The list of all major technology media outlets, companies, awards, etc., growing like an avalanche as Wire-Serve takes its position as one of the greatest technologies ever released in history. Jacob knew he was going to be releasing a ground-breaking technology and foresaw great accolades and activity, but in reality he was overwhelmed far beyond his wildest imagination. The instant demand and the amazing spread of the news globally was like a gasoline-powered bush fire in the mid-summer heat in California. Requests for and the entailing interviews took up every working hour for the first 4 weeks on a global frenzied tour that was almost more than he could physically handle.
Wire-Serve became the fastest company in history to get listed on all the major stock exchanges, and the fastest growth from nothing to every dollar mark, 100 billion within one week, 300 billion within 2 weeks, 500 billion after 4 weeks and thereafter grew steadily. It was and remains the most actively traded and guarded stock in history. With good reason Jacob named his first successful file storage in Wire-Serve as zillionaire.odt – he has literally built a multi-billion dollar company that would reach its trillion dollar value within its first year of trading and hit the zillion dollars within 3 years.
The technology was OEM licensed out to every device manufacturer across the globe, with pure revenue and almost no cost at all except for legal fees and management costs incidental to any major business. Jacob's staff levels, however, did not grow proportionately as he wouldn't allow anyone else to take the role of selecting employees, for reasons not well understood, but most put it down to some kind of fear or eccentricity. It was just a simple case of needing the right people in the right spot for a strategy that very few people were privy to.
“Some may think this technology is “atarimae” as the Japanese say for “straightforward” - which now looking at it may well be – but I made this technology as part of and for my dreams to continue – this is just the beginning and I look forward to bringing many more great things to you in the very near future,” Jacob said to end the 150th Press Conference with the US media parade in New York. As he was just about to move away from the podium, one of the reporters shot out a question that everyone wanted to know now. “Mr Stenton! Can you tell us what is coming next?”. Jacob turned to her, then looked around the room, and with a warm smile, said, “World Peace!” to which the room erupted in laughter and clapping as he made his way out the stage exit. Everybody in the room was aglow with the great feeling of having another darling company to adore and keep alive the possibilities of new and great ideas and richness beyond the unreal. “...for the world,” Jacob whispered softly to himself as he walked away..
Although he is a workaholic and was able to keep a good face throughout this initial frenzied period, after four weeks of the madness he returned home and slept for almost 2 days – a forced luxury that was required to freshen his mind for the trek ahead.
