Dji Sam Soe Legenda Rokok Indonesia

RUMAH kuno itu tak lagi berpenghuni. Pagarnya tertutup seng. Ketika didatangi Tempo tiga pekan lalu, tampak empat petugas bergantian menjaga rumah. Di rumah inilah Liem Seeng Tee, pendiri HM Sampoerna, mengawali sejarah pada 1927.
Beralamat di Jalan Ngaglik, Surabaya, rumah ini—selain menjadi tempat tinggal—dulunya berfungsi sebagai gudang tembakau dan pabrik rokok. Selama lima tahun Seeng Tee menguji berbagai campuran rempah dan cengkeh di rumah ini. Dji Sam Soe salah satu produknya. Dari rumah ini pula Dji Sam Soe mulai diproduksi secara masif.

Formula rokok ini dibuat 15 tahun sebelumnya, saat Seeng Tee masih bekerja di pabrik rokok kecil di Lamongan. Tugasnya kala itu meracik dan melinting rokok. Belakangan, racikannya menjadi cikal-bakal formula Dji Sam Soe.
Penghasilannya di pabrik ditabung untuk menyewa warung di Jalan Cantian Pojok—kini Jalan Pabean Cantian, Surabaya. Berukuran empat meter persegi, beratap ilalang dan bertiang bambu, warung tanpa dinding ini menjual aneka makanan dan minuman. Replika warung itu kini dapat dilihat di House of Sampoerna di Jalan Taman Sampoerna, Surabaya.

Hidup Seeng Tee tidak cuma bersandar dari warung. Ia dan istrinya, Tjiang Nio, mencampurkan rempah-rempah, seperti cokelat, vanili, pala, kayu manis, dan cengkeh, ke dalam tembakau. Campuran ini dilinting dengan tangan menjadi rokok.

Berbekal sepeda onthel, pria kelahiran Provinsi Hokkian, Cina daratan, itu berkeliling Surabaya berjualan rokok. Oleh Tjiang Nio, perempuan yang dinikahinya pada 1912, uang hasil usaha itu disimpan di dalam tiang bambu penyanggarumah. Sebagian tabungan digunakan kembali untuk membeli tembakau. Agar usahanya berkibar, Seeng Tee membentuk badan hukum Handel Maatschappij Liem Seeng Tee pada 1913. Nama ini kemudian menjadiPT Handel Maatschappij Sampoerna— setelah perang kemerdekaan usai, namanya berubah menjadi PT Hanjaya Mandala Sampoerna.
Pemilihan kata Sampoerna, kata Elvira Lianita, Manajer External Communication PT HM Sampoerna, memiliki dua makna. Kata itu merupakan ejaan dari kata ”sempurna”. Kedua, kata ”sampoerna” berjumlah sembilan huruf. ”OrangCina percaya sembilan merupakan angka keberuntungan,” katanya.Kemasan Dji Sam Soe memang sarat dengan angka sembilan. Berasal dari bahasa Hokkian, Dji Sam Soe berarti dua, tiga, dan empat. Bila dijumlahkan, hasilnya sembilan. Logo kemasan berupa sembilan bintang.
DARI Ngaglik, Seeng Tee pindah ke kawasan Jembatan Merah pada 1932. Ia membeli bangunan milik Jongens Weezen Inrichting, yayasan panti asuhan milik pemerintah kolonial Belanda. Di atas lahan 1,5 hektare, pabrik sekaligus tempat tinggal dibangun pada 1864. Sejak enam tahun lalu, gedung itu berfungsi sebagai Museum House of Sampoerna.
Sejak itu, usaha Seeng Tee makin moncer. Dengan 1.300 karyawan, produksi pada 1940 menembus 3 juta batang per minggu. Menurut Hermawan Kartajaya, Yuswohady, dan Sumardy dalam buku 4-G Marketing: A 90-year Journey of Creating Everlasting Brands, Dji Sam Soe bahkan pernah menjadi ”mata uang” pedagang masa itu karena nilainya lebih stabil ketimbang mata uang resmi. Permintaannya membeludak. Agen harus menunggu dua-tiga minggu untuk memperoleh pesanan.
Usaha rokok Seeng Tee berantakan setelah Jepang masuk pada 1942. Ia ditahan dan menjalani kerja paksa di Jawa Barat dan Jawa Tengah. Pabriknya digunakan buat memproduksi rokok merek Fuji untuk tentara Jepang. Beruntung, seluruh keluarganya selamat dalam persembunyian. Seusai perang, pabrik dalam kondisi porakporanda. Harta keluarga dan perusahaan dirampas Jepang. Satu-satunya aset cuma merek dagang Dji Sam Soe. Seeng Tee berusaha menata kembali usahanya. Berkat merek ini, mitra bisnis Seeng Tee kembali berdatangan. Mereka menyuplai cengkeh, tembakau, dan bahan baku lain.
Perlahan-lahan Dji Sam Soe kembali berkibar. Pada 1949, pabrik sudah pulih seperti semula. Situasi ini cuma berlangsung hingga 1956. Setelah Seeng Tee meninggal pada tahun itu, Sampoerna jeblok. Mesin pelinting tidak beroperasi. Pekerja tidak mencapai 150 orang. Tiga tahun kemudian, pabrik ditutup karena paili
RODA bisnis keluarga Sampoerna kembali bergerak setelah Liem Swie Hwa, putra tertua Seeng Tee, meminta adiknya, Liem Swie Ling—yang telah membuka perusahaan rokok merek Penamas di Bali—memindahkan perusahaan rokoknya ke Malang pada 1965. Di tengah kuatnya arus rokok putih di pasar, Swie Ling berkonsentrasi membesarkan kembali Dji Sam Soe.
Swie Ling alias Aga Sampoerna memulai dari nol: membeli tembakau secara tunai, menjual rokok dengan tunai, dan membangun perusahaan berdasarkan arus kas harian. Nama besar Dji Sam Soe menjadi penyelamat. Agen kembali berdatangan.

