  1. 0:00I went to Antalya with 50 lira in my
  2. 0:02pocket. What was I going to do? I was
  3. 0:04going to start a company that provided
  4. 0:06staff to hotels. Consulting, human
  5. 0:07resources, subcontracting. As they call
  6. 0:10it there, an "extras" company. I stayed
  7. 0:13for two days. After sleeping on
  8. 0:14Cleopatra Beach and in Cartta Curt,
  9. 0:16there's a tea garden there. It's still
  10. 0:17there. I went and sat down. I called
  11. 0:19the waiter. I said, "Brother, I need
  12. 0:22someone who loves money." He said, "Sir
  13. 0:26, there's someone, he'll come, I'll let
  14. 0:28you know." I said, "Okay, I have 50
  15. 0:31lira, bring me tea until it's finished.
  16. 0:33" Tea was only 20 lira anyway. Two cups
  17. 0:34of tea. Thankfully, the kid didn't even
  18. 0:36take the money. An hour later, he said,
  19. 0:38"Sir, he's here." We sat down. I
  20. 0:41explained the situation. I said, "
  21. 0:44You'll make great money, but in six
  22. 0:45months, the office and the car will be
  23. 0:47mine. You'll get your money and leave."
  24. 0:50He agreed. We started as partners. At
  25. 0:58the same time, I called my other
  26. 1:00partner from Ankara. I said, "Come on,
  27. 1:02let's start the project." He didn't
  28. 1:03have any money either. He was also
  29. 1:05finished. We're a family of complete
  30. 1:06failures, you know. He had a real
  31. 1:09estate office. I immediately hired
  32. 1:12employees. I hired two female employees
  33. 1:14. I told them, "You'll call hotels.
  34. 1:17You'll arrange meetings with human
  35. 1:19resources and managers. I'll go and
  36. 1:22meet with them too. I'll market myself.
  37. 1:24I'll explain the job." It was right
  38. 1:25around the time the Russian plane
  39. 1:27crashed. Tourism was in turmoil, and
  40. 1:30hotels weren't hiring their own staff.
  41. 1:32They were trying to get by with
  42. 1:35temporary workers from outside. I did
  43. 1:38some research, and it worked. Then we
  44. 1:42secured the first hotel. We agreed on
  45. 1:4567 lira a day, 67.75. I can remember
  46. 1:50the past because of the medication.
  47. 1:5267.75 was the daily rate for one
  48. 1:54employee. That included insurance and
  49. 1:57our profit. We started with just 12
  50. 2:01employees. We increased it over time.
  51. 2:04Then came the second hotel, the third
  52. 2:06hotel, and so on. We gave that
  53. 2:08profit-sharing partner his share of the
  54. 2:09profit. We bought his office. He also
  55. 2:12had a car. We bought his car too. He
  56. 2:13received all his money legally and
  57. 2:15officially. He left the partnership.
  58. 2:17The profit-sharing. Because he made
  59. 2:18good money from us. We finished the
  60. 2:21season. What did we have? A car, an
  61. 2:23office. Great. Everything was great. We
  62. 2:26returned to Ankara. Brother, our
  63. 2:27families are here. My mother and sister
  64. 2:29are here. His family is here. We said,
  65. 2:32let's do this in Ankara too. We saw
  66. 2:35that these kinds of things happen in
  67. 2:37hotels, for New Year's Eve and
  68. 2:39Valentine's Day. We went out and
  69. 2:41contacted hotels. We started. We
  70. 2:43immediately secured hotels. We got
  71. 2:45through the winter nicely, without
  72. 2:47going broke. In February, we went into
  73. 2:50tourism. We needed to open the season.
  74. 2:52Because in April and March, there's the
  75. 2:55Iranian Nowruz. They flock to Antalya.
