Joe William
Ride the Trolley again
"Dad. I'm not in Kuala Nipah anymore."
A young man was sitting by the window of a hotel room looking down.
Thanks to the practice of climbing coconut trees, now the young man does not feel phobias anymore in height.
Clamping the phone between his shoulder and cheek, he began to pick up a wooden crate placed on the table, opened it and took out a black-and-white photo of his grandfather's legacy.
In the black and white photo, there is a picture of Malik and Tengku Mahmud's grandfather when they were in their 30s.
"My son. Where are you at the moment?" One voice asked across the phone.
"Right now Joe's at the Martins Hotel, Dad." Answer the young man.
"Joe. Next to the Tower Mall building, there is an apartment building owned by Tower Sole propier. It's one of your properties in the city of Kemuning. In addition to Tower Mall, there is also an entertainment center called Tower Club on the border of the coral cape. All the property and assets of the company are managed by Dad's best friend named Aline. Maybe you met Miss Aline when you visited the Tower Mall."
"According to Dad, does Joe have to jump directly into taking care of property assets owned by the Tower Sole propier company? Joe doesn't have the ability to do that yet." Joe said with doubt.
"You need to learn and be brave. If you retire, who will replace you? All of it is yours. And so, from now on you are the skipper. If it gets shipwrecked, you'll be shipwrecked with your company. If you can make it through the storm, then you'll reach the destination island."
"Joe still needs to learn. Joe doesn't want it to be after Joe's fall, the company goes bankrupt." Said Joe again.
"Just entrust it to Miss Aline while studying. If later you have mastered the business procedures, you can open another business and spread your wings in the business world."
"Good Dad. Joe will do as you please." Said Joe.
"Then what are your plans Joe?"
"This is what Joe still thinks. Joe had no idea what to do. Joe has never been in contact with any business. If asked to fight, Joe might be able to. But for this matter, Joe was still completely blind and understood nothing." Answer Joe.
"That's just how Joe is. Tomorrow you have a meeting with all the staff and you will be accompanied by Mr. Burhan. Mr. Burhan this is your uncle Tigor's trust attorney. From tomorrow the world must know that you are a powerful enough man. Lure your enemies out to get close to you. Isn't that what they want? They've been in Indonesia just to find you. You can handle this problem. Later if your problem is over, you should return to Starhill immediately. There's still a lot to take care of including your lecture here." Said the man called Dad by Joe.
"Good Dad. Well then, Joe will leave everything to Uncle Tigor. Tomorrow Joe will set out to have a meeting with the staff at the Tower Sole propier as well as take a look at our property that is here." Said Joe.
"Joe, I will immediately have Miss Aline take care of everything for you including taking care of all the profits in the Tower Sole propier into your account. Let him take care of it and I'll put in some money for you to do whatever you think can be profitable in the business world."
"Dad want to give me money? How many? Can it buy a car? Because Joe's good at driving." Joe said happily.
"Buy the factory." The man said and ended the call.
Now Stay Joe stupefied alone digest words from his father just now.
*********
The next day, accompanied by Tigor and Mr. Burhan, Joe visited Tower Mall.
As soon as I saw someone wearing a black Hoodie Jacket with a mask of cat emblem and wearing a necklace that had two Jade-shaped badges of dragons and tigers, all the good bodyguards were Security, he said, neither did the thumper line up and bow saluting the three men.
"Chairman, we need to get to the top floor. They've been waiting for us there." Tigor invites Joe to the elevator.
The three of them then entered the elevator room and immediately pressed the number 17 button where they had agreed to hold a meeting on this 17-story Mall building.
After waiting a few minutes, finally the elevator door opened and now Joe saw dozens of people dressed in white shirts combined with black vest suits lined up waiting in the hallway to a room that they would make as a meeting place.
"Welcome young master." They said simultaneously.
"What else is in place?" Ask Tigor.
"Already bang. They had arrived about thirty minutes ago." Answer them.
"Please chief!" Tigor.
Arriving at the door of a room, men dressed in white with black vests again made a row and then allowed the three men to enter.
After knocking on the door, Tigor opened the door and invited Joe to enter before him and Mr. Burhan.
Seeing the arrival of an unknown person along with Tigor and Mr. Burhan, without being in command again they immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
Because even though they did not see the face of the person wearing the mask of the cat, but from the necklace he was wearing, and two people who accompanied him, everyone in the room felt certain that this was Joe William. Their young master is the owner of this Tower Sole propier company.
"Welcome young master." They said simultaneously.
"Please sit back!" Joe said by making a gesture with his hand.
"Thank you young sir." They said simultaneously too.
Shortly after, a middle-aged woman accompanied by two men and a young woman approached the special chair occupied by Joe, then immediately take a seat side by side with Tigor on the right and Pak Burhan on the left.
"How's Miss Aline doing? Long time no see. I miss riding the Trolley." Joe said he made the two men look at each other with pale lips.
"Good news Young master. Thanks for your attention." Miss Aline replied with a sweet smile.
"alright. Loosen the tension on your face. I didn't come here to do the firing. I came here only to get to know you guys more closely as the staff who are huddled inside the company that just moved into my hands. Besides wanting to ride the trolley." Said Joe.
Hearing this from Joe, Tigor and Mr. Burhan pretend to be down as if looking for something under the table. They both half-dead held back laughter.
"Here may all the brothers and sisters wonder why I look like this. This is because I don't want my face to be recognized by my enemies. You are free to take my pictures and videos like you did the other day which caused my father's business rival to move straight to this Kemuning town to hunt me down. If I knew who spread my pictures and videos, I'd like to have that guy's teeth brushed." Joe said furiously. But even though he was angry, his words still made Tigor again feel pain in his stomach.
"Miss Aline's. I don't have much time. Now some concerned people can accompany us to look at some properties owned by Tower Sole propier in the city of Kemuning. I want to know what a 19-story apartment building looks like and what Tower Club looks like."
"Provide Trolley. I'm leaving right now." Said Joe.
"Young master. We take care of the company's financial accounts on your behalf. So, every net profit from the company, will enter automatically into your bank deposits. And this is your Debit card. If you want something, you can call me right away." Miss Aline said and continued.
"Young master can wait a while. There are some important documents about ownership in the company that you must sign. Here Mr. Burhan as a law firm that acts as a notary will strengthen again about the transfer of ownership of the company in the eyes of the law in this country." Said Miss Aline.
"Uncle. How's this. I understand something like this." Whisper Joe to Tigor.
"Chairman. You read it carefully first, then signed. If there are details in the document that you do not understand, then you can ask directly to Miss Aline.
"Yes already." Joe said then took a map containing several sheets of paper and read it.
At first he thought that it would be over in just a few minutes. Though while sweating coldly, but he still did not finish reading the details in the ownership certificate.
"Stupid me. Why don't they be the ones I tell you to read using loudspeakers. I can just listen." Joe thought to himself.
"You read this to me!" Joe said as he put the paper on the table.
Accompanied by Tigor and Mr. Burhan, Joe finally understood also about the ownership documents of the company.
He now without hesitation immediately signed the letters and immediately stepped towards the trolley that had been prepared by the bodyguards for him.
"Manager or a high-ranking Staff should push this trolley. It's a blessing to you." Said Joe.
Those who heard Joe's words just looked at each other and scrambled to push the trolley.
"Uncle. Make an uproar for the enemy to notice us." Joe said as he pranced cheerfully on the trolley.
Some visitors appear to be recording the incident and uploading it to social media with various titles. This is the real purpose of Joe. Make a fuss and provoke the attention of the opponent.
