Apakah holding company BUMN merupakan solusi tepat untuk membenahi carut-marutnya pengelolaan BUMN di negeri ini. Atau, justru akan menimbulkan masalah yang lebih besar
(Jawapos, 25 Jan 2004) Pemerintah belum lama ini merencanakan pembentukan satu holding company (induk perusahaan) yang akan memayungi lebih dari 150 BUMN. Struktur pengelola perusahaan induk itu akan diisi manajer profesional. Sistem yang diterapkan juga sistem korporat, sebagaimana yang lazim pada perusahaan bisnis komersil (koran ini, 21/12/2004).
Rencana itu, selain menunjukkan bahwa aspirasi Indonesia Incorporated belum sepenuhnya terkubur dari benak sebagian masyarakat dan pejabat di negeri ini, juga menandakan pergeseran strategi penyehatan BUMN dari privatisasi ke korporatisasi. Dengan privatisasi, pemerintah menyerahkan kepemilikan sebagian atau sepenuhnya kepada masyarakat. Sementara itu, pada korporatisasi -yang biasanya diiringi pembentukan holding perusahaan- pemerintah menyerahkan pengelolaan kepada para profesional. Penerapan mekanisme korporat tetap mempertahankan kepemilikan.
Harapan utama korporatisasi adalah peningkatan kinerja dan tanggung jawab pengelola perusahaan negara, yang selama ini dirasakan belum optimal, meski privatisasi telah dilakukan.
***
Namun, benarkah strategi korporatisasi itu mampu memperbaiki lemahnya tata kelola BUMN? Apakah dengan korporatisasi serta merta terhilangkan keharusan privatisasi lebih lanjut?
Jawaban pertanyaan tersebut amat tegas: tidak. Berikut beberapa argumen yang disintesiskan dari wacana ekonomi dan pengalaman objektif di Indonesia untuk menopang pendapat itu.
Pertama, meski korporatisasi akan memberikan definisi property rights yang lebih tegas pada BUMN, berupa pemisahan batas-batas antara kepemilikan (negara) dan kepengelolaan, di satu sisi, hal itu akan menciptakan iklim lebih kondusif bagi tata kelola perusahaan.
Di sisi lain, pembentukan holding company akan mengakibatkan terpusatnya kendali pertangungjawaban dan pengawasan yang rawan penyelewengan dalam skala lebih besar. Terutama, bila pembentukan lembaga sentral tersebut sejak awal dimotivasi aspirasi politik dan semangat yang jauh dari rasionalitas ekonomi.
Kemungkinan ke arah terakhir itu dapat disimak dari pengalaman pemerintah mendirikan institusi sejenis, Badan Penyehatan Perbankan Nasional (BPPN). Sebab, konsep BPPN tidak jauh berbeda dengan konsep perusahaan induk BUMN yang akan dibentuk, walau memiliki perbedaaan tujuan. Ide dasar kedua badan tersebut adalah pembentukan lembaga super yang menjadi sentral pengelolaan aset negara. Keduanya juga menerapkan mekanisme korporat dan memakai jasa profesional di luar birokrasi pemerintah.
Dalam perjalanannya, BPPN sarat dengan berbagai isu tak sedap, mulai suap, kolusi, penyalahgunaan wewenang, hingga penghamburan uang negara. Mekanisme korporat yang diterapkan berikut strategi mempekerjakan para profesional sama sekali tidak berarti.
Gaji selangit dan fasilitas memadai, bahkan melebihi yang diberikan perusahaan publik papan atas, tidak berbanding lurus dengan kinerja badan tersebut. Itu terlihat dari tingkat recovery rate yang hanya sebesar 28%, bahkan perhitungan lain dari Center for Banking Crisis (CBC) menunjukkan tingkat yang lebih rendah lagi sekitar 1% hingga 2,9%.
Dari situ, korporatisasi terbukti bukan jaminan perbaikan kinerja lembaga yang mengelola aset negara. Sebaliknya, korporatisasi yang diiringi sentralisasi pengelolaan justru bisa mendatangkan kerugian dalam skala yang lebih tidak terperikan.
