"Yes? How is it, Gatot?" Aji asked as he puffed on a genuine Cuban cigar that was very expensive because it was sent directly from Cuba.
"Well, Mr. Aji. I found an unpolished pearl in our company," replied Gatot with his face still beaming.
"What do you mean, you?"
"I found a stockbroker who may have been in the company for a long time, but he was never given the opportunity to become a broker in our company and it was only today that I tested his skills and his skills are very good. Far exceeds the abilities of all the brokers I have tested in this company, sir."
"Really?" Aji became very interested. Because for Aji, when it comes to benefits, then Aji will be very happy.
"Here are the proofs, sir." Gatot opened his two laptops and showed the results of the stock purchases made by Ken today in his two accounts.
While showing his two laptops, Gatot carefully explained what had happened earlier. Starting from when Ken started buying shares, the time that passed, to the significant increase in the price of the shares Ken bought.
Gatot also explained about the stock purchases Ken made on the second laptop and on the second account with the result that the price rose even more than before.
Aji was very surprised when listening to this narrative from Gatot. "Wow... this is really very great. He really is an unpolished pearl. Who is he? Is he a junior broker who didn't get a chance before or what?"
"You won't believe it, Mr. Aji. When I tell you, where this person's job position is now, or where he was in the past year."
"You mean, he has this great ability, but in this one year period, he was never given the opportunity to become a stockbroker. Is that what you mean?" asked Aji curiously.
"Yes, Mr. Aji, for the past year, this person has been working at a very low level and he has never been given a chance to show his abilities. Fortunately, with my keen sense of smell, I managed to find him," Gatot tried to raise himself in front of Aji.
"So you found him?"
"Yes, Mr. Aji. With my skills as a good scout, I've been nurturing his talent for a long time, until today, I think he's ready to become a stockbroker." Gatot deliberately created the impression as if he was the one who molded Ken's abilities, even though it was only today that he discovered Ken.
"You're great, Gatot. It's not for nothing that I trust you to test every new stockbroker who comes in. Even though when you worked in the stock market, your work was nothing special and even tended to hurt the company, you were able to become a mentor for young stockbrokers."
"Yes, sir."
"And today, you proved your worth."
"Thank you, sir. We are very, very lucky that I managed to find him. He will bring huge profits to our company, sir," said Gatot.
"I'm still curious. Was he in administration or sales before this, looking for investors for the brokers? Is he from there? How was it? Is it one of them?"
"This is what is surprising, Mr. Aji. He didn't come from administration and he didn't come from sales. The position he's in is a far cry from that of a stockbroker, sir."
"What do you mean? So where exactly was he in our company before you found him?"
"This is really surprising, Mr. Aji, because before this, he was in a very low position and really low. So it was difficult to detect. Fortunately, my extraordinary sense of smell allowed me to find him." Gatot raised himself again.
"You're great, Gatot. You're great." Aji gave Gatot a thumbs up.
"That's why, sir. Before it's too late, I propose that we give him a contract as a stock trader before our rival company recognizes his talent."
Aji nodded. "Okay, then, with his abilities like that, immediately recruit him to become a stockbroker. Tomorrow morning, he will already be working as a stockbroker in my company."
"Thank you, Mr. Aji. Thank you. I will tell him this immediately. I will immediately propose a contract to her because we really have to secure her signature so that her ability is not smelled by our rival companies, so that our competitors can take her. because she is an unpolished pearl, when she is polished, she will become very big. He will be very shiny."
"Yes. You're right, Gatot."
"Oh, yes. Without my keen observation, we wouldn't have found it. So... hehehe." Gatot tried to remind Aji of his services in order to be rewarded.
Gatot's face continued to look at Aji expectantly, hoping that Aji would understand the meaning of his words. Gatot hoped that he would get at least a raise for his services.
"Okay. I'll raise your salary because you've done a good job. Offer the contract to that person as soon as possible, so that like you said earlier, no other company will come to take it."
"Yes sir, I'll do it right away." Gatot laughed happily because he was going on pilgrimage. He immediately grabbed his two laptops in front of Aji but Aji immediately restrained his hands.
"Leave this laptop here first, I want to analyze its greatness."
"Yes, Mr. Aji. Gatot immediately removed his hands from the laptops and headed towards the exit from this room.
"Wait a minute. You haven't said which department he's from, because if he's not from administration and sales, then that means he's from accounting, HR or promotions. Was my guess right?"
"Wrong again, Mr. Aji. She's not from those departments, because she's from a department that would only make you laugh if you knew about it."
"Which part is she from? Tell me quickly, don't make me curious."
Gatot laughed and then he said, "He comes from the cleaning service, sir. Try to imagine someone who has the talent of an extraordinary trader coming from the cleaning service."
Aji laughed along with Gatot, but then, his face changed. He seemed to check his cell phone and then asked, "is that person named Ken?"
"This person is indeed named Ken, sir. How did you know?"
Aji's face, which was previously joyous and had been laughing with Gatot, was now immediately somber. Then he said, "I take back what I said earlier. He cannot be a stockbroker in my company."
Aji's words made Gatot very surprised. "What's going on, sir? Why can't he be a broker in our company if his abilities are so great like that?"
