TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD

TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD
RUPM


The white room with gold and black ornaments was filled with investors from five companies. One of them is Wiratama Group.


It was the first time Aluna attended the General Meeting of Shareholders in her life. His eyes went around in amazement, he saw a meeting room that was so elegant, the arrangement of the table is very slick form the letter U, then added a chair outside the letter U is in harmony. Each seat, already occupied by eighteen investors neatly lined up.


When the three of them entered the room, the investors stood up and greeted. "Good afternoon Mr. Anming, President Alvin, and Mrs President."


"Good afternoon. Thank you to everyone who attended and already wanted to participate," Anming said to all meeting participants, not to forget he also gave greetings to the head of directors and the host of the meeting of the Axel Company.


The meeting began. In the middle of the meeting, they began to discuss further investment plans against the Axel Company. The conversation began to heat up, after the host finished making a percentage. One by one of the meeting participants issued their own opinions. There are some pros and some cons to continue cooperation, investing shares again with Axel Company.


Aluna, who had been sitting next to Alvin, continued to observe and listen to the debates of several investors. To be honest, he did not understand the slightest bit of what they were arguing about. While Alvin, the man's face was very serious, he repeatedly looked at and matched data on the stock exchange regarding the truth they were talking about.


I don't understand what they're talking about. This meeting was so boring! Inner Aluna.


"Hoaem!" Aluna covered her mouth which had repeatedly evaporated her eyes had started to water. He's really very sleepy. Fortunately, some of the meeting participants did not notice him because he was busy arguing.


"From what I saw on the Stock Exchange. Axel's net income and equity declined last year. That's a sign that most likely Axel company will still lose money this year, let alone see its credibility began to decline. I suggest we just stop investing with Axel's company" Anming said. Anming suggested that some investors start pulling stocks.


In addition to Anming, there are several more participants who want to participate in attracting stocks. The reason why they agree with Anming is that, because the company Axel has launched one of the bad skincare products, many rumors say, the cosmetics contained too much mercury and harmful ingredients. Make customers who initially believe in Axel-made products that are identical to natural ingredients, no longer want to buy it. Automatically the company's profits also decreased.


"That rumor makes the customer's mindset change and become unsure about using Axel products. Moreover, there is one beauty blogger who reviews cosmetics live in her content, she experienced itching and irritation after applying it on the face. The last few days, the news has gone viral." One of the counter investors responded.


All meeting participants continue to argue between the pros and cons. Alvin, who is still studying, disagrees. He was convinced that the rumors were not true. Alvin had been investing for a long time, and the Axel Company never let him down.


At a time when Anming and some investors were arguing. The nearly fifty-year-old man glanced to the side. He saw Aluna sitting next to Alvin closing her eyes. Anming knew that the woman was asleep. Aluna fell asleep about five minutes ago.


He could have fallen asleep! I was guessing that this woman was just going to mess up the meeting. Anming grouse in heart.


Because of his focus, Alvin who was sitting next to Aluna did not expect that Aluna was asleep. She herself knew when Anming said to her in a low tone, "Urus was your wife, Alvin!" whispered Anming, the man looked furious as well as annoyed.


Alvin immediately turned his head and stopped his activity that very second. 'It turns out Luna was sleeping'. Inner Alvin.


He was so disappointed that he had to allow Aluna to attend the meeting. Before everyone knew, Alvin immediately covered Aluna's face with his laptop. He then patted Aluna's thigh for her to wake up.


"Luna! Awake up!" alvin whispered very slowly. He couldn't have screamed, if it had happened all would have looked in their direction.


However, Aluna's eyes were still closed. Alvin who tried to wake her up was getting upset. Alvin patted Aluna on the thigh again, but she still didn't wake up.


Why he's not awake. If Luna is left to sleep too long, all investors will know and this will embarrass the company. Especially if until Luna salivates, Inner Alvin.


Alvin relaxed his shoulders as he exhaled very slowly. Alvin was thinking about how to wake his wife that very second.


At the same time. Suddenly the sound of the system sounded very loud in Aluna's ears. Of course, only he himself heard it.


...[.Miss, awake! The meeting will be over soon. You must participate so that the company Alvin does not lose.]...


Hearing the sound of the system, Aluna was so aghast. He immediately woke up and rubbed his face and mouth. Fortunately, because she had only slept for a few minutes, Aluna did not salivate which became a bad habit every time she slept.