Kedua, keberhasilan strategi korporatisasi akan sangat bergantung pada kemampuan menciptakan satu struktur reward and punishment, yang setara antara perusahaan negara dan perusahaan publik, sehingga dapat menghapuskan perbedaan insentif yang berkaitan dengan kepemilikan. Sebab, dalam perusahaan yang sahamnya dimiliki publik, terdapat insentif dan pengawasan pasar bagi pengelola untuk meningkatkan nilai aset dan menekan biaya perusahaan.
Sementara itu, pada perusahaan negara, yang kepemilikannya ada pada pemerintah dan pengelola sebatas pekerja yang tidak memiliki klaim terhadap aset serta untung-rugi perusahaan, ada keterbatasan insentif dan pengawasan pemerintah yang megakibatkan rendahnya motivasi pengelola untuk meningkatkan kinerja perusahaan negara.
Dalam praktiknya, sulit bagi pemerintah merancang satu struktur insentif dan pengawasan yang dapat secara penuh menjembatani perbedaaan tersebut. Sebab, ada ketimpangan informasi antara pengelola dan pemerintah, sehingga mustahil diciptakan satu bentuk pengawasan memadai bagi pengelola yang lebih mengetahui isi perusahaan berikut seluk-beluk permasalahannya.
Ketiga, langkah pembentukan perusahaan induk akan menyebabkan munculnya masalah collective action problem (persoalan tindakan kolektif) baru pada beberapa BUMN yang telah diprivatisasi sebagian. Pemegang saham BUMN minoritas akan semata-mata mengandalkan (free ride) pengawasan perusahaan induk, tanpa aktif berpartisipasi dan mengeluarkan biaya.
Dengan kata lain, sebagaimana yang kerap diamati dalam banyak konteks ekonomi, ketika bombardir peran pemerintah menggusur mekanisme alami yang ada, akan terdapat satu efek pendesakan keluar (crowding-out effect) mekanisme pasar dengan pembentukan perusahaan induk BUMN.
Hal itu selain memberatkan beban pemerintah, mengingat tidak mudah dan murah untuk mengawasi BUMN dengan berbagai spefikasi bidang dan lapangan usaha, juga menihilkan berbagai upaya restrukturisasi dan privatisasi parsial yang telah dilakukan. Sebab, bukankah salah satu tujuan restrukturisasi dan privatisasi parsial selama ini ialah menyerahkan sebagian tanggung jawab dan biaya pengawasan kepada pasar?
Terakhir, korporatisasi selain tidak menjamin bebas intervensi, juga menimbulkan permasalahan ekonomi politik baru. Korporatisasi dan pembentukan induk BUMN bisa mengakibatkan terkooptasinya kementerian BUMN dan pihak legislatif (DPR/DPRD) sebagai penetap berbagai perundang-undangan bila tidak diwaspadai.
Fenomena itu dikenal sebagai regulatory capture dan bisa terjadi bila pengelola perusahaan induk, sebagai pihak yang lebih mengetahui duduk persoalan dan detail kondisi BUMN, mampu memanipulasi kalangan birokrat di kementerian BUMN serta pihak legislatif untuk membuat peraturan yang akan menguntungkan tujuan mereka, walau merugikan rakyat dan negara.
Praktik tersebut, setidaknya pada kalangan DPR, berpeluang cukup besar mengingat masih kurangnya lembaga pendukung wacana industri dan BUMN pada anggota legislatif. Selain itu, seperti ditengarai banyak pihak, maraknya budaya amplop dalam berbagai sidang komisi disebabkan rentannya anggota dewan terhadap penyuapan.
Karena itu, patut diduga upaya penyehatan BUMN melalui pembentukan satu lembaga super holding company bukan hanya akan gagal, tapi juga bisa menjerumuskan. Sebab, selain sukar menciptakan satu struktur insentif dan mekanisme pengawasan yang sempurna, juga karena lemahnya institusi pendukung seperti hukum dan politik.
Jadi, bila pemerintah berkeras mengadopsi strategi tersebut, setidaknya proses privatisasi harus tetap dilakukan. Sebab, meski privatisasi mungkin kompleks dan sarat berbagai isu, bila diimplementasikan dengan benar, sejatinya itu masih merupakan solusi paling tepat untuk persoalan BUMN yang masih menjerat.

