Revenue slide, Wal-Mart Selling Firearms Soon

2011-04-29T19:41:00.000-07:00

Wal-Mart says it will immediately return the sale of firearms, including rifles and pistols, to more than 500 stores in the U.S..

Giant retailers stopped selling guns at hundreds of 3.600 stores in the U.S. in 2006, citing declining consumer demand.

But a spokesman said that the firearm be returned to the sales racks as part of an overall drive to return the product 8.000.

The news comes two months after Wal-Mart announced a reduction in per-seventh consecutive quarter in U.S. sales.

Wal-Mart will provide more merchandise in its stores in an effort to "offer customers the widest diversity of our products," said a spokesman Lorenzo Lopez.

He added that the firearm will be part of that encouragement, which he says has been planned for months.

"Several years ago we tried to streamline the diversity," said Lopez, referring to the decision in 2006 to reduce the supply of firearms in many Wal-Mart stores.

Wal-Mart currently sells rifles, pistols, and ammunition in about 1,000 locations in the U.S..

That will increase to half of his store under a change of 3.600 presented on Thursday (28 / 4).

Lopez said the Wal-Mart focus on areas where hunting and fishing are popular.

Sales of weapons that can be traced federal grow more than 12% in the first quarter of 2011. However, growth has mainly occurred on the gun, which is not sold by Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart reported its seventh monthly decline in sales at U.S. stores due to loss of customers who switch to their rivals with cheaper price.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, sales in the same stores fell 1.8% in the U.S., but the company benefited from strong overseas sales.

Wal-Mart set a net income of 2.6 billion dollars in the fourth quarter, up from 9.4 billion dollars a year earlier.

During the year 2010, Wal-Mart's net income was 17 billion dollars, up from 14.9 billion dollars in 2009.

Figures profit was driven by cost cutting and strong international sales, benefited from currency exchange rate movements.

The company is losing customers in the U.S. mainland to the shops "dollar" after changing the strategy of "everyday low prices" to be selective price cuts.

They also reduce the range of goods on offer, a decision which the company says they regret it so far.

Who are the real rich people?

2011-04-20T07:52:00.000-07:00

Who are the real rich people? They are not the ones who like to spend money on expensive items. Even many of those high income was the simple life. For example Warren Buffett, American investor and businessman, who lived in a modest house in Omaha, Nebraska. Money they earn is invested, so that their wealth is growing.

"Wealth is what you have accumulated, not what you spend," said Thomas Stanley and William Danko, authors of The Millionaire Next Door, which first published in 1996.

The wealth of such people is usually produced from their own efforts. In his book, they write, often not luck, inheritance, a high degree, or intelligence, which made them rich. "Wealth is more often due to a lifestyle of hard work, perseverance, planning, and more than that, self discipline," they wrote.

Many ways to define wealth, but most people think of wealth as the value of everything owned, with no debt. But there is a difference between an asset that can be marketed (things that can be liquidated quickly, such as stocks, bonds, or property), and personal items such as cars, clothing, and household tools that you use regularly and do not will be sold.

According to Stanley and Danko, salary alone can not make a person rich. High salaries would help build wealth, but financially independent person look at their salaries as a means to an end, namely to increase the money.

"The rich do not spend their money to purchase a free," says Pam Danziger, founder of Unity Marketing, a market research firm specializing in luxury goods. "They are so rich with maximizing the value of their investment."

Of course, they also still use the money to buy branded clothes or shoes, but it is done with full consideration. Buying too much done because the value and quality. "They really take shopping as an investment, not expenditure," he added.

The biggest difference between people who have money and people who want to have money is, how they pay for goods purchased. Millionaires tend to buy in cash, do not care if that car, home or yacht. This may be difficult to do by people who are still receiving an average salary, but essentially the same: do not owe it to fund your lifestyle.

They also make a neat design, and spent plenty of time for that. Many of those who save or invest in a compulsive, and consider the journey to wealth is much more fun than when it reached that goal.

They are patient, and willing to invest for the long term. This is done because they were trying to be financially independent. When he retires, many of those who know exactly what they need to continue living, to donate, and leave a legacy.

