Firmansyah Budi Tela Krazz "Food wong Deso"

Local food is sometimes not too much ogled by many as a potential lucrative business. Yet another case with Firmansyah Budi, the founder of this Krezz Tela, who has since 2006 started a business partnership cassava or sweet potatoes processed foods (cassava) Krezz Tela (spicy fried cassava).

Firmansyah story business building with the flag of cassava processed foods Tela Krezz grobak originated from only one of his mother's loan with an initial capital of Rp 200,000. From there he began to have confidence that the business of processed food from cassava is prospected.

According to him, very embarrassed if Indonesia continues to import raw materials of food that can not be well developed in Indonesia such as wheat. Today he said, Indonesia's largest cassava producing countries including the world's third under Brazil.

His conviction was finally answered, now is it already has hundreds of partners Tela Krezz with a lucrative turnover. Firmansyah inspired lift cassava into food processed food because the current domestic food market has been flooded with imported food products such as soybean, wheat flour, corn, and many others.

"It started from my concerns, now is the raw material all wheat foods, are imported. Why not use local content," said Firmansyah to detikFinance, last weekend.

Firmansyah a graduate of Bachelor of Law, originally did not immediately plunged into the realm of business. Since graduating college in 2004, he entered the field of community development NGOs (community development), from which her eyes troubled about many cases of migrant workers abroad that should be prevented if there are jobs in the country.

"Now I've got 60 direct employees, not the outsourcing," he said.

Spirit of innovation to develop cassava food is not just limited to Tela Krezz, he also developed a kind of brownie cake Tela products from cassava, cake Bika Ambon, Bakpia, Cassava Chips and others.

"I dream the future, people can be aware with our local products, if not then we will be evicted," he said.

According to the man born in Semarang, December 5, 1981, the processed foods like cassava that are already regarded as a food 'ndeso' necessary effort. Tela food concept he developed to make cassava meal is more modern and attractive.

"Why would I not want to be called as a brownie, I would like to name tela cake. So if we can though with a modern and dynamic, we can change the mindset of food ndeso wong is so modern. Mindsetnya should be modified, food that's out of habit," he explained.

For business marketing, marketing Tela Firmansyah Cake accidentally developed with the concept of food by the native-Jogjakarta. It is important to strengthen the image Tela Cake as a special food, although he also plans to market the product to the general retail market but with a different brand.

He claimed to currently able to sell the package Tela 1000-1500 Cake. Tela Cake The price of a package priced to $ 28,000, would have imagined how much turnover of Firmansyah than just selling the brownies a la cassava. This product has not been calculated from Tela Krezz his first he was developing.

Rounding out the local food, not enough effort Firmansyah there. In 2009 he also developed products processed cocoa or cocoa into chocolate food tasty and appealing. This time, Firmansyah formed a special division in Tela Corporation which became the official flag of his business.

"From 2009 I also made chocolate products Roso (Clark), who is also the concept of food by-by Jogjakarta," he explained.

His desire to develop products chocolate, roughly equal to the exasperation of flour imported food products. According to Indonesia, is the producer of cocoa in the world that counts, but little has processed chocolate products.

If any, processed chocolate products in Indonesia market from imports and foreign brands. He hopes to be a choice of homemade chocolate market and could break the domination of foreign chocolate products in Indonesia market.

"My vision how the empowerment of local food," he said.

So he said, with the empowerment of local food local workforce uptake of the higher instance if cassava is developed then how many farmers who can live, how many hip coolies who worked, how many workers are absorbed cutting cassava and others. Even with high ideals, Firmansyah not bite the fingers, his business started in 2006 has yielded fantastic results.

"If my count is calculated turnover of up to hundreds of millions per month. A year can be up to Rp 10 billion more," he said.

Rudi Salim "PT Excel Trade Indonesia"

Business, multi-age 23 have more than $ 1.3 billion a month. That is now acted Rudi Salim. Male high school graduates pursue a risky business. Namely, a credit finance for online transactions.

