“Indeed, what business do you want to make?” Ask Andi. If the business idea from Widya is good Andi intends to invest some of his money. This could also Andi do to test Widya and her family.
Widya was quite surprised to hear Andi say that. He did not expect Andi to take the initiative to invest in him. Is this a chance for his family to work with Andi?
If so, Widya must try hard to make Andi invest his money in his business. That way, the path of cooperation between Andi and the Jayantaka family will be open. His family would be happy if he gave them news of this.
“I want cosmetic business. Back when I was on vacation in Milan with Ms. Gayatri, I found a cosmetics store that allowed their customers to make their own cosmetics. I tried to make two lipsticks at the store. The result I think is amazing.”
“So, after returning from Milan, I tried to figure out how to make cosmetics. I spent some of my money buying ingredients and making cosmetics. Now, since my family has given me the green light to open my own business, I plan to move in cosmetics.” Widya.
Hearing that, Andi was quite interested. Among all his businesses and his cousin's business, there is not a single company engaged in the field of beauty. Andi is interested in investing his money in Widya's business. Counting adds to his company collection.
Andi does not care whether it will sell out loud or not. If there is less sales, everything can be helped by massive promotions. The most important thing is the quality of the product. Profits can be obtained later.
“So you want to make a cosmetics company Wid. Is the lipstick you made the same lipstick you gave my mom?” Ask Arya.
“Yes. The one I gave Aunt Mila was my own lipstick.”
“Iku once said that your lipstick has a good color. I believe in the reviews from my mother who was a lot of lipstick collector. So, I will also invest my money in your business.”
“Right now all I can invest in you is ten billion. That's the maximum value of my liquid fund. Later, if your business is better, when the dividend distribution of my family's company liquid, I will increase my investment.” Arya.
“Wah thanks Mas Arya for believing in me and investing that much money. Mas Arya take it easy, Mas Arya's money will be used as well as possible. I will give a lot of advantages to Mas Arya.”
With the investment from Arya, Widya believes she can start her business. If later less, Widya will seduce his grandfather to be able to get a loan as additional capital.
“Is that capital enough?” Andi asked suddenly.
“I mean, if you really intend to start a cosmetics company, all for a big one. I think that kind of money will be less to make a company that can market lipstick to the entire archipelago.”
“According to my rough calculations, ten billion is just enough to rent a factory and buy some machines for lipstick manufacture. However, you will be short of money to buy raw materials for making lipstick. Not to mention you need to think about the marketing costs later.”
Hearing the analysis from Andi, the pleasure Widya had just obtained, evaporated. Andi was like pouring cold water on him. It made Widya realize that investment money from Arya was still lacking for her to start a large-scale business.
If Widya makes her business on a small scale, it can't either. It will prolong itself to gain profit. The capital that has been invested will be a longer return.
The target markets Widya wants to achieve are those in the lower middle class. Because the number of people in Indonesia in these circles is very much. That way, the target market is bigger.
That means later Widya will market her lipstick ranging from sixty thousand to two hundred thousand. With such a price, Widya needs to make his business on a large scale to meet market demand.
“So, what's your solution about this?” Ask Arya.
Arya is sure Andi said like that not with the aim of numbing Widya's confidence. That young man must have had a reason to say so. Although not too long know each other, Arya sure Andi is not a person with a sharp tongue.
“Of course I will also add your capital Wid. Didn't I tell you I'd invest in you. But I can only invest one billion dollars in your business. That is the whole result I got from investing all this time.”
“So you should really manage that money well.” Said Andi in a slightly witty tone, trying to joke around with Widya.
“If it's the same, right? That's still less.” Aryan.
Widya thought, Andi will invest several tens of billions in him, or if not that big, dozens of billions are also good enough. But Andi apparently only invested a billion in him, and that is all the money that Andi has.
Was what his grandfather told him about Andi's identity just a lie? Otherwise, why would Andi, who was said to be able to advance their family, only invest one billion?
Didn't his grandfather also say that for Andi who is the Successor, money is considered like water that flows easily?
“Wait a minute I haven't finished talking. Of course, my investment won't change things. However, I can recommend Widya to PT. The Nation Children Dream Fund. It was an investment company that recently stood.”
“The company is now heavily investing in young people who have business ideas. I'm sure if you send a proposal there, they'll fund your business Wid.”
“Tens of billions, hundreds of billions, no problem for them. As long as your business can provide benefits they will definitely want to invest. Where do you think I can be this successful if no one else funds?”
“Of course because I sent a proposal to that company when they were just standing.” Obviously Andi.
There's a reason for Andi to do this. He wanted to test Widya and her family. However, Andi did not want to invest large amounts of money in his name. Better that money comes from his investment company.
What Andi is doing is the same. The investment company is his. The shares purchased by the investment company will also be owned.
In this way, it will eliminate Widya or her family's suspicion about the origin of Andi's money. However, it is quite easy for the Jayantaka family to investigate Andi's background and her family.
The Jayantaka family will surely know that not long ago he was just an ordinary young man who had nothing. If Andi invests in large amounts, they will suspect the origin of the money.
So, Andi threw all the causes of his current situation to his investment company. The Jayantaka family will never know who owns the company. The collateral about it is quite guarded in this country. All they can know is who is the manager of the company.
…
Hearing Andi's words, Widya squinted her eyes. He then tried to remember the name of the investment company. Widya needs to report this to her Grandfather. It is possible that the company belongs to Andi.
If this is true, it means Andi prefers to work behind the scenes and does not reproduce cooperation directly. This is good news for them. Directly or not, it was still a cooperation with Andi. So this is very useful information for the Jayantaka family.
“Good. I'll make a proposal to them.” Widya.
“For now, it is better that you do your company registration first. Only later after getting funds from the investment company, you can start everything.”
The three then went back to discussing in detail. However, they are still at Satrio's birthday party. There are many others who can hear their words.
Although what they discussed now was not something that should be kept secret, but it was better for now that no one else knew of this cooperation. It was enough that the three of them and their families only knew about this.
“Alright, I've pustrated our product name to AWA. It stands for the first name of the three of us as the founders of this company.” Widya.
“Now, we have to process everything. Company registration, purchase of all its tools, and of course recruit its workers.”
“Packaging also do not miss, we need to think about color for packaging. That way, when people see cosmetic products with color packaging, they will immediately think of our products.” Andi.
“Sure, I'll think of all that.” Answer Widya.
“Alright, everything is done. Now we'll just enjoy the party. I see the food will be served soon. So, we better join the others.” Aryan.
