Chapter 476 - Basketball and Business 10 (1/2)

”I think I should invest my money well and earn as much as I can from it, after getting a lot of money I can donate several million to charities without a second thought.”

”The only thing I will not do is to exploit others to make more money, but investing like everyone else is not a problem for me.”

After talking a little more Jake went to Matthew's house, he was excited to know how much the company had made that year, normally they would have sold just over 1 million cameras because in the last year they sold more than 9 million cameras.

But since this year they would start selling more in Asia, which was the world's largest market for digital cameras, Jake had more hope that they could sell 2 million or more digital cameras.

Arriving at Matthew's house, Jake can see Oliver and Joseph in his office, after Matthew's company started making a lot of money Oliver spent almost all day at Matthew's house helping him solve the company's problems.

Joseph's classes had not yet started so he was with his father and grandfather, they both saw Jake coming and had been waiting for him since Jake's birthday was over.

”Hi Jake, we were waiting for you, I'm going to call my dad here and we can talk more about the company.”

”No need Oliver, we can go to where Matthew is.”

”Today my father is off duty and is not resolving company matters, so talking here in the room is more comfortable.”

After saying this Oliver went to where Matthew was and left only Jake and Joseph in the room, the two had not talked much in the last few months and after spending so many months studying at different universities they were not as close as before.

”Congratulations on the success of the game you organized, Jake, I couldn't go in person, but I watched the game at the university.”

”Thank you, I was very happy that everything went well in this game, and how is your course at the university?”

”Okay, I'm not one of the best students in my classes, but I get above average grades, I think the important thing is that I'm learning a lot of new things when I come home now and see my father and my grandfather talking about the company I understand everything they say.”

”Now I realize how amazing it was that in middle school you can talk to my grandfather about business and even give advice on his business and investments, so you don't have to finish university to be a good manager.”

Jake can see that Joseph had changed so much in the last few months that they didn't speak to each other, that was normal because Jake met Joseph when they were still children and Joseph went through adolescence and was now understanding what life really was like.

”I'm happy to know that you can talk to your grandfather about the company now, after all, who are you going to be the president of the company after your grandfather retires, and how is Liza doing?”

”She's fine, Liza completely changed her personality, you wouldn't believe it if you talked to her now, luckily she didn't change what I liked most about her, let's do 5 years of dating this year.”

”I am happy to know that you are well together, can you see her often?”

”Yes, I bought a car, and several times when we don't have classes I take my car and go to her university so that we can be together.”

”After the last semesters of the university, she doesn't care that I come home as my grandfather always commands, in fact, she even advises me to come home and so she goes to her house.”

”Here in Miami, I can see her if we want to meet.”

Jake was happy that the relationship between Joseph and Liza seemed to be very well, Jake knew that Joseph liked Liza very much and if her personality was really better they could even be friends again.

Now Jake and Joseph were more mature and had other friends so it was easier for them to talk quietly and they could be mutual friends again, the important thing was that after several things had happened they were still friends.

Jake and Joseph continued to talk about various subjects because they had so much to say after many months of not talking when Matthew and Oliver arrived they were happy to see the two talking.

”Jake, I was waiting for you, I knew you would be coming soon to hear the company's sales report.”