  76. 2:59Since the hotels aren't fully open,
  77. 3:02they're opening them with outsourced
  78. 3:04staff. So, when you get into tourism,
  79. 3:07you learn everything, my friends. We
  80. 3:11went and made a deal with a very nice
  81. 3:13hotel. Specifically, with the cleaning
  82. 3:15department, we had a lump-sum contract
  83. 3:17with materials. We provided the
  84. 3:19cleaning supplies–soap, slippers,
  85. 3:22everything. The first month went well;
  86. 3:28we worked hard and received our
  87. 3:28payments. We issued our invoice on the
  88. 3:295th of the month. We paid the staff,
  89. 3:31made our social security contributions,
  90. 3:32and issued invoices with withholding
  91. 3:33tax. Because we issued invoices with
  92. 3:36withholding tax, we don't have any VAT
  93. 3:37issues. A withholding tax invoice means
  94. 3:41I issue you an invoice, and you pay the
  95. 3:44rest. I only pay 1%to the government.
  96. 3:47So there's no question of VAT evasion
  97. 3:50or accumulating tax debt. There's only
  98. 3:53one nuance: because we agreed on a
  99. 3:55lump-sum contract, we receive invoices
  100. 3:58for materials–cleaning supplies, soap
  101. 4:00, slippers, etc. Anyway, I've already
  102. 4:02explained all this. The first month, we
  103. 4:05received our money, it was good. The
  104. 4:07second month, we completed the 350-
  105. 4:08person staff. Everything was fine. We
  106. 4:10issued our invoice at the end of the
  107. 4:11month. It was the 5th of the month, and
  108. 4:13we hadn't received payment. We said we
  109. 4:14would get it. They said the accounting
  110. 4:16manager was abroad. We'll get it. We
  111. 4:19told the staff it would be a few days
  112. 4:21late. Okay, the 10th came and we still
  113. 4:22hadn't received it. We somehow managed
  114. 4:24to pay the staff's salaries on the 15th
  115. 4:26ourselves. We paid the insurance. We
  116. 4:30were left penniless. We thought, at
  117. 4:32least the employees are still working
  118. 4:33at the hotel. And on top of that, we
  119. 4:36bought supplies. The invoices are
  120. 4:38coming in. We need to pay them. We
  121. 4:40asked the companies for help. We
  122. 4:41couldn't get the money, it was stuck.
  123. 4:42We asked them to be patient for a while
  124. 4:44. They were patient. Then, at the end
  125. 4:47of the next month, we issued another
  126. 4:49invoice. We thought we'd get two out of
  127. 4:51five at once, and then we learned the
  128. 4:53hotel had gone bankrupt. You know how
  129. 4:57smart you are, right? Investigate, talk
  130. 4:59to the hotel staff, see how things are
  131. 5:01going. But because the business was
  132. 5:03doing so well, we succumbed to reckless
  133. 5:05abandon. We succumbed to greed. Call it
  134. 5:07what you will. You can even say it
  135. 5:09deserved to go bankrupt. We didn't get
  136. 5:13the money from the hotel. The hotel
  137. 5:14owner already sold it. He was Chechen.
  138. 5:16He handed over the hotel and left. Well
  139. 5:18, thankfully the hotel manager's
  140. 5:20signature is on the contracts. We had a
  141. 5:23meeting with him about this a few
  142. 5:24months ago. I was threatened. He tried
  143. 5:27to get me out of this situation by just
  144. 5:29paying my travel expenses. No. I'll
  145. 5:31take his house and cars too. A lawyer
  146. 5:34is handling it. Anyway, we went
  147. 5:37bankrupt, but we paid the staff. No
  148. 5:41staff member can say that their money
  149. 5:43is still owed. Maybe a couple of days '
  150. 5:45worth of UMY (Unemployment Insurance
  151. 5:46Fund) was left unpaid. I'm not sure,
  152. 5:48but other than that, no staff member
  153. 5:50has sued anyone. Thank God we went
  154. 5:54bankrupt. We had a debt of 1,200 for
  155. 5:57insurance. To pay the staff's salaries,
  156. 6:02we messed up our own records, sold the
  157. 6:04car. You name it, we went from 50 TL to
  158. 6:10-2.5-3 million. That's how our first
  159. 6:14bankruptcy happened. I'll tell you the
  160. 6:17consequences of the second bankruptcy
  161. 6:19at the end. I made that decision. I'm
  162. 6:21summarizing because we needed to get
  163. 6:22back on our feet after the second
  164. 6:24bankruptcy as well. Because we were
  165. 6:25burdened with debt. We said, let's find
  166. 6:28a financier. We went and did our
  167. 6:29research, and found a partner. We met a
  168. 6:32gentleman in Antalya who was building a
  169. 6:34hotel in Thailand. He said, "If you
  170. 6:37find a clean company, we can provide
  171. 6:39the staffing services for them. Get the
  172. 6:41necessary permits and everything.
