A company's director messaged an important notice on his phone to \('X'\) of his immediate reportees. Each of these \(X\) people further forwarded this message to \(X\) more people. Apart from this, this message was not sent or received by anyone else and no one received the message more than once. What is the value of \(X?\)

1) In total, the message was received by \(30\) people after it was sent by the director

2) The first \('X'\) people who were sent the message directly by the director, constitute \(1/6\) of the total number of people who received this message, after it was sent by the director
