In fact, Jake could not be considered as having much money now, these deals yielded up to 100 times more often, but even if Jake took out everything he earned even though he was considered successful he could get 6 million to invest until 2000.
But so he could at most win 20 times more and that was not even a lot of money if it were to analyze things well, after all, Jake could make close to 300 million dollars in his career as a basketball player at least if he became a star.
Thinking about it Jake would not earn much from these investments, so he wanted to invest in long-term companies such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook where he could invest millions to earn billions of dollars in the future.
So Jake was just trying to earn more to invest more in these stocks, Jake was also thinking of giving 1 percent of the shares of the investment company to Emily who would be who else would work in that company.
It might not seem like much, but if Jake had $ 1 billion in profit Emily would have $ 10 million, for the investments Jake wanted to make in the hundreds billionth that 1 percent could be worth more than the value of a whole midsize company in the future.
As for opening a company of his own was not Jake's style, even in his past life he wanted to know only about investing and not managing anything, and joining a company at its inception like it would with Amazon was the same as opening a own company as he would have to open up capital to invest in the company, he could end up with less money than investing in a company.
As Jake waited for Emily's response the day of the first state championship game was coming, the team was just training to improve the match and was ready to play anytime.
Everyone was much calmer and confident in winning because everyone was more experienced than last year and also had two new players who could play as well as the team holders.
Even if some players had a bad game they could still guarantee the victory with the substitutes that were the height, so it was quieter.
As the days went by and the day of the first game of the state championship game, Jake woke up early in the morning and ate Eva's breakfast.
Even though it was the way Jake always liked it because he knew that only when you lose something that you start to add value, like when Eva went to all the final games, after a few times Jake was used to it.
But when she had to stop going because of the restaurant that Jake missed most so he had to take advantage now, because when he was in college he would not have anything like that.
After Jake got his things and went to the game site, so after a while everyone was ready for the game, the two teams went to the court and the game began, Mark went up high and took the first possession of the ball for the Elite team.
Jake received the ball and calmly began to organize the game, he advanced a little and passed the ball to David who was open on the right, David advanced and passed the ball to Carter, later on, Carter held the ball a little and passed to Harrison on the left.
Harrison got the free ball and ran into the inside area and did the layup to make 2 more points for the Elite team, Harrison and David were very excited in today's game but they had to play thinking about the team as well.
The reason for this was that the coach seeing the good performance of Nathan and Lucas in the games and mainly how the team's defense improved when they were on the court decided to change their thinking.
So coach Mike decided that each pair would play 2 periods in all state championship games if someone was playing poorly in the game would be immediately replaced, so the coach wanted to see their performance in the games to decide the national championship if they win.
So David and Harrison wanted to prove they deserved to be the starters of the team at least playing those first games well, the problem was that they knew that Nathan and Lucas were thinking of doing the same from the third period.
The best players on the opposing team of today's game were PG Axel and PF Micah, these two positions had Jake and Carter who were the best defenders of the Elite team and so they were more relaxed for that game.
Axel received the ball to advance to the attack, passing from the middle of the court he passed the ball to the SG of his team, the SG received the ball and advanced for a while until David reached the defense by pressing, so SG passed the ball for the SF that made the mid-range shot before Harrison arrived for the defense and made 2 points to tie the game.
Jake received the ball and began to organize another attack for the Elite team, before the middle of the court he passed the ball to Harrison on the left, Harrison advanced and passed the ball to Mark, Mark turned easily and made the dunk to make 2 more points for the Elite team.
Axel got the ball and started another attack for his team, he advanced until after the middle of the court and passed the ball to the SG of his team, the SG passed quickly to the Center, The Center tried to make the move, but Mark was firm in defense.
So the Center had to pass the ball to Micah who received and already made the mid-range shot to tie the game to his team, in those first moves Jake can see that the opposing team was not very strong in defense and attack.
Even though the game seems to be balanced it was because the Elite team was still studying the opponent, but when the defense starts to press the opponents will not have so much room to make the plays with such ease.
Jake advanced again with the ball and began to accelerate the pace of the game, before the line of three points Jake passed the ball to Carter who was open to the right near the bottom of the court, Carter held a little and passed to David that was behind.
David received the Carter ball and made a step back and attempted a shot from outside to make 3 more points for the Elite team, Jake saw that David and Harrison seemed to be more excited to make the plays as long as they did not lose an attack he did not would care.
The game continued like this and the Elite team finished the first period winning by 8 points of difference when the Elite team began to press more in the defense the adversary team began to err more.
The best players on the opposing team were defended by Carter and Jake, Micah even attempted a few plays over Carter, but Axel and a lot of opposing players were fleeing from Jake passing the ball quickly.
So the opposing team was messed up by Jake and missed more, but at the same time, Jake did not get any steal in that first period of the game.
Jake made 6 points so far in 2-point plays and also managed to make 4 assists, he was out because the opponent was weak and because David and Harrison were looking for more plays.
At the end of the second period the elite team already led by 20 points and had the easier game, Jake struggled more in defense and made 4 steals in the game so far, Jake made 14 points and 9 assists, the Triple Double for that game was well underway.
In the third period Nathan and Lucas entered and did not change much the result of the game, the Elite team finished the third period with 30 points of advantage and the adversary team was already more discouraged to play the game, thus the defense of Nathan and Lucas was a slightly erased in this game.
Jake had 21 points and 12 assists in that third period, plus he got 5 more steals to complete 9 in the game so far, so after a while, the game ended with the Elite team's easy victory in that state championship debut.
Jake got another Triple Double and increased his record, even more, Nathan and Lucas were not very happy because they could not do anything to change the game, but the trained Mike understood well that they played better in games more difficult what was important for the coach.
So Jake went home first because a win like this did not bring much satisfaction to him, coming home he called Eva who was waiting for the call and was happy to receive the news of the victory.
So Jake went to rest to prepare for next week, even though he expected Emily to find Jeff Bezos quickly he knew it was impossible by now, in addition, he asked Emily to evaluate Jeff's company now so as not to look like Strange to invest in it.
Jake had received the news that the company's digital camera began to be sold in stores across the country, it looked like the camera was selling well despite the price and the camera was not as advanced as the others on the market.
Jake was surprised but realized that it was because the name of Matthew's company was well-known for more than 30 years making cameras, so the public was more confident in the new product, and the camera was even of good quality taking the limitations.
Jake also did not know exactly what Matthew considered well sold for his company, for the total value of the company if the camera sold 10,000 units would already be considered a success for Matthew's company in the first few weeks.
But for Jake 10,000 unit was too little to have sales for this camera, if Matthew was more determined he could start selling overseas for a slightly larger amount.
After all, for a thousand dollar camera is worth to pay a value to export to Europe and Asia to try to sell at least one million cameras worldwide.