  173. 6:43You'll be free, and so will I." Great.
  174. 6:45We went and got a loan from a financial
  175. 6:47institution at 60%interest. We managed
  176. 6:49to get it. We established a clean
  177. 6:50company. We started the business. At
  178. 6:54the same time, I also took on a
  179. 6:56subcontracting job in Antalya for a
  180. 6:58tourism company, at least to get the
  181. 7:01checks in advance, and I provided 3 or
  182. 7:035 staff members to a few hotels. My
  183. 7:06intention was that Thailand would
  184. 7:09finance Antalya. When we earned money
  185. 7:12from Antalya, when we earned money from
  186. 7:13Alanya, we could pay off the old debts
  187. 7:15and clear our accounts. The plan was
  188. 7:18brilliant, just like in the previous
  189. 7:19story. We initially got about 40%of our
  190. 7:23advance payment. We got the permits. We
  191. 7:25paid the staff advances, etc. Plane
  192. 7:27tickets and everything. The work
  193. 7:29started, man. For almost three months,
  194. 7:31the Thai government halted the hotel
  195. 7:33construction. We returned empty-handed.
  196. 7:37We sat down with the gentleman. He gave
  197. 7:39us a check. What were we going to do
  198. 7:40with the check? There were salaries for
  199. 7:42the staff, money, and daily expenses. I
  200. 7:44somehow financed it from Antalya. It
  201. 7:46turned out the other way around.
  202. 7:47Normally, Thailand was supposed to
  203. 7:48finance it. I financed Thailand. He
  204. 7:52gave us a check, and it's still there.
  205. 7:55As a side note, let me share this: He
  206. 7:57passed away, but his son is continuing
  207. 7:58the business. In this form
  208. 8:00investigation, his accounts have been
  209. 8:02blocked. I'm waiting for him to be
  210. 8:04arrested. When he's arrested, I'll
  211. 8:05process the check. Because nobody
  212. 8:07processed the check back then. When
  213. 8:09people saw the check, they said, "Let's
  214. 8:11not get involved in this." We couldn't
  215. 8:12find a single courageous person. The
  216. 8:14check is still there. Maybe we can
  217. 8:18collect it with interest. And I'll get
  218. 8:19rid of that check. The check's due date
  219. 8:23arrived. Yes, we couldn't cash the
  220. 8:25check. We couldn't print it or process
  221. 8:28it. We still paid the employees working
  222. 8:31in Thailand and Antalya somehow. Did
  223. 8:33the second company also get involved
  224. 8:36with the debts? We ended up with debts
  225. 8:38of 2.5-3 million. We just kept looking
  226. 8:41back at our backsides. Then the
  227. 8:44pandemic came. Before the pandemic, we
  228. 8:49were thinking, "Let's make another move
  229. 8:50," but we were constantly watching TV.
  230. 8:53We were messaging each other with our
  231. 8:54partner. "Look, the pandemic is coming,
  232. 8:56masks, this, that? Like antiseptic,
  233. 8:58hand soap? Let's do something, let's
  234. 9:00get something done." Because one
  235. 9:01company was in my name and the other in
  236. 9:03his, it got involved with both of us.
