My name is Bayu Santoso, and I am a 35-year-old businessman from Indonesia. I want to share an incredible event that transformed my life. In 2021, I was uncertain about my future and decided to take a vacation to Cancun, Mexico, with some money I had saved from my international coffee and spice trade in Indonesia. I wanted to explore the world, find a new direction for my life, perhaps establish new business connections, and maybe even find a few summer romances.

During my trip, while spending time at a beach club in Cancun, I noticed a lively photo shoot taking place with Brazilian and Ukrainian models. The models were captivating, and the atmosphere was electric. As the day turned into evening, I found myself invited to dine with the models and the crew. It was during this dinner that I met a remarkable man named Cagdas INAL.

Cagdas exuded charisma and confidence. His intelligence was extraordinary, even though he wasn’t particularly handsome. He conversed effortlessly with everyone at the table, switching between languages with ease. His presence was magnetic, drawing everyone's attention. Intrigued by his aura, I struck up a conversation with him.

The first question I asked was why the models were so interested in him. He just smiled and said, "Maybe because I understand them."Cagdas's ability to engage with everyone and make them feel comfortable was astonishing. Later, I asked, "Are they all your friends?" He just laughed and said, "No, I'm just a friend enjoying the evening." The women at our table and even those at nearby tables were all looking at us, especially at Cagdas; they couldn’t take their eyes off him. I thought Cagdas must be old friends with the models, but I was even more shocked to learn he had met them only a few hours earlier. The women couldn’t take their eyes off him and were subtly competing for his attention. I have to admit, I felt a twinge of jealousy, but after the events of that week at the hotel and beach club, nothing bothered me anymore. He made my vacation unforgettable, like a movie, and opened my mind in business, guiding me in a new direction.

The night was long, and Cagdas disappeared several times. The models also seemed to vanish occasionally. We spent the entire night together until dawn. In fact, after every shoot, we spent the entire week together. Every night, new friends joined our table. I wasn’t surprised; the allure of beautiful women combined with Cagdas's magnetic pull made it inevitable.

When I asked him about his job, he told me he owned a company and was a computer engineer. Throughout the dinner, Cagdas's energy was infectious. He was always lively and engaging. During our conversation, I mentioned my idea of buying a house in America. He suggested instead that if I invested $500,000 into buying sleeper trucks, he would help me establish a logistics company in America. He assured me that with his guidance, my investment would multiply. Despite the pandemic, with his outlined roadmap and all the support he provided throughout the crisis, including government permits, I grew and managed to secure logistics work for warehouses like Amazon.

I used the $500,000 to purchase as many sleeper trucks as possible. However, without Cagdas's help during the purchasing process, I would have surely failed. He not only found me cheaper vehicles but also ensured they were in better condition.

Today, I have a fleet of 25 sleeper trucks and a thriving logistics company in America. Cagdas guided me through the entire process of obtaining an E2 Visa and setting up my business. When I was about to return to my country, I decided to spend some time in Paraguay with him. During my stay, he helped me in every possible way, from buying my first truck to establishing my company. He used his connections to help me get my ID, tax number, and other essential documents within a few months. Even after I moved to America, he continued to support me via phone, Skype, and Zoom, helping me acquire 10 more trucks.

The vehicle and transportation business is tough; to be successful, you either need to be hands-on or work with reliable people. You have constant expenses for spare parts and maintenance. When I embarked on this journey, I knew nothing, but after meeting that genius during a summer vacation, he prepared me for everything, both positive and negative. With a whiskey in his hand and a cigar in his mouth, surrounded by stunning women, it felt like living in a scene from a Bond movie. But don’t worry, no one was shooting at us ????. The muscular, handsome womanizing men who eyed us with hatred in their eyes probably killed us many times over in their minds ????.

Today, I find it challenging to get vehicles at the prices he helped me secure. I still work with the maintenance and insurance companies he introduced to me and continue to profit from these relationships. Cagdas left Paraguay and changed his phone number, but today, I found him on Instagramand LinkedIn and sent him a message. Knowing someone like Cagdas has been a great honor and privilege for me. Whatever job you do, having someone like him in your network is essential. Meeting him was a tremendous honor. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