FESTIVAL DESCRIPTIONS
Spring Festivals:
1st: New Years Day - When you first arrive back at the farm you do not
celebrate New Years Day. You are too busy unpacking. On New Years Day
you have the option of hanging out with the adults or the older children
(girls that you can get to love you and their friends that are boys.)
The adults are at the bar from 7 PM and the younger people are at the
square. I would recommend going to the party of the people who don’t
like you as much so therefore you can get them to like you more.
8th: The Goddess Festival - If a girl has at least a purple heart for
you, you can invite her to the Goddess Festival the day beforehand. If
you invite her she will like you more and after the festival you can
decide to stay with her a bit longer and go somewhere she wants. The
actual festival is just dancing. This festival is held at the square.
14th: The Thanksgiving Festival - Thankfully this festival is one that
allows you to play along like a normal day (meaning that I don’t like
it when it’s a festival and you can’t go inside someone's house to
talk to them or buy anything.) This festival is very over rated. You
give the girls sweets on this festival and they will like the sweets
more than they usually do.
NOTE: I think that some people have a glitch for this. In my version of
the game nothing special happens on The Thanksgiving festival however
one of the readers of my FAQ told me that the Thanksgiving festival
worked fine for them so therefore I probably just had a glitch.
18th: The Local Horse Race - You can’t make your horse participate in
this event in the first year because it isn’t old enough. However even
though your horse can’t participate there is still plenty that you can
actually do in this festival. Betting on horses is great. You can win
so many medals. The best thing you can get from the medals is the
power berry which sells for 1000 medals. There are also many other
great items that you can trade in for medals like the girls gifts
which are all about 40 medals each (remember that basically all the
villagers including guys love girls gifts.) This festival is held at
the square.
22nd: The Cooking Festival - In the cooking festival villagers bring
food to be rated in hope that it will be judged and thought of as the
tastiest dish. I have only ever seen Anne and Doug win this festival.
You can tell who will win the festival seconds before the winner is
announced because the winner always stands in the middle of the crowd
when the winner is about to be announced. In the first year you
probably will not have a kitchen (unless you use my fantastic cheat
mentioned in Chapter 7: Part A - Cheats And Tips Just For H.M.B.T.N)
so therefore the only thing you could possibly bring to be evaluated
is a spa boiled egg. I highly doubt that a spa boiled egg will ever
be good enough to win the festival. This festival is held at the square.
Summer Festivals:
1st: Opening Day - You compete in a swimming contest. If you win this
race you will be able to get a power berry. It is best to have at
least two power berries for this festival. You have to keep mashing
the X button and when your speech bubble face changes and looks more
tired you need to hold the triangle button. Without any power berries
it is possible to come in 3rd but with them you can be a lot better.
There are 5 other competitors in the swimming race. This festival is
held at the beach.
7th: The Chicken Festival - If your chicken loves you a lot then you
definitely should enter your chicken in the chicken festival. In the
chicken festival you can watch sumo chickens trying to scare the other
one out of the ring. Having your chicken love you is handy because if
it doesn’t love you much it won’t obey your order and it might end up
walking right out of the ring. The trick in the first chicken festival
is to press X just after the other chicken has jumped and clucked.
Remember not to press X when your chicken is at the edge of the ring
and facing it because it will walk forward and out of the ring. This
festival is held at the square.
12th: The Tomato Festival - All of the teams will beg you to join them.
Choose a team and the festival will start. The people in the team will
like you more because you chose them out of all of the other villagers.
In the tomato festival you have to throw tomatoes at the other teams but
try to make your team not all get hit by tomatoes because that will make
your team out. You do not get anything from winning except for bragging
rights but it is still a fun little festival. This festival is held at
the square.
20th: The Cow Festival - You can enter an adult cow that isn’t pregnant
into this festival. It will be judged. If your cow really loves you then
you have a chance of winning so enter. If your cow has the maximum amount
of hearts you will definitely win. Make sure you brush your cow, milk
it, and feed it every day and by the next year you will definitely have
an award winning cow. If your cow wins the contest it will be able to make
golden milk which sells for a lot more than the other milk. This festival
is at yodel ranch.
24th: The Fireworks Display - In the night on the fireworks festival you
can watch the fireworks with one of the girls. If a girl has at least a
purple heart for you she will watch the fireworks with you. She will like
you more for inviting her. After the fireworks she might take you out on a
date. If you don’t invite any of the girls the fireworks display will
suddenly start and you will not be alone on the jetty watching them.
In the second year you can get a date with Kai to go to the fireworks
display (see Kai’s section for details.)
This festival is at the beach.
Fall Festivals:
3rd: The Music Festival - I really do not like this festival. The day
beforehand Carter asks you to play in the festival. If you agree to
he will be very grateful and like you more. You have to arrive at
exactly the right time or you will be locked out and Carter will be
disappointed that you didn’t come. You get to sit down and hear a song.
They make Karen sing like an opera singer. In the end of the song you
hear a window crash and birds flying through the window. It is meant
to signify Karen's voice cracking the window. This festival is held in
the church.
9th: The Harvest Festival - In this festival every villager brings
something to put in a big dish for soup. You can bring one item to
throw in the dish. I like fishing in the pot because you can actually
catch things (only bones but still it's entertaining for a while
nevertheless and you get good things for May without it taking up
Harvest Moon time. What you bring will effect what people think of
the soup. If you put something like a chocolate cake or a poisonous
mushroom (MWA HA HAAAAAAAAA) in the stew people will find the taste
strange. If you put in something that would be good for a soup then
people will like the stew. This festival is at the square.
13th: Moon Viewing Day - On this night you can spend time with the girl
that likes you most and view the moon when it is at it’s biggest and
brightest. She will like you more for watching the moon with her.
The events for Moon Viewing Day are at the top of mothers hill.
21st: The Sheep Festival - This festival is basically exactly the
same as the cow festival but with sheep. You can not enter a pregnant
or shaved sheep into the festival. If your sheep loves you as much
as possible you will definitely win the festival. If your sheep wins,
your sheep will be able to give golden wool which sells for more than
normal wool.
Winter Festivals:
10th: The Dog Race - As long as your dog loves you and you have trained
a bit every day with the ball you will win this race. You can bet on
this race and win medals. The prizes from the dog festival are the same
as the ones from the horse festival. In this race you need to run and
your dog will (hopefully) follow you. The trick is to run about as fast
as the dog can a few centimeters/an inch or so in front of him. If your
dog doesn’t love you or you haven’t trained at all it will just ignore
you and not move or even move in the wrong direction. This festival
is held at the square.
14th: Winter Thanksgiving - I love this festival. The girls all give
you gifts if they like you. If you want chocolate from them then you
need them to have a blue heart. If they have a different coloured heart
they will give you something else. To receive all the treats stay
outside of your farm the whole day ( when you visit them they don’t
give you anything strangely enough but when they visit you they give
you things.) When you are married to Karen she will give you chocolate
on Winter thanksgiving with a red heart.
24th: The Star Night Festival - If a girl likes you enough the day
before the star night festival she will invite you to dinner with her
parents.
30th: New Years Party - At the top of mothers hill from 10 PM you will
be able to celebrate New Years Eve with a few of your neighbours.
1st: New Years Day - When you first arrive back at the farm you do not
celebrate New Years Day. You are too busy unpacking. On New Years Day
you have the option of hanging out with the adults or the older children
(girls that you can get to love you and their friends that are boys.)