  237. 9:07Anyway, I had a friend, we ordered a
  238. 9:09container of masks from him. It was
  239. 9:12already ready before anything even
  240. 9:14arrived here. At the same time, we said
  241. 9:16, "Crises are passing us by. We are a
  242. 9:18tourism country. The pandemic will also
  243. 9:20pass us by in tourism." So, let's rent
  244. 9:24a hotel from someone we know. We rented
  245. 9:26a hotel. The hotel had an electricity
  246. 9:28bill, around 400-500,000 lira. We went
  247. 9:30and arranged for it to be paid in
  248. 9:30installments. We somehow found the
  249. 9:31first installment. Again, by borrowing
  250. 9:33money with interest. The hotel needed
  251. 9:37construction to open initially. We
  252. 9:38immediately started another company to
  253. 9:40hire staff. Of course, we started their
  254. 9:43insurance. We were doing the
  255. 9:46construction, landscaping, etc., and
  256. 9:48then the pandemic hit our country. The
  257. 9:52hotel went downhill. We sold the masks
  258. 9:56we had, but it was useless. We rushed
  259. 10:00to sell them. If we had waited 45
  260. 10:01months, we could have sold them for
  261. 10:03five times the price. Maybe that would
  262. 10:04have saved us somehow. In short, that
  263. 10:08was my business life, with three failed
  264. 10:10, beautifully planned but ultimately
  265. 10:13unsuccessful ventures. So what were the
  266. 10:16consequences of all this? This first
  267. 10:19company was under my name. 2016. You
  268. 10:21remember, we did a lump-sum method, and
  269. 10:24we received invoices for materials from
  270. 10:26outside. These invoices turned out to
  271. 10:28be fake. The tax office called us. We
  272. 10:30went, I went. We got them issued. But
  273. 10:34for them to become official, the tax
  274. 10:36returns from that period needed to be
  275. 10:37corrected, and those amounts needed to
  276. 10:39be paid. We couldn't pay. We became
  277. 10:42labeled as fake invoice issuers, and
  278. 10:43Erkan was sued for violating the law. I
  279. 10:45received a prison sentence of 3 years,
  280. 10:4610 months, and 20 days for violating
  281. 10:48the law, along with Erkan. That is,
  282. 10:50even though I didn't issue a VAT
  283. 10:52invoice myself, they claimed we had
  284. 10:54unjustly profited something like 32,000
  285. 10:56or 35,000 Turkish Lira. That's why I
  286. 10:58received the sentence. We appealed, but
  287. 11:00it was overturned. They hastily
  288. 11:03summoned me to a police station, saying
  289. 11:04I needed to give a statement. I hadn't
  290. 11:06even followed up on the appeal. They
  291. 11:09took me to Sincan Closed Prison, where
  292. 11:11I was supposed to be in and out of jail
  293. 11:12because the crime date was old. Of
  294. 11:14course, since we hadn't declared the
  295. 11:16accounting records, the files for the
  296. 11:18two crimes got mixed up. I spent about
  297. 11:2033 days in Sincan Closed Prison. Then
  298. 11:23my time in Sincan Closed Prison ended.
  299. 11:26I was supposed to be transferred to an
  300. 11:27open prison to complete my sentence. I
  301. 11:28was transferred to an open prison, and
  302. 11:30on the second day, they kicked me out.
  303. 11:32Thankfully, my lawyer friend had
  304. 11:33written a petition. They finally
  305. 11:35admitted there had been a mistake. They
  306. 11:36understood the error and kicked me out
  307. 11:38in the middle of the night. Anyway, the
  308. 11:41next day we went to the prosecutor's
  309. 11:42office again. I asked, "How can this
  310. 11:43mistake be corrected?" He said, "Go to
  311. 11:44a small place and surrender. The
  312. 11:46paperwork will arrive immediately. You
  313. 11:49can complete the registration process."
