Promises From the Past

12 %

After a full 12 Dirgan attempted to contact all contacts of the shareholders and tried to convince them to believe, that he would be able to realign the company.

Most of them still hold on and believe in him, whereas for some, they are unsure of Dirgan's abilities. So they choose to sell the stock before its value falls to the brink of bankruptcy.

Of course, there are many factors that cause the destruction of companies due to the value of their shares to fall. It was Competition, lack of resources, dollar exchange rate, controversial news, mafia shares and also public trust.

What the Mavendra family company is experiencing is the emergence of news about the ugliness of the Mavendra family that is hidden from the public.

This makes public trust, investor confidence and business partner confidence change, so they choose to step down.

But the barrage of events is not over, as the change in confidence makes one after another sell the shares they own and result in a decline in the value of shares in Mavendra company.

If the percentage decline in the value of the stock reaches 40% then that's when the bankruptcy of the Mavendra company really happened, because no longer investors entrusted their money to this company.

Dirgan sat tired with heavy breathing after hanging up the last phone call.

"Excuse me Boss..." The voice of a beautiful woman knocking on the door.

"Just go inside, Ernie." Answer Dirgan.

It was Dirgan's private secretary who was always in charge of preparing everything from his orders. He carried several sheets of paper documents with many drawings of lines and numbers.

"Boss, I brought the results of the last report from the stock exchange that we have, the decline in value in Mavendra company at the lowest point reached 18% and now again rose as much as 13%, already more than 34 investors are taking off their shares and there are 3 new investors coming." Ernie put the paper on the table.

"Ah that's how..." Answer me casually.

But it's confusing Ernie..."Why does the boss look so calm."

"I think it's going to get worse, but the results are still better, because the stock's value of 18% is the worst in the last fifteen years and we can still get things back." Little Dirgan smiled to herself.

Ernie did not feel that his boss's attitude was strange, because he had worked as Dirgan's personal assistant for five years since graduating from college.

Depiction of a relaxed but firm character, good to employees but consistent in work, even occasionally angry but with the right reasons.

"But there's a weird boss." Ernie.

"What kind of weird do you mean ?."

"In the last report, this hour, there were three companies that bought our shares, and one of them with a large enough number, so that the percentage value began to stabilize and slowly rise again." Answer it while pointing to a report.

"Who's the company." Ask Dirgan who is still lazy to read the report.

"Termma Lungung group." The answer.

"How much."

"Currently Terma Lungung group owns 12% shares in our company."

"That's a lot, even if it has to be converted to rupiah it's almost close to a trillion." Reply Dirgan.

Seriously enough Dirgan think of the company Terma Lungung group, where the number of shares 12% they have suddenly, means they are trying to dominate and try to take over.

Even to take over Mavendra, they must own more than 50% percent of the shares in total.

"But if the Terma Lungung group wants to take over it will be very difficult, because it is impossible for any one person in the Mavendra family to give up their shares." Said Dirgan with his own perception.

"Do we need to find out about their boss's goals ?."

Smile and answer ... "That's not necessary, let me alone talk directly to the CEO of Terma Lungung group.... If it's not wrong, it's an Agra family-owned company and they were on the verge of bankruptcy two years ago."

Ernie opened a tablet PC that became a means for him to work and find information about the Terma Lungung group.

"Now no longer the boss, the ownership of the Terma Lungung group is in the hands of others."

"Hmmm, who are they ?."

"The Agra family owns only 30% of the shares in the Terma Lungung group, while more than 60% of the shares belong to the Cortez family." Ernie answered the data from inside her tablet PC.

"Unfortunately, those on the brink of bankruptcy were able to climb back up and start dominating the property trade in some countries, apparently all because of the power of the Cortez family, it's not strange." Dirgan's laughter grew louder.

"Well, just send them a message, if I make an appointment to meet."

"Good boss."

After all the reports were relayed by Ernie, he came out of Dirgan's room.

Dirgan feels tired for everything that happened today, in seven hours, her fight to save the Mavendra family business from the brink of bankruptcy, but Dirgan feels that she just did something useless.

If you really want to see the Mavendra company go bankrupt, it would be easier if Dirgan let the investors go and the company is short of funds.

Dirgan's goal is not to commit suicide or enrich Mavendra family members, but he is risking the source of income from the thousands of employees who work in his place.

A phone call suddenly went in on Dirgan's phone, as he had guessed, if it came from his own brother.

Feeling lazy but he couldn't ignore..."Hello uncle ?."

[Why did you solve the news about our family.]

"I haven't done it yet, I'm too busy with other issues, because there are a lot of investors taking off their shares and I have to be able to control this complicated situation."

[Alright, but you have to be quick, if this continues, then put where my face is.]

'Didn't you still have a pan*tat to mirror, so what that wrinkled face is for, throw it away.'

That's what Dirgan wanted to say to his uncle, but it sounded like an insult so Dirgan couldn't possibly speak disrespectfully.

"Okay uncle, I'll sort it out soon, because after all the news is a source of trouble in Mavendra's company as well."

[I am waiting for the good news.]

"Of course uncle."

After the phone call ended, Dirgan slammed the phone hand to pieces. He had refrained from being polite, but with the demands of his brothers, Dirgan was insulted.

"You just want the good news, sometimes you get the bad news you made yourself."

From outside the room, of course, all employees can hear the loud voice of Dirgan who is angry.

Unbeknownst to Dirgan two employees began whispering to each other.

"Unusually, the boss is angry, even though the boss always talk politely to anyone."

"You don't know, Dirgan's boss is always mad about one thing."

"What is that..."

"If the boss gets into trouble about his brothers who always do as good as he can."

"Aah so."

"I feel sorry for the boss when he's a good guy, but his brothers' behavior is always a source of trouble."

As soon as the door opened, Dirgan's figure appeared and the two whispering people were silent on the spot.

"Good night boss." Said one person smiling with a respectful bow.

Dirgan returned a smile from the employee..."It's past the office hours, why are you two still here."

"Just finish the file, boss... A little more done."

"Then, I go first, you two don't go home too late, it's not good for health." Said Dirgan away.

"Good boss."

Being kind to subordinates is not wrong, because the company will not run without employees. So Dirgan pay respect to those who dedicate themselves because they have made work diligently.
