Chapter 492 A Great Deal 6

Jake had no doubt that Larry Page and Sergey Brin were smart businessmen, even with such a proposal from him, the two were still talking and discussing whether or not to accept Jake's generous offer.

Only after a long time that Larry Page went to call Jake at the entrance to the restaurant so they could give him an answer, Jake was not eager to hear their response, but Larry Page and Sergey Brin were anxious.

"Jake, we decided to accept your proposal, it really is a very good and fair proposal and if you really pass your voting rights on to us, then it will be a great deal for us too."

"This is good, I'm glad you decided to accept my proposal, I asked my assistant who is also my lawyer to prepare the contracts for us, you can ask your lawyer to come to Los Angeles so that he can review the contracts before you sign."

"It's okay, you can fax the contracts to our lawyers for review and if it's okay we'll sign right here."

Emily was still a few hours away from arriving in Los Angeles, so Jake asked if Larry Page and Sergey Brin would like to go back to the hotel to rest, in the meantime, Jake asked Emily to send a fax to Larry and Sergey's lawyers for the contract to be signed more quickly.

Jake was happy to have closed this big deal, even if because of him the company Google did not become a company of almost 1 trillion dollars, it would still be a great company because of the quality of the unique search engine that the site has.

Emily asked her trusted assistants to fax the contracts to Larry Page and Sergey Brin's lawyers and before Emily arrived in Los Angeles their lawyers had already reviewed the contract and said it was all as Jake had said.

Including the contract that Jake would pass the voting rights on his shares to Larry Page and Sergey Brin, seeing that it was all right the two could relax and were already decided that they would sign the contract with Jake.

Emily arrived in Los Angeles and Jake sent the driver to pick her up at the airport and take her to a hotel in the city as well after all these costs were low for Jake to treat his staff and guests well.

As soon as Emily packed her things at the hotel she already called Jake to ask when the contracts would be signed and Jake said it would be dinner, so she could rest for a few hours.

Emily was surprised when she learned how much Jake was going to invest in a company she didn't even know, but she learned to trust Jake's decisions, especially when it came to investment, as she met him before Jake managed to earn more than 1 million dollars.

In fact, Emily has repeatedly regretted not investing the money she had in Jake's investment company, but now she did not have the courage to invest in the Cisco company with all the market analysts saying the bubble would burst and all companies would lose billions of dollars in stock value when that happened.

So the driver brought Emily with the contracts to the restaurant where Jake was, soon after the driver brought Larry Page and Sergey Brin who were excited to sign the contract, they knew they were doing a good deal for Google.

"So? Did your lawyer review the contract Emily sent them?"

"Yes, everything is fine as you said it would be, we are ready to sign the contract."

So Emily took the contracts she had brought and everyone signed the contract very happy, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were happy because they had made an excellent deal and could continue to invest in the company.

And Jake was happy because he knew what it would be like in the future and how these actions could make him one of the richest men in the world having invested only 25 million dollars, with the shares he had invested in Amazon he could already become the richest man of the world in the future.

"Very well, I said that I will not interfere with your decision on how you should take care of the company, but I know that the company needs more investment to start having some revenue without doing anything that is against your moral values."

"So with this investment that I made the company is much more valued and with this investment you can further improve the company Google, even so, I suggest that in the coming months you look for Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield u0026 Buyers."

"Make a round of investment to raise a few million dollars, it maybe 25 million dollars or even more with the current valuation of the company, these are companies that provide initial investment in technology companies that can be very successful in the future."

"How much they don't invest doesn't matter much, but you can negotiate for some of their employees to join Google's board of directors just like they did with other big companies like Amazon and Yahoo."

"This is fundamental to the development of our company, I am also a partner at Amazon and I know how good their work is, another thing that you will have to do is to hire a president for the company."

"I'm not going to say when you should do this, but it is essential for our company to be even better, this is just advice that I am giving and you may not listen to me, but I have a good sense of investment."

Larry and Sergey were surprised because they didn't know that Jake was a partner at Amazon, and since Jake was saying that he was a partner, so he should have more than 5 percent of the company, they didn't know that and was even more impressed with Jake.

As Jake had given these councils they would go and search for these companies that he said Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield u0026 Buyers, if they were really good for the company they would talk to them.

So Jake talked to the two of them for a while and Emily also took part in this millionaires conversation and then Larry Page and Sergey Brin went to their hotel, Jake had booked a plane ticket for them the next day and they wanted to go back to work even more in the company now that they had a big investment.

"Thanks for coming here Emily, this was an important investment for me, after this negotiation, I will be able to focus more on basketball until we have to start selling the shares of the Cisco company."

"No problem, Jake, if you invested in this company they should make a big profit in the future, after all, the Amazon company you invested in has the company valued at billions of dollars, you will soon be a billionaire because of this company."

Jake knew that Emily was right, in 1999 Amazon would appreciate a lot and Jeff Bezos would enter the list of richest men in the world, this time Jake would also enter that list with a few billion dollars.

But Jake wouldn't mind that because Matthew would be on the top of that list in 1999 and in 2000 too, Jake already knew that in the future he would be the richest man in the world so he would start thinking about how he would use some of that money to help others.

Jake didn't want to have more than 100 billion dollars just to be the richest man in the world, he took advantage of those chances to invest in more business and earn more to help people, with the money he would receive in his NBA career would be the enough for Jake to live with his mother his whole life without worrying about money.

Jake waited until the driver came back to take Emily back to the hotel she was at and said goodbye to her, Jake went home because he would have to train with the Los Angeles Lakers team the next day and after completing this great deal he could relax.

In that month yet another important thing would happen in Jake's life, Kate had been nominated for the Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards, she had not been nominated for other awards just for her music to deserve because Kate's producer wanted her to win this award.

Jake remembered that Lauryn Hill had won this award and in that Grammy, she had won a total of 5 awards, so Jake believed that Kate could win this award with her company's strategy.

Currently, Kate was better known than Lauryn Hill, but that was not the most important thing because the Backstreet Boys were also very famous and did not win this award, unfortunately, Lily, who was Kate's manager, prevented him from going to this award with Kate.

After all, that would be the same as publicly assuming that he was dating Kate, Lily thought that this was not the right time to reveal their relationship and so Jake had to root for Kate watching the awards.

The 41st Annual Grammy Awards would take place at the end of February so Jake hoped Kate could win, so Jake had to think only about basketball for the next few weeks, the next day Jake woke up well and went to train with the team.

Arriving at training Jake was happy that Shaquille O'Neal was training with the team normally, but Jake soon realized that the other players didn't look very happy, he soon approached Rick Fox and asked what had happened.

"It looks like Robert has a health problem and is not going to be able to play the next games, he will lose at least the next 6 games, so we are not going to play with the full team in the next games."

"What a pity, he was playing very well in the last games and helping a lot in defense, is his health problem very serious?"

"I don't think so, after all, he will be playing again this season, so there is not much risk to his life."