  314. 11:50This time, I went to my hometown,
  315. 11:52Amasya, to Merzfon. I stayed there for
  316. 11:55a week, at home. No one came or went. I
  317. 11:57went and surrendered myself. I said, "
  318. 11:59Is there a warrant out for my arrest?"
  319. 12:01They said, "Okay." The men were
  320. 12:02surprised. I said, "Sir, the mistake
  321. 12:04needs to be corrected. I need to get my
  322. 12:05life back on track." So, I went to
  323. 12:08Amasya Closed Prison. There, I was on
  324. 12:10probation for 9 days. I waited 9 days.
  325. 12:13You go before the board, they ask how
  326. 12:16many times you've been to the
  327. 12:18psychologist, and so on. Anyway, I was
  328. 12:21released from probation. 4 days a week,
  329. 12:24initially 3 months and 4 days a week,
  330. 12:25signing in. Even though I wasn't
  331. 12:27insured, it was 5 hours a day, and I
  332. 12:30was working without pay. Of course, if
  333. 12:33I did that, how was I going to support
  334. 12:34myself? That was the problem. Debts
  335. 12:36were piling up behind me. I said, "Let
  336. 12:39me continue my life in my hometown
  337. 12:41first." I found a job there, but
  338. 12:43because of the wage garnishment, it was
  339. 12:45a small place. Well, they couldn't keep
  340. 12:47me there for long. They didn't let me
  341. 12:49stay, and rightly so. They sent me back
  342. 12:52to Ankara. Here, I found a job as a
  343. 12:55water carrier. I brought my father's
  344. 12:59old car here. I couldn't afford to buy
  345. 13:01a new car. Thankfully, Ömer abi helped
  346. 13:03me. He made me a water carrier. After
  347. 13:06that, the car broke down repeatedly. It
  348. 13:08overheated. I mean, if the car was
  349. 13:10worth 100,000 lira, I spent at least
  350. 13:12500,000 lira on parts, folks. But I
  351. 13:14couldn't afford to replace it. I still
  352. 13:16can't. Now, let's talk about the
  353. 13:20psychological trauma during this
  354. 13:21process. I cut myself a lot. I cut my
  355. 13:26wrists once in Antalya. I threw myself
  356. 13:29in front of cars in Kızılay. It
  357. 13:31didn't work. It's not working. God
  358. 13:34doesn't kill those He doesn't intend to
  359. 13:35kill. They kept me in a psychiatric
  360. 13:38ward for a week. I was there as a guest
  361. 13:41to improve my mental state. You know,
  362. 13:44medication and all that, in a clean
  363. 13:46room, alone, far from everything. It
  364. 13:49wasn't recorded in my medical history.
  365. 13:50Actually, it was bad that it wasn't
  366. 13:51processed. Because when I went to
  367. 13:53prison, I said I was taking medication.
  368. 13:56They said, "No, there's nothing like
  369. 13:58that on your pulse." Because when you
  370. 14:00go to prison, your record shows up
  371. 14:02there. The doctors there can check
  372. 14:04everything. They said, "No, you've only
  373. 14:06had a gastric sleeve operation. Let's
  374. 14:08give you a blood thinner for that."
  375. 14:10They said, "Continue." So I continued
  376. 14:13with blood thinners in prison. And of
  377. 14:17course, before I started working, I had
  378. 14:19various jobs. You know, I'm a cost
  379. 14:23accounting clerk. I'm a junior
  380. 14:25accountant. I'm a sales and marketing
  381. 14:27clerk, basically I try to do everything
  382. 14:28. You could say I'm a person who tries
  383. 14:29to do everything. But I can never
  384. 14:32settle down in the places I work.
