Résumé :
This story starts with the hero's father from Britain fighting in the trenches during the Second World War in Burma. He is brought back to Calcutta for treatment after being wounded, where he meets and later marries a Bengali journalist, to whom Simon is born. Growing up and running a successful investment company in Calcutta, Simon's fortunes and future changes when he meets a business Moghul Alan from the UK and starts working for him from Alan's palatial home in central London. Here he is introduced to Liz, Alan's wife, Sandra and Keith. Simon becomes privy to many problems that Alan's family had to undergo in their private lives and businesses including mafia connections and fraud investigations. He manoeuvres through all of them cleverly as his mother's upbringing and his experience from life in Calcutta helps him face and solve their various family crises. The secret of living and restoring the family wealth of his adopted mother's family are other interesting facets to ponder about. His motivational speeches using simple stories are unique for management presentations.
