Chapter 80
“I can only give you the capital to start up your company under one condition.” Darius’ grandfather declared in an authoritative tone.
Darius gulped slowly at that, but braced himself to ask the condition.
“What condition, grandfather?” Darius asked tentatively.
“You have to make a profit of five times the original capital I give you in one year.” His grandfather answered domineeringly. Darius eyes widened in surprise at his grandfather‘s condition.
He had to make five times the original capital in a single year?! That was a very tall condition, especially for him!
Darius had only little experience which was gained only after managing a few assets like Nix Inc. and other businesses for a few months. Even at that, he had not made five times the profit they usually earned.
Darius was feeling very unpleasant at that moment, but he forced himself to calm down. He had not yet known how much his grandfather was willing to give him as capital. Hopefully it won‘t be a very large sum. If it was, it would be really impossible to earn five times the profit in a year.
As Darius was beginning to see a glimmer of hope, his grandfather next words once again crushed his spark of hope.
“I‘ll be giving you 50 billion dollars as capital, which means that next year you should have made a profit of 250 billion dollars.” His grandfather said imperiously,
Darius eyes bulged wildly in shock at that statement
so billion dollars?!
It was the complete opposite of what he expected!
He was imperting his grandfather to give him a capital of about 1 2 billion dollars. That way. he would be providing profit of 5 10 billion dollars at the end of the year Bulth was completely beyond his expectations h andfather had given more than ten times the

Darius was really troubled at that moment. Two hundred and fifty billion dollars was no joke. He let out a troubled sigh. While others were busy scraping for money to get by, Darius was busy thinking on how to spend so much money.
Although Erin was indeed really troubled at the moment, she was not as troubled as Darius was. She felt that he was thinking too much about it. They still had a year to make the required profit. It wasn‘t something they should rush.
It took a lot of time before she managed to convince Darius to not place too much worry on it, but Darius was finally convinced.
The rest of the week passed quickly. The former Erihal Group headquarters was demolished and renovated into a very regal building. It was twice as regal as it was before. Darius didn‘t know how much his grandfather had spent on the renovations, but Darius knew that his grandfather must have spent a very hefty sum. While the renovation was going on, Darius wasn‘t idle. That was far from it. He and Erin took their time in scouring through the details of several people who were searching for jobs, as well as experienced veterans in the corporate world.
After several days of sleepless nights, Darius finally got 40 new employees for his company. The number of employees was supposed to be more than that, but majority of them were skeptical about ‘West Atlantics Int‘l‘; after all it was a newly established company with no background. Anyone would be skeptical about leaving a well established company and working for a company with no name and background.
Darius wasn‘t too miffed about that. He was extremely confident that with enough time, he would be able to attract even the most experienced of employees,
He was still thinking about his business matters when his phone rang. He quickly picked up his phone up, thinking that the call was related to business matters and answered the call without checking the caller ID.
When he heard the caller‘s voice, his eyes widened in surprise. The phone call turned out to be from someone he least expected!