Leslie Lassiter, managing director of JPMorgan Private Wealth Management, also said that rich people really understand how much liquidity they need to cover expenses, and make sure they still have plenty of cash. "Supposedly, it was also done by the average person," he said.

Seven Steps to Be Rich

2011-04-20T07:46:00.000-07:00

"Wealth is what you have accumulated, not what you spend," says Thomas Stanley and William Danko, authors of The Millionaire Next Door. To achieve this property, it was not a lot you need to do. You only need to change habits that initially did not appreciate the money be better appreciated. Stanley and Danko reveal it in seven ways:

1. Life is simple.
People with high incomes who spend all their money to have fun can not be considered rich. They are careless because only live for today. You remember not the proverbial "first trouble, have fun later"? So, live simply on this day to be able to enjoy your life later.

2. Make a plan.
Planning is done not only within a period of one year, for example, but forever. And, live according to your plans today, tomorrow, even until the next 30 years. Take time to plan this and watch it every day planning. Use the budget and the budget is still holding on.

3. Do diversification.
Leslie Lassiter, managing director of JP Morgan Private Wealth Management, said, rich people used to create diversification for their investment. This makes them more flexible to survive in difficult times. "The most wealthy clients have a very varied portfolio, which is not just stocks, bonds, but also hedge funds, currencies, and commodities," he said. There are many mutual funds that let you get the type of asset classes.

4. Reduce the use of credit and move into cash.
Rich people can certainly be buying houses or luxury cars in cash. However, people who have an average income could mimic this habit. Pay items you want in cash. That means: if no cash, no need to buy the goods. Accumulate credit card debt for expensive items or a luxury holiday will not make you rich.

5. Have access to cash.
Although he has invested some money, rich people can still have the cash when needed. So, when there is a sudden need, you do not trouble to meet them.

6. Spread your cash savings.
Save your money in several different savings. This way will help you to set the budget. For example, one bank account is used as the cost of daily operations. Other accounts for retirement savings, education funds, vacation funds, and so forth. Using multiple accounts at the bank also allows you to benefit different.

7. Teach children to save and how to manage finances.
When parents can not give examples of consumer behavior, the child will imitate. Parents who do not have the mindset of consumptive prestige rather than located on the brand or the number of items owned. Parents would teach children to buy goods according to the needs and abilities. Thus, the child will appreciate more money and more intelligently manage finances.

Ways of Being Open Your Own Store

2011-04-19T22:48:00.000-07:00

Opening the store is promising a lot of advantages. Do not be surprised if you often see people who opened the store had more than one car and nice house.

For some, the desire to start a business shop into dreams and the passionate desire. However, not a few who hesitate to start because a lot of things that are feared.

If you have prepared yourself, of course, that fear can be minimized. Here is a trick that you can apply before opening the store:

1. Start with the kind of business based on expertise or hobbies of your family. Thus you can simply hang of and eager to develop it.

2. Find the most potential business location. You can adjust the segmentation and type of your business.

3. Note the place and make it interesting. If necessary renovations, press charges. Problem capital, in accordance with the principles of the Chinese, do not hesitate to start from 'zero'.
4. Opening a store means should be smart determine the fastest selling goods from your business type, because the capital will be much sucked for the most rapid procurement of goods such behavior.
5. If limited funds for the procurement of capital goods, can also borrow items relative or partner who would be deposited.

6. When opening the store, do not forget to invite relatives or relations.

7. Be careful in looking for business relationships. Find a trustworthy relationship. Do not easily believe in people.

8. Note the quality of goods obtained from the relationship, do not immediately pleased obtain cheap goods and always remember Negotiate with suppliers on price. It would be better you build a network with other stores, so find out important information for your business or have an adequate supply of goods to the warehouse together.

9. From the beginning, owners should start their business is committed to fully consider this. The owners must be disciplined in his shop every day.

