<h4>Chapter 193 A Risky Investment That Will Make It Right 7</h4>


    In fact, Jake did not know but he did not have the record of most points made in a game so far, in college basketball in the ’50s a yer made 113 points, Jake was remembering a piece of news he read in 2012 where a yer college students scored 138 points in one game.


    But Jake was now in 1995, so he was far from 2012 yet, at university he could try to break that record again with more game time, yet without the inte people just remembered Wilt Chambein’s 100-point record.


    But that record was far more impressive than Jake’s 123 points because even if an NBA game had more time, the opponents were much more difficult and the game was much more tiring.


    Jake still had a lot to improve in another 5 years to get the chance to do that many points, but nowadays this was impossible even with another 5 years Jake still thought it was impossible for him to reach that level even with the help of the system.


    After that Jake went home happy and satisfied, he had achieved a difficult thing and a difficult goal in a yer’s life, so he was much more motivated to reach the NBA and improve even more.


    In fact Jake had heard of a 100-point curse in his past life, people who could make 100 plus points in a game ended up not ying for the NBA in their careers, so he was more than willing to do away with it.


    Jake did not forget to call his mother to tell him about the victory and also about the record, Eva was very happy with the news about the victory, but she could not even know how to react by listening to Jake’s record.


    After all, it was something that nobody talked about much, but as Jake was happy she was happy too, so Jake can rest well after a game like that.


    But the other morning Jake heard a piece of news that made him sad, that he had not been able to beat the record for more points made in a single game in high school, Eric was the one who had heard this from his fellow reporters and called to warn Jake about this.


    The record was for Danny Heater and it was in 1960, it was a record with 135 points in 32 minutes, Jake thought it was incredible he had a triple Double, but Heater had done 7 assists and 32 rebounds in the same game, which was more incredible for Jake.


    If Jake had not tried to keep Triple Double making 10 assists he could have made at least another 30 points in the first period, but now it was toote toin, yet it was still an incredible record.


    Jake thanked Eric for warning him otherwise he could have been ashamed, fortunately, he told his mother that he had just broken a record and did not say he was the one who had the most points.


    Now Jake thought it was a good idea to forget about it, after all, he was very selfish in this game and should not try again.


    At school no one elsemented on this, Jake was a little sad because this was a private school that was more focused on studies, so people cared more to get good grades than what was happening in the sport.


    Of course, at this point Jake was very respected for having the highest grade in the ss, now they could say that Jake was the best student of the school with his perfect grades in thest year and still contributing with titles in the school basketball team.


    Joseph who understood more about basketball congratted Jake a lot on this incredible record since he started dating Liza and still with the universitying they were less time getting together.


    Jake was also very busy with business, basketball, athletics, and his mother who thought it normal for Joseph to be busy too, but Jake did not know Joseph did not feel the same way.


    When they met the two were only 10 years old, Jake liked Joseph because he was very simple like him and had no friends and even being rich did not care about the money he had.


    But Jake forgot that in fact Joseph was still 10 years old at the time and was alone for not having friends, so he looked like that when the years went by as normally happens when he grows older Joseph’s personality also began to change.


    And Jake was still the same because his mentality was over 40 and would not change anymore, so after 6 years of friendship much changed for Joseph, he became aware that his family was rich and what it meant to have money.


    Before his friends were all selfish and so the money was bad for Joseph, but he was still young at that time and forgot everything, so Joseph sought to be the best student in the room and also to lose weight to look like Jake.


    After Joseph slimmed down and his grades improved and he still got a girlfriend he was proud to be better than Jake as his family was richer then Matthew and Oliver told Joseph that Jake had saved his familypany with business tips.


    Also, Jake was getting acquainted with basketball and was earning his own money with effort, so Joseph’s pride became envious of his friend’s sess, Jake was still more handsome, had better grades, was better at business and saved thepany from Joseph’s family.


    And now Joseph learned that Jake helped thepany a lot to make a lot of money and they could raise thepany’s worth by more than 10 times in a few years, so Matthew had given 5 percent of thepany to Jake.


    So Joseph’s envy only increased, Jake was ying basketball and doing business while he was the best student in the ss, while Joseph was still having to stop seeing Liza just to be able to study harder to get a better grade.


    Even though he still liked Jake and still considered himself a friend of his, he was grateful that he helped his family’spany, he supported his grandfather’s decision to give 5 percent of Jake’s stock.


    Oliver, who was his father, perceived this very well, but he thought it was normal for Joseph, who was in his teens, all of which could help Joseph build his personality and character more by the time he grew up.


    So Oliver thought it was important to choose who was his son’s friend because it all influenced a person’s personality as he grew up, and Jake was the best friend Joseph could have.


    That’s because even though Joseph was jealous of Jake he was still a lot better than most of his age, but with Jake as aparison he could be humble even with all that, and Oliver thought that humility was very important for a man to have.


    After Jake went to the basketball team’s training, he told everyone on the team that he had not broken the record and everyone was a bit disappointed as he was, so everyone asked what Jake would do.


    And so Jake said that he would forget about this subject that had not worked, but hispanions did not agree with him if Jake had put as his goal to break this record it was better that he could do it.


    So everyone said they agreed that he had to try again to be worth it, even coach Mike and Liza weighed the same, so Jake would put the Elite team’s name back in history, even the school president agreed with this when he heard that Jake almost got inst game.


    Even Eric said that if Jake was to try again he would go to the game to register all this it was rare that a yer could have confidence in breaking a record of this and to n before a game, usually this was an ident and sometimes even if the yer stayed alone on the court for 32 minutes could not make more than 135 points.


    So Jake agreed that he would try one more time, he would have just one more chance as it was almost impossible for something like that to happen in a semi-final or state championship final, the national championship was even harder toe by.


    While I thought Matthew had gotten morerades across the country and in Europe too, with Matthew guaranteeing that thesepanies would not lose money selling their cameras, his reputation helped a lot.


    Matthew had also increased production at his factory, so he was prepared to sell 1 million digital cameras if customers wanted to buy, so thepany’s stock market appreciated thepany’s good ie outlook.


    Matthew thought of going to Asia too, but Jake was against it, he thought it was not good forpetitors to take notice of thepany before they sold too much and were more entrenched in the digital camera market.


    Themercials were also being nned to go to television, Jake wanted to help in themercial, but gave up when he learned that Matthew’spany had a department specialized in that, this was to be expected of apany that was more than 30 years in the market.


    Jake had no news of Emily as well, it was normal for him to be slow to find someone like that and Jake gave him more than 2 months of time, so Jake wanted to make sure this business worked out fine.


    The thing that worried Jake more now was Tiffany and ra that did not give any news, as Jake had not been able to speak with Tiffany after returning from Chicago he tried to speak with ra and also it did not obtain anything.


    So the two did not know that Jake had nearly broken a record, yet it was an incredible feat that could get some attention for his sponsors as John and n used for theirpany.


    But now Jake could not do anything about it as no one asked for his help, besides, Jake was busy thinking about the best way to break that record in a week, and he still had to train for the next marathon.
