Chapter 284 Small Vacation at Home 2
"Anna is right Jake, I'm just glad to see you after so many months."
"I also missed you, Mom, I hope that next year I may have more time to get home, after the basketball season is over I will definitely stay here a long time."
Jake was even thinking about it, as he more than three months straight playing nonstop he knew he would have to stay a long time without coming home, so he had to enjoy it after the basketball season ended.
Not to mention that he had a lot to do right now and these things would just get more complicated to solve if it took many months to solve, so he at least had to better organize his time since from here to front his life would always be so.
Then they talked for over 1 hour and Jake took the initiative to go home so as not to bother his mother that he had to start working at the restaurant, He knew that if Eve could, she would stay home only and not work at the restaurant during this week when Jake would be home.
But Eva also had her responsibilities and couldn't do it the same way that Jake couldn't just drop the training and classes to go home for missing his mother.
After a few more hours Eva would finish her hours at the restaurant and go home, so Jake went quickly home with the taxi and just left his stuff before entering the taxi again and going to Matthew's house.
He wanted to talk to Matthew because he was sure that they had a lot to talk about after almost 4 months, he didn't have time to know the business progress of the company, but he knew that before he went to university the sales of digital machines already Had surpassed the value of the previous year.
As soon as he arrived at Matthew's house the housekeeper opened the door and let Jake in to go out to warn Matthew that he was here, Matthew had already warned his employees to treat Jake as they treated his own family.
"Jake, what a pleasant surprise, I didn't expect you could still come that year, I've been hearing about how you've been busy at the university, it looks like you're really going to be an NBA player from here a few years."
"Oliver, I'm glad you're here at your father's house, I was going to spend later in your house, you seem to have been doing well in those months."
"You also look very well."
Oliver was really impressed with what Jake had done that year, he used to think that Jake was going to pursue a career as an entrepreneur and just play basketball and run for a hobby while he was studying.
But that year the things Jake did change Oliver's thought, Jake had totally shown his talent running in marathons winning many marathons that year and even won the Olympic gold medal and broke the world record.
After that Oliver knew that Jake would not stop running even after graduating from the university and would continue as a professional runner, this was normal after all he was already at the height of the sport even being so young, so he could continue his whole life Running and winning and creating a legend.
Shortly after Oliver learned that Jake was also playing very well basketball at the university, and still played well on the UNC's Tar Heels team that was where Michael Jordan played a few years ago, so Oliver understood that Jake could actually also become a professional and get into the NBA if you want.
This made Oliver quite confused, other people did not know, but Oliver knew well how successful Jake was in the business world even before he was 17, now with almost 18 years Jake could be considered a successful entrepreneur.
In addition to the stock market investments that Jake's company made that had given many profits, Jake still had a 5% stake in his father's company that thanks to Jake's counties not only fled from bankruptcy as he also gained more than 2 billion of sales last year and won, even more in that year.
So it was normal for Oliver to think that Jake would follow a career as an entrepreneur, he was even doing a course at the university related to administration and economics, now Oliver was confused about what Jake wanted to do when he was successful in everything he did.
"And Joseph? Did you come home for the holidays? "
"He showed up at home for a few days just to visit, but then went on a trip with his girlfriend, I didn't like any of this because they're not married yet, but even Liza's parents didn't care so I couldn't say anything against this trip."
"I went to Joseph's university to play a game a few days ago, but they said he had gone out for the holidays, so I thought he might be here."
It was like Jake thought, even though Joseph spent some time at home on vacation he was now traveling with Liza, Jake knew that Liza was not with Joseph because he was interested in his family's money and really liked Joseph.
But her family was more interested in the money that had Joseph's family than in his personality, so they wanted Liza not to lose the opportunity and stay as much as possible with him, after all, they wanted Liza to have a good marriage and had an easy life after getting married.
As Liza also loved Joseph it was clear that she would not refuse what her family was thinking to her, Joseph was not dumb and should also know about it, but how he loved Liza he did not care and wanted to stay with her on this vacation after spending a few months long and hers.
Even though Jake was a little sad about not being so close to his childhood friend he knew that after a few years they would have to get close again anyway because they would work together for Matthew's company.
After Joseph mature and married Liza, he would think more of his friends and see what he had only Jake as a close friend, so naturally, they would be close again.
As they walked into Matthew's office they talked about several things, it seems that in those months Oliver was working more with Matthew in the company than in his own law firm that he left in the hands of some competent officials.
After all, Matthew's company was also a client of Oliver's law firm, and after Jake gave some advice and Matthew's company was growing and selling a lot in those months it was natural for Oliver to be busier.
After Jake warned him about the time that Matthew's company was at risk of failing, Oliver was more concerned about the company's progress that his son would assume in the future, and Matthew was happy now that Oliver was a lawyer, because Oliver's firm helped Matthew in many judicial matters that Matthew understood nothing.
This included some patents on the company's new products that they were creating after Jake's tips, this digital camera business was a market that Jake had not researched much in his past life.
So he could give only a few counties about technology and product development, Jake also talked about future market projections as he knew well the future was very useful to Matthew.
But Jake did not know who owned the patents of the products he suggested that Matthew's company would develop, so he gave a county so that Oliver would try to get as many patents as they could to prevent competitors from imitates them and also to win some money in case the competitors broke their patents.
Incredible that it was many things that Jake had given counties and the company Matthew had developed had no patents about it, and the few things that had patents did not affect the United States, so they could produce their products quietly.
"Jake, what a great surprise you were showing up around here, I didn't expect you could still come that year. "
"Hahaha Many said the same thing as you Matthew, it seemed that no one expected to see me that year, and how have you been?"
"I have been good thanks to you, you should also be very well, I heard everything you conquered in that no, I was very impressed to see how you have grown since you were a child, your mother must be very proud of you."
"Thanks for the compliment, so Matthew, I've come all the way here because I'm curious as to the sales of the year, you should be almost closing the financial statement this year, I have to go back to college in a few more days, so tell me Sales that year. "
"Hahaha I imagined that you would be curious about it, it was all better than we expected, it seems that these two years were the turning point for the fate of our company, already gave to pay the shares that I rewarded you dozens of times."
Matthew was really happy to have trusted Jake, he was selling this digital camera just to take care of the company for a while and Jake always said that what they could earn more and longer was when they sold the cameras along with the companies that make mobile phones.
Not to mention that these cameras that they were selling were just a pre-sale to gain more resources, it was the most modern in the market because Jake passed a very advanced technology to them.
But the next camera that was already ready is that it would truly be the most modern digital camera, so Matthew had much more hope for the sales of this new digital camera.
"I'm seeing that you're really curious to talk about sales so I'm not going to do any more mystery, first I'll talk about the sales of the webcams you recommended we do."
"We started only a few months, with higher quality than the webcam that is currently best sold in the market we achieved some good results in sales."
"We still sell for a price similar to the current camera, we got 100 million dollars in sales in those few months, and nearly 40million dollars in profit in those sales."