10. In dealing with employees and shoppers do not put myself as a boss. By being in the store, the owner is seeking to build trust externally and internally buyer directly control its employees.
Meanwhile, citing information from the book Secrets of Success stores Istijanto Oei Chinese works, the benefits do indeed opened the store variety. Here's the secret of the benefits:

First, value for money.
If you have any money, for example, amounted to 5 million rupiah without investing it, then the value of the money will not grow. Conversely, if you invest the money to buy goods such as shampoo, soap, beverages, or food, then sell it in stores, value for money of course will increase.

For example, if you take a profit of 20 percent of the value of goods earlier. Thus, the value of goods can be increased to 6 million rupiah. Moreover, if the goods are discharged within a month only. Means that every month you will get a profit of 1 million rupiah.

Second, inflation.

Opening the store also can free you from the adverse effects of inflation or price increases. Because, so the price of goods rises, the price of your goods will also rise.

During the not rotten or damaged, the value of goods it will go up when there is inflation. The simplest example is a gold shop. If a store 5 kg of gold has a gold and the price of one gram of gold when it was around 117 000 USD. Although the gold shops are not selling any for two years, the benefits could be achieved several times. Therefore, the value of gold can rise unexpectedly almost every year.

Third, credit.
Another advantage is that it can use to open a store goods first. For example, when ordering goods from suppliers, you can take advantage of credit facilities. Well, if you can sell items quickly, then the profits from these sales can be used to pay credit. In addition, you also can invest the excess in it to buy another stock.

Fourth, the businessman.

Opening shops can also open the opportunity to be a top businessman. If a store successful, you not only sell goods to stores. However, you can also sell the concept store, design, supply the following goods. Viewing the facts above, if you are still hesitant to open their own store?.

One Learning How to Understand Consumer Appetite

2011-04-19T22:42:00.000-07:00

Consumer tastes toward something turned out to be genetic. "Do you like science fiction, hybrid cars, jazz music, mustard, opera, and dark chocolate, it all has a genetic component," Aner Sela presents the results of his research. Assistant professor of marketing at the University of Florida is to publish research results in the "Journal of Consumer Research" edition of April 2011.

"On the other hand, we found no similar effects on abstract art, art body piercing, and cilantro, which can be hated or liked."

Meanwhile, previous studies show that found the influence of derivatives in terms of intelligence, personality, and even divorce, drug addiction and the patterns of the general election, this is the first study to show that the genetic influence in consumer choice, advanced Sela.

"It is interesting to note that much of what we do and we want real roots of our ancestors," says Sela. Sela and Itamar Simonson, a professor of marketing at Stanford University, conducted a survey of 110 pairs of identical twins and same-sex twins paternal about the tendency of the preferred products and their shopping patterns, such as whether they prefer to spend money for goods of daily needs or for luxurious spa treatments. The same options are more commonly found in pairs of identical twins are identical genetic code rather than the paternal twins who have a similar neighborhood but only has half the same DNA.

The finding that consumer tastes are often determined by innate factors imply that the company can know better about how to serve customers in the states expressive tendencies and then react with certain products rather than relying on market tactics in order to change consumer behavior.

"Consumer research shows that consumers often behave in irrational and vote with a random pattern," he said.

"Although sometimes this conclusion is correct, we show that people do not just like a sheep that can only be the subject of manipulative influence others but actually has a personality that determines the quality of decision-making process, innate tendencies and preferences from birth."

These findings imply that the trend in choosing the less plausible could be rooted in genetic tendency. Outside the likes and dislikes of certain products, there is a genetic basis to select a compromise or middle option, choose between a certainty and a risky gamble.

For example, ceramic painting that artistic merit is not disposable items that are always needed people. Because it is not a disposable object that is, painting ceramics cottage industry beginners find it difficult to market their products.

At least that's according to Hendralian, a cottage industry of ceramic painting, Oddgreen when found in the exhibition furniture Indonesia 2010, Jakarta Convention Center. "The obstacles, just a marketing course that is less because of ceramic rather than primary goods," he said when asked about the obstacles Hendralian business.

Besides it is not the primary goods, such as hand painted ceramics to market the product Oddgreen Hendralian bit difficult to say if we can not determine the target products.

Initially, products such Oddgreen ceramic plate painting, mug painting, hand painted flower vases want to market products marketed art. However, Hendralian said, "Get in the art market, art for beginners it is difficult, if not here until I think. Ceramics in Indonesia more toward the ethnicity, the price is expensive, if a beginner, do not come," he said.

