Chapter 180 A Marathon to Enter History 1
So the system was forced to change its prediction again before it was a year of normal training and with the help of the third job and the stamina bar Jake could win a marathon.
This went to in a year of extreme training as Jake was doing he could increase his stamina and with the help of the third job and without the stamina bar he could win with his own marathon effort.
But Jake did not seem to be satisfied with that and managed to lessen that estimate in 4 months, the reason for this beyond Jake"s dedication every day in training was because Jake"s pride to always be honest made his potential mature faster.
So his training was several times more effective and he managed to protect his pride, it was the same that happened when the Elite team was losing in the final minutes of the fourth period of the national champions.h.i.+p final.
In that game, his team was playing very badly and Jake had to try to take the team to victory alone, in that game Jake exceeded his limit several times and managed to lead the team to victory, this time Jake again broke his limits and managed to improve.
After that Jake rested happily at home, even if Jake had a mentality of more than 40 years his body was still that of a teenager and Jake was always looking to do something new.
He had to take responsibility indicating to Matthew"s company that they would go bankrupt if they did not switch to the digital camera, even though Jake knows the things of the future does not change the fact that trying to advise a company of more than 300 million to move to another product is difficult.
Jake has also never ceased struggling every day in training his basketball skills; in addition, he has always taken on the responsibility of being the captain and main player of the team.
Jake also had several sponsors.h.i.+p contracts that totaled hundreds of thousands of dollars all month, he had to play well and take care of his image so as not to harm these companies.
Jake also had hundreds of thousands of dollars in investment which was very stressful, even knowing that this business is sure to work.
Jake was now trying something much more difficult and important, which is to fulfill his dream of running in a compet.i.tion, he had to train for months to get to that point.
And Jake still had an even bigger goal that was to win several gold medals in the Olympics, he wanted to represent his country and hear the national anthem playing from the top of the podium.
Jake was doing all of this at the age of 16 and would continue to try harder and more, just the goal of being the best basketball player in the NBA is already a goal that many have fought for a lifetime, and it is an honor for all life.
After a few days Emily finally showed up with the reports Jake had requested, he knew it was difficult to do without the help of a computer, but Jake had asked Emily months ago so he hoped she had more than enough time to organize everything.
As Jake looked at the reports that were more or less what he remembered the company"s growth in the stock market, Jake was afraid he might have influenced a bit about it, but it seemed that not.
"It took me a while to get the reports because I"ve always been correcting the data with the stock market update."
It seems she had noticed that Jake was a little dissatisfied with the delay, but that was not why Jake was really busy over the last few weeks, he wanted to have those reports to have the confidence to increase his investment.
And in the stock market as soon as you made your investment more could give profits in a good phase as was the company Cisco in the stock market, Jake was very pleased also to see that he had the cash to receive dividends from the company stock.
So he would have to invest less money from outside and could use his own stock yield, Jake had invested $ 250,000 in 1992, now in 1995 that figure had multiplied by 5, but that could not leave Jake happier.
Because as he had no way to invest much in that time did not yield much profit, his actions which were money he did not move in 3 years was far less than he could win in a year of sponsors.h.i.+p.
But if someone like Matthew or Tiffany and Clara had invested a few million would already have made a few million profits, but now Jake was also thinking of investing too much every year to have more in a few years.
But Jake did not want to invest everything he had because he had other plans to make with the money, Jake had bought more than 6200 shares in 1992 with 250 thousand dollars, now he had 25 thousand shares I am worth a million and 250 thousand dollars.
In those 3 years, he got almost 100 thousand dollars with dividends received for his actions, so he wanted to buy another 910 thousand dollars in shares that give more than 18 thousand shares, so he would have more than 43 thousand shares.
Now he could use the dividend money to not have to spend all the money he had put together that year of sponsors.h.i.+p after buying the restaurant for Eva and also the car for him, now Jake still had close to $ 200,000 that would be used for other investment.
So Jake told Emily to invest the $ 910,000 in stock and after she"d do it that she"d report everything to him, so Jake would have something else he wanted Emily to do in the next few weeks.
Emily was very impressed with Jake because of these actions, after all, he was only thirteen when he made that first investment, even the great stock a.n.a.lysts thought that investing in tech companies was risky.
Emily knew that Jake was investing everything he had and that his family was not rich and could risk losing that money if she were not just Jake"s a.s.sistant and lawyer in charge of making the investments she would have advised him to withdraw that amount investment while he had a profit.
But time showed that she was wrong and stock values kept rising, so when Jake told her that she wanted to see the investment report of the past few years she thought Jake would sell his shares and stay with the profit.
But Jake looked like he"d never thought of doing this and invested almost the value he"d invested before, a few weeks ago Emily had made a meeting with Oliver, Matthew, and his father and they talked about a lot of things.
But one of the subjects that were most talked about was Jake, the four people were one of the few who knew that Jake had made that investment, at that meeting when she said that the actions had valued in 5 times Matthew and Emily"s father said they repented of not investing a few million.
After all, they would have a 5 times valuation in the stock, but this time Jake was investing again and Emily was sure that her father and Matthew still would not have the courage to invest in these actions, now she had to see if Jake would be right again.
After a few days if he spoke with Emily Jake pa.s.sed in the restaurant to talk to his mother and Anna, the two congratulated Jake again for being in another regional champions.h.i.+p final.
Since they were always very busy and could not talk to Jake for long, Jake had come a few times a week in the restaurant so as not to bother the two in the restaurant, the business was going well as always with the always crowded reservations.
So Jake talked to Lola for a while, but now it was dinner time, and everyone who had made reservations had already arrived so Lola as a receptionist was free for the time being.
After talking for a while Jake went home to rest, it would soon be the game of the regional champions.h.i.+p final, even if it should not be a game harder than the game the semifinal that opponents were at the level of the national champions.h.i.+p, would still be a game with more pressure for being the final.
The team was still training a lot to correct the mistakes in the style of game that happened in the last game, it was not much because the team managed to attack well in the game and did not waste many attacks which is important.
As the game started to slip away, Mark and Carter were using their skill at pressing to successfully stifle the game. Jake tried to focus their attacks down the middle. However, Jake did not manage to connect with it, as his teammates had hoped, and the ball went out.
So much so that when Nathan and Lucas entered the game Elite team defense had improved a lot and the opponents did not have much more s.p.a.ce to attack, yet Coach Mike had more confidence in David and Harrison for important games like that.
Jake agreed in parts with this, they managed to win last year with much more difficulties than that year, while Mark and Carter are playing well in defense and David and Harrison play well in the attack the team can be a winner as always.
In addition, Nathan and Lucas were very skillful but they too were very young and so the coach was afraid that they could not withstand the pressure of playing in an important game, as reserves whenever the team needed they could play.
With just a few days left for the regional champions.h.i.+p final, Matthew called Jake saying he was going to go to the company, Jake had already been warned by Oliver and so knew that it should be the new digital camera that was being produced.
So Jake was a bit nervous at the moment, after all, if the camera was bad the company would not be completely free of the risk of bankruptcy, Jake went to Matthew"s company expecting the first digital camera to be a success.
