"How much is the price of the shirt?" Zulhas asked. "Buy in bulk, just give Rp100,000 wholesale," the merchant replied. Zulhas was slightly surprised by the price of the shirt displayed in front of him and denied the price. "Why is it Rp100,000? Usually it's Rp75,000," said Zulhas. "There is no Rp75,000, sir," added the merchant.

Zulhas switched to another t-shirt model. He pointed to the white t-shirt displayed behind the merchant.

"This white one, how much is it?" asked Zulhas. "It's Rp200,000, sir," said the merchant. Zulhas was shocked to hear that the price of the white shirt was hundreds of thousands. "Huh? Which one is a hundred, just the one hundred," Zulhas switched. "This one is Zara, imported," said the merchant of the shirt. "Don't buy imported products, love domestic products," exclaimed one of the officers.

The seller also released his merchandise stock, showing each of his shirts one by one. Zulhas carefully selected shirts while asking for their respective prices.

"Is there anything for Rp70,000?" Zulhas asked while holding his shirt. "No, sir," the merchant replied. Zulhas was surprised to learn the prices of the items in the largest textile market in Southeast Asia, but he admitted their quality. After selecting a few shirt designs, Zulhas decided to purchase 5 pieces of shirts priced at Rp100,000 each, making his total purchase Rp500,000."

Then Zulhas went to a batik shop that was not far from various t-shirt shops. The batik trader offered batik with good quality to Zulhas.

"Batik Mr. Zul.. Batik" he offered. "How much is it?" asked Zulhas. "Around Rp400,000, sir," replied the merchant. Zulhas was surprised again by the price offered by the batik merchant. "So expensive," exclaimed Zulhas. "It's made of premium materials, sir," said the merchant. "And it is made with a kris pattern," he added."

"How about the people, if the minister says it's expensive," quipped one person in the crowd. While chatting with the merchant about the price of batik and its size. Zulhas happily bought a batik shirt worth Rp125,000. "Alright, buy five, mix the colors," requested Zulhas."

Zulhas also asked about the origin of the batik being sold by the merchant, which apparently was produced by the batik seller themselves. "I produce it myself, only Pekalongan stitching, sir," replied the merchant. Zulhas appreciated the merchant with extraordinary words, and then paid for the batik clothes that he bought. "So, how much is it?" said Zulhas. "So, Rp625,000, sir," replied the merchant while wrapping his merchandise.