Hence, the two initiators Oddgreen, Hendralian and Isdihar newly started business three years, the only market their products via the Internet such as blogs, or at exhibitions of handicraft products.

By participating in various exhibitions of products, continued Lian, they learn to see consumer taste. "We do not know where that behavior. So, we are learning from the exhibition," he said.

From following the exhibition, both the ceramic business, Hendralian and Isdihar decided to target teenagers by selling popular products are brightly colored design and cheap.

For instance, products rope necklace and bracelet sold berliontin ceramic painting them with cheap price, which is USD 10 thousand. Design on a pendant necklace and bracelet too funny. There is a picture of animals, flowers, scooter, puppets, and other image that impressed young with bright color.

Y = Entertainment
Z = Closed Mouth

Hard Work:
George Allen said, "Health, happiness, and success depends on our survival. The great thing is not what happens in our lives, but what we do to make things happen in our lives."

The desire alone will not change anything. Work with anything in front of you, if you want to change things for the better.

3 Principles of Success in Career and Business

A lot of literature that discussed the steps or tips for success in career and business. Often, each review provides a different approach different. But from reviews that it is different, containing the same essence or principle of success. And if summarized, there are only 3 steps that must to achieve success in both career in jobs or in the business world.

The three steps are as follows:

1. THE PAIN absorption
Expertise, success, peak performance, or whatever the name, can not be built overnight. People with expertise or achievement in any field, whether sports, arts, professional, business, or accountant, they all have in common. They all, without exception, been through a long process, exhausting, and often painful. Why painful?

Because in the process, they often make mistakes, have setbacks, and other unpleasant things. Shoichiro Honda, the founder of Honda Motor Company, one of the largest automotive companies in the world, in one of his biography relates that at one time there are reporters who asked him, "How do you feel, knowing that Honda became one of the largest automotive manufacturers in the world?" With straightforward, Honda said: "Most people only know of my success. Though it is only 1% of my life's journey. While 99% of the rest is the story of my failure. "

And indeed there is no shortcut to reach the expertise, skills or success of the summit. So, success requires our ability to receive and absorb all forms of failure and pain ....

Tips to survive in the face of it all is:
1. Love your profession, not the company you work
If we love our profession, and all things we will do gladly.
2. Define your dreams
With a clear dream, we become more rigid in the face of challenges, and have the attitude of a fighter.

2. DEFLEC THE CREDIT
In any field, whether in jobs or careers in the business world, success requires the cooperation and support of another person or party. We can not succeed alone.
To move up a position in the office, we need the support of subordinates and superiors need of promotion. To succeed in business, we need the support of suppliers, from customers, or from our business partners

Therefore, at every opportunity, always convey praise and appreciation to the people around us. Vice versa, when we receive awards or praise from others, do not forget to forward the award to people who have worked hard for us: whether their subordinates or our staff in the office, or our own employees, or our business partners.

Make sure you are always generous in giving praise and recognition to others.

3. SHARE THE JOYS
No one who wants to work with people rather gloomy. Everyone longed for happiness and joy in his life. Be the person who always remembered as a cheerful person. Make sure that everyone who has been dealing with you, have a nice impression about yourself, and themselves. That way, without you knowing it, you have interesting things and positive friends who are always ready to raise you to the top.

Children 'Miracle' Chairul

2011-01-28T19:50:00.000-08:00

Trans Corp. or also known as The Group is recognized as one of the leading business groups in Indonesia. Trans TV Trans 7 in collaboration with the Kompas-Gramedia group, and Bank Mega into business ventures Trans Corp. raised and known in Indonesia. Last April, through the Trans Retail Trans Corp. to acquire 40 percent stake in PT Carrefour Indonesia, which has been dominated by Carrefour, based in France. Now Trans Corp. into a single majority shareholder in PT Carrefour Indonesia, which has 82 outlets in 23 cities in Indonesia.