Seeing that Aluna had woken up, Alvin was so relieved. But not with Anming, he stared even more sinisterly at Aluna. Feeling guilty, Aluna just shut up and pretended not to see.


"I'm sorry, Alvin," said Aluna. But Alvin did not respond, the man ignored him because he was disappointed.


Aluna sat back quietly as before.


The system is back, sound,


Whahuh? How then, Miss K? ask Aluna in my heart.


...[.Browsing old product information on the internet. You have to investigate why old products do not sell in the market. You don't have much time, Miss. The meeting will soon be closed.]...


"All right, Miss K!" said Aluna.


The movement of Aluna's lips that were talking to the system was seen by Alvin. Unfortunately the man was too serious, reluctant to ask who Aluna was talking to.


Aluna was silent for a few seconds. While in the meeting room, several counter investors continued to urge to stop cooperation with Axel Company.


Out of curiosity, Aluna opened Alvin's laptop and immediately found out quickly why the customers do not want to buy anymore cosmetic products made by Axel. Her fingers quickly searched and entered the name of the cosmetic in one of the applications. Aluna reads fast especially in the customer criticism and advice column. From what he read, almost seventy percent liked Axel's products and the rest did not.


Of the few people who do not like, some are affected because of the video of one of the beauty bloggers. At that time Aluna also searched the internet search engine for profiles and videos of bloggers that went viral in those days.


"So this is the cause!" muttered Aluna.


Aluna then briefly looked at one of the videos of a beauty blogger. And yes, in the video he shows his face flushed immediately when using the product live.


Waitaminute! Looks like something's awkward! Inner Aluna.


Aluna played the video again slowly. It turned out that there was a color difference from the cream he saw with the original product. She knew because Aluna herself used it at home and it was safe. Aluna suspected that the beauty blogger was using a fake product.


Aluna was standing up. "Wait on! Don't stop investing!" exciting Aluna.


Hearing Aluna's words loud and loud. Everyone who was arguing went silent. As with Anming, the man wanted to laugh. In his heart thought 'What a fool would Luna do'.


"What do you mean, Mrs President Wiratama?" One of the meeting participants responded.


"It is better to continue to invest, because I am sure at the end of the year Axel will get a very large profit." Aluna said once again, she was trying to convince.


Seeing Aluna speak loudly, Alvin was shocked. He himself was actually afraid that Aluna, who had not been aware, would say no - not remembering Aluna had just woken up from sleep.


Anming looks dislike, he immediately told Alvin to calm his wife. "Alvin stop your wife" he said.


"Now tell us. What is the reason you say you should continue to invest?" The chief executive mediates.


"I see a very good opportunity in the future if we continue to invest. Soon, Axel will launch a new drug and skincare formula. I'm sure that the product will go viral and sell in the market. It will be very profitable for the company" Aluna said.


However, those who cons instead laughed at Aluna. "How can I do if the virus is because of bad things. Did you not see the influence of the blogger video on Axel cosmetics, do you know a few days later, sales immediately decreased. The product is now in doubt, especially the next product. We're not sure, and we're going to stop investing."


"I agree too." Anming stood up against Aluna.


Seeing the number of doubters, Aluna still insisted on staying on her stance. "Products used by beauty bloggers are fake. Look, the color is different from the original. If you don't believe it, just look at the difference between the original product and the one in the video." Aluna then came forward to show the awkwardness of the video, then showed and likened to the original product brought by the Axel Company representatives.


"Look, different, right? Even in the video, there's a difference in the shape of the logo." Aluna continued to prove it. "That means it's not necessarily the company's fault, chances are there are parties who deliberately dropped!"


All the participants of the meeting then compared what Aluna said. In that minute they also concluded that what Aluna said was true after they saw the product directly.


"Good name Axel Company is already tarnished badly. I don't want to suffer the consequences. Then what's your solution for customers to trust?" Anming stood up against Aluna.


Hearing that Aluna smiled. "We're having a retest of the lab. We advertise to show the public between products that are genuine and fake. After that we conduct research by inviting ten or more respondents to test this product live."


Hearing Aluna's perfect answer. The entire meeting participants were so stunned and amazed. Likewise with Alvin, he who was originally going to be angry even more amazed by Aluna's intelligence.