Dalam 12 tahun, pabrik kian berkembang. Karyawan lebih dari 1.200, dengan produksi 1,3 juta batang rokok per hari. Ia berpedoman tidak boleh ada rokok menginap di pabrik meski sebagai persediaan. Produksi hari itu harus dijual hari itu juga. Hasilnya, Dji Sam Soe untung US$ 200 ribu per bulan.
Pada 1977, Aga mulai melibatkan Putera Sampoerna, anak bungsunya. Salah satu terobosan Putera adalah meniadakan agen dari rantai distribusi. Ia membuat fasilitas produksi terpadu seluas 153 hektare di Sukorejo, Jawa Timur, dan membeli tembakau langsung dari petani. Ia juga mengubah usaha menjadi perusahaan terbuka. Hasilnya, penjualan Dji Sam Soe meroket dari 21 juta batang per minggu pada 1980 menjadi 64 juta batang per minggu pada 1991. Pada 2000, penjualan Dji Sam Soe menembus 18,9 miliar batang per tahun. ”Merek ini tulang punggung perusahaan,” kata Eka Darmajanto Kasih, orang dekat keluarga Sampoerna.
Kunci keberhasilan penjualan, kata Eka, terletak pada konsistensi perusahaan dalam mengkomunikasikan kualitas merek ke pelanggan.
Alhasil, citra yang tertancap di pelanggan selalu sama. ”Ini menciptakan loyalitas konsumen,” kata bekas Chief Financial Officer HM Sampoerna itu. Tradisi angka sembilan juga dipertahankan. Mobil Rolls-Royce milik Aga, misalnya, berpelat nomor SL-234. Semua mobil pabrik di Sukorejo dan Rungkut memakai pelat nomor yang bila dijumlahkan hasilnya sembilan. Luas tanah di pabrik Sukorejo hasilnya sembilan. Penjumlahan saham Sampoerna ke publik juga sembilan.
Empat tahun lalu, saat berada di puncak, Putera melepas 40 persen saham HM Sampoerna—induk Dji Sam Soe—ke Philip Morris. Kapitalisasi pasarnya ketika itu US$ 5 miliar. Perusahaan Amerika Serikat yang terkenal dengan merek Marlboro itu merogoh kocek US$ 2 miliar.

