26 Test Continuous

After that, Gatot began to conduct a short test about the world of stocks. The initial introduction test about the world of stocks, all of which Ken immediately answered smoothly without the slightest error.

"Hmmm ... this cleaning service, it turns out there is preparation too. Okay. I'll start asking the hard questions," Gatot thought while looking at Ken with a condescending look.

After that, Gatot began to carry out his plan. He asked difficult questions that were usually only mastered by stockbrokers who had worked long enough in the stock market. Gatot was sure that the questions he asked would be difficult for Ken to answer.

Gatot was ready to kick Ken out of the room because he knew it would be impossible for Ken to answer his questions. But Gatot had to wipe his tears when Ken answered all his questions smoothly.

"Crazy. That's a tough question and one that can't be answered by just reading a book on how stocks work, because it takes someone who has been in the stock business for a long time to answer my question," Gatot thought again.

After that, Gatot started to open his laptop. Gatot was looking for a difficult question that even he couldn't answer, therefore, before asking, he looked for the answer first on his laptop, because this question was about the complicated workings that are usually held by seasoned traders in the stock market.

This way of working, there is only theory but, it is difficult to be done smoothly even by traders who have been in the country's stock market for a long time. Gatot was deliberately looking for a way to kick Ken out right away, because Gatot was very confident that a clening service like Ken, would not be able to take part in the stock market.

But, what was Gatot's question, Ken again managed to answer easily without seeming to think at all. Ken explained perfectly the complicated workings of the stock game as requested by Gatot.

Gatot was getting more and more curious. He took one of the laptops on his desk that was connected to the stock exchange. After fiddling with it for a while, Gatot handed the laptop to Ken. "Follow the stock market right now. Follow it with my account. I have a lot of deposits there, if you can double my deposit to 50 percent, then, you pass my test. If you make my deposit less. I reject you as one of the brokers in this company.

Hearing Gatot's words, Ken fell silent. He glanced briefly at Gatot's laptop screen in front of him. Ken looked at Gatot's deposit.

Actually, Ken could have made Gatot's deposit increase dozens of times in just one hour, he was able to do that because he was very familiar with the movement of stock values in any market.

Even though it had been a year since Ken had been involved in the stock market, the method of earning as much as possible was still the same, so it would be very easy for a stock maestro like Ken.

When Ken was still thinking like that, Gatot immediately sneered. "Huh... why, scared? Huh, you're only good at theory, maybe Lidya has taught you about theory so your answers are very good. But, that doesn't mean you can put it into practice. Right? Heheh."

Ken smiled. He had been silent earlier because he was thinking of ways to make his winnings not too high, not too much so that it would make Gatot surprised, but, because he got a sneer from Gatot, Ken was forced to start playing.

Ken entered the stock market. Ken started to buy some fried stocks or Blue Chip stocks that Ken saw at a glance.

What Ken did was directly monitored by Gatot through the laptop in front of him. Gatot was very surprised to see Ken's quick steps that immediately chose several stocks that were volatile on the trading floor. "Hey! You can't be too hasty."

"You said earlier, I have to start moving, sir. Which one is right, sir?"

"Yes. I did ask you to move, but, not this quickly. You must start, but slowly. Remember, I gave you an hour. I mean that, so that you can try first, and if you fail, you can start again and improve on your previous experience."

"Um..."

"So, don't get all worked up like this. You see, the capital that I gave you, you've risked it all. What if you lose right away?" Gatot glared at Ken's hasty manner.

Ken was silent while staring at the laptop screen.

"Has Lidya ever taught you to play stocks directly?" asked Gatot.

"No, sir. She just gave me a book to study."

"Where's the book."

"Kevin took out the book that he had rolled up and had been carrying around, not to read but as a memento for Ken because it was Lidya's first gift to him.

Gatot flipped through the book that Ken gave him, then Gatot opened the book and kind of underestimated this book because this book only contained basic lessons for a beginner stockbroker.

"Huh! My deposit is gone. It's a good thing it's not in my one account that has a lot of deposits," Gatot complained.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"Actually, it's just my backup account, and several times the people I tested to become stockbrokers, spent my deposit there. But, that happened after about an hour and I had time to give them feedback. So, even if they failed too, at least it was a little lesson that I gave them. It's not like this, it's all gone immediately."

"I'm sorry, sir." Ken apologized again.

"Once, the person I tested, actually made a profit on my account. He could bring in profits of up to 200 percent. The highest was 450 percent of my previous deposit and that person has now become one of the most successful brokers in this office. So, I made a good profit when I tested him."

"So, there are also those, sir, who make a profit?" Ken asked curiously.

"There were. But only a few. Lidya at that time only made 120 percent profit for me. But, there are only a few who can make a profit during my test. Most of them graduated from undergraduate programs at famous universities in this country. There are also some who graduated from Singapore and Australia. But, if you're just a high school graduate like you, let alone just a basic cleaning service, it's impossible to make a profit. Hahaha. Lidya is expecting too much."

Ken could only look down at Gatot's dismissive attitude. He just hoped that there would be a quick turnaround, where the stocks he bought earlier, started to change like his prediction so that Gatot wouldn't underestimate him like this.