RUDI Salim was seen struggling with a laptop when met at his office on the third floor balcony of a shop in the elite area of North Jakarta last week. He states prefer to work in the balcony as he glanced around his office. "There are many sources of inspiration are milling about," he said. Not long ago, his secretary came served drinks.

All control of the company's management and trivial affairs he did without a voice through the internet. Including, to control its employees outside the city. There are eight branches outside the city with 32 employees with turnover of more than $ 1.3 billion a month.

The online gaming hobbyist efforts rely solely on the website and thread or stalls www.kaskus.us with a simple display of an offer of credit to anyone who is buying and selling via online transactions. "It's effective. But, I built all this from scratch with a capital of parents sell cars," explains owner PT Excel Trade Indonesia.

The man who once tasted the college at a university medical school for two semesters Jakarta explained, begins with a daring attempt to finance his purchase and sale transactions in the virtual world (online) without the previous meet and know people. When the business is initiated, the parents had strenuously opposed.

"Especially my mother. Because, I dropped out of school and sell cars and sell one of a family-owned businesses karaoke. In fact, the mother had told me not want to see me before I was successful," recalled the man born in Jakarta 24 April 1987 is.

Uniquely, said Rudi, his business is actually not the inspiration from the online world. But, from his conversation with his friend who works at one of the major electronics stores nationwide networking that provides financing for purchase of electronic goods from the customer. From the conversation, he saw the potential that is still very large business loans financing the purchase of goods, especially in the online world.

But Rudi indirect business smoothly. Due to lack of experience, he repeatedly deceived people. "Initially, I was only through telephone surveys based applications and data that is sent via e-mail to prospective borrowers to prospective borrowers and home office," explained the third child among three brothers.

Sure enough, the demand for credit financing of goods rose followed by rising demand for credit fraud alias bulging. At the beginning of his business is established, there have been 60 applications received from customers in Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang, and Bekasi. But, among the applications submitted for the transaction to the company financed Rudi, not a few problems. "Therefore, I always check the credit application itself," he said.

Initially, kenekatannya in a risky business these people are not used responsibly. Some people deliberately create a false identity to fool Rudi. In fact he had cheated syndicate credit card counterfeiters and suffered losses of up to Rp 15 million.

At that time, there is a mother who submit applications online to buy a laptop with a credit worth USD 10 million. All the data matches, including time checks by calling the office where the debtor works in one state. "He had to pay four installments and always on time," said he.

Rudi is also believed to their customers. Therefore, when the mother returned to take credit for the same goods, he does not object to finance. "No I would have thought, it turns out since then he disappeared. Credit laptops both unpaid installments is also the first laptop. I cheated raw crude," he said.

When Rudi came to office "customer", the person whose name is the same as the name of the mother is found not know anything about the laptop's credit. "Apparently, the people I met was named dicatut the liar," he added.

From these various experiences annoying, Rudi then a lot of credit disbursement system repair company. He then recruited several people who served directly in the field surveying. "Now before we can approve customers' credit, we surveyed closely. After the goods there, the person signing the agreement and be photographed with the goods," he explained.

Since the new system is implemented, Rudi rarely be fooled again. In fact, many satisfied customers over a secure and convenient service that the company provides Rudi.

In quick time, company name Rudi skyrocketed, especially in various forums buying and selling online. Without the cost of promotion, publicity for the company's rapid spread in many discussion forums in cyberspace as well as word of mouth has ever felt the ease of service.

So many requests from clients outside the city to make Rudi returned to rack my brain to reap these opportunities. He then took a few areas in www.kaskus.us moderators to become surveyors. Therefore, Rudi and opened branches in eight cities outside Greater Jakarta. "It is unlikely the moderators are problematic because they also maintain its reputation in cyberspace. Therefore, they also sell on the forum," he said.

Hendy Setiono "Kebab Turki Baba Rafi"

One more young people Surabaya incised great achievement. He is Hendy Setiono, president Kebab Turki Baba Rafi. His achievements are recognized not only domestically but also abroad. Why?

