Chapter 545 - The New NBA Star 5 (1/2)

Of the more than 40 million dollars that Shaq would earn, Jake would earn only 4 million dollars for making that investment, compared to the billions of dollars that he would earn from his investments and the billions of dollars that he would earn from making the investments. Matthew's 4 million was not much.

Jake was really doing this just to try to help his friends as much as possible, Jake was sad that Clara and Tiffany missed the opportunity to invest with him and so they could earn much more than Shaq would.

Kobe, who was listening to the conversation between Shaq and Jake, found it hard to believe that Shaq was really willing to risk $ 10 million on a company he didn't know, he trusted Jake, but wouldn't invest that much money in a company that Jake himself said it was too risky.

Kobe had to admit that he was also interested in investing and thought it would be strange if only Shaq invested and he didn't, but he wouldn't risk investing that much money, besides if he saw after 1 year Shaq earning more than 40 million dollars and he won't regret anything.

”Jake, I trust you too and I also want to invest, but I can't invest 10 million dollars, so I'm going to invest 1 million dollars and if I win 4 times that amount I will also be happy.”

”Okay, Kobe, I'm going to make you a lot of money, tomorrow I'm going to send someone to send my company's reports showing how the Cisco company has appreciated and you can make this investment after talking to your financial representatives.”

Jake was happy to see that Kobe also trusted him and hoped to help Shaq and Kobe make a lot of money, after this business conversation they decided that they would start enjoying the rest day with a tennis game.

Jake told them that maybe it was not a good idea for them to play basketball because they were in three people and they had to stop thinking about basketball on that day off, Jake knew well that having a good team was important to winning the games, but he thought that if Kobe and Shaq played well, the Lakers team could win.

They played tennis and Jake lost both times because he had never learned to play tennis, but in his last loss, Jake had almost won the game after learning by playing both games.

After all, Kobe and Shaq didn't play tennis that well and Jake didn't get much of an advantage because the two were also high-level athletes even though they didn't have the system as he had, especially since they were playing just for fun.

After that they had lunch and enjoyed time by the pool and then ended the day watching a movie at the cinema that was at Jake's house, Shaq and Kobe left Jake's house more relaxed and Jake was also happy to spend the day with two of his idols.

As soon as Shaq and Kobe left Jake called Emily and asked her to prepare the reports and contracts for Shaq and Kobe, soon they would also invest and Emily was happy to see that the company would receive more money and she would also receive more money.

Emily also told Jake that the lawyers who were working to approve the patents Jake applied for had good news, Jake was hoping that he would soon get those patents and so he would guarantee billions of dollars in the future.

”Jake, the lawyers said they expect the patents you applied for will be approved by the end of the year, just as you suggested patents for using touchscreen technology and multi-touch technology for the smartphone model were approved.”

”The other patents for how the smartphone will be used have also been approved, only the patents on the touchscreen and multi-touch technology they hope will take until the end of the year.”

Jake was very happy to hear that, he knew that these patents on the touchscreen and multi-touch technology would take longer and so he asked lawyers to do more to approve these patents.

But in fact, it was the other patents that seemed less important that mattered more to Jake, with those patents other smartphone companies would have to ask Jake for authorization if they wanted to use the smartphone as it will be known in the future with touchscreen and glass screen.

Jake hoped that Charlie's team would be able to finish the initial prototype of the Android operating system technology and if they did, Jake could get several more patents that would make him richer.

Emily had already won contracts with ram companies, microprocessors, storage memory, and other important components, so Charlie's team already knew what operating system limitations they could create.

In fact, the operating system was already ready with the tips that Jake had given, but it currently only worked on larger computers with stronger components, now they had to optimize and weaken the Android operating system.