What is the background of the acquisition of Carrefour Indonesia by Trans Corp. Here Kompas journalist Pieter P Gero and Tjahja Gunawan Direja with Chairul Tanjung, the owner and leader of Trans Corp., deals with the philosophy of acquiring Carrefour Indonesia and how he manages his business enterprises developed relatively recently. Chairul included in the list of rich people global version of Forbes magazine (edition March 2010) is also relatively young. On June 18, he will be aged 48 years.

Between business and special mission idealism, especially with the acquisition of Carrefour, the future, how?

I have always believed that between business and idealism had to do. Many people tell me to talk business just business yes, yes idealism idealism alone. It's like oil and water. While all believers, since I started trying, business and idealism can be combined, and if it can be combined as well, will have the sustainability, the ability to survive long term, this confidence that I have adopted since I started doing business today. Therefore, every business I always think how good this business is a business and also part of idealism. So in every business I've always talked about this business and this idealism. That way, need not disputed between the business and idealism. Always be able to walk.

It was the first. If it's Carrefour, how to Carrefour. Carrefour Problem is, is it the largest retail company in Indonesia. Turnover last year (in 2009) of about Rp 11.7 trillion. There's nothing bigger. Was foreign owned. Make her orientation clear. Good economic prospects, major customers, economic and political stability, so good.

They did not know that the distribution is important to be used as a tool to promote the national economy, promote the welfare of the people, for those who are first because they do not know and other emang pikirin cave. We go because we see this retail something extraordinary. But what if such a great business network we tumpangkan without reducing its business, in order to advance the national economy is better and healthier, and those that had not yet had the opportunity to market aspects, economic aspects, packaging, and so can overlap, partnership as well. In my business does not lose money, but the idealism I can give something to this nation.

Since when did start taking occurred to Carrefour?

Actually think that there's no grab Carrefour. Carrefour does not think because it was so large. Wow ... not kepikir. Only I always believed, we humans plan and God disposes. Carrefour is not us who are looking for, but they are coming. They hire consultants to find a good potential and strategic partners in Indonesia. Appears 20 names, we have in it. Shriveled to 10 still exist in our name, we have shriveled to 5, and shriveled into 2 is our name. Come and two are explored.

I said that to agree to take over Carrefour with a record would not be a silent partner. I do not want to become Alibaba. If you want, I'm the largest shareholder. I would like a mission and our vision as the development of SMEs, in partnership with traditional markets, relations with central and local government, our society runs. Also synergies with our existing business could walk. If you want okay, if not please look for other partners.

Once they see, yes indeed rich in this business that needs in Indonesia. If not, sustainability can not walk. Finally they are willing, begin to negotiate the price. Fast.

How long does the process of negotiating the price?

All processes begin negotiations no later than three months. Very fast. If God wills, so yes so. It costs very quickly. There is no fee to third parties. Deal in Indonesia, the negotiations in several states in India, Indonesia, France. But the signing of an agreement to buy in France and in Jakarta.

Inspired from where?

I started doing business since I started college in the FKG UI level. This idealism came because my family could not afford. How my mother had to pawn its soft cloth to pay my tuition. I can not accept and want to try. The bottom line for my college degree can be financed by my own. Gratitude, informal business that I do everything (on campus selling stickers, bags, books, book binding), and gradually and level IV began to be financed families (a total of seven brothers are now six because one died). Financial difficulties, the activities during high school and college, became the driving force. There is accumulation of that business should be looking for a profit, earnings, looking for money. Money is important, but not everything. This allows me to accumulated business and this idealism. This inner experience. If I were a rich kid, could not this. But since I was a child of the poor and have started actively looking for money since junior high, so I'm very aware of the business and this idealism.

Would like to be the ruler?

I demonstrators, also a model student, and now entrepreneur. To this day I always can control myself to stay as an entrepreneur, despite encouragement and solicitation of another to the political parties is very strong. Thanks be to this day I can convince all parties that the businessman was also important.

Being a businessman it is also part of the idealism that?

