Upon returning, Jake looked around his surroundings and confirmed that he was in his living room. He looked at the clock and was astonished. "Only two days have passed? The time ratio was five to one!"
Jake brought up the trading system panel and understood the situation. Initially, the time ratio was set when the world trading objective was established. However, as trading became more frequent and in-depth, the time ratio between the two worlds returned to normal, becoming bidirectional.
"Things will be better in the future. For now, this is how it is."
This was the rule of the trading system, and Jake could not change it. He could only use this golden opportunity to become stronger quickly.
As he kept looking at the system panel, he noticed a new option that wasn't there before.
[synchronized: 3%]
"What's that?"
In response to his question, a new window popped up.
[synchronized between the two worlds will increase as your influence spreads. The higher the scieoncorisy, the less time difference there will be. At 100%, a portal can be opened, allowing anyone to cross between worlds.]
Seeing the explanation, Jake couldn't help but widen his eyes. Currently, he was the only one who could crossover universes, but if he achieved 100% synchronization in different kinds of worlds, didn't that mean he could link all those universes together?
"Wouldn't that be like creating my own version of the Multiverse?"
Jake couldn't help but feel excited, but he forced himself to calm down. Currently, he was still at 3%, and there was still a long time before he would be able to open the portal. So for now, it was better to not think about the matter and instead focus on his gains from his trip to the Naruto world.
The first trading gain was not significant other than the assets and money in the Naruto world. Jake's biggest gain was more than fifty kilograms of gold. The firearms he used to protect himself were not used much and could be saved to establish a future force.
Once Jake's power in the Naruto world grew, he could contact Orochimaru. This guy cooperated with Danzo because Root could provide money, materials, and Hashirama's cells. Except for the latter, Jake could also provide these to Orochimaru. Moreover, Jake believed that some biological research in the Marvel world would strongly attract Orochimaru.
"I need to establish a trading company to cover up my tracks, a biotechnology company, and a channel for selling gold…"
As for the gold, if he had dozens of kilograms of it at once, Jake could still rely on some of his connections to get rid of it. However, if more gold were traded in the future, Jake would undoubtedly be watched.
"Only two days have passed, and nothing has happened. Before going to the Naruto world next time, I must register the company and hire a lawyer."
Jake looked at the accumulated mail in his mailbox and found nothing important. He then thought about the scarce resources in the Naruto world and ordered more food and medicine. During the war, these two were the only hard currency, and the vegetable market in Konoha was also deserted because there were not many items to sell.
After making two phone calls to order another batch of goods, Jake called Carl's father, planning to visit him tonight. Carl couldn't help with the task of finding a lawyer to register the company, but Carl's father, a top broker who often mingled on Wall Street, could help him.
After experiencing other worlds through the trading system, Jake realized that going to college was no longer a priority.
At night, Carl's father, Connor, knew that Jake had something to ask him for help with and specifically canceled his other engagements to prepare a dinner that was not particularly delicious but was personally cooked by him.
Steamed bass dipped in soy sauce, Connor didn't know where he learned this recipe, but he thought it was a delicious dish.
Moreover, Carl had tricked Connor into thinking his cooking skills were good long ago when he wanted some pocket money. Over time, Connor truly believed that his cooking skills were excellent. When Jake came to visit him, he cooked three steamed basses and poured out three small soy sauce dishes.
Upon Jake's arrival at Connor's home, he was immediately escorted to the dining table. "Jake, you have to try my cooking today. This sea bass is incredibly fresh. If I ever get my hands on fish this fresh again, I might be tempted to try it raw with some wasabi," Connor stated as he seated Jake.
"Thank you, Uncle Connor," Jake replied. He cut a small piece of sea bass and swallowed it directly. Then he took a sip of juice and got straight to the point.
"Uncle Connor, I want to start two companies. Do you know anyone in this business? Where should I look for managers if I want to hire some?" Jake asked.
As soon as Jake finished speaking, Carl, who was seated beside him, waved his fork and knife excitedly. "That's great, my brother! I also think the Lightning Combination doesn't have the same impressive name as the Wall Street Lightning Company. You finally…"
"Hold on, Carl. This conversation has nothing to do with Lightning. Let's talk about it another time," Jake interrupted Carl's speech, eager to discuss his plans for a trade and biotech company. Although Carl was knowledgeable in finance, he tended to be immature, a trait that hadn't waned even as he was about to enter college.
"A registered company? I happen to know someone in that field. Let me find his business card for you," Connor offered, retrieving the card from his desk after a brief moment of reflection. "Jake, are you certain about focusing on a trade and biotech company instead of a securities company?" he asked, curious about Jake's decision.
"I will be involved in securities too, but these two are my priority, Uncle Connor," Jake replied confidently. Connor had recognized Jake's exceptional learning ability and financial understanding a few years ago and had since stopped treating him as a younger family member and instead as a peer.
Connor saw great potential in Jake and his son and had mobilized a significant amount of funds to invest alongside his son and turn a profit. Although trade and biotech were not Connor's areas of expertise, he was willing to invest and potentially join a securities company if the opportunity presented itself.
After the dinner, Jake was introduced to the person by Connor, who promised that he would communicate with the person first before Jake contacted him. The next day, Jake went to the address on the business card and found the company recommended by Connor. After being welcomed by the person there, Jake presented his request.
Registering a company was a small matter and could be done easily. Jake left the task to them, which could be done within three days. If he needed their help renting an office, it would only take two more days to get it done.
To save time, Jake decided to hand over the job to them. Although it would take a few more days, it would save him a lot of time. He needed a trading company to cover up his true intentions. This company did not have to make money, but it had to have the ability to handle large quantities of goods. However, building it from scratch would be troublesome, so Jake needed to recruit several assistants who could perfectly execute his commands.
At this stage, he only needed someone who could execute his commands perfectly and was honest and obedient. When the company grew, Jake needed someone who could oversee everything, like Pepper Potts from Stark Industries.
