Zen and Vero had already disembarked from the plane they were boarding towards the Capital of the Country. With a journey that took half an hour, they finally arrived safely at the capital of Jakarta today.
While waiting for their luggage that they put in the trunk arrived, Vero finally began to revive his smartphone, after he turned it off while still on the flight he was on.
“Hm... Why did Kelly from earlier contact me?” muttered Vero, who was currently checking his phone and found a lot of missed call notifications from his best friend.
Seeing that, of course, he immediately contacted his best friend, because he seemed to want to give important news. Moreover, the missed call from Kelly when Vero turned on his phone, somehow made himself feel a little worried at the moment.
“Halo, what's up, Kel?” ask Vero to his best friend.
“Vero Wire. All sponsors have started to withdraw from the project that we will be working on” said the woman, who gave quite unpleasant news to Vero.
“What?!” Of course Kelly's words immediately made Vero very surprised, and did not expect that finally this is what happened to his company.
Kelly did get a notice about some sponsors who had already withdrawn, when he was already at Vero's company to work. By replacing the position of Vero, who is not currently in his company, he began carrying out the duties ordered to replace him.
But as he prepared to begin his duties, a subordinate of Vero immediately informed Kelly of the withdrawal of several sponsors to continue their cooperation with the company owned by Vero. And that's what makes Kelly directly contact his best friend directly.
“Then, what is their reason for withdrawing from that cooperation?” ask Vero, who is currently calming down, and think of a solution to the problem he is experiencing.
“Because the news about the Cosmetics Archipelago withdrawing from the main sponsor, has arrived in their ears” retorted Kelly, which made Vero immediately frown upon hearing the words of his best friend.
“Wait, shouldn't our agreement and Nusantara Cosmetics be a confidentiality? Why do they know it?” Ask Vero who started to massage his forehead which feels dizzy at this time.
Indeed, Vero's company tries strictly to keep what happens with his company, especially what happens with the main sponsor who supports the project he will work on. Moreover, he did not expect that the sponsors who had supported his company would cancel their cooperation unilaterally.
Moreover, he had predicted, that if the problem about the withdrawal of the main sponsor from the project he was working on spread, then all sponsors who sponsored his company would definitely leave him too. And evidently, at this time all sponsors who are willing to fund themselves have withdrawn.
“That's him I don't know, Ver. Where exactly the news can be leaked” reply Kelly at this time.
Of course they are dizzy now, especially Vero is not currently in his company, to take care of the problems about sponsors who flocked to withdraw it. Especially if indeed this problem is not quickly resolved, then it can be said that the company will be in danger.
"Hahh... Why now does it seem like the problem continues to come to me?" Murmured Vero who is currently starting to dizzy thinking about the fate of his company.
Nusantara Cosmetics is willing to bear 15% of the total budget from sponsors to be used by Vero. Even by participating in several other sponsors, Vero has earned a total of 30% of the project budget that he will do.
Moreover, with the addition of StarFlix which will bear 50% of the production process budget, Vero feels it is enough to at least produce the project that he has promised to the StraFlix. Moreover, Vero is very confident that he can bear the rest of the budget needed by himself.
“Then, what should we do, Kel?” asked Vero then whose head was getting dizzy thinking about the problems that were happening, and immediately made Kelly start thinking about various ways to restore this situation back to how it was.
Vero can only bear 30% of the total production they have planned. So he needs some sponsors. But unfortunately at this time, all parties have resigned from the project that he will work on.
“Mumpung you are in Jakarta, Ver. You'd better find some sponsors who want to fund our project. Otherwise, maybe the option to borrow funds from the Bank, is a solution so that our company does not fall” Kelly replied.
All the funds that Vero got when he sold his shares, he did not use it fully to fund his project. Because indeed he had to divide the funds to one of the remaining companies from his own, to save the company which was also on the verge of collapse.
Of course, his other companies, need funds in order to operate. Moreover, all the funds have been corrupted by some parties who have been languishing in prison at this time. So, currently the funds he has can not help himself in solving the problems, which occur in his company at this time.
“Hahh. I will try to” reply Vero then who started to turn off his phone, and decided to solve the problem first about the Cosmetic Archipelago.
Of course, he must return the main sponsor from the project he will work on. Moreover, they are still opening the door to negotiations so that Vero can convince them to sponsor his company again. So now Vero is in town to negotiate with them.
“Ah... Our luggage has arrived since?” vero asked Zen, who was currently standing in his place, holding his own and Vero's suitcase.
Indeed Zen only paid attention to the activities of Vero from earlier, who was talking to Kelly. Moreover, Zen could feel that the woman was currently in a not very good condition. Of course the news he just heard earlier, was the reason and made Zen decide not to bother him.
“Of course. I've been waiting for you, even taking your suitcase that you did not take back Zen's reply.
“I'm sorry, Zen. Because indeed I was very busy with my phone earlier” replied Vero, and immediately thanked his paid husband, before they started moving on from there.
To be honest, Zen can help the woman out of her problems, even intending to help her. Because indeed he was always good with Zen, especially he did not hesitate to provide himself with good food every day.
Although it could be said Vero was quite upset to provide some ingredients only for Zen to eat, but he still did it. But the thing is, how Zen will help the woman out of her troubles.
Moreover, all the things that currently make Vero can get out of the problem about his company, it is basically a help from Zen. Starting from his cooperation with StraFlix, to the shares that sold very expensive.
Because indeed, if indeed Zen did not know even have a relationship with Vero, where maybe some parties who helped him would provide assistance to Vero voluntarily. Moreover, the current status of Zen who had to hide his identity, made himself unable to help much about the condition of Vero.
“Oh... tumben you want to be in one room with me?” zen asked later, because at this time the woman did not protest when they would stay in the same room.
“Kelly has rented this room for us. So, we better just stay in this place just” said Vero who made an excuse.
He also did not want to stay in a room with Zen. Moreover, he had intended to rent an additional room for Zen, because he already knew that Kelly would only rent them a room only.
But because it is the condition of his company that is threatened to go bankrupt again, finally made him decide to save his current expenses. Including costs that he considers trivial to be issued, he decided not to spend it, so that he could save money.
“Oh... alright. But you have to remember, I have to sleep in bed” said Zen then, who has now entered his hotel room, and did not care about the response from Vero who is now starting to look upset.
Of course Vero already knows the consequences when he will stay in the room with Zen. But how else, he was forced to do it, to save some expenses so as not to burden the problems that occur in his company.
“Hahh..
