"Yes, Mr. Williams, I was told that you want to open your own news agency. Do you have a plan yet?" Noah crossed his legs and leaned back, in an imposing manner. It was the way he dealt with business usually. Even if Ivy were to attend the interview, he would behave the same way. When it came to matters related to business, no relationship or familial ties held value to him.

His imposing and domineering self made the four people break out in a cold sweat. They could clearly see why he was at the apex of the business hierarchy. The way he carried himself was enough for the people to admire and respect him. Even Max who was older than Noah by a few years couldn't ignore his presence. Some people were born rulers, just like Noah.

Taking a deep breath, Max prepared himself to speak. To get a sponsor as good as Noah was a dream come true to most people, including Max, and he did not want to lose this golden chance. It was now or never.

"Mr. Carter, my team and I have decided to open our news channel and we want to publish the news without any restrictions imposed on us. I am going to make myself clear that we are not going to telecast any fabricated news or hide any news that the public has to know, even if it is related to you if you become our boss. We want to show the truth to the public and that is our main aim." Max took a glimpse at Noah to see if he was concentrating and on noticing that he had his complete attention, he handed him a file.

"This is the plan we have in mind. We are five people in total right now and we will be needing a lot more employees. Our first step is to hire some staff. Next, we will have to find a building suitable for our office, and third, we need a channel to telecast the news." He breathed out all he wanted to say at once, Sasha, Kira and Cedric applauded him secretly. It took great courage to speak boldly in front of Noah and he had done it without any glitches.

Nobody knew how terrified Max was from within. He had his fists clenched since the time he had started speaking and now they had become clammy. He could only hope that he was able to convince Noah.

Noah took the file and went through it thoroughly. Time passed and nobody spoke a word. It was completely silent in the room except for the times when Noah turned the pages of the file. The four people waited in anticipation.

"Mr. Williams, would you mind introducing your team to me. I would like to know who will be working for me if I am going to invest. Also, do tell me what your positions were in your previous agency."

"Sure. I am Maximus Williams. I was the editor-in-chief. They are Kira Simpsons, Sasha Rodriguez and Cedric Wyatt. They previously worked as an assistant producer, an assistant editor and as a cameraman respectively. We have another teammate. Her name Is Ivy West and she is a journalist. She couldn't make it here due to some unfortunate reasons."

"Hmm. What do you have in mind? What is the first step you want to execute?"

"If we could find an office, we could start hiring people," Max responded.

"That would be a tedious task. If you start hiring people and you do not have a channel of your own, I would have to pay them for no work they would be doing. Or, they would be hired without any pay which I do not think anybody will accept. Either way, one of the parties will yield a loss with this idea. Any other suggestions?"

Max was taken aback on hearing Noah's deductions. He had not thought about these issues at all. As expected of the strategist, he was a true businessman, thinking in all aspects.

Not getting any response, Noah rubbed his forehead. "Shane, check when we can apply for a channel to the Ministry of Broadcast and Television. See if there are any dates nearby."

Shane, who was sitting idly behind his boss, jolted immediately on hearing his name and noted down his orders. Noah had informed him beforehand about his decision to open a news agency. So, Shane had an idea of what was expected of him.

"Yes, boss."

"Do you have any idea how long can a channel be unused once it has been bought?" Noah asked his question and waited for the others to speak.

"A month," Kira answered immediately.

"Okay, then. My first course of action would be to secure a channel for ourselves. We will have a month from the date we acquire it to plan it out completely."

"Yes sir. But what about hiring the staff and where will our office be?" Cedric brought the second issue they had to deal with.

"Do you guys have anything in mind?"

"We thought of starting the hiring process as soon as possible," Max said, but he was convinced with what Noah had said before. That would just be a loss for either the employer or the employee.

"I have an idea in mind. Have you heard about the news agency Everyday?"

"Yes, that's like the top best agencies in the country," Sasha exclaimed as soon as Noah spoke. Everyday was one of the top news agencies in the country with a lot of viewers and fans.

"I am thinking of purchasing it." Noah deadpanned, taking everybody by a storm. Everyone gaped at him in shock. 'Why would he do something like that?'

"Are you sure about buying it, sir? I am not doubting you Mr. Carter, but the agency is doing quite well and I don't think the owner will be quite willing to sell it." Max expressed his concern. He was highly doubtful if this plan of his would work. Not only him, even Kira, Cedric and Sasha had the same thoughts.

"I went through the company's stock prices and they have been plummeting since last month. If my analysis is correct, it will go bankrupt in a few weeks. Once the price falls, I am thinking of buying the agency. How does my plan sound?"

Again the group was rendered speechless. Everyday was going to be bankrupt soon? This was a piece of bomb news and why didn't anybody know about it? Not even Max who had friends in other agencies had heard a whisper about it.

"If we could take over Everyday, then that would be great. We can save a lot of money on equipments and even the studio." Max said exhilarated. The other news agency going bankrupt had paved a way for them and any smart man would grasp the opportunity thrown to them.

"Yes. You will also get their employees. Does this sound feasible?" Noah enquired to make sure everybody was with him in the plan.

"Yes sir. We are in." Max answered on everyone's behalf.

"Okay. But I have a condition though and only if you agree, I will proceed with the investment."
