Chapter 366 College Basketball Season Begins 10 (1/2)

Eva can't say anything but eat the food happily and compliment Jake's talent, because those two dishes were once on the restaurant menu and it was Anna herself who cooked, so the restaurant had no problems with the recipe.

Also, after working so long at the restaurant Eva learned that anyone who prepared the dish with the same recipe made all the difference, she couldn't even cook all those years better than Anna or even some cooks at her restaurant.

So she could only admire Jake who was talented in everything he did, she was proud to have a child so that even though she had achieved so much at such a young age she was still humble and striving to get even better.

As Jake had come by surprise few people knew he was in Miami, Eva decided to just say that to Anna at the restaurant, Jake also didn't tell almost anyone he was in Miami, only Emily knew he was home.

Nothing important could happen in the week he was home, and if it happened people could look for his mother or his friends at the university who knew where he was.

There was no way he could talk to Matthew about the company because the official sales report would come out only early next year and it was better for him to settle it only in February when he had another week off.

His sponsors were also busy with the company's reporting and accounting at the end of the year, Jake just knew that John's company hoped to break their company's sales record again this year.

They were smart and only invested advertising money in Jake-related stuff, the rest of the profits and even new investments were concentrated on their product quality, they greatly improved the product so that customers would buy their drink because of Jake and then continue to consume the product because they liked the drink.

This seemed to be working because the company's sales only increased, Jake didn't expect to renew the sponsorship agreement with John's company and so wanted to know what their profit would be next year when their contract would probably end in the middle of the year.

He hoped that the companies that worked with him would continue to profit even after he was no longer sponsored by these companies, these companies helped Jake when he needed it most and he wanted to help if possible.

Just as Jake wanted in the next few days he stayed home relaxing and enjoying time with his mother, so Eva this week was coming home early to spend more time with Jake and he was training at home while his mother was at the restaurant.

He wouldn't be without training just because he was home and he had nothing else to do, the training center that Jake set up at his house was better than some things he used at the university because they were more suited to him.

But after 2 days Emily called Jake saying she wanted to meet him at lunch, Jake knew that Emily was very busy running the investment company so she knew it should be something important and went to meet her.

”Hi Emily, you look very good today.”

”Thank you, I'm happy for what has been happening with the company, I never expected these actions to appreciate so much, it makes me feel that everything we worked on was worth it.”

”Did you come to report on the company's investments?”

”No, that's what I called you for, but if you want I can tell you how the company is doing.”

”Of course, you can give me a report.”

”Your stock has appreciated a lot in recent years, mainly because of the investment you made last year, this year you have stocks worth $ 44 million.”

Jake had hoped for that when he invested last year, he knew that in fact the stocks had not even started to appreciate much, in the next 3 years these stocks would appreciate more than 10 times the current value, but of course as soon as he could invest more he would earn.

If he had invested the $ 33 million he used to buy Clara's stock to help her, he would have doubled that now and more than 10 times that over the next 3 years, so when Jake said he wanted help Clara he was being more than sincere.

”The shares that my father's group has now are worth $ 98 million, I never expected them to make so much, I told my father that if he sold those stocks as he wanted to do last year he would have lost a lot of money.”

”Still he told me it's too risky and keeps saying to ask you to sell his shares.”
