Chapter 132 The Decision Defining the Future 1
"I’m saying this, do you understand how important it is that you hire my company and accept my councils or not?"
So Matthew and Oliver finally understood why Jake was being so serious about this whole situation, bankruptcy for a company was one thing that should not be said jokingly, so Jake was trying to make it as formal as possible.
Yet it was hard for them to believe that if they did not make a change the company of more than 15 years could end up failing, at most they thought they could miss a very good opportunity.
But something told them that what Jake was saying was true and that could not be changed, in fact, what was influencing them now was Jake’s charm, leadership, and eloquence that had been maximized by the system when he talked about Business.
But that only happened because what Jake was talking about was an absolute truth that he knew to have come from the future, the more truth the matter was and the more conviction Jake had to speak, but whoever he heard would believe it.
"Well Jake, I’ll believe you, for now, so you tell me what your councils are and if it’s not something very absurd I might consider and so you’ll be hired."
"Okay, let’s start first with the change that can make your business more successful or end up failing, as you all know people are lazy most of the time and do not want to make a lot of effort when they do something."
"So today not everyone has a camera at home, why? This is because people have to take the trouble to buy the film reel to take the pictures and after that, they have to reveal the pictures, am I sure?"
So Matthew and Oliver thought a little and saw that what Jake said was right, if everyone had a camera at home the companies would be much richer and there would be many more companies on the market.
"Now try to imagine if a person had a camera and did not even have to buy rolls of film or reveal it, people could take pictures from anywhere and even make videos and hundreds of them, then they could see anywhere or even send them to friends, if so, do you think people would want to have a camera?"
What Jake described was difficult to even imagine for Matthew and Oliver, if what Jake said was possible the cameras would truly be much more sold and the companies would make millions of dollars.
"This is the power of technology, in a few years everything I said to you may be possible, but it is clear that such a good market will have a lot of competition and will also have the patent barrier, so it’s best to start early with this."
"What I said to you is already being developed now and it’s called a digital camera, in the beginning, these photos can only be transferred to a computer, but in the future, it will be in several places, now I’m going to talk about more barriers and opportunities."
"As I said before, the future will be for computers and cell phones, but why this? This will happen because computers and mobile phones will absorb and develop various technologies and products into one."
"Imagine this computer and cell phone that you know today being smaller and more practical and having a digital camera, a music player and television among other things? With that everyone would just need a cell phone and a computer and the rest will be obsolete. "
So Matthew and Oliver were confused again before Jake said that the digital camera could be the future and now he said that even if the company changed, it would still risk going bankrupt.
"This is what I want you to understand, this is one of the markets that have the greatest opportunities, but it is also the most difficult market to compete, only being in front of everyone that you can conquer the best achievements."
"But what I said about computers and cell phones is also an opportunity for digital camera companies, like this? You can be the first to develop the technology and thus provide for these companies."
"Imagine if every person in the world has a cell phone and each home has a computer, in addition, with the new technologies developing people would switch phones every year if you were the supplier of products to these companies could earn hundreds of millions every month at least."
"It means that all of this is risky, but it is a great future for those who know the way to go and I want to help you along that path, but like I said you can not avoid it if you do not adapt your company to the less you enter the digital camera market, your business will not have a future."
So Matthew was quiet for a while, he had to think about what he could do for his company in the future, he did not want his company to end up failing because he did not know how to fit into the market and as Jake said this is key to an entrepreneur.
Not to mention that as Jake said this is also a great opportunity, and all he had to do was take the first step, so he at least would not risk the failure.
"Alright, Jake, I believe you, so you can tell me what I can do to keep my company from going broke."
"I know that although you trust me will not immediately change your business and risk everything, so I recommend you open a section in your factories intended to make digital cameras, so if what I said really happens you may just give up make your film cameras and develop more digital cameras."
"And for this to happen I suggest you hire several people who work with technology to develop this for you, and whatever you can try to put a patent on it, if any small business is developing this too you can try to buy that company to take advantage of technology."
So Matthew and Oliver agreed with what Jake said if they did they would be prepared for the future and at the same time they would be taking care of themselves in case what Jake said did not happen.
When Jake saw that they accepted their councils he was relieved, he was very tense and nervous about having to try to convince these people, after all, Jake cared a lot about Joseph’s family and did not want them to end up losing everything because he did not try.
But now he was quiet because he did everything he could have done if the company was still closing because it was to be closed, Jake did not really want to do many things to change the future and so he did not try to create a company for his win with if future knowledge.
Maybe that is why fate chose him to go back to the past if it was someone else, he would try to do everything to get rich and change the whole future, the truth is that Jake wanted very much to be an actor too, so he came to think of work with movies too.
But that would affect many things and many people, so he did not try to do any of this, and even if he was called to make a famous movie he would not agree to do, Jake was very conscious to do things.
As for what Jake said about wanting his company to be hired was not really true, he did it just to show that what he had to say was serious and not a joke, it now depended on Matthew’s ability to do business, Jake help in all he could just open a company of it and get rich alone.
Moreover, the truth was that Jake did not have the money to start a business now if he took the money he invested in stocks he still would not have enough and would lose the chance to get rich without having to do anything.
After Jake returned home and talked to his mother normally to go to bed, Eva could never know that Jake had spent the whole day trying to fulfill her dream and would have participated in a conversation that could be worth millions for many companies.
The next day Jake woke up early and ate for breakfast and soon got ready to go to school, after all Emily still had to take a few weeks to get everything he asked for her, as he also settled the matter of Matthew’s company he could once again worry only about the state championship that would soon begin.
In fact Jake was thinking nostalgically that maybe this could be the last trip he would make with Eva on New Year’s Eve, after all, next year his mother’s restaurant would be complete and she could not just go out to travel.
And in a few years even if Eva can arrange things and travel again, Jake may also not have the free time to travel, as to make a trip with Jenny he would not do unless he was married to her.
And so the days went by again, today would be the day that the Elite team would play the first game of the state championship, everyone was looking forward to it, Jake talked to his teammates and they said that the state high school championship was very disputed.
The teams were very strong and last year if David did not return to the team and take all the victory in the last games they could be eliminated.
Of course this year the team would have both Jake and Harrison besides David, so they thought he could win.
