Of the more than 40 million dollars that Shaq would earn, Jake would earn only 4 million dollars for making that investment, compared to the billions of dollars that he would earn from his investments and the billions of dollars that he would earn from making the investments. Matthew's 4 million was not much.

Jake was really doing this just to try to help his friends as much as possible, Jake was sad that Clara and Tiffany missed the opportunity to invest with him and so they could earn much more than Shaq would.

Kobe, who was listening to the conversation between Shaq and Jake, found it hard to believe that Shaq was really willing to risk $ 10 million on a company he didn't know, he trusted Jake, but wouldn't invest that much money in a company that Jake himself said it was too risky.

Kobe had to admit that he was also interested in investing and thought it would be strange if only Shaq invested and he didn't, but he wouldn't risk investing that much money, besides if he saw after 1 year Shaq earning more than 40 million dollars and he won't regret anything.

"Jake, I trust you too and I also want to invest, but I can't invest 10 million dollars, so I'm going to invest 1 million dollars and if I win 4 times that amount I will also be happy."

"Okay, Kobe, I'm going to make you a lot of money, tomorrow I'm going to send someone to send my company's reports showing how the Cisco company has appreciated and you can make this investment after talking to your financial representatives."

Jake was happy to see that Kobe also trusted him and hoped to help Shaq and Kobe make a lot of money, after this business conversation they decided that they would start enjoying the rest day with a tennis game.

Jake told them that maybe it was not a good idea for them to play basketball because they were in three people and they had to stop thinking about basketball on that day off, Jake knew well that having a good team was important to winning the games, but he thought that if Kobe and Shaq played well, the Lakers team could win.

They played tennis and Jake lost both times because he had never learned to play tennis, but in his last loss, Jake had almost won the game after learning by playing both games.

After all, Kobe and Shaq didn't play tennis that well and Jake didn't get much of an advantage because the two were also high-level athletes even though they didn't have the system as he had, especially since they were playing just for fun.

After that they had lunch and enjoyed time by the pool and then ended the day watching a movie at the cinema that was at Jake's house, Shaq and Kobe left Jake's house more relaxed and Jake was also happy to spend the day with two of his idols.

As soon as Shaq and Kobe left Jake called Emily and asked her to prepare the reports and contracts for Shaq and Kobe, soon they would also invest and Emily was happy to see that the company would receive more money and she would also receive more money.

Emily also told Jake that the lawyers who were working to approve the patents Jake applied for had good news, Jake was hoping that he would soon get those patents and so he would guarantee billions of dollars in the future.

"Jake, the lawyers said they expect the patents you applied for will be approved by the end of the year, just as you suggested patents for using touchscreen technology and multi-touch technology for the smartphone model were approved."

"The other patents for how the smartphone will be used have also been approved, only the patents on the touchscreen and multi-touch technology they hope will take until the end of the year."

Jake was very happy to hear that, he knew that these patents on the touchscreen and multi-touch technology would take longer and so he asked lawyers to do more to approve these patents.

But in fact, it was the other patents that seemed less important that mattered more to Jake, with those patents other smartphone companies would have to ask Jake for authorization if they wanted to use the smartphone as it will be known in the future with touchscreen and glass screen.

Jake hoped that Charlie's team would be able to finish the initial prototype of the Android operating system technology and if they did, Jake could get several more patents that would make him richer.

Emily had already won contracts with ram companies, microprocessors, storage memory, and other important components, so Charlie's team already knew what operating system limitations they could create.

In fact, the operating system was already ready with the tips that Jake had given, but it currently only worked on larger computers with stronger components, now they had to optimize and weaken the Android operating system.

Charlie even told Jake that their operating system was better than that of Microsoft and Apple, so they could sell this version that they had for current computers, but Jake was against it and didn't want to face these big companies.

What Jake really wanted to do was just create the operating system and get the patents, then he would create a partnership with Google in the future and let them develop Android as long as he gained a lot from it too.

So Jake thought that if he didn't try to sell this operating system, companies like Microsoft and Apple wouldn't care about his small tech company when smartphones started being manufactured it would be different.

Jake would have the first operating system and as he already knew the future and already had the contracts with the companies that made the components he could maintain the leadership in the market for many years if he wanted to.

Jake was not afraid of big companies because he had a lot of support with Amazon and Google who would have to support him, after all, Jake was a partner in these companies and it would be bad for their image if companies like Microsoft and Apple put pressure on him.

The other day the Los Angeles Lakers team would play again and Jake would focus again on the games, the next 12 games would be the most difficult for the Los Angeles Lakers team and Jake remembered that they lost 6 of those 12 games in Jake's past life.

Jake would try to help the Los Angeles Lakers team not to lose any of those 6 games that they would normally lose, but he knew it wouldn't be easy, at least he knew that Dennis Rodman would not leave the team until the end of this season as it did in the past.

Soon almost 3 weeks passed and the Los Angeles Lakers team had played 11 games and only 1 game was left for the end of Jake's first NBA season, just as Jake hoped those 11 games were the most difficult of the season.

Even with Jake trying hard in those 11 games, the Los Angeles Lakers team still lost 3 games, it wasn't as bad as losing 6 games as the Los Angeles Lakers team would lose, but they had only lost 3 games before those 11 games and now they had 6 losses in the season.

The Los Angeles Lakers team lost to Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, and Houston Rockets, yet fans and media people praised the Los Angeles Lakers team who had 43 wins and 6 losses in 49 games this season.

Even with these 3 losses, Dennis Rodman remained on the team and Jake had not heard anything about him leaving the team, Jake was chosen again as the player of the month for the third time this season.

Of course, Jake was also chosen as the rookie of the month for the third time in a row and many said he would be chosen as the rookie of the year and had a good chance of winning the MVP of the season.

If Jake won he would be the third player in NBA history to win the MVP award in his debut season and also be the youngest player to be chosen as an MVP, Jake couldn't deny that he was excited about it.

Jake remembered that Karl Malone had won the MVP award this season and many said that he did not deserve this award and that it was the weakest MVP award in history, so Jake thought he very much deserved to win this award with the average of 34 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, and 8 steals per game.

Jake still had an average of 48 minutes per game and he certainly helped the Los Angeles Lakers team a lot to win many games, if he didn't win this season it would be because he was a rookie.

In the last game the Los Angeles Lakers team had won by making 131 points against 98 points by the Dallas Mavericks team, so fans of the Los Angeles Lakers team hoped that the Lakers team would win that last game at home.

Soon Jake went to the Great Western Forum where the game would take place and saw the crowd of the Los Angeles Lakers team that was very happy with the team and the fans would fill the Great Western Forum, many had the shirt with the number 7 of Jake and the fans they shouted Jake's name and his nickname, Captain America, too.

Jake had become one of the idols of fans of the Lakers team and of basketball fans in general, Jake had arrived shortly after Michael Jordan retired again and was a player with a different style who won the affection of fans with his talent.

Jake went to the locker room and soon went to the court with the other players of the Los Angeles Lakers team, everyone was excited about the team's last game of the season, coach Rambis had already said he would replace the main players for a long time, even so, the players wanted the victory.
