Chapter 134 The Decision Defining the Future 3 (1/2)
So Jake can be relieved, he knew that Matthew was a great man and business to be able to create his company out of nothing for more than 15 years, so even if he had made a big mistake in his past life by losing that change in technology now was different.
After Jake gave the way he had to follow Matthew could get the rest alone, in fact, Matthew was more excited about being able to participate in this new wave of technology, it could turn dozens of companies growing out of nowhere and in a few years would be more valuable than your company.
So knowing that in a few years he could even work with Microsoft that would be the most valuable company in the world in a few years encouraged him a lot, so Jake did not need to tell Matthew how important this was.
Jake just had to warn Matthew to be more careful and not end up losing a lot of money because of the internet bubble bursting in a few years, after all, if Matthew let go of some stock he could make lots of money but lose control over his company.
At the break from school Joseph went to eat with Jake again at the break of class, but today Joseph was quieter than normal, he heard from his father what Jake did the other day, Oliver thought it important Joseph knew why he would be the heir of the company in the future.
But Oliver did not know that Joseph would feel so strange about it, it was normal after all he and Jake were the same age and they were so different, Jake now also had a girlfriend, but besides playing basketball very well he was still the best student in the room with perfect notes.
As if that was not enough Jake still helped his grandfather with the company, and according to Oliver of that Jake may have saved his company from bankruptcy and have helped the company grow even more in the future.
That's because Joseph did not know that Jake already had an investment firm that earned more than $ 1 million and was also trying to open a restaurant for Eva, the difference between the two was too great.
Of course, Joseph despite being envious and admiring his friend still liked Jake very much and was only grateful, but after knowing about it he needed some time to get back to normal.
Jake, who also had a lot on his mind, did not realize that his friend was strange, he had to continue preparing what was necessary for Eva's restaurant, and Jake thought that this week or another Emily should have managed to get everything he asked for.
Besides that, Jake had to see some details if he could even participate in the marathons and participate in the competitions and if he could when the competitions would be made, Jake was determined to do it.
When Jake thought more about it he had an idea, he had seen athletics and marathon competitions on television several times, and all these times he saw that athletes often ran for sponsorships from sports equipment and sports drinks companies.
So Jake could ask if Tiffany or Clara would know anything about what was necessary to participate in these competitions, so he could find more information with their help.
So he called Tiffany because he knew that Clara must have many private problems to solve, Jake booked lunch with her at a restaurant because the subject matter was very important to talk over the phone.
Jake really did not know, but in fact the commercial he did a while ago on television turned out to be a big hit, Jake besides a talented player was very handsome in general and was right in front of the cameras, putting all this together with the small fame that Jake had already turned out to have gone very well.
And now Jake was going to be national champion if all was right in this and the next championship, after that Jake would go to college or straight to the NBA, so Tiffany and Clara were thinking of increasing the amount of sponsorship they pay Jake.
At first, it was just Clara's bet because Matthew asked and also because Jake was only in Middle School, but now Jake was near a bigger stage in basketball, so Tiffany and Clara who also had bigger ambitions for their companies thought about keeping Jake as sponsored even in the NBA.
Even if they knew that keeping a player in the NBA was not very realistic because they could not afford the high contracts that the biggest sports companies could afford, they relied on Jake's friendship for that.
So Tiffany wanted to take advantage of this lunch to discuss this with Jake, so she got to the restaurant and saw Jake getting up from his desk to greet her.
”Hi Tiffany, thanks for taking some time out of your busy time to greet me.”
”No problem, I really wanted to talk to you about a subject.”
”About what?”
”Then I'll tell you about it, how it was you who called me, it's only fair that you tell me what you wanted first.”
”Alright then, let's have lunch first then we'll talk more about it.”