”Tak cuma membeli saham, Philip juga membeli merek dan budaya perusahaan,” kata (almarhum) Anky Camaro, bekas Presiden Komisaris HM Sampoerna, ketika itu.

Menebak Kepribadian dari Pilihan Kopi

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — Secangkir kopi tidak hanya sekadar buih dan gula yang mengendap di dasarnya. Karakter dan kepribadian Anda dapat tecermin di sana. Dua pakar bahasa tubuh asal Australia, Judi James dan James Moore, mengklaim bahwa selera dan pilihan kopi seseorang sebenarnya dapat mengandung makna tertentu.

Menurut mereka, selera kafein dapat mengungkap banyak hal, seperti kepercayaan diri, tingkat stres, dan bahkan kehidupan seksual. Berikut ini uraiannya seperti yang tercukil dalam buku The You Code

.

Peminum "espresso": Mereka yang suka kopi ini cenderung moody, tegar, dan pekerja keras. Mereka juga suka menjadi pemimpin dan mengejar tujuan. Mereka  bisa jadi seorang pasangan yang berpengalaman dan menyenangkan, tetapi kesetiaannya belum tentu bisa diandalkan.

Peminum "black coffee": Tipe orang ini sungguh minimalis dan tanpa ornamen. Dia menerapkan pendekatan langsung dalam hidupnya. Peminum kopi ini bisa jadi pendiam dan moody, tetapi kadang kala juga bisa menjadi sangat terbuka pada orang lain.

Peminum "latte": Secara tipikal, mereka adalah metroseksual. Peminum latte ingin menyenangkan orang lain dan sangat ingin disukai. Dengan memilih minuman hitam dan berbahaya kemudian mengubahnya menjadi minuman nyaman bercampur susu, James dan Moore bilang bahwa peminum latte mengakui bahwa mereka memiliki sisi ketidakmatangan walaupun ingin maju sebagai penantang.

Peminum "cappuccino": Seperti halnya yang mereka minum, penggemar cappuccino tidak penting seperti halnya buih dan gelembung, bosan dengan detail, tetapi tidak terobsesi dengan hal-hal material. Peminum cappuccino menikmati seks, tetapi mudah bosan dengan pasangan yang kurang imajinatif.

Peminum "instant coffee": Mereka ini tipe orang yang menyenangkan, langsung ke tujuan, suka tertawa, dan hidup dengan slogan "Jika tidak rusak, tak perlu diperbaiki". Peminum instant coffee bisa jadi hanya memiliki karier yang datar-datar saja dan harus melihat orang lain untuk melihat ke dalam apa yang tersembunyi dalam kepribadian mereka. Hal yang bukan omong kosong dari peminum instant coffee adalah alergi terhadap perilaku berpura-pura dan mereka tetap memakai kaus kaki saat melakukan seks."

Peminum "decaf soy milk": Mereka adalah tipe orang yang maunya benar sendiri, sok peduli lingkungan, pencari perhatian dengan kecenderungan pilih-pilih, rewel, dan gampang jijik. Selain itu, pilihan palsu ini menyiratkan sebuah kesombongan, tipe high-maintenance yang mendambakan sesuatu yang tidak dapat mereka peroleh dan merasa ragu dengan kepribadian mereka sebenarnya.

Peminum "frappuccino": Tidak karuan dan dangkal, peminum frappuccino akan mencoba apa pun sekali saja, terutama jika seorang selebriti lebih dulu melakukannya. Mereka senang memosisikan diri sebagai trend setter, tetapi mereka memberi kesan bahwa mereka adalah seseorang yang lebih mementingkan gaya ketimbang hal substansial  Hubungan asmara peminum frappuccino sering kali berlangsung seperti selera mereka.

Tidak suka kopi: Sungguh disayangkan, keputusannya tidak bagus. Menurut James dan Moore, takut minum kopi sama dengan takut akan hidup. Jika rasa kopi membuat Anda takut, maka Anda benar-benar seorang yang kekanak-kanakan, dan inilah saatnya untuk bergabung dengan dunia yang terus tumbuh!

