00:00You have a good sales here, let's talk about it, how does Happy Noi help?

00:09Of course, it helps me because of the many learnings that are taught here, Unilever, the cheap ones, and all kinds of distributors.

00:20So the distributors that come here?

00:22Yes, all kinds of distributors.

00:24So Nestle, Unilever, CDO, Century.

00:36What I'm saying is that if you can lower the price of rice, lower the price of crude oil, all of that can go down.

00:44What's happening now is that it's going up and up.

00:48Is our income going up?

00:50No.

00:51Is your husband's salary going up?

00:53No.

00:54What's the problem?

00:56My blood is going up.

01:11What we're going through is so simple.

01:15What are the problems?

01:16So ma'am, I get financial assistance.

01:20But it's better if we lower the price, right?

01:24So that everyone can benefit.

01:26Or free college.

01:28So that the services will be free.

01:30Education, health care.

01:32It really depends on our situation.

01:34Because sometimes, there are laws that add to the discussion.

01:37There's no effect on our lives, right?

01:39At least those two, I know they have an effect on you.

01:42Right?

01:43But there are many more.

01:45But honestly, the price you pay is the number one.

01:49And I know you feel that because you can't sell your product, right?
