Once a week, Maurice “Hank” Greenberg, the former chief executive of insurer AIG, leaves his Park Avenue office and travels across New York’s Central Park to a nondescript basement crowded with Rube Goldberg-esque machines in a brownstone building on the trendy Upper West Side. While Mr Greenberg is renowned for his strong views on business, this claustrophobic room is where the 87-year-old builds his remarkable physical strength.
每週一次,美國國際集團(AIG)前執行長莫里斯•「漢克」•葛林伯格(Maurice “Hank” Greenberg)會離開自己位於公園大道(Park Avenue)的辦公室,穿過紐約中央公園(Central Park),來到時髦的上西區(Upper West Side),走進一棟赤褐色砂石面大樓底層一間另類的地下室——那裏堆滿了魯布•戈德堡(Rube Goldberg)漫畫風格的器械。現年87歲的葛林伯格在商界以觀點鮮明而聞名,其格外強壯的體格則是在這間密閉而擁擠的地下室裏練出來。
