Chapter 189 A Risky Investment That Will Make It Right 3 (1/2)
In fact, Jake could not be considered as having much money now, these deals yielded up to 100 times more often, but even if Jake took out everything he earned even though he was considered successful he could get 6 million to invest until 2000.
But so he could at most win 20 times more and that was not even a lot of money if it were to analyze things well, after all, Jake could make close to 300 million dollars in his career as a basketball player at least if he became a star.
Thinking about it Jake would not earn much from these investments, so he wanted to invest in long-term companies such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook where he could invest millions to earn billions of dollars in the future.
So Jake was just trying to earn more to invest more in these stocks, Jake was also thinking of giving 1 percent of the shares of the investment company to Emily who would be who else would work in that company.
It might not seem like much, but if Jake had $ 1 billion in profit Emily would have $ 10 million, for the investments Jake wanted to make in the hundreds billionth that 1 percent could be worth more than the value of a whole midsize company in the future.
As for opening a company of his own was not Jake's style, even in his past life he wanted to know only about investing and not managing anything, and joining a company at its inception like it would with Amazon was the same as opening a own company as he would have to open up capital to invest in the company, he could end up with less money than investing in a company.
As Jake waited for Emily's response the day of the first state championship game was coming, the team was just training to improve the match and was ready to play anytime.
Everyone was much calmer and confident in winning because everyone was more experienced than last year and also had two new players who could play as well as the team holders.
Even if some players had a bad game they could still guarantee the victory with the substitutes that were the height, so it was quieter.
As the days went by and the day of the first game of the state championship game, Jake woke up early in the morning and ate Eva's breakfast.
Even though it was the way Jake always liked it because he knew that only when you lose something that you start to add value, like when Eva went to all the final games, after a few times Jake was used to it.
But when she had to stop going because of the restaurant that Jake missed most so he had to take advantage now, because when he was in college he would not have anything like that.
After Jake got his things and went to the game site, so after a while everyone was ready for the game, the two teams went to the court and the game began, Mark went up high and took the first possession of the ball for the Elite team.
Jake received the ball and calmly began to organize the game, he advanced a little and passed the ball to David who was open on the right, David advanced and passed the ball to Carter, later on, Carter held the ball a little and passed to Harrison on the left.
Harrison got the free ball and ran into the inside area and did the layup to make 2 more points for the Elite team, Harrison and David were very excited in today's game but they had to play thinking about the team as well.
The reason for this was that the coach seeing the good performance of Nathan and Lucas in the games and mainly how the team's defense improved when they were on the court decided to change their thinking.
So coach Mike decided that each pair would play 2 periods in all state championship games if someone was playing poorly in the game would be immediately replaced, so the coach wanted to see their performance in the games to decide the national championship if they win.
So David and Harrison wanted to prove they deserved to be the starters of the team at least playing those first games well, the problem was that they knew that Nathan and Lucas were thinking of doing the same from the third period.
The best players on the opposing team of today's game were PG Axel and PF Micah, these two positions had Jake and Carter who were the best defenders of the Elite team and so they were more relaxed for that game.
Axel received the ball to advance to the attack, passing from the middle of the court he passed the ball to the SG of his team, the SG received the ball and advanced for a while until David reached the defense by pressing, so SG passed the ball for the SF that made the mid-range shot before Harrison arrived for the defense and made 2 points to tie the game.
Jake received the ball and began to organize another attack for the Elite team, before the middle of the court he passed the ball to Harrison on the left, Harrison advanced and passed the ball to Mark, Mark turned easily and made the dunk to make 2 more points for the Elite team.
