DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 68: A HUGE PROFIT

    It turns out that foreign buyers are not just foreign tourists who shop for souvenirs. Instead, he was shopping to be sold in his country. Simply put, people call import exports. Yes, buying goods from Indonesia to be brought to his country, in Europe. Because it turns out that foreigners who come to Jepara for furniture shopping carvings, or who to the store Jamil to buy brass crafts there are those from Germany, Spain and France.

    These foreigners are people who take advantage of the opportunity in chrismone, to buy goods from Indonesia at low prices. Of course because their currency exchange rates are much higher when compared to the rupiah. If one dollar can be exchanged for fifteen thousand rupiahs, then only by bringing one thousand dollars, they can get an exchange rate of fifteen million rupiahs. Of course with that much money he can buy goods in large quantities.

    That is why, when the chrismon of carving craft goods from Jepara directly driven by exporters, to be sent to Europe and America. Including those who get a massive purchase it is a brass craft produced by his company Jamil.

    As Jamil expected, the foreigners were willing to come to his outlet in order to see all the products produced. Because if you only see the goods brought, when to the boss carve in Jepara, it must be incomplete, incomplete. But if you can see at the outlet and in the warehouse, it must be very complete and very many types. Not only female accessories, but also home decorations and various other household furniture.

    Jamil's hopes have come true. After the prospective foreign buyers arrived at Jamil's place of business, they immediately looked happy. Now it's Mbak Ika's turn, the keeper of the brass craft outlet who must be busy removing his belongings. Definitely to show to prospective buyers.

    As ordered by the carving boss, Jamil asked Pak Jumari, the country's Junior High teacher, to interpret and translate, to help him, as well as helping to talk to prospective buyers who come from abroad. Therefore, now Mr. Jumari with Jamil accompanied the three foreign buyers.

    "Where are the other items?" ask the buyer.

    Mr. Jumari directly conveyed to Jamil, asking for other items. Jamil immediately showed the items in the warehouse.

    "It's in the warehouse.... Please have a look" said Mr. Jumari who immediately invited the buyers to follow Jamil who had gone to the storage of goods produced.

    "Only this much?" ask the prospective buyer to Mr. Jumari.

    "This is what's in the warehouse, the other items haven't been packed yet. Take a look at the stuff" said Mr. Jumari who explained that other items had not been packed. Then he showed it to the pile of goods that have not been packed.

    Of course the three strangers were happy to see quite a lot of stuff. And he was very interested in buying it. Then they immediately took the selected items.

    The employees were immediately busy helping the bulls, picking up brass craft items that were still piling up. Surely these employees are also happy, because if the goods are sold a lot, surely they will be paid.

    "I want to buy these items. But I ask for things to be packed in nice cardboard boxes. Because this I will send to my country" said the bule asked that the packaging of goods is good because it will be sent to his country.

    "No problem, we'll pack it in a safe box" said Mr. Jumari who is certainly very convincing.

    "OK, I agree ..." said the bule agreed.

    "All right, please have a seat in the living room. We will calculate the price" said Mr. Jumari who invited his guests to sit in the living room, while waiting for the calculation of the price to be paid.

    "What, Mr Jumari?" ask Jamil who does not know anything that was discussed by the people earlier.

    "These buyers have chosen the goods, but ask to be packed in a good box, so as not to be damaged when brought to his country" said Mr. Jumari to Jamil.

    "Of course, Mr .... We will pack with thick cardboard." replied Jamil who immediately told his employees to help Ma'am Sri do the pollution. Jamil also told Mbak Ika to calculate the amount of goods and the price.

    At the guest table, mineral water drinks and wedang cemuoi have been prepared, Juwana-style drinks, and snacks. Of course to wait for time.

    Mr. Jumari who accompanied in the living room invited a conversation. Although not as smart as the western people, but at least Pak Jumari knows the intent spoken by his guests, and can also answer or explain. At least Mr. Jumari can know the origin of the foreign guests.

    Now the busy is Mbak Ika, who must type the names of the items chosen by the buyer into the counting device, enter the price one by one, and calculate the number of items. Later there will appear the amount of money to be paid. The cash register was pretty good at the time.

    But no less busy is Mbak Sri and all other employees, who have to work quickly to pack the purchased items into cardboard. Lucky cardboard and plastic old boss's air cushioning remains are still pretty much plentiful.

    Jamil arranged the employees, especially in the packing. He makes sure that the goods wrapped in cardboard are in a good and correct position. And of course, for the packing to be taken abroad it must be wrapped with plastic air cushion. Of course, so that the packaged goods do not move and are safe. And after the small items are packed, then arranged into a large cardboard box. Then outside the cardboard box is written the name of the item and the amount.

    Then Jamil arranged for his employees to lift and arrange in the box car that will later be taken to Jepara, where the foreign buyers live temporarily. Of course must be careful and neatly arranged, so that later in the journey is not damaged. Jamil who has taken part in delivering goods when he was an employee first, of course now can arrange goods well and quickly. What is certain is that his experiences can be used as useful science.

    Finally, until the sun goes west, all the goods purchased by the stranger was finished put into a box car ready to go to deliver.

