Kartika Family

Kartika Family

The day coincided with Friday, February 13, 1995.

the rain of that day fell profusely in the city of The Hague, with which I was born in this world.

oeek..,eekk...,eek....!!

the sound of my loud cry seemed to break and defeat the sound of rain that night and make anyone in the hospital hallway must feel the happiness of our family.

a perfect beautiful baby girl was born into this world, thus making our big family life more complete and beautiful.

" save good sir..!!"

" save good sir...!!"

welcome from all walks of life, the heir to the throne of the Kartika family has come to meet the expectations of leaders working behind the scenes.

but that beautiful happiness must soon be dashed when my mother began to become sickly, right after she soon gave birth to me into this world.

uhuk..., uhuk....uhuk....!!

my mother's cough was heard in her room in the Kartika family mansion, my father lovingly held my mother's hand.

" lady....?!" call my mother while smiling looking at the father who began to shed tears.

" keep our son..!?"

" don't let anyone hurt our child..!?" exclaimed my mother while looking at where my swing was.

" of course it's hany...!!" my father could only look at my mother's face while kissing her forehead gently.

" don't leave me alone...!!"

😢

my father tried at all costs to keep his beloved wife from leaving us both forever.

" how is doc...??" asked my father with great concern at the famous hospital.The doctor could only shake his head sign could not bear it anymore.

feeling that everything my father had worked for but did not meet significant results on my mother's health, my father became stressed and sometimes made his emotions unstable.

while trying to find the right alternative treatment for my mother's disease, my father also carried out his duties as the replacement leader of the Kartika family.

but my father's efforts were free when the best doctors in the world began to give in to the circumstances that my mother suffered and there was no doctor who could help my mother.

only thousands of words of apology were thrown from the mouths of the best doctors, they had suggested that we leave everything to the power.

exactly six months after I was born in this world, my mother left us both forever.

sadness was clearly on the faces of the members and board members of the Kartika family, the night became the darkest night of our extended family.

I who do not know anything can only cry as it happens. whereas my father was so devastated by the passing of his mother, that he could only cry and grieve all day.

...* * *...

as time went on I grew into a tough, smart, opportunistic child.

I am not a spoiled child like a princess, who if asked for something will be obeyed easily.

although the Kartika family belongs to the super power family.

yupz..

quite right..

I'll tell you a little about the Kartika family.

the Kartika family is one of the most prominent families in our country, but it is only on the surface.

much deeper, the Kartika family is one of the 5 ruling families of the world.

Our family can be aligned with the Rockefeller family, the Rothschilds, the Morgans family, even the Al-Saud dynasty in the Arabian Peninsula.

why is our family so respected in the shadows??

we flashback first to the colonial era of the Dutch kingdom and the VOC.

...* * *...

I started with my great-grandfather's story.

my great-grandfather was a fairly well-respected landlord around Sunda kelp (Jakarta now).

he is classified as a person who is observant and careful in seeing opportunities, at a young age he already has a lot of land and connections around the archipelago.

not so long ago, many traders from Europe began to arrive to Sunda coconut (Jakarta now).

seeing the great opportunity, he began to make friends and make good use of the influence of traders from Europe, and offered to be a liaison with the kings around the archipelago.

yep..

we studied history a little bit.

that's because in that century the Europeans are aggressively exploring the world, the,

this was due to the drive to find the source of spices and to generate interest in exploring the world among Europeans.

why is spice a prima donna among the people of Europe??

it was because the need for spices throughout Europe increased drastically, so the price of spices in Europe was almost equivalent to the price of gold at that time.

chambers of commerce were formed in cities across Europe.

chambers of commerce formed in various European cities competed to finance expeditions in search of spices that flourished in the eastern hemisphere.

as time goes by the nations of Europe scramble to get spices from our archipelago.

thus causing many casualties that fall among the Europeans.

although with difficulty and not easy, eventually the Dutch traders and the kingdom controlled almost the majority of the spice trade throughout the archipelago.

even the strategic trading port port was successfully controlled by the Dutch kingdom.

although the Dutch kingdom had controlled and monopolized the spice trade throughout Europe, there was friction and conflict among traders from the Netherlands itself.

price competition occurred among traders from the Netherlands itself, so the price of spices in Europe became volatile and uncontrolled.

that opportunity made my great-grandfather and his best friend Johan Van Oldenbalveldt took the initiative to bring together and unite trade partners in the Netherlands.

the six largest trading partners are from Amsterdam, Zeeland, Delft, Rotterdam, Hoorn, and Enkhuizen.

but not all agreed with the unification and fusion, especially the representatives of Zeeland.

they were too suspicious of the dominance of the trading house from Amsterdam, but thanks to the intervention of Prince Maurits, finally the chamber of commerce was willing to unite and agreed to form the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindishce Compagnie)

the central chamber of commerce is headed by a board of trustees consisting of seventeen emissaries from the six chambers of commerce that have been melted down before.

those leaders were known as Heeren Zeventien or seventeen masters.

Not the Sunda Empire...

hehe...

😂

the company was a great success in the Dutch East Indies and its colonies, even so successful the company posted a fantastic profit, exceeding the company EIC (East India Company) which is a trading company from the country of Queen Elizabeth

the golden age of VOC companies did not last forever, rampant corruption and the cost of war that occurred throughout the archipelago made companies that had recorded profits, now gradually collapse and posted losses that were not small.

knowing that there will be bankruptcy in the company, the descendants of our grandfather began to change the direction of the company that the Kartika Family managed.

from the company engaged in banking is now an oil and gas company.

the expertise in seeing the gap made our family more known among European aristocrats and nobles, coincidentally at that time also black gold or petroleum became the new prima donna in the world.

entering the decade-long era of the late 1880s, the Kartika family and the Du Pont family worked together to produce dynamite for mining purposes which was also increasingly prevalent in North America.

not only for mining purposes, dynamite is also often used in various other aspects.

the Du Pont family and the Kartika family also provided about two million kilograms of gunpowder to Union Army troops during the American civil war.

The Kartika family and the Du Pont family were known to be involved in many important wars, providing large quantities of gunpowder.

we were not directly involved in the first world war, but managed to change quite a large direction of the ongoing war.

yep...

😁

some of you may feel that what our family did was unethical or wrong, but yes it is.

...💸business is still business..💸...

entering the post era after the second world war, many new countries emerged.

we Kartika family and five other influential families took the initiative to establish a central bank in almost all countries in the world.

by various tricks and intrigues we have virtually taken control of all governments and economies around the world and established a new world order.

now we Kartika family become one of the family of the world from behind the scenes.
