Chapter 76: Pramono
"It's just, Daid, are you from Paris or some other city?" asked Owen, getting interested in David's origins.
"I'm originally from this city," David replied.
"Are you confused as to why you didn't recognize me before this?" David asked after he answered.
Owen's thoughts were easy to guess because usually rich people consisting of a few people knew each other if they were from the same town.
Owen probably doubted whether David was from a rich family or not since he didn't know him. Unless he was too rich to be seen by a rich person like him.
Asked by David, Owen cleared his throat, looking awkward.
"It's only natural that you don't know me because I'm just an ordinary person, don't even have parents, only relying on my older sister who just managed to become a lecturer," David continued, having no problem telling this.
His words naturally made Owen and Luna's expressions strange.
They probably doubted his claim since he was wearing luxury items such as a very expensive watch. If he wasn't rich, how could he afford those luxury items? Unless it was his rich girlfriend who gave it all to him. chapter source m vl _emp-y,r
The last speculation is a bit hard for them to believe because they have the belief that women won't spend their money on their men.
If there was such a woman, it could only be an angel who descended from the sky, especially if the woman's lover was a man from an ordinary family.
"I'm really a commoner," David added as the two's faces showed expressions of uncertainty.
He even smiled wryly at this kind of misunderstanding.
His origins were not something he was ashamed of, so he didn't care if others knew.
Seeing that David did not seem to be lying at all, Owen finally began to believe.
"You must be more extraordinary than I imagined to be able to make Miss Jane fall in love with you even though you're from an ordinary family," he said.
"Even Miss Jane's mother seems to accept you well," he added.
In fact, he wanted to say that Miss Jane's mother was also enamored with you, but he changed his words because of David's eyes which suddenly became rather sharp.
Such a thing did not need to be talked about, it just needed to be tacitly understood.
"Boss Owen, I finally found you!" Suddenly there was a man who was still rather young, coming towards them.
He was actually a man from Southeast Asia in his 25s, having an average appearance with a rather thin body and messy hair.
His skin looked deathly pale, as if he was a sick person. He probably really rarely went out of the house.
His hand carried a rather old laptop, and even his cellphone was an old one, still using buttons.
Owen knitted his brows when he saw him.
"Pramono, I told you I would come to your apartment today, why are you still looking for me?" he said, seemingly annoyed with the man.
Even his girlfriend, Luna, was staring at the man with an unhappy look.
She was clearly unhappy to see someone with such a strong commoner impression near them.
Even she was confused as to why her boyfriend recognized a commoner from Southeast Asia.
Pramono didn't answer Owen's words right away, he looked at Luna first, looking surprised.
"You're Luna, the vocalist of Snow Band, right?" he said, looking amazed.
Luna rolled her eyes at Pramono's words. In Europe, she wasn't really recognized even by people from the same country as her because most of them had lived here for a long time and didn't know things in their home country.
Hence, she was surprised to be recognized by Pramono, but at the same time she felt uncomfortable that Pramono didn't make a good impression on her.
She chose not to answer, and even looked the other way.
If Pramono said she was arrogant, so be it.
His opinion would not interfere with her career, especially since she had a very rich boyfriend from Paris.
Pramono froze at being ignored by Luna. After that, he seemed to sneer.
"Huh!" He snorted coldly but very quietly before looking at Owen again.
He opened his laptop and showed it to Owen.
"The app is fully finished, we just need to release it now, and prepare the initial capital for promotion, I'm sure we'll have great success and then compete with other big social media, even beat them," he said excitedly, much to David's surprise.
There are only a few big social media everywhere, each worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
People can easily create a social media, but even to get one user has immeasurable difficulties.
This man claims his app will beat the big social media, is his concept so amazing that he dares to say that?
At this moment, Owen looked awkward.
"Do you know how much funding is needed for promotion? Not to mention that it's not certain to succeed, even if the certainty is huge, people from my family who are still conservative wouldn't agree to spend big money on an app," he said.
Owen's hesitation is understandable because the funds for the promotion of such a thing are really big.
If only a few million euros are used, the results may not be seen at all.
"Come on, just use 20 or 30 million, we will promote in a region. If it works, we'll look for new investors," Pramono replied.
"Are you crazy?" His words instantly startled Luna, staring at him with wide-open eyes.
She had also asked Owen for funding for her business, but only a few hundred thousand, not even a million. This man actually dared to ask for tens of millions, had he forgotten where he came from?
"It's normal for a startup to need a very large initial fund, 20 or 30 is also considered a little," Pramono replied, glancing at Luna as if asking her to shut up because she didn't know anything.
"Boss Owen, this is your chance to become very rich," he told Owen once again.
Before Owen could say anything, David suddenly asked him, "What kind of app are you making? If it's good, I might be able to help you meet investors who can release unlimited funds."
Pramono didn't pay much attention to David at first, but his words instantly got him excited.
"Look at this, it's an app for sharing short videos," he said, showing David his laptop screen.
"Ohhh..." David showed an interested expression.
