Chapter 195 A Risky Investment That Will Make It Right 9

To earn more in more than 15 years or to earn less in a few years, everyone obviously chose to earn a lot in a few years, many of these people were old and wanted to have the money in a short time and were investing only because they saw that they had much to gain from the internet.

Nobody wanted to lose money even if it was to recover after more than a decade, not to mention that nobody believed that Jake could predict the market in so many years ahead, was what Jake really expected.

So Jake told Emily to still invest everything in Cisco stock, after all, it was the most profitable company and Jake knew the exact time to sell the stock, in other companies the gain was smaller and Jake did not remember when it was the best time to sell.

Even so, Jake thought this was the best time to invest in Cisco, the company would still appreciate nearly 20 times before the bubble burst, so that 30 million could become more than 600 million dollars.

Also, Jake thought that 30 million was too much to invest carelessly after all could even have a large part of a smaller company and interfere with their moves, Cisco would still not care about those 30 million now.

Jake might even say that these investors could have 40 times that amount in profit, Emily would certainly be a millionaire if he was entitled to half of her father's profits, so Jake wanted everything to be on a notary's record.

Because if he earned 10 percent of that value he would even be rich just standing there waiting for everything, even so, Jake was still more focused on doing this deal with Jeff Bezos because, in the long run, it would certainly be more money.

Too bad their friends did not want to invest now, that would be their last chance to make a lot of money on that investment, glad that Jake still knew more profitable investments in the future.

But nothing would be like that to earn 40 times the value invested in 5 years only, only if they try to invest in a company like Amazon after opening and waiting for more than 10 years to receive the investment.

But even Jake would not do anything like that, only if he did not really need the money by that time, so it might be worth it.

After leaving everything in the hands of Emily in the company they returned to concentrate on their training, marathon training would take time to see some result, but in basketball, he was just preparing for the challenge in a few more days.

At least now Jake knew how many points he had to make to break that record, he thought he would not have another chance to do it and now that he has again received the confidence of his coach and his teammates he should be able to break that record.

When Jake told Eva that he was trying to break that record again, Eva could not know how important this was, but she felt Jake was very serious and focused on it so at least she encouraged Jake by saying that he would succeed.

While Eva talked about this with Anna who also did not understand much about basketball Lola ended up hearing about it and was impressed, she was someone who understood well of basketball of so much to hear it of the young people who lived in its street.

So she had already been impressed with Jake winning the MVP award in the national championship and having done Triple-Double in several games, she knew how difficult it was against a weaker opponent.

So hearing that Jake would try to score more than 135 points, she honestly thought it was impossible, many young people on the street would show up when they scored 40 points in a game and said their goal was to score 50 points in a game.

So making more than 100 points was impossible for Lola, even the pros could not do it, but as she listened to the conversation she heard that Jake had already scored 123 points in the last game trying to break that record and would try to get it this time.

So Lola could no longer doubt that Jake could be capable of this, even more, she heard that this was an important moment for Jake, so she told Eva and Anna that she wanted to go to that game to cheer for Jake.

She was really curious to know if Jake could actually do this and also wanted to be there to cheer for Jake in the game, she was the one who was most unoccupied sometimes in the restaurant, Eva and Anna knew Lola liked Jake and how it was Jake's game, they let her make this surprise.

And so the days went by quickly and soon came the day of Jake's game, it was the third game of the state championship and everyone was more excited about this game, Jake woke up very early in the morning and ate his breakfast made by Eva.

Eva did not tell Jake even after he left that Lola would come to her game, she knew that even though Jake was more mature for his age since always he always was happy when someone known would go to a game of it.

When Jake arrived at the game site, everyone had arrived and was as relaxed as in the last game, Harrison himself said it would be good if Jake could try to break a record in every game, so they would be calmer.

Of course, everyone knew that this would be true until the state championship final, then they would have to have increasingly difficult games, so in this game, they would have to see if Jake could break his record.

The opposing team also had no players who could make a difference in today's game, plus everyone knew what Jake did in the last game and felt that it could be repeated in today's game, so the PG of that team was the most discouraged for having to defend against Jake.

Jake looked at the bleachers and saw that there were a lot more reporters for this game, Eric had also come as he had promised so Jake took another look at the bleachers and saw that Lola had also come to see this game.

Jake was happy about this, he was glad that someone he knew was in a game so important to him, Eva was sure he liked things like that.

So after a while the game started, Mark took possession of the ball to his team and passed it to Jake further back, Jake advanced to make the first attack for the Elite team in that game.

Jake passed the ball to David who was ahead, David advanced until after the line of three points and passed to Carter, later on, Carter held the ball for a while and passed back to Jake who was behind.

Jake got the ball behind the three-point line and tried the shot from outside to make the first 3 points for him and the Elite team, so the opposing team started the first attack of the game a little apprehensive, they did not know if it was just a normal attack or if Jake was trying to make over 100 points again.

So they made the move until it fell into the hands of the SF team that with space made the mid-range shot to make the first two points for their team, they realized that the Elite team seemed to be giving even more space for the play to end fast.

So Jake received the ball and advanced quickly to the attack, as everyone knew that Jake had to try to break this record they had to make the moves as quickly as possible to have more attacks in the game.

In the defense they could not give so much freedom to the opponent because Jake had to try to do 10 steals to obtain a triple Double also, so Elite team advanced quickly and the ball was passed to Jake that did another shot from outside to do 3 more points for the Elite team.

So the opposing team saw that something might actually be happening, but they could not do anything about it, they advanced quickly too and tried the mid-range shot with SG, but the ball did not go in and Jake was the one who went up to get the rebound.

So Mark, who saw this, knew he was right about what he said, so even if he wanted to play that rebound with Jake even though he was taller he would have lost that ball, so Jake was really letting the rebound for him and Carter.

At least the defenders in the offensive rebounds Mark and Carter were still the best positioned to take the rebound, yet Jake was not rushing and even if the team attacked quickly he expected everyone to position themselves before attacking.

After all, this was the third game of the state championship and they would have to respect their opponents if they did not want to risk being defeated.

After more than half of the first period to have passed Jake had made 10 attempts to shoot from outside and hit 9 of them, so he had 27 points in that period already, it seemed that his request worked and his luck was working harder today.

The opposing team had only 14 points so far losing 2 attacks that Jake took the defensive rebound, in that attack they were attacking quickly because they were following the pace of the Elite team, the SF of the opposing team passed the ball back to the PG.

But Jake anticipated and intercepted the ball making the first steal in the game, Jake immediately advanced to using his speed left the defenders of the opposing team behind and finished the play, making a dunk to make 2 more points in the game.

So the game continued and the first period ended and the Elite team was winning with 50 points against 20 only of the opposing team and Jake had made all the points, he tried 19 shots from outside and 16 entered so Jake still had a high average of the hit.

Even the opponents were impressed with this was almost 3 attempts to shoot from outside per minute, of course, this was possible only because in the three attempts he missed Mark took the rebound and passed it again.