  385. 14:34Because I get too possessive. For
  386. 14:36example, if my shift starts at 9 am and
  387. 14:38ends at 6 pm, I go in at 7 pm. I leave
  388. 14:41at 12 am. Even though I'm an accountant
  389. 14:43, I clean toilets. I serve customers. I
  390. 14:46do every job that's not even my
  391. 14:48responsibility. When I don't do it, or
  392. 14:50when I do it and then don't do it again
  393. 14:53, I naturally get reactions from people
  394. 14:55and get fired. I'm a donkey. As you
  395. 14:58know, since I'm from Merzfon, Merzfon's
  396. 15:00donkeys are famous. I swallowed it
  397. 15:03again. Now you'll say something again.
  398. 15:04Anyway, it doesn't matter, I need to
  399. 15:05swallow it. I'm telling you all this in
  400. 15:07one go. I mean, I don't have anything
  401. 15:09to do anymore. You know, cut, shape,
  402. 15:10divide. No, I'm an amateur. To put it
  403. 15:15simply, the total amount of my debt is
  404. 15:174, 4.5 million, let's say 5 million.
  405. 15:20But because of the interest, the 3.7%
  406. 15:22monthly public interest kept
  407. 15:23accumulating, it reached 10 million. So
  408. 15:25how did we reduce it? There were blocks
  409. 15:28on our bank account. These were offset,
  410. 15:30it was reduced. Two unfair penalties
  411. 15:32were imposed. We appealed them. Those
  412. 15:34penalties were waived, it was reduced.
  413. 15:36We had a court case in 189, concerning
  414. 15:38the other company. For that, we had to
  415. 15:41pay 358,000 TL. We paid that. 358,000
  416. 15:44TL was automatically deducted from
  417. 15:45there as well. He threw it in the oven
  418. 15:47too. The indictment was sent back.
  419. 15:49Hopefully, I'll get acquitted there.
  420. 15:51And the other company is currently in
  421. 15:52the appeals court. I'm praying it
  422. 15:54doesn't come up until March. Because my
  423. 15:55audit will end in March. If it comes up
  424. 15:57after the audit, I'll have to do
  425. 15:58another entry and exit process.
  426. 16:00Otherwise, if it comes up while I'm
  427. 16:02under audit, it will be a repetition, a
  428. 16:04duplicate charge. I think I'll be in
  429. 16:06jail for about 35 months. Well, I'm
  430. 16:08living a hard life. You're all living
  431. 16:10hard lives, but I'm not living hard
  432. 16:12because of my debt. I'm living a hard
  433. 16:14life, hard times, because of life
  434. 16:16itself. Because I'm under audit,
  435. 16:18everyone is trying to hit me on the
  436. 16:20back. They think I won't speak up. But
  437. 16:22I'm speaking up now. I'm losing my
  438. 16:24temper. Yes. I've been homeless for a
  439. 16:26long time. I've collected cigarette
  440. 16:28butts from many places. I've collected
  441. 16:29a lot of dry bread. Right now I'm
  442. 16:32living in a rented house. What am I
  443. 16:34going to do with a 30,000 or 1,000 lira
  444. 16:35house? I'll pay it off somehow, I'm
  445. 16:37trying to pay it off. I opened a
  446. 16:39sausage shop for 150,000 lira. Due to
  447. 16:42setbacks, the shop is still not active.
  448. 16:45I'm trying to get it active. I said I
  449. 16:48wasn't going to ask them to be partners
  450. 16:50. Well, we're still in talks with a
  451. 16:53couple of friends, but of course they
  452. 16:55don't trust me. The point isn't this:
  453. 16:58if I hadn't said I had 10 million in
  454. 17:00debt, maybe everyone could have trusted
  455. 17:03me more easily. I can market myself.