date. If you don’t invite any of the girls the fireworks display will
suddenly start and you will not be alone on the jetty watching them.
In the second year you can get a date with Kai to go to the fireworks
display (see Kai’s section for details.)
This festival is at the beach.
Fall Festivals:
3rd: The Music Festival - I really do not like this festival. The day
beforehand Carter asks you to play in the festival. If you agree to
he will be very grateful and like you more. You have to arrive at
exactly the right time or you will be locked out and Carter will be
disappointed that you didn’t come. You get to sit down and hear a song.
They make Karen sing like an opera singer. In the end of the song you
hear a window crash and birds flying through the window. It is meant
to signify Karen's voice cracking the window. This festival is held in
the church.
9th: The Harvest Festival - In this festival every villager brings
something to put in a big dish for soup. You can bring one item to
throw in the dish. I like fishing in the pot because you can actually
catch things (only bones but still it's entertaining for a while
nevertheless and you get good things for May without it taking up
Harvest Moon time. What you bring will effect what people think of
the soup. If you put something like a chocolate cake or a poisonous
mushroom (MWA HA HAAAAAAAAA) in the stew people will find the taste
strange. If you put in something that would be good for a soup then
people will like the stew. This festival is at the square.
13th: Moon Viewing Day - On this night you can spend time with the girl
that likes you most and view the moon when it is at it’s biggest and
brightest. She will like you more for watching the moon with her.
The events for Moon Viewing Day are at the top of mothers hill.
21st: The Sheep Festival - This festival is basically exactly the
same as the cow festival but with sheep. You can not enter a pregnant
or shaved sheep into the festival. If your sheep loves you as much
as possible you will definitely win the festival. If your sheep wins,
your sheep will be able to give golden wool which sells for more than
normal wool.
Winter Festivals:
10th: The Dog Race - As long as your dog loves you and you have trained
a bit every day with the ball you will win this race. You can bet on
this race and win medals. The prizes from the dog festival are the same
as the ones from the horse festival. In this race you need to run and
your dog will (hopefully) follow you. The trick is to run about as fast
as the dog can a few centimeters/an inch or so in front of him. If your
dog doesn’t love you or you haven’t trained at all it will just ignore
you and not move or even move in the wrong direction. This festival
is held at the square.
14th: Winter Thanksgiving - I love this festival. The girls all give
you gifts if they like you. If you want chocolate from them then you
need them to have a blue heart. If they have a different coloured heart
they will give you something else. To receive all the treats stay
outside of your farm the whole day ( when you visit them they don’t
give you anything strangely enough but when they visit you they give
you things.) When you are married to Karen she will give you chocolate
on Winter thanksgiving with a red heart.
24th: The Star Night Festival - If a girl likes you enough the day
before the star night festival she will invite you to dinner with her
parents.
30th: New Years Party - At the top of mothers hill from 10 PM you will
be able to celebrate New Years Eve with a few of your neighbours.

