. But if outside of Jogja my family is clearly more influential than the 2 families, because our business where - and in the world, my grandfather's military has trained many soldiers who are now of high rank," obviously Bella on Iwan is proud of her family.
Iwan who heard it responded by nodding his head
"Understand - understand, thanks to Bell's explanation, uh I was horrified he said your father wanted to expand the business into the information and technology sector?" asked Iwan
"Emm.. like it has become a public secret, yes, my father really wants to expand the business into the information and technology sector, especially focusing on the development of the internet now, my father really wants to expand the business to the information and technology sector, especially focusing on the development of the internet now, but the field of business competition in the internet world is very broad, so the breadth is very difficult to predict, different from offline businesses whose competitive terrain is visible on the surface. My father has failed several times and he is now focusing on the business he is good at" said Bella

Their conversation was interrupted because they had to focus on the stage to listen to Rose's welcome.
"... Welcome to the auction of Indonesian ornamental plants and flowers in 2010, thank you, the regent, and the father/mother of the representative of the Government of the Environment and Forestry Service, as well as representatives from the Agriculture and Holtikultura Service, as well as the media colleagues and attendees who participated in the auction event today. The purpose of the auction today is not merely to show off wealth or create sensation, but to show how much we love plants and flowers....,"
After 15 minutes, Rose finished his opening speech, Iwan clapped his hands while chatting with Bella, then Rose got off the stage and walked towards the table Iwan and Bella occupied to say hello.
"Heyy Bell, hey Wan, turned out to be together anyway," Rose said to Iwan and Bella.
"Heyy sisstt.. Yes, Iwan semalem ngabarin I said he nitip flowers made at auction today," replied Bella pointed towards Iwan.
"Yeah.. Later you can see at the end of the event, I think, Tulip flowers brought by Iwan yesterday are very good, although not as good as those at auction in Jakarta for Rp40,000,000,- but according to my estimation at least can sell up to the price of Rp5,000,000,-" Rose explained to Bella.
Iwan who was at the side, just listening to their conversation, occasionally responding and joking, their chatter also looked very familiar and cool. Iwan watched Bella and Rose from the side. Although he knew Bella and Rose were the most beautiful students in the school, but seeing her sitting side by side like this, seemed to be the center of attention of everyone in the ballroom.

"Ladies and gantleman, this is the one we're waiting for, the ultimate houseplant in the auction today! this plant was only received yesterday and experts have given high ratings on this plant" said the host with a mysterious tone
The audience in the ballroom began to whisper in wonder, because the last plant was not in the booklet that was spread before, he said, they were curious about this flower that arrived - arriving at the show at the end of the event.
"The ladies and gentlemen must be curious!! without any longer length, we welcome the last plant auctioned today, Tulipa Kaufmanniana or we usually call Tulip flowers!!," said the host cheerfully
Everyone in the ballroom was immediately excited and his eyes were shining, because they knew Tulips lately were very difficult to get. Especially after being brought by the officer on stage, the color is very bright and looks beautiful.
"The ladies and gentlemen can see for themselves, the quality, color and vitality of this Tulip flower is above average! Let's open with a price of Rp2,500,000,- and every offer of a minimum multiple of Rp100,000,-" continued the host when the Tulip flower has been displayed on stage showing its perfect beauty.
"Rp2.600.000,-"
"Rp2.700.000,-"
"Rp2.800.000,-"
"..."
The guests of the auction participants fiercely bid the flowers, the price of Tulip owned by Iwan rose to Rp4,500,000, he said,- then many guests who give up when they see this Tulip flower has reached Rp4,700,000,-
Iwan who heard the auction process just smiled satisfied with the price. But from the side, Iwan heard a man's voice.
"Rp5.000.000,-! ladies and gentlemen please allow me to bring home this Tulip as a gift for my grandmother on her birthday," said the man while standing with his hands on his chest and looking around to leave a polite impression.
Then the guests whispered, but no one continued the offer.
"Who is that?" asked Iwan
"That's Martin, son of IPS, his family is in politics. The son of a member of the House of Representatives, but the influence of his family is not too strong," explained Bella to Iwan who saw the man at the side table. While Rose only nodded her head approving of Bella's speech
"Yaaa.. Ladies and gentlemen number 5 bid Rp5,000,000,- is there another audience who wants to bid? Rp5.000.000,- first... Rp5,000,000,- to...," unfinished host tapped the hammer, a sound came from the table in the corner of the room.
"Rp6.000.000,-! I don't care about your grandmother's birthday!, my boyfriend liked this flower after he saw this Tulip flower go viral in Jakarta," shouted a man who was embracing a woman beside him, he was wearing glasses
"There are more who dare to nawar higher(?)," said Iwan astonished - astonished
"That's Fadlur, he's also an IPS kid but not the same Martin class. His family was equally dabbling in politics, arguably Martin family rivals from his family Fadlur in politics. He is also famous for playboy love gonta changing girls," explained Bella with a tone of disgust because she does not like this type of man, can only squander - scatter her parents' money.
