Chapter 348 Back for the Sophomore Year 2 (1/2)

But if it was to say he got any better Jake could be happy about it, it could be true that his young body might have affected his personality a little in those years, also had the fact that Jake had suffered so much in his past life and have been very antisocial.

Everything about this life of his was very different from what he experienced in the past life at the same age, he had other opportunities and had another mindset to make different and more correct decisions, not to mention that with his mother not working and happy it was all different.

Jake also had more friends, more money, more work, and even in love relationships he had more experiences than in 40 years of his past life, it was a different and happier life than Jake had.

That day Jake received calls from all his sponsors who were very happy with Jake getting this gold medal, now Jake was even more beloved in America as a sports hero than before.

Jake's nickname was spreading and his fame as a winning athlete was also increasing, because Jake was different at just 18 years old, winning so many times and still playing basketball, even people's interest in marathons and athletics, in general, It was increasing.

The television audience of this World Championships in Athletics was the largest in history and by far the difference, as Jake was running in the marathon the world audience at the World Championships in Athletics peaked.

This was good for everyone, and even the athletic associations in the United States and the world were spreading more about Jake's achievements in promoting the sport in general, which was great for Jake's sponsors.

If the internet were more used in these years this disclosure would be much greater, who was happy with it was also the sports agent of Jake David Falk and who was sad about it was Nike who missed the chance to reach an agreement with Jake before offering a better offer.

Now Jake was a sports idol and was sure to star in the NBA, so Nike's next offer to Jake would have to be a few times bigger to get a deal with him if they didn't lose that chance to the other sports companies of shoes.

Many companies were also thinking about how to get a sponsorship deal with Jake, some even had some unofficial conversations with David Falk about it, but he was clever and didn't confirm anything.

That's because David was confident that Jake's value would increase greatly in the coming years until he entered the NBA, at least he could wait until the end of next college basketball season if the Tar Heels team won again Jake's value would increase even more.

Of course, this was all a hypothesis and none of this could happen, but if Jake played worse this season even if he had a contract signed earlier the company could just forget about that deal when Jake joined the NBA.

Unbeknownst to Jake and David, Alan's company and John's company also planned to offer a new sponsorship deal with Jake in the NBA, even though Jake said he would not renew this NBA contract, they intended to offer Jake a millionaire offer and also appeal to Jake's loyalty that has already been proven in those years of contracting with Tiffany and Clara's companies.

In those years that they had a sponsorship deal with Jake, they had more sales than ever before. Last year the company sales increased by almost 50 percent, so for a big company like theirs that was too much for them to miss out on.

Big companies like theirs usually had to invest millions a year in sponsorship just to stay in the market with competitors as rich as the leading companies in the market, even if they spent more than 10 million to increase their sales by hundreds of millions of dollars would be very worth it.

But that would be hard to come by because the biggest companies in the industry in this area had already realized this and could offer an even bigger offer than they did to Jake, this was something neither Jake nor David Falk could expect.

After all this Jake can spend the next few weeks with his mother just relaxing and talking, he talked to Joseph and Matthew a few times in those weeks, the sales results had not come out, but Matthew already knew it was better than the sales of the last year which excited him and Jake a lot.

So Jake was much more relaxed than anything that happened this year and last year, so by the end of the month Jake was ready to go back to university, this time he knew everything he had to go through that he could hardly relax until the month May of next year.

Eva wasn't so sad about Jake going to university this time either, she knew this was best for Jake and that soon Jake would be back again to spend a few months with her, in fact, Eva was a little relieved because with Jake at university Lola would be quieter.

When Jake returned from university Eva hoped that everything would be resolved and that Lola could finally accept that she couldn't be with Jake anymore, because Eva had a feeling that a lot would happen next year in Jake's life.

She felt that Kate who seemed to be far away, for now, would go into Jake's life at once next year and would not go out anymore, as a woman Eva understood what Kate felt more than Jake knew and even though she wasn't famous as Kate was she knew the heart was the same for everyone.
