Andi sat his p*ntat on his bed, his back he rested on the wall. Andi had just finished her bath after returning home from Surabaya. The young man then pulled out his cell phone. He did not call Brian yesterday. So, right now Andi is going to call Brian.
“Hallo Andi what's calling me.”
“Hallo Brian's. I'd like to ask for your help this time.”
“What do you need help with?”
“Do you have a contact with someone who provides bodyguards? A security company. Do you have company contacts like that? But I don't want them to come from inside the country. I want them from outside.”
“What are you asking me for?” Brian asked a little.
“Because I want to hire some bodyguards for my family. Especially for my mom and my two sisters. I want someone to look after them when they travel.”
“Indeed why do you need it? Is your family in danger?”
Brian was quite confused as to why someone like Andi needed a bodyguard. But why ask that the bodyguard come from a foreign country? Doesn't exist in this country?
As short as Brian knows, in this country there are already several security companies that channel the services of a bodyguard. So why not just look for one that comes from this country?
“I have a little problem and my family needs an escort. I trust less the guards of our country. So I want to find a bodyguard from abroad.”
Brian was eager to ask what kind of problem his friend was facing. But, because Andi had no intention to tell him, Brian did not ask Andi. If Andi wants to talk about it, then without Brian asking any further Andi will tell him.
“It just so happens that my father's sister has a security company. The company's headquarters are in Spayol. I can ask Uncle Roy about it. How much do you need?”
Andi tried to calculate how many bodyguards he needed. For both his sister and his mother only Andi needed eighteen people. That did not include some people acting as guards of their homes.
Andi also needs to think about a day off for his guards. If any bodyguards are off, then he needs to find someone else to replace them right?
“Thirty people for now. Can your uncle find me that many people?” Ask Andi to make sure.
Thirty people is enough for now. If it's less later, Andi can find new people again, right?
“Thirty? What do so many people do? Do you want to create a mafia group?”
“Of course not. If I were to create a mafia group, I would definitely be removed from the family line-up. I wouldn't do that.”
Andi still remembers that Burhan was removed from the family line-up because he became a thug, right? So, Andi doesn't want to be like Burhan. After all, for Andi halal money is still easy to find. Why choose illegal money.
“Do you know, their payment is not cheap. I mean, they're not paid in rupiah but already in dollars. At least in one month the cheapest fee a bodyguard pays is eight thousand dollars. If it is converted into rupiah their monthly payment is one hundred and twelve million rupiah a month.”
“Are you willing to pay them that much? Thirty people a month is still three billion more, almost four billion. That's not a little money.” Brian tried to remind Andi.
Three to four billion? It can be obtained just by breathing in a day. That money is nothing to Andi.
“No problem for me. I can still afford all that. So don't worry about whether I can pay them or not. As long as they fit the criteria, whatever payment they ask for, I will give you.”
“Indeed, what criteria do you want?
“I know that most likely the bodyguards who come from abroad have the ability to use firearms. But, you know for yourself that in this country it is quite difficult to get a license of ownership of firearms.”
“So, I want them to have the ability to fight barehanded. If necessary, I will test them directly. If they get away, then I'll hire them otherwise I'll look for the others.”
Andi does not know whether there are thugs in this country who have firearms or not. If you have it, it must be a little. So, the fight of his guards with the thugs was most likely a bare-handed fight.
If Andi had an illegal weapon, it was very dangerous for him. His cintra in law enforcement would be labeled bad. If so, they will always keep an eye on Andi's movements. Maybe it will attract attention that Andi does not want.
Better find Andi safe. Firearms would not be the main weapon if he was in this country. Maybe if he later expanded his business abroad, then Andi will arm his bodyguards with firearms.
“It was a little difficult Andi. I mean, how do you test them? If you want to test them, then you need to come directly to Uncle Roy's place at Spayol.” Obviously Brian.
Brian's words have a point. If Andi wants to test his bodyguards, then chances are they come to Andi or Andi who comes to them. However, from Brian's words just now, it seemed like the guards could not come here.
“Can't they come here?” Ask Andi. Who knows, the bodyguards can come here and Andi can do the test here.
“Cannot. Someone tried it once but Uncle Roy wouldn't. If you really intend to test Uncle Roy's men, then you need to come to his headquarters in Spayol.”
Andi then tried to remember his schedule. Tomorrow he will sign a contract with the Son. Then, he needs to return to Surabaya to discuss the acquisition plan of Lukman's company. So, Andi is difficult to find free time to be able to go abroad.
The schedule can be said to be quite solid. However, finding a bodyguard for his family must be done as soon as possible. He can't delay it for too long.
‘Maybe I can go abroad after signing a contract with Son. For any other business, I'll have my men do it.’
“Tuesday I'll go there. Try contacting your uncle about my arrival.” Andi.
“True you will come there?”
“Yes, I desperately need a bodyguard as soon as possible so I want to go there and test those bodyguards.”
“Then, I'm coming with you. I haven't been to Uncle Roy in a long time. We leave Wednesday alone. I need to prepare some things.”
“Good. I'll do it too. There are some things I need to prepare as well. Let me buy this ticket for our trip. So, you don't need to book a ticket.”
After this Andi will call Sinta. He will ask his assistant to take care of his passport and visa for him and Brian. Then, he will ask Sinta to book a first class flight to Spayol.
“If you want to buy me a ticket, no problem for me. Ah yes this week all our cafes in Surabaya have been renovated. We can open it at the end of this week or early next month.”
Looks like it's time Andi assigned someone to take care of his cafes. Andi has a lot of activity now. So, it was impossible for him to take care of his business on that one.
“Alright I'll tell my mom that she takes care of everything. But, it looks like a new cafe opening we can do after we get home from Spayol.”
Andi intends to give up all his cafe business to his mother. If so, then his mother would often travel to Surabaya and their city. If his mother goes out of town, his sisters will have no one to watch. Therefore Andi can only open his cafe after his return from Spayol.
‘Hem…. Did I just move my family? Isn't Arfan going to Junior High next semester? And Amira's in a couple of months already in class. Doesn't matter if he moved too?’ Andi murmured in the heart.
However, after some thought it would be difficult for Andi to ask her parents to move out of town. His father chose to live in their city now and did not follow in the footsteps of his brothers wandering because he wanted to live closer to Grandpa Haryanto. It would be difficult to persuade her parents to move.
“By the way about our cafe business, do you really want to buy all my shares in our business?” Ask Brian.
“Yes I want to do it. Indeed now the Young Lords of that large family had not done anything. That's because our business isn't open yet. If our business is open later, surely they will start attacking.”
“I don't want them to also attack you knowing that you are also the owner of that cafe.”
“Try thinking once more. I don't want to just let go of our cooperation.”
Andi was silent for a moment, he tried to find a solution to this problem. “Alright then sell me the building that is made as a cafe in our city. That way, the fact that you are another owner of this business will not be known to them.”
“OK I will sell it to you as long as you do not buy my shares.”
