Of course various type of goods is being supplied to other area outside Jakarta ; Clothes, Food, Elctronical Stuff, Medical, Vehicles, firearms and Military Hardware. in return he can brought raw materials from these area like minerals stuff or agriculture product.

Lately Hashfi loyal costumers is General Hafiz, the Warlord of Pasundan Military Councils. He supplied General Hafiz men with hundreds of tons small arms along with ammunition. Hashfi also supplied hundreds of old buses from China to Pasundan Military Council few months ago, General Hafiz said he wants to make sure that his people can have good and ready public transports. Hashfi thoughts that General Hafiz so far known as warlord that care for the well being of his people. Kinda weird but thats what happen on the Pasundan Military Councils.

Hashfi stopped and parked his car on the parking lot of fancy terrace restaurant called Lokananta, its his favorite restaurant and he hold majority shares in this restaurant. A young female waitress opens the door entrances for Hashfi. The waitress know well who Hashfi is.

"Good morning Mr.Hashfi. nice to see you again" Says Wahyuni that female waitress.

Hashfi nodded gently to wahyuni. "Thankyou wahyuni". Hashfi took a seat while wahyuni poured a welcome drink to him.

" I order as usual" Says Hashfi. Wahyuni nodded. she knows Hashfi favorite meal, A Beef BBQ steak with Salad. Wahyuni go to the kitchen to order the Chef to begin cooking.

Life is good if you have plenty much of money. Especially in a Capitalistic society in the Free City Of Jakarta. And thanks to the family net worth inheritance and his diligence on finance. Makes Hashfi number 12 richest person in Jakarta. If he placed in number 10, then he will automatically placed as governing body of Jakarta directorate. As a richest person, Hashfi also have their own Militiamen to protect himself and his business interest. The rivalry among the businessperson in Jakarta is very intriguing and challenging and every businessperson have their own Militiamen, so Hashfi is not alone in this case.

While waiting his meals ready. Hashfi reads the Local Newspaper. One of the newspaper column is talk about the Firearms clashes between Pasundan Military Councils and The Heavenly Kingdoms Of Dermayu Al-Maytun.

"Huh. looks like Hafiz is needed another tons of ammunition again" Hashfi told to himself.

a few moments later. Wahyuni the waitress bring Hashfi orders in a silver tray. she put the food and drink on the table.

"Here is for you wahyuni. a small tip for you. you doing good job" says Hashfi. he hands a bill worth of $20 to Wahyuni. for Wahyuni, $20 is a large amount of money. especially when the former Rupiah currency that still circulated has been undervalued.

"thankyou mr.Hashfi. you are so kind" says Wahyuni gratefully.

Hashfi is a generous person. in his neighborhood at Melawai. he always sharing Food and Goods to the common people in his neighborhood. no wonder the people in his neighborhood pay huge respect to him. sometimes hashfi preferred himself like a mix of Saints and Don Corloene.

but right now. he just want to enjoying his meals.
