Right at nine this morning, the district expo has officially opened. Along with the news of a new type of coronavirus, which began to spread in Wuhan, China.

Actually it has been since three days ago, visitors came to change. Though the expo participants are still preparing their respective stands. Including stands owned by PT.PRAM.

Just laid out, there are many who take pictures or take selfies. Especially because there is another sofa set from most sofas. Not yet finished being assembled, Budi's sofa has become the talk of the virtual world.

Yes, Budi sofa became one of the three selected sofas for the acquisition of PT.PRAM, and displayed at the district expo. All that will be brought to Berlin.

Paul said, not because Budi is the leader of this expo team, but more because of the unusual design idea of Budi sofa.

Once you see, Mr. Paul was immediately amazed at the design of the sofa. And of course, in view of all the parameters of the assessment, objectively, Budi sofa was ranked the highest in that selection.

Although being the center of attention, does not make Budi high-hearted. He remains focused on his task. Coordinate his friends who served in the Stand, to be friendly and responsive to every visitor. Mr. Paul who came with Erika had praised the performance of Budi and friends.

This half alone, there were already several letters of intent they had obtained. Two of them even immediately move quickly by submitting a visit to the factory directly. And it's definitely approved. Some simple units that are affordable are also sold directly in the stand. Make Budi must request delivery of stock from the factory.

The more time the more visitors come. The area of three stands at once is until it does not fit the number of visitors. Many of them are actually just curious about the sofa post with the theme of sea monsters belonging to Budi.

Budi always reminds his colleagues to always be friendly to visitors. Even if they just want to take a picture.

Even if they do not buy, they are responsible for spreading information about their products.

In other words, they advertise their products without them knowing. And that is a distinct advantage for them. Moreover, with the typical PT.PRAM uniform, there is no need for writing anymore. For the citizens of this city, must immediately understand, where to look for the product if you want to get it.

Towards dzuhur, then the crowded atmosphere is reduced. The employees who served in this stand can rest a little. They talked and joked, commenting on funny events from the morning.

Tuck the words of encouragement to his team. So many items sold new on this first day, is a feat in itself. And with new innovations from the marketing team, which cooperates with leasing, Budi estimates there will be more goods sold.

They also commented on the news in various media, about the latest developments regarding new types of viruses originating from wuhan, China. The virus, which is said to be similar to sars, has spread very quickly in wuhan. The speed of transmission of this new virus is putting the whole world on alert.

“Baper now, you guys are friendly gini” chirped Hilda.

“Yes, bener” timpal Farah.

“Taste of the world belongs to both” chirps the other.

“Loh, are you open?” ask Budi.

“Kan open stand in front”

“Stand? Where?”

“Sit down first, gih! Abram kelarin first briefing” said Budi.

“OK”

Go back to his friends line. Continuing the briefing that was cut earlier by holding the soto giving Adel.

After the briefing, it turns out that Budi can not directly eat. Farah asked him for another briefing. Especially about finances and funding schemes. Long enough they briefing, until Adel had played his phone.

“HOE. WHAT-WHAT-EVER?”

A shout from the direction of the street shocked them. Both of them stood up and turned right.

“Nduk? You here?”

It turned out that the one who shouted earlier was Mr. Fajar. There's Susi's mom next to her, and Madina next to her.

“DO NOT HAPHAZARDLY YOU. THIS SOFA IS GOING TO BE SENT TO EUROPE. PLAY SIT DOWN. IF THE SHAMPOO IS BROKEN, CAN YOU REPLACE IT, HA?” Hardik sir Fajar again.

“Mbak Farah's. Please tell this kid, don't try to touch my couch! This is an exhibition to Europe. Don't take him carelessly” said Mr. Fajar complaining.

“Good, sir Fajar” replied Farah.

“Budd. Berlin problems. Ratna wants to talk” Farah told Budi. He gave me his phone.

“Oke” reply Budi. He went to the back stand.

“Pardon Budi, Mr. Dawn. He had absolutely no intention at all to damage the exhibition goods. He is a part of us. And he knows very well how high the quality we have to keep. The decline in the quality of goods means losses for us as well. So that can't happen, sir. We must also remind each other, Farah said with a smile.

“Gaes. You guys need to see this gaes. Attention for all of us” exclaimed Budi.

He emerged from behind the stand. This time it's not Farah's phone, it's her laptop. He tried to connect his laptop with a large LCD TV hanging in the frame stand as a background. The attention of Mr. Fajar and the others was on him.

“Ratna, how are you?” hilda exclaimed, as soon as the big screen displayed the figure of Ratna.

“Hilda. Okay, Da. It's cold to know, here”

“Yes if hot is not berlin, kongo” says one of the boy friends next to Hilda.

“OK. Everyone has gathered. Continue, Na!” budi's Order.

“OK, mas” replied Ratna.

“Gini. We have a problem with the expedition. The main plan or plan A, already fixed we can not walk. Just now we got word if there is a super large cargo container ship, sinking. Karamnya because it had run aground, but still had time to go. So the hull is the same as the sand and rocks on the bottom of the sea, which is shallow. So the port is absolutely unable to enter. Make the evacuation of the ship, can take two months. So for sure, we can not maxain using plan A. we already have to switch to plan B”

Stopping here, Ratna got a variety of comments from colleagues on the stand. Even though it's just like muttering, and whispering to each other.

“Create Budi mas and mbak Farah. Plan B also takes time. So if you can immediately install packing and eximnya” business continued Ratna.

“Oke” replied Farah half exclaimed.

“One more problem. As you can see, here is a broad reduction of the booth. So, if calculated, we must sacrifice a set of furniture from wood. So, for Farah, maybe you can immediately choose which one of the champions two and the champion three will be brought. I see both are equally good, sih” continued Ratna again.

“That's right sir chairman, Na” exclaims Farah.

“Oh, okay” replied Ratna.

“Mas Budi, our time is limited, mas. Please decide to”, continued Ratna.

“OK. The dimensions are similar. So, a mystery box! Does it belong to you, what the other one” replied Budi.

“Aduh. Ha ha ha” Ratna's response while patting her eel.

The colleagues who served on the stand issued comments to each other. Some are serious but also a lot of funny. To be sure, everyone laughed, except for Mr. Dawn.

His face looked tense. The person he had just snapped, turned out to be the most decisive person. Bu Lusi stroked the shoulders of Mr. Fajar. She knew her husband was surprised.

“OK. situation for all of us just two it's. The things about the principal and the documents, I was WA, mas. Maybe we can continue in the group aja” Ratna said.

“OK. I learned it first, yeah. Later I respons” replied Budi.