Iya dong. I have employees now more than 50,000 people. All employees of the group as a whole. This is a direct, not affiliated. If I keep trying, five years longer than 100,000 people and perhaps 10 more years to 500,000 people. If I become ruler, maybe I can not do this, provide direct welfare to so many people. As concrete as that. Maybe I could have done through the improvement of regulation and so on, but could not direct effects. As an entrepreneur can directly

Looks like Pak Chairul was thrilled about the details, until the small things considered?

I am a perfectionist. My detail man. That is, everything that I would not be half, random. Originally there. This is important. Many people talk macro, but do not understand microstructure. Instead there is talk of micro, but not macro. My main leaders of big companies have to understand the macro and also the business must understand. That way, a unit leader to know exactly and can not lie to me. Could not there have been reports from father happy. He knew if he did that, I would know, I'm definitely angry. And I guarantee that detailed can do something better than the unit leader. Therefore, they also do something also to do down in great detail, detail, and perfectionist. Thus the flow in all parts of the company is also nice and smooth.

Is it necessary to do a sudden or silently to each unit?

I've never done incognito (secret), but if we go to Carrefour that's part of my job. There I speak not only to the manager, but also to guard his shop. Not only with the CEO, but also talking with the buyers that have a comprehensive input. So I know what the price of Pontianak and mandarin oranges. All this because I do business from the ground so they can know the details, including respect for others. If you only talk with the CEO, how can appreciate the people under it and below it again. Honestly, now I do not know many people in the name, because it has 50,000 people. However, if I went anywhere, including to the area, will seek a dialogue with them. So I know their condition.

How exactly the right relationship between entrepreneurs like Chairul Tanjung and the authorities?

Precisely we have to talk about Indonesia Incorporated. Do not talk that I am the ruler so that the employers should come to me to beg and certain deals. It was past time. Entrepreneur also do not think that should be close to government officials or let to the concession, to the right of monopoly and special treatment. Eras such as this is over. Now is the entrepreneur must say that your job is to make government regulation good for the entrepreneurs we work well and I will perform my duties as an employer should, so I can make big profits and can pay big taxes to the state.

I will also make this effort to provide benefits not only for me, but also for the maximum benefit for the nation. If all the employers and the authorities can go hand in hand like this, God willing, 10 years from now I guarantee you can be prosperous prosperous Indonesia.

That there is now what?

Well that's the problem, there are employers who still likes to play around with the authorities, asking for concessions and privileges. While there is also the ruler who was nice playing with that pattern. Now if we could decide this chain, some of this nation's problems would be solved.

Speaking of taxes was, how the view that the tax part of economic democracy?

For me, if the loss does not have to pay taxes, but if lucky, let alone a big profit, it must pay taxes dong. I'm here, when the employee first received a big bonus, they're so far do not feel paying taxes because the company already paid. Salary received it already paid the tax by the company. They do not know who paid taxes could be one and a half times the salaries paid to them. Because never, as a bonus I can tell you all must pay taxes, all in shock. Especially when it was still 35 percent tax, not down as it is now 30 percent. All shock. Truncated large. Because of this during the tax paid by the company, now have to pay themselves. Now they feel normal to pay the tax. This true story.

Arguably pioneered the business has become an empire?

I do not care what term or designation. My goal first is to have a company that can provide benefits and advanced. And thank God none of the companies within the Group are the losers. Second, companies need to grow and grow fast. Why? Because more and grow, the more manpower that can be absorbed and can prosper. Bank Mega example, every year to open 50 to 100 branches. One branch takes 30 people. So 100 means 3,000 people are directly recruited each year. This is just one company. Yet another company.

Third, if the time comes, these companies have to become champions. At least in Indonesia. Player number one, yes if you can number two. But number one is better. Why? As preparation in time-perusaahaan company must be a global player. Condition, must first champion in the country. Do not aspire to be global players if not the Holy Grail of Indonesia. Especially overseas. So there are steps that must be traversed. No matter empire, but three of these things I do. Like Carrefour when you grow up, I'll be another lift. We are all owners of Carrefour. It's different if the owner only Chairul. That's the key, I want all my business like that.

Still remember the year 1998, we created the Movement Mega Share, by dividing the food packages to 100,000 people. What do people at the time, Chairul madman, again he's easy even for the-for. Maybe because I'm a lot to give, then God can say this is also a good kid, too, if given much more he could to-let for longer. That year, 1998, 12 years from now. It was not anything, especially now.

