After a few days Jake went to record both John and Alan's corporate commercials, he went to the same place where he recorded the commercial for Tiffany and Clara's companies, of course, that was because Jake recommended them.
John and Alan knew that Jake was a little famous now and would be even more so after this year and unlike the Tiffany and Clara companies they had been given a big budget to record a great commercial that could be used for a few years.
So they wanted to use a well-known advertising company to record this commercial and so guarantee the quality, but as Jake had recommended they decided to give a small company a chance to do a good job.
This small advertising company was bigger than before and had some success in some commercials, but as Jake was famous and brought two companies to make one commercial they still made a lower budget, so John and Alan, as well as their business, we're very pleased with it.
Before he started recording the commercials for the companies Jake toured the company premises and other studios, but he couldn't find Kate again, Jake knew it was impossible to happen again by coincidence.
But Jake trusted that his luck could help and he could find Kate again, but that didn't happen, in fact, he even thought that as Kate was famous now she should work with a larger advertising company now.
He didn't even know why he decided to look for her, after all, they had only spoken once, Jake thought it must be because it was nice to meet someone famous and went back to prepare for the recording.
The recording of the first commercial would be John's company, it would be similar to several commercials that Jake saw in his past life, the company that was recording the commercial called several actors to impersonate athletes and Jake was the one that stood out.
There were some scenes of Jake firing some shots off and hitting and other scenes of Jake running, in the end, everyone takes a can of energy drink from the company and smiles at the camera while holding the can and were sweaty after playing sports.
After they put up a slogan showing that the energy drinks company supported sports, Jake thought it was very simple and didn't look very good, but as the company that recorded the commercial and John found it very good, he said nothing.
In fact, the commercial was good by the time it was recorded, Jake was the one who was used to more elaborate commercials in his past life, but he didn't know that the purpose of John and the company that was recording the commercial was to send a message. positive for the commercial while the focus of the commercial was Jake who was handsome and would be famous as an athlete.
Then Jake took a break while the recording crew prepared to make the second commercial, as Jake had learned to act a little in his past life was so easy for him to make a simple, speechless commercial without making mistakes.
What Jake didn't know was that there was a famous movie director in Hollywood who was watching Jake making these commercials, like someone from New York and with good memory this director remembered seeing a Jake commercial on television a few years ago.
He also remembered that Jake had recently come second in the New York Marathon and on the broadcast said that Jake had won a marathon in Chicago and was a basketball player.
As a film director, he didn't care much about sports, but he thought Jake was very handsome and that he had an elegant style to be an actor and had a talent for acting, of course, he thought he could give only simple characters in movies for Jake to play.
Athletes who performed in even talentless movies could lure their fans into the cinema and increase box office, and Jake could still perform normally which would be best for him if Jake could win a few more marathons or join the NBA would be a big blow. publicist having Jake in his movies.
Jake who didn't realize he was being watched began preparing to record another commercial, this one even though it was still simple Jake thought it was more elaborate than the previous one.
In this Jake was in the room facing the door of the house, so he bends down and gets ready to go out for a run, first, he who is already in sportswear takes a sports bag and puts a towel and a bottle of water inside from the bag.
Then he puts on his socks and running shoes, so he looks around as if checking if he has forgotten something and leaves the house, after a few moments he comes back with the bag and goes to the bathroom and gets a shaver from Alan's company and says'now I'm ready', and then I grab the bag and run out of the house.
The commercial was trying to show that shaving was also important for an athlete not to be sloppy at home, after all, it was a necessary kind of hygiene for athletes who always seek to improve performance.
Jake again made the whole scene that was long without making any mistakes, it made them finish faster and also that the commercial seemed more natural, even the watching movie director approved of Jake's efficiency.
After that Jake, who had already finished recording, left for home while John and Alan stayed behind to arrange some more, Jake didn't know that these commercials were what would finally make him famous.
After all, Jake had always appeared in the media for many years, but this year he would have a lot of exposure with these two commercials, marathon races, the Olympics, and maybe even college basketball games.
After that, Jake just rested at home and on the last day of vacation Emily finally came up with good news for Jake, she hoped she could get it much sooner, but she had the investment firm to take care of and so she was late.
"I finally found who you were looking for, Jake, he's really starting a business that sells books like eBay, I don't know if it can succeed as you expect, but I got his phone number and address for you."
Jake just laughed at that, Amazon sold books online, so it was completely different, but in the future, it would also sell several other products, so Jake found it funny that Emily had accidentally predicted the future.
Emily thought Jake was laughing at her, after all, she didn't do much research about the company Jeff Bezos started because Jake had just asked her to find the person and not investigate what that person was doing.
"You did a good job Emily, I swear you just delayed because you were worried about company and stock investments, but even though it's a lot of money you don't have to check it all the time."
"Just look at the stock change record after the stock market closes, only after 1999 I think we will have to be more careful with those stocks."
Emily trusted Jake, but thought Jake was too confident and that could cause him to lose millions in the future, after all, she learned the stock market was a risky market where the investor always has to be alert to the indications that the stock may fall.
It wasn't like a risk-free investment like savings where you can just leave the money there for a few years and then withdraw when you wanted to, Emily thought Jake had a lot of talent for the stock market, which is why he was making so much money Having nothing before.
So she thought that as Jake's secretary it was her job to take care of the details Jake set aside, which is why Jake decided to give Emily a percentage of stock, talented and loyal people were what Jake would need in the future.
But Jake was certainly not careless about the stock, in his past life he was also like Emily and checked the stock value several times a day for any sign before selling or buying more stock.
Now Jake was calm because he knew what the future would be, but since he couldn't tell anyone that, it was better than people thought he was arrogant.
In addition, Emily's father and his friends invested $ 30 million in Jake's investment firm, so even though he knew everything was going as expected it was really good that Emily and her company's employees were always on the lookout for moves of the stock market.
So investors would be reassured that Emily and the others were really dedicated to taking care of their money, so Jake wasted no more time and called Jeff Bezos's office to talk to him.
Jake identified himself as an investor and said he wanted to talk to Jeff Bezos when possible, the company secretary asked if Jake wanted to schedule a meeting, but since Jake was in Miami that was not possible, so he had to wait to talk later over the phone with Jeff Bezos.
By late afternoon his call could finally be made and he would talk to Jeff on the phone, Jake was nervous when the moment finally came, it wasn't just because Jeff Bezos was famous in the future, but that depending on what they talked on the phone was very Jake could become one of the richest men in the future.
"Hi here is Jeff speaking, who is it?"
"Hi Jeff, my name is Jake Smith and I'm from Miami."
"And what would you like to talk to me about, Jake?"
"I've been investing in technology companies for a few years, I have a feeling this time is great to invest in these companies and make money."
"But as much as I can earn from big business is very little, even 30 million don't make the company pay attention to me."
"So I wanted to invest in a start-up tech company that I felt had great potential, so I've heard about your company, I think the idea of selling books online is very good and can make it very successful."
"And I think your company might develop a lot in the future, so I'd like to talk to you about the possibility of me investing in your business, what do you think about that?"
