Chapter 194 A Risky Investment That Will Make It Right 8

So in the week Jake continued his racing training, yet he could not do the 50km of training by taking the 4 seconds per km, but as soon as he could, he could consider himself ready for the marathon.

After a few days, Jake was still in doubt as he could get the Triple Double and makeover 135 points in the next game while he was thinking about that Mark had the solution and came to talk to him.

"Jake, I heard you have a hard time thinking about how to get Triple Double and make the necessary points, you know very well what you need to do, you do not have to have any regard for me."

"I do not know what you're talking about Mark, I consider you all, but I'm not doing anything special to you."

"It's okay, everyone on the team knows you are like that, I also think as a captain it's cool that you consider the well-being of all your teammates, but in this game, you have to be selfish if you want to achieve that record."

Mark was right, actually long ago Jake was being considered with Mark, but he thought his teammates had not realized this since Jake got over 1.85 m with his many training games it was obvious that he could always dispute and even win Mark's rebound.

But Mark always helped a lot with the rebounds in several games that the team needed, and when it was Jake who missed the shots outside or mid-range Mark was the one who helped the team not to lose any attack.

In addition, Jake trained a while with Mark and learned the Center's position with him, so just to further improve his achievements he did not think he needed to dispute the rebounds with Mark.

But in this game, Jake needed an easier triple-double in which he scored several points, so even though it was not easy he could be like that without needing 10 assists in the game and could attack in all the plays.

This was possible because Mark and Carter shared almost all of the team's defensive and offensive rebounds, and yet Mark had a medley of more than 9 rebounds per game, Carter averaged 5 rebounds per game.

"Okay then Mark, thanks so much for this, but only for this game, then we'll get back to normal."

So Jake was quieter after resolving this, he would not make the 10 assists and would try to score in all attacks if Jake could count on the luck he could even miss fewer shots from outside and less mid-range shots as well.

But Jake learned that luck has no fundamental performance when doing more than 20 shots per game, otherwise it would be obvious that Jake had something different in every game, but at least in this game he wanted his luck to help more points.

While Jake was doing his training for the game Emily called him saying that he needed to talk to him about something important, so Jake was excited to think that Emily had managed to find who he was looking for.

They met as always in a separate restaurant because these deals were still a secret from Eva, when Jake got there they greeted each other, but the subject was not what Jake expected.

"Hi Jake, I'm sorry to call you urgently while you were busy training, but I needed to talk to you."

"No problem, so you managed to find who I was looking for?"

"Unfortunately not yet, but in a few weeks I will have this information for you, the subject has to do with my father and other businessmen."

So Jake was disappointed in this, he was anxious to do business with Jeff Bezos, it was like Jake thought that the longer it took him the more chance of going it wrong was, while Jeff had not yet sold stock Jake knew he could convince him.

"You do not need to be so sad so I think something good for you, I always tell my father about working for you, but whenever we talk to the businessmen who are my father's friends we speak that I work in a company the which is true."

"So I told you that you had made an investment and had a return of several times the amount invested, so all of them were interested in investing in a technology company, but were afraid of losing a lot of money."

"But they did not want to go into big investment companies for fear of being cheated, so knowing that I whom they knew worked in an investment company was working with investments they wanted to invest in the company."

"But as the company is practically your investments I wanted to know what you think of it."

This was really unexpected for Jake, he just created this company to take care of his own investments, after all, he was a minor and the values ​​were high for a common business, so a company could help Jake better control his investments and pay taxes.

But he never really expected the company to receive investments from other people, even when he suggested that Matthew, Oliver, Clara, and Tiffany make the investments, either they could do it on their own or find a really specialized company.

Of course, he could not deny that with his future knowledge he could easily indicate which investments were right for these companies, now was a great example, there were several companies that were valuing themselves in the stock market because of the internet.

But Jake knew exactly which companies would have the best returns and when stocks would have the biggest declines, some companies would fall in value in 2000 and then recover in a few years.

Cisco would be a company that would have a huge fall in stocks, as a large company would recover, but it would never reach its peak again and would only recover in more than 15 years.

Other companies like Microsoft and Apple would have losses and recover and earn much more in more than 10 years, so it would be worth investing a few million in stocks to have a millionaire retirement.

But Jake thought it was not worth waiting that long, after 10 years he would earn that money from NBA salaries, so he invested in Cisco to make a lot of money and then sell it all.

In contrast, it had Amazon that it would be one of the largest companies in the world in more than 15 years, so it would invest little and earn a lot, not to mention that more companies like Amazon would still exist in the future to invest.

But for someone who did not come from the future as he companies like Cisco were too risky if he did not know the right time to sell, and companies like Amazon would only be recommended for those who have little money to invest.

But Jake had a problem doing this, it was that companies like Amazon he wanted to invest as much as possible in a short time, these companies Jake would never recommend to others, but in a few dozen years the people who invested in the company would complain to see Jake billionaire that he did not recommend this company to them.

So Jake said what he was thinking to Emily with other words and Emily just smiled as she answered him.

"You do not have to worry about it, Jake, these people just want to work with your company for a few years at the most, no one wants to risk losing money so you can just help them make lots of money and they will not complain."

"So I agree, but I want 10 percent of their investment profits to be worth my time to think of the best investments for them and once a group comes in we will not accept anyone else."

"Alright, I'll tell them about it."

"In addition, we will have to separate the company into their accounts, my personal investments and the investments of these entrepreneurs, and you can not tell them about the companies that I am investing separately."

"You can count on my ethics, I will not talk about it."

"You've done a good job, Emily, hire people to always check the stocks we're investing in and focus on finding Jeff Bezos for me, I was already thinking about it, you're going to get 1 percent of the profits from all of that company's business, you deserve it and work harder for it."

"Thank you so much, Jake, I'll do my best."

Emily was well aware of how good it was to get 1 percent of the profits of an investment firm like these because she would not use any penny of her own money to invest and still make a living out of it.

Jake, for example, invested $ 250,000 a few years ago and now earned more than $ 1 million, she would get $ 10,000 to invest nothing, and that was just the beginning, now Jake still had that money invested if he earned 5 times more she would earn 50 thousand this time.

In addition to the salary she already earns that is little now, but Jake said that it would increase a lot in a few years because all the money that Jake wins he invests again and she also did not have much to do a few years ago.

So after a few days, Emily warned Jake about the investment information, 23 business owners who were friends of his father would invest in stocks and let the company take care of their investments, Emily again asked the people who were known to Jake if anyone wanted to invest.

But no one showed interest again, not because they did not trust Jake, but rather because they had to invest in their own companies, Matthew even had until he got a loan to invest in his own company.

Still, Jake was surprised that so many entrepreneurs were investing in it, especially when he heard the value that these 23 entrepreneurs would invest, 30 million dollars, was much more than Jake initially thought.

He felt bad for having charged 10 percent of the profits, of course, some people would invest more like Emily's father who would invest 4 million dollars, and he promised that half of the profits would go to Emily.

Jake asked Emily to explain exactly that some could lose something in a few years more than 15 years would gain much more while some would earn a lot and not lose anything in a few years.
