Chapter 195 A Risky Investment That Will Make It Right 9 (1/2)
To earn more in more than 15 years or to earn less in a few years, everyone obviously chose to earn a lot in a few years, many of these people were old and wanted to have the money in a short time and were investing only because they saw that they had much to gain from the internet.
Nobody wanted to lose money even if it was to recover after more than a decade, not to mention that nobody believed that Jake could predict the market in so many years ahead, was what Jake really expected.
So Jake told Emily to still invest everything in Cisco stock, after all, it was the most profitable company and Jake knew the exact time to sell the stock, in other companies the gain was smaller and Jake did not remember when it was the best time to sell.
Even so, Jake thought this was the best time to invest in Cisco, the company would still appreciate nearly 20 times before the bubble burst, so that 30 million could become more than 600 million dollars.
Also, Jake thought that 30 million was too much to invest carelessly after all could even have a large part of a smaller company and interfere with their moves, Cisco would still not care about those 30 million now.
Jake might even say that these investors could have 40 times that amount in profit, Emily would certainly be a millionaire if he was entitled to half of her father's profits, so Jake wanted everything to be on a notary's record.
Because if he earned 10 percent of that value he would even be rich just standing there waiting for everything, even so, Jake was still more focused on doing this deal with Jeff Bezos because, in the long run, it would certainly be more money.
Too bad their friends did not want to invest now, that would be their last chance to make a lot of money on that investment, glad that Jake still knew more profitable investments in the future.
But nothing would be like that to earn 40 times the value invested in 5 years only, only if they try to invest in a company like Amazon after opening and waiting for more than 10 years to receive the investment.
But even Jake would not do anything like that, only if he did not really need the money by that time, so it might be worth it.
After leaving everything in the hands of Emily in the company they returned to concentrate on their training, marathon training would take time to see some result, but in basketball, he was just preparing for the challenge in a few more days.
At least now Jake knew how many points he had to make to break that record, he thought he would not have another chance to do it and now that he has again received the confidence of his coach and his teammates he should be able to break that record.
When Jake told Eva that he was trying to break that record again, Eva could not know how important this was, but she felt Jake was very serious and focused on it so at least she encouraged Jake by saying that he would succeed.
While Eva talked about this with Anna who also did not understand much about basketball Lola ended up hearing about it and was impressed, she was someone who understood well of basketball of so much to hear it of the young people who lived in its street.
So she had already been impressed with Jake winning the MVP award in the national championship and having done Triple-Double in several games, she knew how difficult it was against a weaker opponent.
So hearing that Jake would try to score more than 135 points, she honestly thought it was impossible, many young people on the street would show up when they scored 40 points in a game and said their goal was to score 50 points in a game.
So making more than 100 points was impossible for Lola, even the pros could not do it, but as she listened to the conversation she heard that Jake had already scored 123 points in the last game trying to break that record and would try to get it this time.
So Lola could no longer doubt that Jake could be capable of this, even more, she heard that this was an important moment for Jake, so she told Eva and Anna that she wanted to go to that game to cheer for Jake.
She was really curious to know if Jake could actually do this and also wanted to be there to cheer for Jake in the game, she was the one who was most unoccupied sometimes in the restaurant, Eva and Anna knew Lola liked Jake and how it was Jake's game, they let her make this surprise.
And so the days went by quickly and soon came the day of Jake's game, it was the third game of the state championship and everyone was more excited about this game, Jake woke up very early in the morning and ate his breakfast made by Eva.
Eva did not tell Jake even after he left that Lola would come to her game, she knew that even though Jake was more mature for his age since always he always was happy when someone known would go to a game of it.
