100 Rupiah Notes (part 2)

Continuation from Wooden Shoes and My Dream (part 1).....

3 years had passed, the little girl, let's call her L was in primary school third year. She was still carrying out her 6-am routine. However, she realised that if she did not make any changes to her life, she would end up being 'cha-kia' girl for the rest of her life. With her saving in her metal-tin box, together with her best friend (she believes in choosing someone she could really trust), they started to purchase candies from supplier and sold them in their own school.

Their marketing idea was most parents would give their kids 100 rupiah notes as pocket money. Hence, they decide to priced their goods for 100 Rupiah for 3 candies (they believed this is easy and convenient for their customers - students. haha...it's important to think from customer's own shoes). Soon, their little business triumphed , they sold boxes of candies one after another. However, little that they realised, someone, let's call her Z was silently observing their little business. Soon she too started to sell candies in school. With the help of her elder sister and money from her mum, Z could afford to sell the candies at a much lower price. Soon all L's customers chose to bought their candies ffrom Z. That had crippled L's business significantly. That's was how her little candies business ended less than one year after operation.

That afternoon when class ended. L was extremely sad and heart broken.... She walked home alone. On her way, she pondered about a lot of things ~

• Z was one of the richest girl in her hometown - her mum owned a photography studio that monopolised the entire photography business in the area. What on earth would she need money in the first place. So, she concluded that Z real motive was nothing but to destroy her business.
• Z did not have entrepreneur mind at all, to be honest although this sounds bad but it's reality. With the price she quoted, she would definitely made a loss. As they were purchasing those candies from the same supplier, L knew very well how much those items cost or maybe she did not mind losing money as making money was not her motive???
• But the biggest thing that had broken L's heart was not loosing her business but losing her friend. Jz to let you know L and Z had become good friends since they were in primary one and often spent time to do their homework together. She felt betrayed and that marked the end of their friendship......
