The pioneer who gate-crashed his way to the top, Subhash Chandra, the promoter of Essel/Zee Group, is an unlikely mogul. Hailing from a small town in Haryana, where his family ran grain mills, Chandra has been a perennial outsider, repeatedly aiming high and breaking into businesses where he was considered an interloper.

Eines Tages wirft der Unternehmensberater Markus Weber seine heile Welt über den Haufen und stürzt sich Hals über Kopf in ein Abenteuer. Er setzt sich auf sein Fahrrad und fährt los - durch 26 Länder, bis nach Togo. Seine Reise führt ihn durch verlassene osteuropäische Dörfer und über zermürbende Sandpisten in Westafrika. Er fährt per Anhalter durch die Sahara, radelt durch den unerschlossenen guineischen Regenwald und schmuggelt sich in Liberia über geschlossene Grenzübergänge.

"Probably in the life of everyone there comes a time when he is inclined to go over again the events, great and small, which have made up the incidents of his work and pleasure, and I am tempted to become a garrulous old man, and tell some stories of men and things which have happened in an active life. In some measure I have been associated with the most interesting people our country has produced, especially in business - men who have helped largely to build up the commerce of the United States...."

Mara e Alberto sono sposati dal 1976 e si dividono tra vita domestica, cellulari smarriti, la spesa al supermercato di sabato pomeriggio, gli impegni di lavoro, l'educazione delle figlie, la gioia dei nipotini, i rapporti con la suocera, il burraco con gli amici (o con l'iPad), gli acciacchi. Un po' come tutte le coppie rodate. Però Mara e Alberto non sono una coppia normale, checché ne dicano loro. Perché lei è la Mara Maionchi, discografica che ha lanciato talenti come Tiziano Ferro e Gianna Nannini, famosa per i suoi modi diretti e le sue esternazioni senza filtro.

"Não sei exatamente em que ano conheci Anderson, não sei onde eu estava, mas acho que trabalhava na Folha de S.Paulo como colunista da “Ilustrada” e Anderson já estava no comando da Arezzo.

Anderson, profissional como poucos nesse país, é um empresário com um olhar lá na frente e com os pés bem no chão. Tenho a impressão de que qualquer coisa que ele fizesse na vida daria muito certo, mas o fato é que ele escolheu fabricar sapatos, para minha alegria e de tantas mulheres brasileiras.

Há muito mais envolvido, e a epígrafe acima nos dá um forte indício de que a construção de um grupo empresarial de alcance global está para além dos interesses pessoais – herda-se um legado moral e de valores, que deve ser usado para o bem do maior número de pessoas, alcançando, numa perspectiva mais ampla, toda a sociedade e além dela.