  456. 17:06Because, apart from that, I pay off my
  457. 17:08debts to the people I borrowed 5,000 or
  458. 17:1010,000,000 liras from, as much as I can
  459. 17:12. They know that. It's just that when
  460. 17:13the debts are large, I have to pay them
  461. 17:15off in installments. For example, from
  462. 17:17my previous place, we borrowed almost
  463. 17:19200,000 liras, including lawyer fees
  464. 17:21and so on. Last month we paid off about
  465. 17:2420,000 liras. This month we were going
  466. 17:26to pay another 20,000 liras. Things got
  467. 17:28tough. I can't pay it now. I mean,
  468. 17:30whatever he does, he can come and shoot
  469. 17:32me. He wants my car. If I give him the
  470. 17:35car, I won't be able to do any business
  471. 17:37. How did we open the shop? He's a very
  472. 17:39old friend of mine. E 100 took out a
  473. 17:41loan of 110,000 L. with monthly
  474. 17:43payments of 15,000 L. It was the first
  475. 17:45time someone had taken out a loan in my
  476. 17:47name. I somehow managed to pay the rest
  477. 17:49off and open the shop, but now I can't
  478. 17:51run it. These are current issues anyway
  479. 17:55. Let's get back to the cautionary tale
  480. 17:56. This is my cautionary tale. I'm not
  481. 17:58telling this so that I can be an
  482. 17:59example to others. I'm telling it so
  483. 18:01that you can learn from it. I'm telling
  484. 18:02it so that you can learn from it. If
  485. 18:02you don't have anything in your pocket,
  486. 18:05don't start any business with a plan.
  487. 18:07Especially in this period, don't take
  488. 18:08out a loan to start a business. I did.
  489. 18:10I had to. If you don't have such a
  490. 18:12necessity, don't do it. Some friends
  491. 18:16say, "Go back to your father's house,
  492. 18:17your hometown, downsize." They say, "I
  493. 18:22only have a salary of 7,000 L. I'm
  494. 18:25going to get 28,000 L. 7,000 L gone.
  495. 18:29Only 2,000 L will remain.""There's
  496. 18:3221,000,000 lira, and 20,000 lira for
  497. 18:33rent, my father's finances are already
  498. 18:34ruined. He has a pension, but he has
  499. 18:36his own debts, his own expenses. So,
  500. 18:38that's the situation. Do you think I
  501. 18:39haven't considered every possibility?
  502. 18:41I've considered every possibility.
  503. 18:43Every possibility leads back to this.
  504. 18:45What really devastated me was losing my
  505. 18:47mother. Let me tell you that too. She
  506. 18:49passed away on October 11, 2021. I was
  507. 18:52only able to have her grave built this
  508. 18:54year. I was able to have it built last
  509. 18:56month. You know, you provided the water
  510. 18:57, thank you. I had her grave built this
  511. 19:00year, thanks to you and also thanks to
  512. 19:03my brother Kenan, who provided a lot of
  513. 19:06support. I send my regards to him again
  514. 19:09from here. There are people trying to
  515. 19:11help. I try not to disappoint them, but
  516. 19:14I have nervous breakdowns. I had a
  517. 19:17nervous breakdown the other day. I had
  518. 19:20another one last night. My phone
  519. 19:22shattered. I broke the car window. The
  520. 19:25car window cracked, etc. All of that
  521. 19:29will be fixed." So, the question you
  522. 19:31asked most often was, "How did you get
  523. 19:33into debt of 10 million?" I got into
  524. 19:35debt of 10 million like this and that.
  525. 19:36They ruined me. You could say I went
  526. 19:41bankrupt because of my own stupidity.
  527. 19:43But it's not about the money. We're
  528. 19:46solving the money problem somehow. So,
  529. 19:47regarding this water business...when I
  530. 19:50was explaining it, the water suppliers
  531. 19:52threatened me. You're talking about our
  532. 19:54income. They say, "You're making 100
  533. 19:55lira from a bottle, but that 100 lira
  534. 19:57isn't yours." Everyone knows that.