    "Mas Tarno sama Soleh, plus one lagim person who wants to come, will immediately deliver this item to Jepara, to the customer stopover rimah." said Jamil who asked Mas Tarno and Soleh to deliver the goods.

    "Yes, Sir .... Ready ..." replied the driver of the box.

    "Be careful, don't let the stuff go haywire .... Later customers can be angry ..." message Jamil.

    "Yes, sir .." replied Mas Tarno who would definitely do a good job.

    "This, Mr .... Details of the goods and the amount of the price." said Mbak Ika who handed over the purchase note paper, there are several sheets in number. Of course for Mbak Ika, this was the biggest purchase of goods as long as he worked on the brass craft. Not only the amount of goods that are many, even the amount of money is also very large.

    "Yes, Ma'am Ika .... Thank you." Thank you." Jamil said who received the order details.

    Of course Jamil is confused, how to convey to the buyer. So he immediately attached to Pak Jumari, the English teacher.

    "Pak Jumari, here's the purchase note, how do I deliver?" jamil said to Mr. Jumari.

    "Here ..., I delivered ..." said Mr. Jumari while asking for a note.

    Then Mr. Jumari who already holds a note of purchase goods note said to three Caucasians who bought brass handicrafts belonging to Jamil.

    "Sir, here is the shopping receipt.... This is the name of the item and the quantity.... Here's the price. And .., this is the total price" said Mr. Jumari who delivered the note and explained the name of the goods as well as the price and the total amount to be paid.

    "OK .... How should I pay? Can I transfer the money?" ask the guy who received the note.

    Jumari turned to Jamil and asked, "Pay how? Can I transfer or pay cash?"

    "What is the transfer, Mr ...?" ask Jamil who does not understand about transfers.

    "The transfer of the payment is sent to the bank account .... Means the money goes directly into the account" said Mr. Jumari who explained about how to transfer payment.

    "God .... I don't have an account yet, Mr. Jumari .... Just pay cash, direct money" said Jamil who is still blind about banking.

    Then Mr. Jumari conveyed to the buyer, "Sir, he's the owner of the shop asking for payment in cash."

    "OK .... We will pay it in cash." said the bule, then one of them opened the bag from earlier on his lap. He spent money to pay for it. The money is still tied up with bank paper. It's all blue. Picture of Pak Harto mesem, the biggest money at that time. That pile of money was already put on the table.

    "This is the money, Mr. Jamil .... Please count ..." Jumari told Jamil.

    "Mr Ika .... Please the money is counted ...." Jamil dressing sent Ika, the young woman who served the sale.

    "Yes, sir .." replied Ika who went straight to the table, and counted the large pile of money.

    Ma'am Ika came to each hunchback, the number in each bond made of paper and there was a bank stamp there were a hundred sheets. So that each bond there is a total of five million rupiah. If the number listed on the note reaches almost one hundred million, it means that the bond of money there are twenty bendels.

    Of course to calculate the amount of money as much as the pile, if done by Mbak Ika alone will be very long. That is why in the bank to calculate money is enough done with a calculating machine. So Mr. Jumari immediately helped to calculate, so it was quickly finished.

    "It's an even number, sir .... This is nineteen bendels, and this one is one bendel minus ten pieces, the rest of the payment. So the total amount is ninety-nine million five hundred thousand rupiah. Here's the ten sheets I returned to the buyer." Said Mbak Ika who has been counting and assisted by Pak Jumari. Yes, a very large amount of money in those days, at least it can be used to buy two good cars.

    "There's still some money left in the payment" Mr. Jumari told the bile who held a bag of money for the payment earlier, while giving back the remaining money.

    "Ok, thank you. The rest of this money is for you, because it has helped us in communicating" said the man who received the change, but it was given directly to Mr. Jumari, as a thank you from the foreign buyers, for helping to talk.

    "Yes, Allah .... Maturnuwun yes, Allah .... Thank you sir .... Thank you sir .... Please come again ..." said Mr. Jumari while greeting the boules. Of course Mr. Jumari was very happy to be given five hundred thousand money. His payment of one month as a civil servant was only three hundred and eighty thousand. Therefore, Mr. Jumari was very happy and hoped that foreign buyers would come shopping again.

    After everything is done, the buyers from abroad say goodbye, and say when will come here again to buy more goods. And don't forget, they asked for the store's phone number.

    It was amazing that day. Jamil gets huge sustenance from the impact of chrismone. He made a huge profit. Likewise, Mr. Jumari, an English teacher who only accompanies foreigners shopping, can also be a tremendous rezaki. Not only from the Caucasian, Jamil also gave three pieces of coffee money to Pak Guru.

    Jamil is happy, can pay his employees. Not only pay less salary, but also give bonuses to its employees. Of course, the employees are also happy and more enthusiastic at work.

    "Pak Jamil ..., please immediately open a recining at the bank. To facilitate the process of buying and selling transactions ..." said Mr. Guru Jumari to Jamil, when he was leaving the place.

    "I am afraid that later this place of business will be seized by the bank again .." replied Jamil.

    "It confiscated the bank if it could not pay the debt .... Otherwise the debt is no problem .... Your money is safer and the transactions easier ..." said Mr. Jumari who had stepped home.
