Chapter 222 Bright Future 8 (1/2)
Jake realized that the reason Clara recovered so quickly and accepted well what happened in her company and divorce was that she finally accepted that her ex-husband Robert was a scoundrel and was not worthy and did not deserve her love.
It was only a matter of time before this happened and Clara woke up to realize the reality of life, Jake was afraid that after Clara lost her innocence what was left was anger and desire to take revenge on her ex-husband as it happened to many women.
Luckily it seemed that Clara was not like this and just wanted to recover her company to get her life back to normal, seeing that Jake who was fine with everything that was happening decided to try to calm Clara by telling her situation.
”I think you don't have to worry so much about getting your business back Clara, I know you don't trust my business visions, but I think I make good investments and by 2000 I could end up earning a few tens of thousands of dollars.”
”I know you don't believe that, but my company is taking care of a multi-million dollar capital investment and part of that money comes from Matthew you know well.”
”Is Matthew even investing?”
”Yes, I now have a small percentage of his company stock, and Matthew's company made a good profit from the sales of the new digital camera, so he and I made good money on the company's profit share.”
”Just as Matthew trusts me, he decided to invest with my investment firm.”
It was a pity that Jake couldn't tell Clara the details of his dealings and the company, but Clara must have realized that Jake had indeed made a lot of money as she knew the rumors about the deals being done.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
Clara was really surprised by this, she didn't know that Jake was that good in business, she thought Jake lived only on the sponsorships she received, but it seems she was very wrong and Jake could be richer than she thought now.
In fact, Clara couldn't be blamed for thinking that, after all, Jake was only 17 now and it was already amazing the accomplishments he had in two top-level sports like basketball and athletics, so she couldn't imagine that Jake had a talent for the stock market too.
Matthew and Oliver knew Jake a lot better and had been listening to Jake's business visions since many years ago, plus Jake gave many important tips to Matthew's company and saved Matthew's company from possible bankruptcy, so it was normal for Matthew trust Jake for the investments.
Even with the crisis that was going on in her company, Clara would not think of giving money to Jake's company to invest at a time like this, after all, she knew well that the stock market was risky and she could not risk the future of her company in that.
Matthew was with his company making a lot of money from the new product and could risk an investment of a few million, but she could not make herself, Clara could change her mind if she heard that Matthew risked investing 300 million with Jake's company, but Jake never would do it.
”I don't understand where you want to go with this Jake, it's not that I don't trust you, but I can't bet my company's future on the stock market.”
”I know that well, you made it very clear last time, what I mean is that when I can redeem the money from my investment in 5 years or even before that when I get Matthew's company profit share I will buy the Robert shares of your company. ”
”But you have to agree to that first, then when you have conditions I can sell that 10 percent stock back to you.”
For a while, Clara was silent trying to understand what Jake was saying to her, after all, it was normal for her not to understand that if Tiffany she had known for over 10 years or her father bought these actions to help her, Clara would not be so surprised by that and would just be grateful.
But she didn't understand why Jake who until a while ago had nothing wanted to risk buying her company's stock right now, if she didn't know Jake well she might even think that Jake was buying those shares from a rival company.
But she knew Jake would never do something as bad as that to her, and even though Jake was a close friend and her company-sponsored Jake when he was younger and more needed, Clara didn't think it was enough to justify it.
”Why are you doing this for me?”
”Because you are one of the dearest people in my life, and I don't think you deserve to lose your company for a mistake that is not yours, if I have this money I will definitely buy these stocks, because even if I keep them I know you're efficient and can make my investment count.”
Even though he didn't expect that question Jake just told the truth, Clara and Tiffany were very dear people in his life and helped him a lot at a time he needed, besides, Jake knew that Clara was efficient and a great company and worth the investment even if Clara didn't buy those shares from him.
After another 4 years in 2000, Jake would have billions of dollars in cash from his investments, in another 20 years, he would be close to 100 billion if all he thought worked out, so taking that 30 million to help a friend was worth it to Jake.
