"When would you want to do this?" Margaret asked.
"Tomorrow evening. Pri ti London, adjusted for optimal viewing across all major markets."
"That's impossible. The coordination alone—"
"Margaret," Noah interrupted gently, his charisma making her listen despite herself. "You're BBC. You covered royal weddings, Olympic ceremonies, global crises. If anyone can coordinate sothing this ambitious in twenty-four hours, it's you."
She straightened with pride—exactly the reaction his enhanced persuasion had aid for.
"And the paynt terms?" another executive asked.
"Half up front, half after broadcast. Standard BBC contract terms otherwise." Noah's reasonableness on smaller details made his larger demands seem more acceptable.
Margaret muted her microphone and had a hurried conference with her team. Noah watched their body language, seeing how his charm continued to work even through video. They kept glancing back at his image, drawn to sothing they couldn't quite identify.
After three minutes, Margaret unmuted. "Mr. Thompson, you've got a deal. Ten million dollars, global broadcast, real-ti translation. We'll have contracts ready within the hour."
"Excellent." Noah's smile was genuinely pleased. "You won't regret this, Margaret. This interview will define how the world understands the next technological revolution."
"I believe it will," she replied, and Noah could see she absolutely ant it.
After ending the call, Noah sat back in satisfaction. The enhanced skills had worked perfectly—not just persuading BBC to agree to his terms, but making them genuinely excited about the opportunity.
"Sylvia, what's my projected inco for tomorrow's interview?"
"Ten million dollars, plus an estimated twenty million in increased licensing value from global exposure."
Thirty million dollars from a single interview. Not bad for his first test of the new abilities.
His phone buzzed with calls from other networks who'd sohow heard about the BBC deal. All of them are offering increasingly desperate terms for even a brief follow-up interview.
Noah smiled, letting them wait. Tomorrow's global broadcast would establish him as more than just a tech prodigy. With his enhanced charisma and charm, he would beco the most compelling figure in the world.
...
After securing the BBC deal, Noah imdiately dialed Volkov's secure line.
"Dr. Volkov, tomorrow evening we'll have visitors. BBC is doing a global broadcast from the lab."
"Global broadcast?" Volkov's voice carried surprise. "Sir, are you certain that's wise? The security implications—"
"Controlled exposure. I want you to prepare a demonstration—sothing impressive but safe. Perhaps the basic Aurora prototype running a dical simulation?"
"I understand. Nothing that reveals the true capabilities."
"Exactly. Let them see quantum computing for cancer research. Keep the surveillance applications locked away."
"Consider it done, sir."
Noah ended the call and imdiately opened another secure line. Ti for the next phase.
"Marcus, how's our dia performing?"
Marcus Chen appeared on the video call, looking exhausted but exhilarated. At twenty-five, he was one of Noah's most valuable subordinates—a marketing genius who'd been wasted at a traditional agency until Noah offered him creative freedom and unlimited budget.
"Noah! Perfect timing. The numbers are insane." Marcus's enthusiasm was infectious. "TikTok followers hit 10 million within a week. YouTube subscribers crossed 5.5 million. Instagram engagent is through the roof."
Noah smiled. While everyone had been watching his university persona, he'd been quietly building a multidia empire. Vertex dia, officially founded a few weeks ago with a £3 million investnt, has beco the fastest-growing content company in Europe.
"And the Aurora announcent?"
"Explosive. Our science channel broke down your quantum breakthrough in terms that teenagers could understand. Seventeen million views in eight hours. The comnts are calling you 'the real Tony Stark.'"
"Good. Now for tomorrow's opportunity."
Marcus leaned forward, sensing sothing big.
"BBC agreed to a global exclusive for £10 million. But here's the beautiful part—our contract specifically ntions 'external dia organizations.'"
Marcus's eyes lit up with understanding. "Our own dia isn't external. We're your company."
"Precisely. I want full behind-the-scenes coverage. Exclusive pre-interview content. Real-ti social dia engagent after their broadcast."
"You're playing both sides," Marcus grinned. "BBC gets their exclusive traditional dia interview, but we show and control the deeper parts."
"And the revenue streams. How much can we generate from tomorrow alone?"
Marcus pulled up projected numbers. "Conservative estimate? YouTube ad revenue, sponsored content... we're looking at £2.5 million minimum. If the interview viral videos hit like I think they will, maybe £5 million."
Noah's valuable skills had paid dividends in recruitnt. Marcus wasn't just talented—he was absolutely loyal, seeing Noah as the ntor who'd given him the chance to build sothing revolutionary.
"There's more," Noah continued. "I want our dia to start positioning for post-Aurora content. Tech reviews, startup spotlights, exclusive interviews with our innovators."
"You're building a dia monopoly around erging technology," Marcus muttered.
"I'm building the platform that defines how the world understands innovation." Noah's voice carried the confidence his new skills provided. "When they finish that BBC interview and beco curious, they will co to who has the continuation for that cliffhanger, and that's us."
Marcus nodded enthusiastically. "I'll coordinate with our international teams. Full multi-platform coverage once you give us the spotlight and chance to record. We will be on standby, we will prepare everything."
After ending that call, Noah spoke to sylvia.
"Sylvia, tomorrow's BBC interview will generate massive online discussion. I want comprehensive sentint analysis, influence mapping, and trend predictions."
Sylvia's voice ca through clearly. "Yes, sir, I'll track every ntion, analyse demographic responses, and identify key opinion leaders engaging with the content."
"And competitive intelligence?"
"Every major tech company will be monitoring the broadcast. We'll have real-ti reports on their internal communications."
"Sylvia, prepare for the spike. Aurora's announcent will drive massive investnt in quantum-adjacent technologies.
Tomorrow's interview would subtly position him not just as a brilliant inventor, but as soone using wealth for global good.
By the ti Noah finished his calls, the scope of tomorrow's operation was staggering:
BBC paying £10 million for a global exclusive
His dia channel is generating an estimated £5 million in digital revenue
All from a single interview that would last five minutes. However, money wasn't the thing he was truly looking for.
It was the exposure, the fa and the status that ca with it. From now on, he would be focused on, whether it was the common people or the people at the top.
People will look for his new inventions, they will respect his na, and they will have more trust in them. His road to completing the missions was becoming shorter and shorter by the minute.
Author Note:
The support has been encouraging. Hence, I decided to treat you guys to another chap!
Yes, this is a bonus. You deserve it for waiting so long, and still supporting.
You guys can check out my new novel, too. It's called Idle Tycoon System. It has nearly 200 chapters! Try it, I'm sure you will enjoy it. Also don't worry, this won't affect the chapter price.
