Chapter 447 1998 NBA Draft 5

"I also hope that we can work together again, I hope that you are very successful in your next films and that everyone knows more about your talent, I also hope that you are going to watch some game on my team, I send the tickets to you on the front row."

"For sure, if you send the tickets and I'm not working, I will watch your games."

Jake was very happy to befriend one of his idols Keanu Reeves, he can also work with Tom Cruise, but he was unable to be as close to Tom Cruise as he was able to with Keanu Reeves, afterward Jake still spoke with other actors and especially with Laurence Fishburne who became friends with him too.

Jake also talked to Carrie-Anne Moss, she was very kind, but Jake was shyer around her because he was also a fan of her because of the movie The Matrix, but Jake didn't know how to make friends with beautiful women.

He befriended Tiffany, Clara, and Emily because he worked with them and met them when he was a child, but with Carrie-Anne Moss, he was unable to talk as well as he talked to others.

Jake would try to solve this problem because otherwise, he would have a hard time making friends in society, luckily it seemed that it was only with her that he was most famous, because he managed to talk to the other women on the film crew who were also beautiful.

After filming Jake had finished his work, he would have to do the audio recording of his scenes in the film after editing because when recording the scenes the audio of the actors was very noisy, but this he could do in Los Angeles.

Jake has not yet been to Miami or Los Angeles after finishing filming, Jake had to go to the Silicon Valley in San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California, because after the end of filming Emily asked Jake to go there.

Jake naturally accepted it because he had things he wanted to do in this region anyway, it seemed that the technology company that Charlie's team ran there was in need of more employees and more resources to do what Jake had asked.

Of course, even though Jake trusted Charlie and his friends who made the prototype of the smartphone with the touch screen, Jake still asked them to sign some confidentiality and intellectual property contracts.

That's because even if they were the ones who developed the technology it was at Jake's request and the idea for the products was Jake's and the most important points for development were passed on to Charlie's team by Jake.

In the past, Jake invested a few million dollars in the company they worked for and equipment to develop touchscreen and multi-touch technology, but although Jake accepted that they had some temporary employees he did not want anyone else to work on the development of the product.

But this time just money wasn't enough and Charlie's team needed more programmers to create the new technology's algorithms for creating the Android system, as that was an important subject Emily who knew Jake had finished filming decided to ask that he himself decided.

"Hi, Emily, how long have I not seen you, are you all right?"

"Yes, Jake, I have had a lot of work taking care of your companies, but all of this is very rewarding seeing the growth in the value of the shares and also the patent processes that you have requested that are progressing well and without much competition in the market and neither many barriers."

"This is good, thanks for the work you are doing, Emily, I can only go to the shoot and also soon go to Los Angeles because I trust you and your work."

"Thanks, I called you here because of Charlie's request, he says that to make the Android system he needs more employees and more developers."

"I understand, I was hoping for that when I asked him to create this operating system, you can let me talk to him, you can prepare more restricted contracts for the employees who will work at my company."

"So you will allow the hiring, I understand, I will prepare everything, you have to ask Charlie to take care of the hiring because I don't have time for that, then I will send you the budget."

"Okay, I'll see you soon Emily."

Jake naturally hoped that Charlie's team would not be able to create the Android system easily, he hoped that Charlie needed help because there was still no smartphone that the system he had to create.

So Charlie's team had to do this on computers that weren't quite that powerful and the operating system that Jake was asking for was more advanced than the system Apple and Microsoft used for computers.

The worst was that with Jake saying the most important points and how it worked Charlie realized that it was possible and the way Jake spoke it seemed even simple, but he had no idea how to do it without help.

"Hi, Charlie, it's good to see you, I came because Emily said you need to hire more employees?"

"Yes, Jake, it's good to see you too, I can't even begin to create the codes for the Android system you told me, it's very complex and it seems more difficult than creating an operating system for a computer."

"That's right, it's really more difficult than creating an operating system for a desktop, after all, it's the same principle, only that it has to work with fewer components, I came here to approve that you hire employees."

"But you have to do an interview and choose only the best and everyone has to sign the exclusive contracts and they cannot sell this idea to other companies."

"Thanks, Jake, I will be able to successfully do what you want with more help."

"I believe in you, but I came here to better explain to you how you can start creating this operating system."

So Jake started explaining to Charlie that he had now studied much more about operating systems after those months, Jake explained that he needed hardware to make the Android system work.

He needed a RAM memory, a smaller motherboard the size of a smartphone, BIOS, battery, a small microprocessor like the cache memory, data storage device and the other things that were important for a smartphone to work and the system Android would have to make this work.

Now that Charlie understood a little more about what Jake was talking about he understood how much work they would have and how difficult it would be to do what Jake had asked for, luckily he knew a few things after making the smartphone and he understood a little of what Jake was thinking.

Jake told Charlie in the future to think about putting a Sound Card and a video card that would be very important, but now he wanted him to create a smartphone that would work as a regular cell phone and had it work with a touchscreen.

And for that he had to create a Software using the Linux kernel and the C and C ++ language, Jake explained that he wanted only simple things and with that Charlie finally knew what he and his team could do to start.

After that conversation, Charlie said that for now he would not need employees and Emily knew that, Jake was confident that Charlie could do this with his team and so he was willing to invest a few million dollars.

"Charlie, you and your friends studied at Stanford University, can you arrange a lunch with some of the students at that university? I need to talk to them about something."

"Sure, I can do that, what's their name?"

"It's Larry Page and Sergey Brin."

Jake knew since he hired Charlie that he had studied at Stanford, so he had thought for many years to meet Larry Page and Sergey Brin who were the creators of the Google company with Charlie's help.

Of course, Jake thought about meeting with them a few years earlier, but Jake knew he would be very busy and would not have time to do almost anything, Larry Page and Sergey Brin had already created the Google company and started a business.

So Jake thought that this could be the ideal time to talk to them, after all, he knew the story that the two tried to sell the company Google in 1999 to the CEO of Excite, George Bell for 1 million dollars.

So Jake, who was smart, thought about investing a few million dollars right after they failed to sell the company, so they would certainly accept it because they were even thinking about selling the company, and Jake would get a large percentage of the company.

Of course, Jake would not ask for much and would still make several deals to ensure that Larry Page and Sergey Brin always continued with many shares in the company and thus he would ensure that the future he knew for that company happened.

If Jake achieved this he could even pass on the development of the Android operating system to Google in the future as it was originally, but of course, it would always be his patent and his idea.

In a company like Google, helping to develop the company was sometimes more important than just investing money in the company, so Jake would ensure that he would always have some authority in the company even if he didn't think about doing anything to change how things were.

So Jake went to a hotel near his company, Charlie was very prestigious at Stanford University because he was always a good student and was working on developing important products.

In the future Charlie's team would be known for developing touchscreen and multi-touch technology, creating the prototype of the smartphone and also developing the Android operating system that would be the most used by smartphone companies worldwide in the future.

Just as Jake hoped Charlie got the meeting Jake wanted with Larry Page and Sergey Brin, he said that Jake was a very important businessman who invested in various areas of technology which was true and so the two agreed to come over to where Jake was to find with him.
