Chairul Tanjung
This is blog about my inspirational figure. My inspirational figure is Chairul Tanjung. Because he is a successful businessman in his field, he is a figure who has Trans Studio Bandung. The reason we idolize him is because he is a person who is devout, serves his parents and never gives up in his life, until he is successful. And also he was never arrogant and always shared with the less fortunate.
Chairul Tanjung The Cassava Child
Prof. drg. Chairul Tanjung, M.B.A. (Soewandi's spelling: Chairul Tandjung, born in Jakarta, June 16, 1962; age 57 years) is a businessman from Indonesia. He served as Coordinating Minister for the Economy replacing Hatta Rajasa from May 19, 2014 to October 20, 2014. His name is widely known as a successful businessman who led CT Corp.
Chairul's youth was not rich in wealth and adequacy. The father is just a journalist from a relatively small newspaper. In fact, entering the New Order period, the company where his father worked was closed because it was considered contrary to the government.
The economic downfall of Chairul's family forced them to sell their homes and live in a small hostel that was very narrow if inhabited by all their family members.
From this 'Chairul Tanjung Si Anak Singkong' because he has a very ordinary family background. In addition, the nickname is also popular thanks to Chairul Tanjung's biography entitled "Chairul Tanjung Si Anak Cassava" published in 2012 by Kompas. This book was compiled by a writer and journalist named Tjahja Gunawan Diredja.
Chairul Tanjung, who is now known as the 937th richest person in the world according to Forbes magazine, had a small trade to pay for his tuition fees due to unfavorable financial conditions at that time.
In order to finance his college needs, he had traded college books, photocopies to t-shirt making services.
He also once founded a medical and laboratory equipment store in the Senen area, Central Jakarta, although it eventually went bankrupt.
In his unfavorable condition, he remained persistent in working and completing his college, he even received an award as a National Exemplary Student in 1984-1985.
The failure of The Cassava Child
His failure in building a medical equipment shop and laboratory business did not make him discouraged.
He tried to open a contracting business even though he still went bankrupt, so that made him have to work in a steel company and had moved to a rattan company.
After graduating from the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Indonesia in 1987, Chairul Tanjung together with three colleagues started an export children's shoe manufacturing business named PT Pariarti Shindutama with a capital of Rp150 million borrowed from Exim Bank.
Dewi Fortuna was on her side because she ordered 160 thousand pairs of shoes from Italy, which made her business with her partner grow rapidly. But it is unfortunate, their cooperation got a dead end
