View of Dining Table

This dining table is designed to be relatively large, reason being to reinforce the idea or power and significance. Although seen from top to be just a flat piece of furniture, the bottom stand has many complex shapes to it. This may reflect the difficulties and hardship these significant people go through, yet in the eyes of us as public we do not see them - it is as though they are all hidden "under the surface".

Images of Elevator

The shape of this elevator is one that is circular with a curved overhead. The reason for this is so it shows that it offers protection to these significantly powerful people. In addition, being relatively huge, this elevator reinforces the idea or power through spaciousness. In the game, the top roof of this elevator is seen as invisible through inside, this is intentional as it allows Ratan Tata and Zhang Yin to have a view of the overall outside world, yet seen as being a roof from the outside by the public.

Ratan Tata:

Most respected corporate chieftains in India with 96 companies manufacturing a range of products from automobiles to watches, steel to fertilisers.

He is "smooth, suave, and introvert" but seen as an aggressive and ambitious businessman, whose strategic vision has shifted from local to global.
Nearly a third of group revenues, some $6.7bn, comes from overseas markets. "I think we've only just begun. If we stay in India, we'll be at a competitive disadvantage".

In the late 1990s, two of the top firms, Tata Steel and Tata Motors went through tumultuous crises and were saddled with huge losses. However, now it appears it is time for Ratan Tata to establish himself on the global map. The Corus buyout makes Tata Steel the world's fifth largest steelmaker

Zhang Yin:
Trained as a dentist, had formed a company in the 1990s to collect paper for recycling and ship it to China. However her life changed in Hong Kong, where she had opened a paper-trading company with $3,800 to cash in on China's chronic paper shortages.
According to her, 'Waste paper is like a forest. Paper recycles itself, generation after generation."
As a result of her entrepreneurship, she is now richer than virtually any other woman anywhere in the world. Her business involves importing "heaps of waste paper from the United States and Europe, ship it to China and recycle it into corrugated cardboard, which is then used for boxes".
Forbes magazine named Zhang the wealthiest woman in China. Contradictly, she started out from a modest background, the daughter of a military officer. Now she dominates the world's paper trade through her giant companies.
She's a visionary and her goal is "to make Nine Dragons, in three to five years, the leader in containerboards," ... "My desire has always been to be the leader in an industry."
Zhang rarely grants interviews, and when she does, they are brief and controlled by an army of handlers.

Carlos Slim:
Fortune magazine reported in its latest edition last month that Slim, a heavyset and bearded 67-year-old, with nearly US$60b, Mexican telecoms tycoon Carlos Slim Helu has overtaken Microsoft founder Bill Gates for the title of the world's richest person. It is estimated that his personal fortune is almost US$68b.
He channels his energies into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a non-profit organization he set up in 2000 to tackle health, education and literacy problems around the world.
Slim's family holdings represented more than five percent of Mexico's gross domestic product last year and companies under his control make up one third of the Mexican stock market.
In addition, according to Fortune magazine, Slim has a reputation for austerity, rather than flamboyance.