Stu - 5th of Fall
Information: He is the grandson of Ellen and his sister is Elli. He
likes showing her bugs and scaring her with them.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Thomas The Mayor - 25th of Summer
Information: Thomas is the bright and usually always cheerful mayor.
Where to find him:
He is usually at his house. He goes to the square on Sundays and the day
before important events.
Likes receiving: Flowers.
Hates receiving: Ore, and rubbish.
His match: No one.
Events:
* On the first Spring on the 16th the mayor asks you to grow three
turnips for him. You have to give them to him at the same time and
the day before the festival or earlier. He likes you more if you do.
If you say you're too busy not only does the mayor like you less
but all the girls do too!
* One day he comes over and asks you to take apple pie from the inn
to Ellen. If you do, not only will the mayor be happy and like you
more Ellen will too!
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

without you seeing him walking to the inn.)
Likes receiving: Anything from the supermarket! He also likes eggs,
flowers and grape juice.
Hates receiving: Weeds, and ore.
His match: No one.
Events:
* There is an event where Harris goes up to you and tells you that
there is an untrustworthy salesman roaming around the village (Won.)
Then Won comes up after Harris leaves and stays at your farm under the
tree for a while. Later some stage Harris can be found at the square
and you can tell him where Won was (which will make Harris like you
more.) Unfortunately after Harris has left Won walks right into the
square so won doesn't get caught. Then go find Harris at Gotz's house.
* Every now and then he tries selling you things. One day he tries
selling you a normal apple for 500G!!! He forces you to buy a ball
from him. Sometimes there is a glitch and he thinks he hasn't sold
you a ball when he has so you'll be forced to pay for an extra ball!
To avoid this carry the ball outside whenever you walk out from your
farm after sleeping. Never buy things he sells in cut scenes (except
for the ball a nice rug, and a vase which you'd never be able to buy
any other way,) because he rips you off in cut scenes. He even tries
selling you a blue feather for 30,000 (incredible rip off).

