You are Larry Merlock, the 25 year old son of a wealthy businessman in Melbourne, Australia's second largest city.
It is 1975. Newspapers are respectable, sports people have day jobs, and mobile phones are wacky gadgets out of James Bond films. You have recently completed your MBA at Oxford, having been brought up in the presence of an ambitous and successful father, and a beautiful mother. A life of plenty has never been in doubt. As an only child, you were never one who liked playing in a team, always preferring to trust your own 'superior' judgement.
Your father is preparing to retire and offers you a choice of one of his numerous assets to kick off your business career. These are varied and all seem promising, should you play your cards right. Either way, with great opportunities come great decisions, and you will have to be on your toes. Australia is a booming economy with unchecked potential, and has a friendly, laid-back business environment. If you are ruthless, you should come out on top! Which asset do you choose?
