LOVE BLOWS FROM REUNION
Episode 197: ORCHID ENTREPRENEUR
That morning, a box truck came into the parking lot of Nirwana Orchid Park. On the walls of the building there is already a large inscription "Garden Orchid Nirwana" made of galvalum and painted light green. Very compatible with wall walls made of super brownish red brick. The shape of the letter was curled like a leaf shape, very good. Adding the beauty of art to the building. Moreover, Mas Wawan has installed this Nirwana Orchid Park on google maps. Then the truck driver can easily find the place to go. As usual, the orchid seedling delivery truck was a night road, avoiding the heat during the day.
At that place was already Mas Trimo, the person who worked to care for orchids. Mas Trimo is still Bagas' nephew. When Rini asks Bagas to find someone who can water the orchid in Rini's Nirwana Orchid Garden, Bagas tells Trimo to help Rini's mother. Mas Trimo is a diligent and diligent person, even though only ordinary villagers, farm workers who only work on neighboring land.
"What's up, sir?" ask Mas Trimo who met the box truck driver who stopped in the parking lot.
"You deliver orchid seedlings. This is a shipment of orchid seeds from Malang, for Nirwana Orchid Park owned by Ibu Rini" said the driver who delivered the orchid seeds.
"Yes, right ..., here's the place. Wait a minute, I called Rini's mother first" said Mas Trimo.
After saying so, Mas Trimo immediately picked up HP calling his boss.
"Hello, Mas Trimo .... What's up?" ask Rini to answer the phone.
"Yes, Rini's mother .... This is a box truck coming, he said to deliver orchid seedlings. How, Mom?" ask Mas Trimo who certainly must report to the owner.
"Oh, yes .., Mas Trimo. Please accept. Soon I will be there." said Rini who told Mas Trimo to accept.
"Yes, Mommy .... I will help you to lower it." replied Mas Trimo.
Mas Trimo turns off HP, then prepares to help lower orchid seeds.
"Yes, Sir .... Later Rini's mother will come here" Mas Trimo told the driver.
"I was helped down, yes .." said the driver.
"Lhoh, this is alone? no kernet?" ask the Trimo.
"Yes .... By ourselves. I went everywhere without a kernet, really." said the driver.
"God .., brave is right, this ..." said Mas Trimo.
"Yes .., for money .... Search for windfall must be ready for combat, Mas .." said the driver.
"Yes .... We must be ready for combat ..." said Mas Trimo.
"You alone?" ask the driver to Mas Trimo.
"Yes .." replied Trimo.
"Walah ..., this large garden is treated alone?" ask the driver.
"Lha wong orchid is still a little, really. Not much." said Mas Trimo.
"Where do the orchids want to be placed? I put it down at the pendopo place first, yes ..." said the driver.
"Yes, it may be .." replied Mas Trimo.
"In that case, my truck turns around, so that the back is directly attached to the pendopo" said the driver who immediately turned the truck, then retreated, then retreated, so that the back of the truck is directly close to the pendopo floor.
Then the driver opened the back door of the truck. So that the orchid seedlings that are in the truck.
"Walah ..., a lot of orchid seeds ...?!" of course Mas Trimo was flabbergasted to see the orchid in the box car. Very much, up to a stack of four shelves.
Rini arrived at Nirwana Orchid Park, while Mas Trimo and the truck driver were still unloading orchid seeds from the truck. He was escorted by Mr. Min, the night watchman of the Nirwana Homestay, who happened to be coming home. Riding a motorcycle.
"Mas Trimo .., take a break. It's drinking the same tea breakfast. The driver was invited to breakfast" said Rini who brought a drink and breakfast a bag of crackles.
"Yes, Rini's mother .... Thank you." said Trimo, who then took the truck driver to rest and breakfast.
They both had breakfast. Enjoy rice pecel side dish rempeyek shrimp made by Mbok Sumi. Large portions, rice for shipment. Ordinary, the portion of people hoeing in the rice fields. Must be very full.
"It's newly built huh, ma'am ...?" ask the driver to Rini.
"Rubber, Sir .... Just finished. So I order orchid seedlings to fill these shelves that have been made." replied Rini bluntly.
"That's great, Mom .... It must be billions of this .." said the driver guessing the cost.
"Ah, no .... This is the land of Mr. Lurah's brother, still cheap." said Rini.
The driver walked to the door, looking inside. Of course I want to know what the orchid garden is like.
"Well .., this is huge, ma'am .... Seeds are lacking. I have to order again to fill all the shelves" said the driver again.
"These two thousand five hundred thousand dollars are still lacking? Was .... Here I have spent twenty-five million to buy seedlings, still less ...?!" rini said that she was very sorry.
"Try later these seeds are laid out on the shelf, at least there is no half of it, ma'am .." said the driver who gave an estimate.
"God .... Should I shop again? Buy more seedlings?" ask Rini who is curious.
"Yes .., right, Mom .... At least for this garden, about ten thousand pots, Ms. .." said the driver again.
"Wadm .... One hundred million, dong ..." said Rini who immediately called the count of money.
"Over orchid if I eat the capital is big, Mom .... Different if the mother has her own nursery. Build a laboratory, develop seedlings. That's very profitable. Moreover, Mother's land is still very large, it is coupled with a house built hatchery laboratory. Later can be a big profit." explained the driver who drove the orchid.
"Oo ..., like that, yeah .... But if for example I only sell this way, it can still be profitable, right?" ask Rini again, who is certainly still hesitant to build a laboratory.
"Clearly good, Mom .... This alone, from this seedling later in three to six months, is already flowering. I can already sell at the cheapest price of fifty thousand. If the interest is good, sell it at a high price. The longer, the bigger the tree, the more expensive it is. There is no loss in the ornamental plant business, Mother .." said the driver.
"Whoa .... Mr. Driver, you know ..., likes to brag people ..." said Rini who felt motivated.
"Rubber, Mother .... But if I may suggest, while caring for the seedlings, Mother also takes the ready-to-flowering. So you can sell. In addition, selling orchids if there are no flowers looks less attractive" said the driver gave a choice.
"Yes, yes too, sir ..." said Rini who began to be interested in bringing in the already flowering.
Then Rini began to order orchids that already have flowers. Of course, it does not have to be full of all the shelves made by Mas Wawan. Can slowly, while turning money from sales. At least, Rini had to spend another fifty million to increase the number of plants. Well, this is what is called pioneering the business. Must dare to spend capital.
Mas Trimo who arrange orchids to the garden shelf, carried by using the crank trolley of goods driven. Many times in and out carrying pots of orchid seedlings. And right, it turns out that after everything is arranged on the shelf, there is no half of it.
Yes, if you want a big business, you have to have big capital. And most importantly, be bold and confident. Including to open an orchid business, do not be careless. So big, that it will generate a lot of revenue.
Rini, now an orchid entrepreneur. Selling orchids with beautiful and charming gardens, Nirwana Orchid Garden.
