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.
每周一次,美国国际集团(AIG)前首席执行官莫里斯•“汉克”•格林伯格(Maurice “Hank” Greenberg)会离开自己位于公园大道(Park Avenue)的办公室,穿过纽约中央公园(Central Park),来到时髦的上西区(Upper West Side),走进一栋赤褐色砂石面大楼底层一间另类的地下室——那里堆满了鲁布•戈德堡(Rube Goldberg)漫画风格的器械。现年87岁的格林伯格在商界以观点鲜明而闻名,其格外强壮的体格则是在这间密闭而拥挤的地下室里练出来。
