"Are you not worried that someone might steal this from you?" Whitaker asked in the hotel lobby, looking at Jimmy with curiosity.
If he were a completely different man, he could easily handle someone like Jimmy and steal all that futuristic work. However, as he himself had said, he was a visionary, and he understood perfectly that there was no one capable of recreating what Jimmy was doing.
But he was curious to know if Jimmy had considered something like this. After all, he must know that the real world is far more cruel than one can imagine.
"I have a much better question," Jimmy said with a proud smile. "How do you expect someone to understand my codes if they don't know the language?"
To recreate that code, one would need to learn a data sequence impossible to decipher for at least thirty years.
In this case, the artificial intelligence was refining the codes, but Jimmy had control because his mind was the key. That's why he wasn't worried about anyone stealing his code.
"How sure are you about that?"
"There isn't a computer capable of recreating something similar to what I'm working on, which is why I need a fixed facility where I can invent a team that can." Jimmy also explained that they needed to improve how the network was distributed.
With the rapid advancement of technology, they could have the world's control in their hands. From medicine to Internet infrastructure, everything could be in Jimmy's hands if he properly planned his development.
Moreover, he could finally be sure that the military would need his technology. To be better, they'd need the best, and Jimmy could use that to gain access to permits that others didn't have.
Of course, it wouldn't be exclusive to one country; anyone with the money and interest could access his technology.
After saying goodbye to Whitaker, who promised to take care of everything, Jimmy returned to his room and spoke with his mother about many other interesting things.

The Cooper Household
Sheldon held the phone, his serious expression showing he wanted to know the result of Jimmy's appearance on the program where he presented his product.
"Did we win?"
"Indeed, we won."
The entire Cooper family waited expectantly. They knew they'd get a small gain since Sheldon had been helping Jimmy recreate codes with a specific mathematical sequence.
"That's wonderful, I'll let the family know."
George, who imagined himself in an important position within Jimmy's company, approached and asked, "Was it sponsored?"
"Come on, honey, speak up." Connie had grown quite fond of Jimmy, especially his dog, who would eat the beer cans he left hidden around the house.
"Well, Jimmy succeeded. He got a multimillionaire sponsor who invested 200 thousand dollars in the company, of which I have one percent in profits." Sheldon, although happy because he would get a computer, didn't show much emotion.
"200 thousand dollars?"
"My goodness..."
"That's incredible."
"My life is set!" shouted George Jr., who got excited knowing his young boss had succeeded.
"You two stop making a fuss, you're sounding too ambitious when everything is in Jimmy's hands," Mary scolded her sons, who seemed ecstatic, as if Jimmy's profits were also theirs.

New York, Airport
"Maybe we'll visit you sometime," Judy said on the phone with her best friend, who had moved to a pretty rural area, just like they did.
"Of course, I'm sure Jimmy would enjoy the idea of getting away from his inventions for a bit. Maybe he and your daughter could be friends."
Jimmy, who had been listening to his mother's conversation with her supposed best friend, couldn't help but furrow his brows when he heard about the friend.
He was tired of friends; he had enough problems.
What he wanted now was to finish his first aid robot.
"I'll call you Baymax..." Jimmy murmured as he envisioned the ideal avatar for this robot that would change the history of medicine.
