Chapter 338 Busy Holiday 2
If they hadn't been quick, maybe some people had died, mostly because no one knew how to open a lifeboat and almost everyone was drunk. Jake left the two drowned women's help for the professional lifeguard and went back to jet skiing.
The two women were successfully saved by the lifeguard and the other three who were drowning were saved and were fine too, Jake was surprised by the speed of the two lifeguards who saved them all quickly and he can only help a little.
8 people were placed in each lifeboat and 3 people were left in buoys that were taken from the yacht, after rescuing the lifeguards suggested that lifeboats and jet skiing be carried further because the yacht could explode at any time.
Jake agreed with that because he didn't want to risk seeing if the blast would happen or if it could hit them, with Jake and the two lifeguards the jet ski had 6 people so they could get away with everyone saved.
The owner of the yacht that was primarily responsible for this accident was fine, but was fainted from drinking and was taken from the yacht by his friends, was an unexpected situation that Jake did not imagine could happen to him.
A while later the beach lifeguards arrived with the jet skis so that everyone could go back to the beach while waiting for the coast guard to arrive when everyone arrived at the beach many people were seeing what was happening.
Coach Davis was concerned that Jake had not returned after swimming to the lifeguards at sea, he was also surprised when he learned what happened, Jake left quickly and left only the two lifeguards who had to testify to the coast guard about what It happened.
Jake was just helping and didn't understand any technical terms so he left quickly before anyone recognized him, Jake hadn't done anything wrong and had even saved some people, but he didn't want much media attention on his vacation.
Jake knew well how the media was and were always wary of everything he did because of it before he wasn't so famous and so didn't have to worry about it, but now he was very famous and especially after what happened to Kate, he didn't have a good relationship with the non-sports media.
Jake returned home after what happened and said goodbye to coach Davis, today he had no way to continue with training so he thought it was better to wait for another day at home.
Unfortunately, things were not as simple as he expected and he had to be summoned to give testimony of what he saw to the police later, the case got more complicated because it looked like the yacht owner would be sued for the security breaches he made that almost killed the 22 people in the yacht.
After Jake gave the police testimony he was told to wait and then even one of the Miami Alderman appeared to compliment him on what he did for the Miami people in this accident.
Indirectly Jake was responsible for saving the lives of these 22 people, if he was not training on the beach and hired lifeguards with jet skiing and went with them to help people in this accident the 22 of the yacht would surely die.
After that Jake was invited to receive a medal along with both lifeguards for their rescue, everything was organized the same day and Alderman seemed to want to take advantage of Jake's fame to win some votes in the next election.
Fortunately, as everything was organized quickly few people were in place and only a few members of the sports media attended this ceremony, Jake did everything as fast as he could to go home.
When Jake came home again it was night and Eva had already made dinner, he recounted everything that happened on the day and Eva was very proud of what Jake had done but fought him for taking the risk of doing so.
Jake was happy saving those people and couldn't help thinking that he had changed the future somehow again, luckily he was calmer because the system said it wouldn't cause too much trouble if he did.
Fortunately the other day the beach was the same as the previous days and Jake can train quietly, next week Jake continued with his training doing a triathlon a day and could feel that he was somehow improving even if little with that training.
In the next few days Jake couldn't train because he had so many things to do, he had to meet with Tiffany and Clara to do the commercial for their companies, and then talk to Emily and the others about his business.
So Coach Davis and the lifeguards would have more than a week off, Jake went with Tiffany and Clara to the advertising company studio to record both commercials, as this time the two were more experienced, Tiffany and Clara had already spoken to the company prior to organizing the new commercials.
They had already talked about what the commercials would be like, so Jake just had to get ready to record and record the commercials, Jake didn't care about that because he was participating today only as a sponsored athlete of company and he left everything that happened at Clara's company for her decision and didn't interfere just because it had 10 percent of the company's stock.
The commercial for Clara's company was simpler this time, Jake would participate in various sports in this commercial except basketball because of Jake's deal, and in every sport, he would appear in the video he would use the sporting goods of Clara's company.
It was simple, but it said that when Jake played sports he trusted Clara's company to do quality physical activity, he didn't need a very obvious message because everyone knew that Jake was known for high-level basketball and marathon practice.
Tiffany's company commercial was more creative, but it was also more complicated to do, Jake would run down the road and the scenes would show Jake running down the roads in several cuts, then Jake would take a rural path and keep running down the dirt road.
At the end of the commercial, Jake would run to an orange field and grab a bottle of Tiffany's sports drink, then run back, the commercial would show that Jake would run to the field to get the bottle of liquor.
Jake liked the Tiffany company commercial better, but he didn't say that and just made the recordings, Clara's commercial was done faster, but Tiffany's took almost two days for the advertising company to get the best images.
After that when the two commercials go to television, Jake would be appearing in 4 television commercials, the public would even get sick of Jake who appeared so much in the commercials, it would also help to promote the 4 companies that helped each other with advertisements.
This was only possible because the 4 companies were small, if they were large companies they would not want to share customers with other companies even if it was good for everyone, after which Jake talked with Clara about her company for a while.
Clara and Tiffany went back to investing in the company a lot this year, the money they were saving to buy Robert's stock was all invested back in the company in the form of a loan that they would receive in profit shares over the next few years.
They did so because the company had not invested for many years and urgently needed money, the two would not make loans to banks that would endanger the company being able to invest their own money.
As Jake knew now, Tiffany and Clara's companies would always pay half of the profit share to the shareholders and invest the rest back in the company, with the investments made this year expected that the company's sales this year would be the best.
Because Jake had accomplished so much in sports and would continue to do so this year, it had a very positive impact on the sales of the companies sponsoring Jake, both of them were excited to see the company grow.
As for Clara's company competitor who had too many shares of the company, she decided not to care about it anymore and just treat them like ordinary investors, because she would have to take a lot of money every year just to buy those shares from the rival company.
But it was necessary money to invest in the company, if it were possible in a few years Clara would surely buyback not only those shares but also the shares that were with Jake and her father.
Only the shares that were with Tiffany, Clara did not think to buy even in the future, because it was Tiffany who helped her the most in difficult times even putting her own company at risk.
Jake thought that in a few years Clara would no longer even think about buying Jake's stock again, because in a few years with the internet age and Jake playing in the NBA just because Jake was a shareholder of her company would make many people want to buy the products from Clara's company.
Jake was very pleased with how Clara was investing in the company, he always trusted her because he knew how well Clara was a competent woman just like Tiffany who made her company grow out of nowhere.
After that Jake arranged with Emily to talk to her about how his investments were going, Emily seemed to be a lot more tired and stressed when Jake met her at the restaurant.
He could imagine how busy Emily was working for him, now Emily took care of the company-wide investments, which included Jake's personal investments and Matthew and her father's investments as well as her father's friends who were already over one billion of dollars in total.