Nyethe : Cigarette drawing tradition with Coffee

. Nyethe is an activity to draw or paint on a cigarette with coffee grounds to use the media in the Java language called cethe.That's why this activity called nyethe.  Based on stories by word of mouth, a habit is actually nyethe initiated by the farmers who run out of coffee while wedang a break after working in the fields. I Wife who usually eat and wedang sent into the fields to coffee farmers.  If then the coffee has been delivered while coffee is still not satisfied, then the applying farmers apply cethe or coffee grounds into cigarettes and then smoked.  There is also the opinion cethe origins began when the farmers finished work from the fields, their habits will stop at the shop for coffee and meet other fellow farmers to just mingle and discuss issues surrounding their farm. . While coffee and chatting, the occasional cigarette at the suction smeared with coffee grounds in the cup. 

The coffee was not as smooth as now existing or rough.. Deposition   to cigarettes and burning sensation caused its own.   This added to the joy of coffee while chatting in a coffee shop. The story above is considered as the beginning of what makes nyethe as typical of the Regency Tulungagung which until now still remain and have become custom.

 Initially, nyethe known only in Tulungagung, East Java alone. . This habit then it spread to other areas such as in Malang, Kediri, Surabaya and other cities.  Nyethe activities that caused this was not even familiar to people outside Tulungagung District. Even many who thought such activities do not come from Tulungagung because of the many coffee shops outside Tulungagung District.

 At the current development, nyethe not only be done when the coffee was gone and the glass of his only remaining course cethe.  But a cup of hot coffee wedang accidentally poured into the saucer or pengalas glass.  A few minutes later, the water in the glass pengalas returned again to the cup.  If cethe still too wet, a few sheets of scrap paper square paper placed on top of it, to absorb the water.  Blackish brown Cethe apparent later this dioles-apply to cigarettes that would suck. . And in cethe it can be, for then nyethe. The people who often argued with nyethe in cethe, cigarettes taste better assessed and aromatic appeal. In addition to providing a fresh scent, cethe also believed to make cigarettes more durable, not otherwise needed, and much more delicious.

The number of self-employed workers in Tulungagung growing number of vendors supporting the coffee shop in this city.  According to data from the current  Tulungagung Gover ment cethe number reaches 1700 stall stall.  We have a well-known nyethe shop, shop that provides exclusively for this purpose.Among them is Waris Warkop and Mak Tin, Warkop Pak Sigit, behind the market square Pahing, Warkop Yani, and Chandra warmus tone. Price cethe glass coffee is very cheap, only Rp 1000, -.

Cethe proprietor provides in-saucer saucer to facilitate the cethe opinion .So that visitors stay to stem spread cethe cigarette. The penyethe any cethe applied to cigarettes as are batik with various motives, ranging from the form lines, a circle, a butterfly, batik to black. In order taken coffee grounds good, it must be ensured that the fine residue left on the saucer been silenced for a moment.  The goal for this coffee grounds thickened without water. . The seller must use a fine coffee powder and milk are sometimes given to a good level of adhesiveness of the painting.   While painting is a tool of their own matches. NNyethe really need accuracy, but it also trains nyethe patience.

 Social interactions of Nyethe activities:
            Social interaction is defined as a social behavior that is always in the framework of such groups in the structure and function of social groups. . Also, social interaction is a relationship between two or more human individuals where one individual behavior change or improve the behavior of other individuals or vice vers. Of social interaction can be drawn conclusions about aspects of social interaction that is the individual, the purpose, the relationship between individuals and groups, and the relationship with the structure and function of the group.
            Based on this definition, nyethe have in common that could be the basis for the claim that the activities are nyethe elements of social interaction. The similarity is more activity rather than by individual groups, such as sitting and chatting in groups nyethe.
            There are four types of social interaction that is komensialisme, parasialisme, mutualism, and sosiality. Dari keempat jenis interaksi sosial ini, kegiatan nyethe masuk dalam kategori mutualisme dan sosiality. Of the four types of social interaction, activities fall into the category nyethe mutualism and sosiality.
            Mutualism is the social interaction mutually beneficial for both ,In this nyete activities benefit all parties in accordance with the role and purpose of each of the parties involved in these activities. .