Fast enough, so no one else appeared gossip behind?

Some say this company Anthony Salim. Some say the family of former President Suharto on the back. Because there are Bank Mega, practically nothing to do with former President Megawati Sukarnoputri. Also no association with any army. I never say, for the sake of God none of their money. We are not yet mature. Therefore, so there is a "child prodigy", we do not believe.

There the term indigenous and non-indigenous, nationalist and so I'll be the project?

Era was over a matter of indigenous and non-indigenous. My philosophy, if he were non-indigenous but do something that essentially means so much to this nation, I do not care. If he did well for this nation, let him non-indigenous, he is a good citizen. If the natives he did that, then he is a good citizen.

If he native or non-indigenous but have not done that, then he is not a good citizen. Remove the indigenous and non-indigenous dichotomy about it. This is my philosophy. If there are indigenous entrepreneurs and tried to obtain a government project, so he is not good citizens, entrepreneurs are not good. The philosophy is now to be clean. Let me say no my business that is affiliated with the government. I have never submitted a tender. Also never been to the project, not to special concessions and monopolies. I am a pretty good tax payers. I can prove that this money is reversed where, his money where. Everything is recorded.

This philosophy is about values, not visible, how to get to all the ranks?

Cultural values are based on a model. If you want your subordinates to work hard, then you should give examples of hard work more than men. I'm still the last person home from work every day. Around 1 am. If someone said that he was a hard worker, I want to ask whether he was even harder than me. I also never took a penny of money from the company for my personal activities. The money that I eat are my rights as civil rights.

Salaries and bonuses, only recently I made dividends for me and my family. A year ago, to buy a house in Teuku Umar. Previously, I lived in Complex State Department in Kreo, Tangerang. I prove I am a simple man, do not consumerism. Nothing is different. I give this example to them. Not that I do not give the best compensation for employees. I apply this same value in the company. There's nothing here that their high salaries and then ride a Ferrari.

Modern management systems?

Of course we apply in line with the existing value system.

Still often eat at roadside warteg?

Still eating soup. If I am out of town, I sempatkan eat traditional foods. This pleasure can not be bought, the best. Live only once. I was so far no serious illness (rarely check). Sports exist, but not routine.

This diverse business how?

There are financial groups, such as banks, these financial groups. There is another media business and lifestyle or entertainment, this is one area anymore. And another in natural resources, natural resources. So there are only three areas of business. Grouped. The one in the media itself is divided again over the media, entertainment, and lifestyle. Natural resources, we only have oil palm plantations, not much.

Problem Carrefour, whether the future can also become a means of exporting our products?

Yes we're talking with Carrefour in ASEAN, but has not detailed because it is still in the hands of leaders of the country concerned. If you took over Carrefour in other countries, because these strict rules concerning the country, have to deal with heads of state. With Carrefour its okay, about the price and so forth. In other countries are tight, deals with heads of state, here are delicious.

Take Carrefour to become a shield to face charges in domestic competition?

If it becomes a shield may only be given 10 percent alone. But if the largest shareholder is not clear. Moreover, it took over the real, not a money-mercenary. Borrow money from international banks. Is there in history would become a shield Chairul people. It was my fortune and self-esteem is not. I now have the right to enter the four directors in Carrefour. France is known to negotiate with difficult and complicated. But just one month and because of ongoing intensive. We reached 350 million U.S. dollars loan. If you do not have that ability, it is impossible without trust, track record, and relations.

Three months later sales had declined bag. Ummah also get inputs to reproduce a model of bags that are made. One of his friends had time to give a gift book called From Trash to Trashion: 25 Creative Waste Plastics (2009) Herianti works to enrich the knowledge and the creation of the Ummah.

The book was inspired Ummah to make various kinds of products from plastic waste, such as laptop bags, travel bags (travel bag), briefcase (for folders and archives), a raincoat (for children and adults), aprons (current body armor cooking), and wallets. The product is sold starting from Rp 20,000 to Rp 100,000 per fruit.
