Jadi inget temen saya yang punya bisnis ngasih pendapat tentang kelemahan orang Indonesia dibanding orang Tiongkok dalam berbisnis. < kalau ada orang Tiongkok boleh konfirmasi/bantah ya. 🙏
Orang Indonesia itu FOMO dan bisa "saling bunuh". Musim Es Kepal Milo, semua bikin. Musim Mixue, semua invest. Bulan puasa, semua dagang gorengan dan es buah. Bahkan mereka gak peduli kalau di dekat tempat mereka ada bisnis serupa yang akhirnya menimbulkan persaingan ketat.
Nah, masalahnya bukan ikut tren, tapi eksekusinya yang tanpa diferensiasi dan tanpa perhitungan. Karena, katanya, banyak pelaku bisnis Tiongkok, dan ini jadi alasan bisnis di negara Cina maju pesat, justru bermain lebih strategis dan kolektif. Mereka paham bahwa sustain itu lebih penting daripada menang cepat. Contohnya: kalau si A punya toko ATK dan ada barang yang tidak tersedia, dia tidak ragu mengarahkan pembeli ke toko teman atau relasinya yang juga jual ATK. Meski sama-sama ATK, ada diferensiasi misal yang satu fokus di barang A, toko ATK lain di barang B. Secara jangka pendek mungkin dia kehilangan satu transaksi, tapi secara jangka panjang dia membangun trust dan ekosistem.
Contoh lain, di beberapa komunitas bisnis mereka, ada semacam pembagian peran. Misalnya satu fokus di supply, satu di distribusi, satu di retail. Mereka tidak semua lompat ke posisi yang sama hanya karena sedang “cuan”. Hasilnya, mereka tumbuh bersama, bukan saling menjatuhkan.
Btw, ini bukan berarti semua orang Indonesia seperti itu ya, atau semua orang Tiongkok pasti lebih baik. Tapi pola ini cukup sering terlihat: satu cenderung reaktif dan individual, satu lagi lebih terstruktur dan kolaboratif.
Tapi, bisa jadi pernyataan ini salah juga ya ges. Ini hanya mengaitkan dengan postingan di bawah terkait banyak Mixue yang tutup.
Dan juga karena saya lagi coba mulai wirausaha, jadi butuh pendapat dari yang lebih expert juga. 🙏
🇮🇩🇺🇸🇨🇳 The Iran war is teaching Indonesia a lesson, and the implications could reshape Asian trade forever...
Indonesia's Finance Minister just floated the idea of imposing a toll on ships transiting the Strait of Malacca, explicitly citing Iran's Hormuz strategy as the inspiration:
"If we split it three ways between Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, it could be quite substantial. Our stretch is the largest and the longest."
The Malacca Strait is the most important chokepoint in the world for East Asia.
Middle Eastern oil reaches China, Japan, and South Korea through it.
Global supply chains depend on it.
And China gets 80% of its energy imports through this waterway.
Singapore and Malaysia immediately rejected the idea.
But the genie is out of the bottle.
Iran demonstrated that a single country with coastal missiles and small boats can hold global shipping hostage.
Every nation bordering a chokepoint is now doing the math on whether they could do the same thing.
The strategic picture is clearer than most people realize.
The U.S. signed a cooperation deal with Indonesia during the Iran war.
American military cooperation in the region is expanding.
The first island chain of Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines gives Washington the tools to restrict Chinese access to the Malacca Strait if needed.
Control the chokepoints and you control who gets what resources.
That's the logic Trump is operating on, and Indonesia is watching carefully.
China's dependence on foreign energy through narrow waterways is its greatest strategic vulnerability.
If tensions with the U.S. ever escalate, Washington doesn't need to attack Beijing.
It just needs to control Malacca.
And Indonesia has just publicly signaled it's open to being part of that leverage structure for the right price.
The Iran war may end up reshaping the financial architecture of every global chokepoint, from Hormuz to Malacca to Panama.
