Andi Nata who took the Mechanical Engineering Department, as incompatible with his business field. Aqiqah business which he developed to provide a dish that is identical to the satay and curry goat.
"Honestly, I can not cook, let alone cultivate cooking satay or curry goat. But the dish I had entered the Four Seasons Hotel and three other four-star hotel in Jakarta," said Andi detikFinance encountered some time ago.
So, what makes a successful business managing Aqiqah up, multi-hundred million dollars per month?
According to his culinary businesses do not always know how to cook. Reflecting on the ability that simply can not cook but want a culinary business, he had to 'roam' to find a reliable cook.

He recognizes very hard to find a good cook and wanted to have cooperation. Andi was perplexed not to launch a variety of tricks, one of them stay in touch or visit people who he 'seek'.
"Yes, the intention to stay in touch with people will probably throw me out, although it is not known. While playing to the home cook that I seek, almost every day do not forget to bring snacks, such as chocolate, biscuits, etc. for their children, so the term nyogok, "he said.
Finally, almost 2 (two) weeks while expressing a desire sincere friendship, eventually the cook that she seek her heart melted. "He wants to intertwine the collaboration, up to date," he said.

So what makes Andi, look at this aqiqah business opportunities, while he was a student of the machine?
"My family had a sheep farm, sheep our customers who buy an average is used to show aqiqah, from which the thought why do not I go too aqiqah business, own cattle, selling yourself to make your own (aqiqah cuisine)," he said.
Andi simple business calculation, within a month of not less than 1,000 aqiqah only event in Jakarta alone. "If I take only 2% of the market, is huge," said the man was born January 5, 1989.
"Even today, the farm is unable to meet demand for orders. To meet the demand, I build about 10 sheep farmer groups that spread in Cirebon, Depok, West Java and in other areas," said Andi.
Andi did not close the other party an opportunity to establish cooperation. He claimed to be the business turnover has reached USD 400 million per month "Simple just cooperation, we divide the net profits of 50:50," he concluded.