Jeff Kai Kano Lillia Louis Manna May
Jeff - 29th of Winter
Information: Jeff is the man at the supermarket that 'always has a
stomach.' He is rather passive. He loves painting and in the Gamecube
version of Harvest Moon there is a picture which he painted. He's
one of my favourite characters.
Where to find him:
Unless it is a Tuesday or a Sunday he is always at his supermarket.
On Tuesdays and Sundays he is either inside with the door locked or
at the clinic.
Likes receiving: He really likes it when you give him medicine. He
also likes spa boiled eggs and flowers.
Hates receiving: Weeds, and ore.
His match: He is married to Sasha. He has loved her since he was a
teenager but often gets into fights with her.
Events:
* One day Jeff goes on a sale (he doesn't offer you anything cheaper
though) out of happiness. The villagers think it is because he is
having problems with his bills due to their not paying and think he
is going to close down. Many villagers pay back everything that they
owe him. Jeff is really happy. Jeff has to like you for this event
to happen.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Kai - 22nd of Summer
Information: Kai is the villager every male villager loves to hate.
The females all like him though.
Where to find him:
From 1 - 5 PM you can find him at the beach outside. Before then he
is inside the white hut which you can't enter.
From 7:30 PM onwards he will be at the inn.
Likes receiving: He really likes it when you give him wine, flowers,
and girls gifts. He likes eggs, and popcorn.
Hates receiving: Spa boiled eggs, ore, and natural resources.
His match: If you don't marry Popuri he will.
Events:
* See Popuri's section.
* When you first go to the inn in Summer you will see Kai. Duke and
Rick fighting with Kai and will say they don't want him at the inn.
They will ask what you think. You can either say Kai's wrong and make
Rick and Duke like you more but Kai to not like you as much and to be
annoyed. If you say, "you're both wrong” meaning that Duke and Rick
are wrong. Kai will be grateful and like you more. Rick will kind of
understand the way you feel.
* If you plant corn Kai will ask you if you can give him some. You
can either give it to him for free, discounted, or for the normal
price. If you give him it for free he'll like you more. Annoyingly
enough the game does this any time when you get corn and sometimes the
only way you can give Kai corn is to cut down a side corn and give
him one from the middle.
* You can possibly go out on a date with Kai!!! This only works if Kai
likes you. The day before the fireworks festival in the second year
(it may work in the first year if you are friends with him) talk to
Kai. He will say that there is nothing good to do in the village. You
can invite him to go to the fireworks festival. Then on the night
Popuri will come over and ask who Kai is watching the fireworks with.
He will tell her he's watching them with your character. Popuri will
be relieved. You'll try going to the beach but Rick will fight with
Kai and yell at him about seeing the fireworks. You and Kai will have
to watch the fireworks somewhere else. Kai will like you more for
staying with him.
* The day after a hurricane when you walk to the beach you will
pick up a bottle. Kai will be interested in it. He will ask if you
are going to stay in the village. If you tell him, “yes forever” he
will give you a ‘love potion.’ It is perfume that you can give to a
girl and she really likes it but I liked just showing it around to
the villagers first. If you say you'll leave you can keep the bottle
and he'll like you slightly more but I prefer just getting the
perfume.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Kano - 2nd of Winter

Where to find him:
He's around where Gotz is. If Gotz is outside his house Louis is
inside.
Likes receiving: He really likes it when you give him honey. He also
likes flowers.
Hates receiving: Ore, and weeds.
His match: None.
Events:
* About three days after you give him honey he will go to your farm
and look at your bees. He will realize that the bees you have are very
rare and the ones he has been desperately wanting to find. He will
tell Zack how rare the honey is and you will get more money for your
honey (normally 40g now 60g.)
B.T.W. in case you're wondering how you get honey you plant a few
flowers in your farm and it will attract bees. You only need about
2 bags of fully grown flowers in your farm at the same time (meaning
don't grow one bag in Summer and one in Fall) and bees will stay at
your farm forever. You don't even have to keep growing flowers for
them to stay!

Tell her that when she's older you'd be with her. She gets happy. Stu
says he's angry with you and storms into the church. Then when you go
into the church Stu and May start fighting. Pastor Carter breaks up

Information: Jeff is the man at the supermarket that 'always has a
stomach.' He is rather passive. He loves painting and in the Gamecube
version of Harvest Moon there is a picture which he painted. He's
one of my favourite characters.
Where to find him:
Unless it is a Tuesday or a Sunday he is always at his supermarket.
On Tuesdays and Sundays he is either inside with the door locked or
at the clinic.
Likes receiving: He really likes it when you give him medicine. He
also likes spa boiled eggs and flowers.
Hates receiving: Weeds, and ore.
His match: He is married to Sasha. He has loved her since he was a
teenager but often gets into fights with her.
Events:
* One day Jeff goes on a sale (he doesn't offer you anything cheaper
though) out of happiness. The villagers think it is because he is
having problems with his bills due to their not paying and think he
is going to close down. Many villagers pay back everything that they
owe him. Jeff is really happy. Jeff has to like you for this event
to happen.