  535. 19:59Don't worry. There's shop rent, fuel,
  536. 20:01vehicle expenses, depreciation. There's
  537. 20:03so much going on. Your profit is 30
  538. 20:05lira. Everyone knows that 30 lira. They
  539. 20:08tell me, "I'm sharing a price list
  540. 20:10right now. Water is so expensive." I
  541. 20:12say, "In the market, one five-liter
  542. 20:13bottle is 36 lira, you buy two for 72
  543. 20:16lira. I bring it to your door for 90
  544. 20:17lira. That's even too little, I'm
  545. 20:19burning fuel, fuel is 90 lira now. My
  546. 20:21car is wearing out." I'm wearing myself
  547. 20:24out. Everything happens, you know.
  548. 20:25Let's be fair for a change. I'm not
  549. 20:28speaking here as an employer. I'm
  550. 20:30speaking as a citizen, just like you.
  551. 20:33Why am I on social media? I'm on social
  552. 20:35media because I believe one door will
  553. 20:36open another. And I believe one door
  554. 20:37will open another. And I've written a
  555. 20:41show. I've written a show that will
  556. 20:43tell these stories in their entirety,
  557. 20:45in all their detail. It will last, I
  558. 20:47estimate, 60-70 minutes. I'll try it in
  559. 20:51Ankara. If I can find a venue, I'll let
  560. 20:53you know. I'll make the tickets around
  561. 20:55100-150-200 lira. We'll get to know
  562. 20:57each other, and I'll listen to your
  563. 20:59debts, I'll tell you about them. I have
  564. 21:02the courage to face you. Maybe someone
  565. 21:06will say, "Come on brother, let us
  566. 21:08support you. Tell us about your show,
  567. 21:10maybe it will be useful." Like the
  568. 21:12handsome mussel seller, the charismatic
  569. 21:15corn seller, then the marginal sausage
  570. 21:17seller. Why not? Right? I don't want
  571. 21:20someone to come and pay my debts. I'll
  572. 21:22handle it myself. I always say the
  573. 21:25greatest capital is oneself. Don't give
  574. 21:28me fish. Don't teach me how to fish
  575. 21:30either. I'd just appreciate it if you
  576. 21:32could provide me with that opportunity
  577. 21:34a little. Thankfully, my brothers who
  578. 21:36are also struggling like me are
  579. 21:37supporting me. May God bless them all.
  580. 21:40We said we were doing charity water.
  581. 21:41You insulted my mother. Now I'm still
  582. 21:42doing charity water, but I'm not
  583. 21:43announcing it to you. I only contact
  584. 21:45those who write privately; my phone
  585. 21:47number is everywhere. I try to talk to
  586. 21:49those who call. I try to listen to your
  587. 21:53problems as well as my own. I don't
  588. 21:55give advice to those who ask for it as
  589. 21:56much as possible. Because you see my
  590. 21:58situation. I'm not in a position to
  591. 22:00give advice anyway. When you try to
  592. 22:02give me advice, I take it seriously. Of
  593. 22:04course, regarding those who cursed,
  594. 22:06people say, "Substitute them, that's
  595. 22:08actually logical," but I won't get into
  596. 22:11that either. Forget it, screw it.
  597. 22:14There's death tomorrow anyway. Nothing
  598. 22:16really matters. That's the summary of
  599. 22:20this cautionary tale, friends. There
  600. 22:22are also videos from very old times,
  601. 22:23numbered 1, 2, and 3. I'm also saying
  602. 22:25this because I'm a newcomer to our
  603. 22:26community, and my YouTube channel is
  604. 22:28growing rapidly. So, people can get to
  605. 22:30know me from here too. And since
  606. 22:32Instagram is also growing, they can get
  607. 22:34to know me there as well, so we don't
  608. 22:35have to answer the same questions over
  609. 22:37and over again. So you don't get bored,
  610. 22:40and neither do I. I'm in a struggle for
  611. 22:42life, and I'm showing you that. If you
  612. 22:45learn from me, I'll be happy. We have
  613. 22:48nothing left to lose, but we have a
  614. 22:51life to gain. You are loved. May God
  615. 22:54protect you. See you. Home.
