Chapter 132 The Decision Defining the Future 1 (1/2)
”I'm saying this, do you understand how important it is that you hire my company and accept my councils or not?”
So Matthew and Oliver finally understood why Jake was being so serious about this whole situation, bankruptcy for a company was one thing that should not be said jokingly, so Jake was trying to make it as formal as possible.
Yet it was hard for them to believe that if they did not make a change the company of more than 15 years could end up failing, at most they thought they could miss a very good opportunity.
But something told them that what Jake was saying was true and that could not be changed, in fact, what was influencing them now was Jake's charm, leadership, and eloquence that had been maximized by the system when he talked about Business.
But that only happened because what Jake was talking about was an absolute truth that he knew to have come from the future, the more truth the matter was and the more conviction Jake had to speak, but whoever he heard would believe it.
”Well Jake, I'll believe you, for now, so you tell me what your councils are and if it's not something very absurd I might consider and so you'll be hired.”
”Okay, let's start first with the change that can make your business more successful or end up failing, as you all know people are lazy most of the time and do not want to make a lot of effort when they do something.”
”So today not everyone has a camera at home, why? This is because people have to take the trouble to buy the film reel to take the pictures and after that, they have to reveal the pictures, am I sure?”
So Matthew and Oliver thought a little and saw that what Jake said was right, if everyone had a camera at home the companies would be much richer and there would be many more companies on the market.
”Now try to imagine if a person had a camera and did not even have to buy rolls of film or reveal it, people could take pictures from anywhere and even make videos and hundreds of them, then they could see anywhere or even send them to friends, if so, do you think people would want to have a camera?”
What Jake described was difficult to even imagine for Matthew and Oliver, if what Jake said was possible the cameras would truly be much more sold and the companies would make millions of dollars.
”This is the power of technology, in a few years everything I said to you may be possible, but it is clear that such a good market will have a lot of competition and will also have the patent barrier, so it's best to start early with this.”
”What I said to you is already being developed now and it's called a digital camera, in the beginning, these photos can only be transferred to a computer, but in the future, it will be in several places, now I'm going to talk about more barriers and opportunities.”
”As I said before, the future will be for computers and cell phones, but why this? This will happen because computers and mobile phones will absorb and develop various technologies and products into one.”
”Imagine this computer and cell phone that you know today being smaller and more practical and having a digital camera, a music player and television among other things? With that everyone would just need a cell phone and a computer and the rest will be obsolete. ”
So Matthew and Oliver were confused again before Jake said that the digital camera could be the future and now he said that even if the company changed, it would still risk going bankrupt.
”This is what I want you to understand, this is one of the markets that have the greatest opportunities, but it is also the most difficult market to compete, only being in front of everyone that you can conquer the best achievements.”
”But what I said about computers and cell phones is also an opportunity for digital camera companies, like this? You can be the first to develop the technology and thus provide for these companies.”
”Imagine if every person in the world has a cell phone and each home has a computer, in addition, with the new technologies developing people would switch phones every year if you were the supplier of products to these companies could earn hundreds of millions every month at least.”
”It means that all of this is risky, but it is a great future for those who know the way to go and I want to help you along that path, but like I said you can not avoid it if you do not adapt your company to the less you enter the digital camera market, your business will not have a future.”
