3 Gibson is attacked.
This there is a fair competition. Jason started working at the company from the bottom. From cleaning service to being a driver as an ordinary staff, manager to marketing director.
Gibson had to start from the ground up as an ordinary employee.
The Kim family farming business moves from upstream to downstream, from forests, mountains, rice fields, oceans, and land, from villages to cities, from not only planting to planting high-profit commodities but beyond that, there is still a lot of potentials to be explored and developed.
There is no vacation in Opa Kim's dictionary, every time is precious. time is an advantage.
Time is a struggle.
"Take advantage of the time to work, when people rest because of the season, that's when we work to take advantage of the season", said Opa Kim One one time to both of them, when they were both little. And they interpret it in their way.
"Focus on points that earn coins!" Opa Kim One always motivates them.
Jason and Gibson grew up overflowing with affection in the same way that Opa Kim One did from their infancy to adolescence. Jason and Gibson are prepared as a prince heir to the Kim family business empire that has existed for more than 100 years.
There is no difference between the two, Gibson, Marlie's son, Opa Kim One's biological child, while Jason, Jonas Kim's son, is his nephew. The two children were given the same opportunity,
it's just that after they grew up, both of their parents shaped them both in their way.
Right now, the two youths were in a position of facing each other and at odds.
In Opa Kim One's heart, it is quite regrettable, why Jonas could grow up to be an ambitious and mischievous person.
Opa Kim One is not ignorant of Jason's actions, which have been influenced by his father Jonas, who has the ambition to replace his position as president director and take advantage of his affection for Jason. control of the company
Opa Kim One called the two young men at the meeting of the Kim elders. "I give the same opportunity to both of you to advance the company!" Opa Kim One wisely uses the phrase 'advancing' not 'competition' and creating a 'challenge' for both of them. The four elders nodded in agreement. They don't want a split in the Kim family anyway. The two handsome young men, got different assignments, in different work areas and different sectors.
"You two have to explore different sources from the type of business that the company has developed. You must be able to develop new sources in agriculture." Opa Kim One looked at both of them with a faint smile.
"Gibson, you are developing a business in the fisheries sector, while Jason is developing a food crop business!" Opa Kim One ordered, handing over a folder containing business project documents which were the responsibility of the two of them.
The two young men walked out of the president director's office and took different paths. Jason turned right into his office. As of today, he is no longer based in that place. He will be assigned to Surabaya.
Jason condemned the decision. He felt abandoned and excluded. All the results of efforts and work success so far are considered zero. He started all over again. Pain and disappointment filled his cavity.
He didn't want Gibson to be superior to him.
Meanwhile, Gibson took the straight road to the parking lot, headed home. Today is the first day he worked. There is no more time to relax.
He has no experience in that field, he is an IT expert, not a businessman.
He must hurry to the islands of a thousand. The project started there.
.....
Thousand Islands
It takes 120 minutes from Muara Angke to Pramuka Island by wooden boat. It could have been faster to get to the island by speedboat, but Gibson wanted to get to know the islands better. Then he moved to the island of Tidung¹ to meet the fishermen who raise grouper fish.
In the past 3 years, the people on this island have successfully cultivated tiger grouper, which has become a community flagship program and has received support from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries because it is very suitable for the conditions and resources owned by the Thousand Islands as well as market assurance and certainty.
Gibson met the head of the fishing cooperative, Budi Sandi, local youth from the Betawi tribe. The young man was very welcoming to Gibson's arrival.
Gibson knows Budi Sandi from Facebook, this young man is very determined to fight for the fate of fishermen in the islands.
"We want tiger grouper farmers to be independent. This independence can be achieved if there is business support from upstream to downstream that is conducive. Currently, the fisheries business climate is more conducive, domestic and foreign market absorption continues to be positive, the price is even more stable and good," he explained. Budi Sandi.
A girl with white skin and a beautiful face came out of the house bringing a cold drink. She was nothing like the fishing girl on the island.
"She is Nesia, my sister, she just graduated from nursing school, she works in the hospital at Pelabuhan Ratu!" Budi Sandi said proudly. Budi and Nesia live alone together, their parents used to be wealthy merchants. But both their parents died in the fire that razed their home. His father's business went bankrupt before the fire. People accused his father of committing suicide by burning their own house on purpose because they were depressed by debts that were so great that they could not pay off.
"I am sure my parents were killed, someday I will prove to everyone that they did not kill themselves", Budi Sandi told the story of his family's life, his eyes radiating a fiery rage full of revenge.
Nesia bowed. His brother is always still holding a grudge over the death of his parents.
....
Budi Sandi took Gibson on a tour of Tidung Island to see the location of tiger grouper fish farming using floating net cages as a rearing area for tiger grouper.
"Tiger grouper fish is one of the marine commodities that has a lot of market demand every year it continues to experience an increase in demand, both domestic and international markets," Budi explained excitedly. They agreed to work together.
Budi Sandi helped Gibson connect him with fisherman farmers and make an MoU.
....
Surabaya
The potential for the food and beverage processing business is very promising. The food and beverage processing industry is always increasing every year. But Jason is having a hard time working in the field, meeting with the farmers, and making new deals which makes it difficult for Jason.
Jason is not a field worker. He used to work behind the desk. Even though in the company he worked from a lowly employee, but jobs such as cleaning service were only passed within 3 months, as well as his job as a staff of his father in the company for only 6 months. Furthermore, his career continued to advance until he became a finance director.
Jason grew more annoyed when he heard the news from his subordinates that Gibson had completed 5 MoUs with fishermen farmers, with the results of his multi-million dollar monthly contract. His heart is hot.
He didn't want Gibson to be more successful than him.

Pelabuhan Ratu
Nesia found the victim of a hit and run not far from her boarding house. The victim's face was covered in blood. He couldn't recognize the victim's face.
Nesia immediately rushed the victim to the hospital where she worked. After the victim's head was cleaned, he knew who the hit-and-run victim was, he was Gibson, a friend of his brother.
Someone accidentally got Gibson wrong.
This is the third time that Gibson has been attacked.
Gibson had to undergo minor surgery on his head. The young man had a concussion.
Nesia does not know her sister's guest, there is no identification letter, not a cellphone number that can be contacted. Nesia was forced to call her brother Budi Sandi to help her.
