Kapanlagi.com - Putra Siregar, an electronics businessman known for his slogan Handphone Pejabat Harga Merakyat (Cellphones for Officials at Affordable Prices), started his career as a used cellphone trader. Putra Siregar's success story was revealed in an interview with Sandiaga Uno on the Open for Business program in Jakarta last Sunday.

"I used to sell used cellphones in a 2x2 meter kiosk in Condet, East Jakarta," said Putra Siregar.

1. Hit by News of Illegal Trade

It is now known that the business owned by the 27-year-old man is being hit by news stating that his trade is illegal. Nevertheless, Sandiaga Uno, who is impressed by Putra Siregar's perseverance, asked what lesson could be taken from this incident.

“The lesson for me personally is that I should not be ungrateful for the blessings. When Allah gives me wealth, Allah can take it away anytime. Finally, I improve myself,” said Putra.

2. Sales Getting Busier

Sales are actually getting busier now and attracting buyers, and he also admitted that being helped by public figures has made him more famous. In addition, when Sandiaga Uno asked about Putra's desires, he wants to build a pesantren (Islamic boarding school), school, and mosque as provisions for the afterlife.

“Spiritual activities are necessities. Our hearts belong to God, and when we draw closer to God, our hearts become spacious,” he concluded.