His face and his appearance was like a young child. That afternoon, he had a brown batik shirt black trousers. Pretty simple. Not reflected the look of a boss of a company, multi-more than Rp 1 billion per month.

That is the daily appearance Hendy Setiono, chairman of Kebab Turki Baba Rafi Surabaya. By the end of the 2006 edition of Tempo magazine, he was named one of ten figures which assessed options to change Indonesia. Of course, a recognition that pride for Hendy. Moreover, the business that he struggled quite a business that is not familiar. He was still 23 years! Wow, very young for a boss who has 100 outlets in 16 cities in Indonesia.

With a friendly man born in Surabaya, March 30, 1983, was ushered into his office Java Post in commercial Manyar Garden Inn, Semolo Nginden region. "Usually I come to work late in the morning. But, because today there is an appointment with you, I am somewhat meruput came into office, "said Hendy started the conversation.

At that time, the clock was pointing at 11.00. For Hendy, at 11.00 was still fairly early because usually he just entered office more than at 12.00.

He then told the beginning of the business that they do kebabs. Kebab is the typical food Middle East (Middle East) are made of roast beef, blended with fresh vegetables, and spiced mayonnaise, then rolled up in tortillas. Actually, many kebab circulating in Qatar and other Middle East countries.

However, Hendy said, is the most delicious kebab from Istanbul, Turkey. Therefore, he used "trade mark" Turkey to attract prospective customers.

Hendy recounts, in May 2003, he visited his father who served in the oil company in Qatar. During the successful carrying out of the new nation's Asian Games, he met many kebab shops that dijubeli local residents. Because of curiosity, Hendy who claimed hobby eat it and then try the food is delicious when eaten in these hot conditions. "Apparently, it was very tasty. I do not suspect it feels like it, "said the eldest of two brothers pair H Ir Bambang Sudiono and Endah Setijowati it.
Not just a full stomach, then in the minds Hendy mind immediately flashed to open a kebab business in Indonesia. The reason, besides not many such efforts, in Indonesia there are citizens of Middle East descent are spread in various cities.
"People Indonesia is also a lot of hajj or umrah. Normally, they never felt the kebabs in Mecca or Medina. Well, they can eat kebab enough nostalgia in my outlet, "he explained.

"Hence, while in Qatar, I also used the time to hunt kebab recipe. I looked it up in the most crowded kebab shop patrons, "said the wife Nilamsari Hendy, 23, and now have two children, Rafi Darmawan, 3, and Reva Audrey Zahifa, 2, is.

Once back in Surabaya, he immediately set business strategy. The first do is look for a partner. He did not want his business at random. He then met Hasan Baraja, business friend who also happened to be the culinary fun. Initially, they deliberately do trial and error to explore business opportunities and market share.
"Apparently, kebab recipe from Qatar a taste of cardamom and cloves are not strong enough so preferred by consumers. Its size was too big. Hence, we modify the flavor and the right size so that more people familiar with Indonesia, "he said.

September 2003, carts selling kebabs first began operations. Precisely in one corner Nginden Semolo Road, adjacent to the campus and residence.
Why the wagon? Hendy has a reason. "Making the cart cheaper than making a permanent stall. Do not need much capital. Carriage also flexible, removable, "he said.
Problem name of the restaurant Baba Rafi, he admitted inspired the name of her first child, Rafi Darmawan. "Given the name of Mr. Kebab Hendy not really commercial," she said and chuckled.

When it came to him the name of the eldest son, Rafi. "In hindsight, using the name of Baba Rafi, funny taste. Baba means father's, so Baba means father Rafi Rafi. "
Starting a business is not easy. Moreover, to achieve success as they are now. Joy and sadness was felt that the prospective father of three children. "For example, selling money was taken away employees. Many employees are out. Just a few weeks work has been asked out, "he said.

In fact, once a day, because it does not have its own staff, Hendy and wife selling. That day happened to rain. Not many people buy a kebab. Hence, too little income. "The money from selling that day be used to buy food in shops is not enough seafood. Well, it's bitter experience that we always remember, "he said.