Kai - 22nd of Summer
Information: Kai is the villager every male villager loves to hate.
The females all like him though.
Where to find him:
From 1 - 5 PM you can find him at the beach outside. Before then he
is inside the white hut which you can't enter.
From 7:30 PM onwards he will be at the inn.
Likes receiving: He really likes it when you give him wine, flowers,
and girls gifts. He likes eggs, and popcorn.
Hates receiving: Spa boiled eggs, ore, and natural resources.
His match: If you don't marry Popuri he will.
Events:
* See Popuri's section.
* When you first go to the inn in Summer you will see Kai. Duke and
Rick fighting with Kai and will say they don't want him at the inn.
They will ask what you think. You can either say Kai's wrong and make
Rick and Duke like you more but Kai to not like you as much and to be
annoyed. If you say, "you're both wrong” meaning that Duke and Rick
are wrong. Kai will be grateful and like you more. Rick will kind of
understand the way you feel.
* If you plant corn Kai will ask you if you can give him some. You
can either give it to him for free, discounted, or for the normal
price. If you give him it for free he'll like you more. Annoyingly
enough the game does this any time when you get corn and sometimes the
only way you can give Kai corn is to cut down a side corn and give
him one from the middle.
* You can possibly go out on a date with Kai!!! This only works if Kai
likes you. The day before the fireworks festival in the second year
(it may work in the first year if you are friends with him) talk to
Kai. He will say that there is nothing good to do in the village. You
can invite him to go to the fireworks festival. Then on the night
Popuri will come over and ask who Kai is watching the fireworks with.
He will tell her he's watching them with your character. Popuri will
be relieved. You'll try going to the beach but Rick will fight with
Kai and yell at him about seeing the fireworks. You and Kai will have
to watch the fireworks somewhere else. Kai will like you more for
staying with him.
* The day after a hurricane when you walk to the beach you will
pick up a bottle. Kai will be interested in it. He will ask if you
are going to stay in the village. If you tell him, “yes forever” he
will give you a ‘love potion.’ It is perfume that you can give to a
girl and she really likes it but I liked just showing it around to
the villagers first. If you say you'll leave you can keep the bottle
and he'll like you slightly more but I prefer just getting the
perfume.

rare and the ones he has been desperately wanting to find. He will
tell Zack how rare the honey is and you will get more money for your
honey (normally 40g now 60g.)
B.T.W. in case you're wondering how you get honey you plant a few
flowers in your farm and it will attract bees. You only need about
2 bags of fully grown flowers in your farm at the same time (meaning
don't grow one bag in Summer and one in Fall) and bees will stay at
your farm forever. You don't even have to keep growing flowers for
them to stay!

Tell her that when she's older you'd be with her. She gets happy. Stu
says he's angry with you and storms into the church. Then when you go
into the church Stu and May start fighting. Pastor Carter breaks up

to someone (the ladies love them) or sell it for 1000g!!!

Greg - 29th of Spring
Information: Greg is the fisher.
Where to find him:
The only place he ever hangs out is the beach.
From Friday - Sunday about 7:30 PM - 10 he is at the very end of the
jetty fishing.
On the weekends you can see him in the morning fishing too sometimes
until about 11 AM.
Likes receiving: Fish (of course) although he doesn't like the little
fish because you can't cook anything with them.
Hates receiving: Rubbish, and ore.
His match: No one.
Events:
* When you first talk to Greg he will ask you if you like fishing. If
you say, “yes” he will give you a fishing rod.
* Once you have at least 50 fish in your pond Greg comes over and says,
"whoa that's a lot of fish" and give you the fishing pole which is a
better version of the fishing pole. Your chances of catching fish
increases.
NOTE: getting 50 fish isn't that hard if you know this: When you catch
fish put them in the pond and make sure you feed them every day.
When you feed them it makes sure the fish don't die and your fish
multiply. Also the beach is not the best place to fish. Fishing by
the mini river on the bridge gives you such a better chance of
catching fish. Just before winter take out the fish in the pond and
put them in the fridge. In winter the pond is frozen over so put the
fish in the fridge instead of the pond. Then when winter is over put
the fish from the fridge into the pond and they will still be alive
(strangely enough.)

eerie shadow being found. I won't explain what the shadow is of

* The first time you walk into the inn in the second year you will
hear about a thief who has sneaked into the inn and keeps eating
