The other day after training in the morning Jake went to meet Emily at the restaurant, he took some prototypes of the smartphone and tablet and several sheets he had written with some explanations about the technology and also the patents he wants to get.
"Hi Emily, I'm sorry about selling your father's shares, I really just wanted to help you and your family, but with your father really wanting to sell the shares and yet the accusations he made to the company left me no choice."
"It's okay, I understand what you are saying because I know how well my father's and other investors' complaints hurt the company, other investors who were interested gave up trying to invest by listening to these rumors."
"No problem, even if other investors showed up I would not accept any more investment in the company, we will take care only of my shares and also of Matthew and we will earn enough from it."
"If you want you can invest the money you received from your father, I'm hoping that the stock will still value almost a thousand percent over the next 3 years, those 4 million you have could turn into 40 million by 2000 and I won't charge you anything to take care of your investments."
"I appreciate it, but I don't have the courage to invest those 4 million with so many rumors that the bubble can burst at any moment and investors lose millions, and if I invest and my dad see how much I made it might feel even worse."
Emily didn't have the heart to say it, but she was also suspicious if stocks would really value that much in the coming years, she knew well that investing in the stock market was a high-risk investment in which everything could be lost.
Even more so in a situation as unknown and different as that of overvaluing companies that were connected to the internet, everyone who understood the market knew that these companies were overvalued and therefore hesitated to invest.
Jake's investment firm had a number of stock market specialists, and especially the stock of the Cisco company, which was the company's only invested stock, and any investment firm that saw it would find it crazy not to diversify and invest in a number of companies and invest in just one.
This could maximize profit, but it also greatly increased the risks of this investment, no one knew how Jake did these calculations saying that Cisco's stock would still appreciate more than 10 times because analyzing the company's accounts made no sense.
Jake didn't want to explain to anyone why he did it because he couldn't, he already knew that this was the company he would value most and so he invested all the stock in Cisco and Jake also knew exactly when to sell so as not to lose money.
"Alright then, wait until February and then I'll tell you how much it is for you to invest in stocks again, we will invest every year until 1999, we have to earn as much as possible so that your stake is even bigger."
"I see, anything else?"
"Yeah, actually the reason I called you here, as you may know, is because Charlie's team finished the products I asked him to develop."
"Now I want you to find a group of very good and reliable lawyers to work with them on to get as many patents as you can get for these products."
After that Jake explained to Emily some technical terms lawyers could use to get the patent, some of those terms were sent by Charlie and their team when Jake asked and others were from Jake coming from the future.
Because Jake's tech company was small, it was much easier and cheaper for them to get a patent on a product approved, especially with the reports Jake had prepared knowing exactly how a smartphone would work in the future.
Emily was a little upset at first that Jake asked her to ask a team of patent attorneys to work with her, but after hearing Jake saying all the technical terms and how many patents he wanted for these products she realized she wouldn't be able to get it that.
These patent processes usually took many years and needed a lot of research, especially when it was a patent using a technology that already existed. Jake wanted lawyers to show that the use of patents he was applying for was commercial and for a product he developed. and greatly improved a technology that already existed.
And it was true knowing that this was a technology that would only appear in another 7 or 8 years in the future, so after many hours with Jake explaining the future uses of this smartphone and tablet he let Emily and the lawyers handle it.
Even if he couldn't get all the patents he wanted, Jake knew he could get a lot of money in the future if only some of the patents he thought were approved, once the Android system was ready he could get many more patents.
Jake's biggest goal was not to stop the biggest companies from creating the smartphone, he would only do that if he really decided to start a smartphone company, what he wanted was to partner with the biggest companies in the world and make a lot of money by letting them. companies would use his patents.
He was a partner at Amazon today and would still look for more big companies of the future to become a partner, so what Jake thought was that with big partners he would be able to easily create new products.
Also, it was easy for Jake to do as he already knew how these products worked because they came from the future if it was complicated as many products he wouldn't even bother trying to get a patent.
After that Jake spent some more time talking about all the business matters he had to talk to Emily before returning home, after this meeting he wouldn't see Emily for a few more months.
Having resolved all work matters Jake still spent one more day with Eva in Miami before returning to college, even though I tried to resolve so many issues Jake still spent most of his time with his mother because while he was talking about business Eva was in the restaurant.
Jake came back just a day before the team's next game of the season, but neither Coach Guthridge nor his other teammates complained about it, everyone knew that Jake always played well at the games and was the most trained of the whole team.
Besides, Jake had used this week to spend with his family and that was something everyone respected, after a good rest the whole team was focused and ready for the next game.
The opponent for this game was the Princeton Tigers team that Jake wanted to play this game away from home to talk to Joseph, but this game would be at home at the Dean Smith Center, was good for the team and Jake also enjoyed playing near the home crowd of the Tar Heels team.
Besides, this was always a tough game, especially in those years that the Princeton Tigers team has always been doing great seasons just like last year and this season as well as Jake remembered.
The Tar Heels team came from a 9-win streak in 9 games and so players were more confident, but the Princeton Tigers team came from a great 7-win streak in 7 games, so it would be a tough opponent.
In his past life, Jake remembered that this was one of only two games that the Princeton Tigers team would miss this season being the other game in the elimination of their NCAA tournament team.
And that victory would only come out in a tightly contested game with few points, so if Jake wasn't careful the Tar Heels team could end up losing that game, this was also one of the only games that Jamison can't score many points.
The other day came the day of the game, in a few hours both teams were ready for the start of the game, the crowd was very excited waiting for another victory of the team Tar Heels, even though the opponent was difficult the fans thought that with Jake in the team was difficult for team Tar Heels to lose the game.
"Today we are going to follow another exciting game this season, we have the Tar Heels team that has been having a great season and it's the team that won the NCAA tournament last season."
"Team Tar Heels will play at home against Princeton Tigers who are having a great season too and had a great last season too."
"And what would you say are the highlights of these two teams?"
"The highlight of the Princeton Tigers team is the coach and the style of play of this team that has been very successful in recent seasons, unfortunately, has not brought any NCAA title, but who knows this season."
"The Princeton Tigers team is a great team with good players, but their highlight is their training and great team play."
"The Tar Heels team also has a great team and great players, coach Guthridge has also been doing a great job replacing coach Smith who retired this year."
"But there is no way not to say that the highlight of this team is the player Jake Smith, maybe I even say that Antawn Jamison is also having a great season, but Jake is undoubtedly the highlight of this team."
"The best player of last season even being a freshman, and this season has been doing very well since the first game of this season and we hope it will stay that way until the end of the season."
"So who do you think is the favorite to win in this game."
"The Tar Heels team, playing at home, are definitely the favorites."
As commentators have said the two teams were doing very well this season, but one team would have to lose in this game and Jake would not allow the losing team to be the Tar Heels team.
