Kisah H Endang Buat Jembatan Perahu Viral Beromzet Rp 25 Juta/Hari
Mendapat pemasukan lewat jembatan perahu sampai Rp 25 juta per hari terkesan mudah. Tapi pembangunan jembatan perahu viral di Karawang milik H Endang ini butuh waktu panjang dan biaya yang tidak murah.
"Saya pertama bikin 2010, pakai perahu kayu dieret. Tujuannya bantu-bantu warga nyeberang," tutur H Endang dalam program Viral di detikcom.
Perahu eretan yang menghubungkan Desa Anggadita dengan Desa Parung Mulya di Karawang, Jawa Barat, itu ternyata diminati orang. H Endang pun menambah perahunya menjadi dua.
Seiring perjalanan waktu, H Endang memutar otaknya untuk memenuhi tuntutan pengguna perahu eretannya yang semakin banyak. Maklum saja, jalur alternatif ini menghemat waktu perjalanan sampai 20 menit.
"Secara otodidak timbul ide sendiri dengan perahu dijejerin," tutur pria yang tidak lulus SMP ini.
Karena punya kenalan yang bekerja di bank, H Endang pun meminjam uang untuk mewujudkan rencananya dengan jaminan sertifikat tanah. Namun perahu kayu yang dijadikan landasan pelat besi ternyata punya kendala jika sampah eceng gondok lewat.

"Pernah beberapa kali kejadian sampai perahu terbawa arus. Karena pada saat itu kan perahu kayu cuma pakai baut. Akhirnya bautnya lepas," kenang H Endang.
H Endang pun meminjam uang ke bank kedua kalinya untuk mengganti perahunya dengan besi sampai saat ini. Dia dibantu 40 orang karyawannya untuk menjaga operasional jembatan perahu miliknya.
The story of H Endang for a Viral Boat Bridge with a turnover of Rp. 25 million / day
Earning income from the boat bridge of up to Rp. 25 million per day seems easy. But the construction of the viral boat bridge in Karawang, owned by H Endang, takes a long time and costs a lot.
"I made it for the first time in 2010, using a wooden dieret boat. The goal was to help people crossing the river," said H Endang in the Viral program on detikcom.
The sledding boat that connects Anggadita Village with Parung Mulya Village in Karawang, West Java, turned out to be of great interest to people. H Endang also added two more boats.
Over time, H Endang racked his brains to meet the demands of the increasing number of sledding boat users. Understandably, this alternative route saves up to 20 minutes of travel time.
"I was self-taught and came up with my own ideas with boats lined up," said the man who did not graduate from junior high school.
Because he has an acquaintance who works at a bank, H Endang borrows money to realize his plan, guaranteed by a land certificate. However, the wooden boat that was used as the basis for the iron plate turned out to have problems if water hyacinth trash passed by.
"There have been several incidents where the boat was carried away by the current. Because at that time, wooden boats only used bolts. Finally the bolts came off," recalls H Endang.
H Endang also borrowed money from the bank for the second time to replace his boat with iron until now. He is assisted by 40 of his employees to maintain the operation of his boat bridge.
