Chapter 709 poaching Maersk

……

"Boss, this is the invitation we just received. ”

Seeing the exquisite letter handed over by Wang Jue, Guo Shouyun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after taking it and seeing the British royal insignia on it.

"Mr. Bruce Kwok is cordially invited to join the Compendium of the Prince of Wales and the Earl of Chester, the Duke of Cornwall, the Duke of Rosssi, the Earl of Carrick, Baron Infrew, the Lord of the Outer Isles of Scotland, the Prince of Scotland and the General Secretary of the Scottish Crown, the Knight of the Order of the Most Noble Garter, the Knight of the Order of the Oldest and Most Noble Thistle, the Noble Master and Chief Knight of the Grand Cross of the Order of Bath, the Member of the Order of Merit, the Knight of the Order of Australia, the Member of the Queen's Service Medal, Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council Minister, Her Majesty's Chamberlain, Her Royal Highness Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, hosted a dinner at Clarence House on the 23rd of this month. ”

Looking at this invitation letter that only took up most of the space with honors and titles, Guo Shouyun couldn't help but smile. Whether it is in the past life or the next life, the outside world does not have a high evaluation of this Prince Charles. In particular, his marriage to Princess Diana, as well as his affairs with many mistresses, have become enduring gossip classics in Western society. So much so that folklore, annoyed ****** even planned to cross this son and pass the throne directly to Prince William. Of course, I don't know if it's true or not.

"Call the Patek Philippe store in London and ask them to send a premium Patek Philippe limited edition watch. ”

"Patek Philippe watches?" Wang Jue was stunned, in her impression, Guo Shouyun's gifts were always his own calligraphy, or red wine, and rarely gave watches.

"His Royal Highness Charles likes things that are valuable and easy to sell!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

In addition to the peachy news, Prince Charles is also notoriously greedy for money. In addition to the tax evasion that has not yet been exposed, the heir to the British throne also likes to sell the gifts he receives from political and business people around the world for money. And, in addition to the royal inheritance, the Prince Charles also runs a food company and a real estate business. Compared to his eldest son William, who donated all his income, he made a lot more money.

After agreeing, Wang Jue went down to prepare what the big boss wanted. And Guo Shouyun glanced at the invitation card in his hand and put it aside for the time being. Prince Charles' invitation is tomorrow, and now he has other things to do.

……

Horseback riding is a favorite sport of English gentlemen. That's why there are plenty of well-equipped horse farms up and down the UK. As with golf in the United States, there are both large golf courses for the public and small, well-organized courses. Winston Stables is such a membership-only private horse farm, located in the northern suburbs of London, it has excellent lawns and beautiful scenery, as well as excellent trainers and excellent horse breeds from all over the world.

Guo Shouyun also likes to ride horses, but he just likes the feeling of riding horses. There is little interest in horse races that cost tens of millions, or even tens of millions of dollars.

After renting an Arabian horse from Winston's stables for a ride, Guo Shouyun stopped.

"My own limited level made Mr. Grubman laugh. ”

A tall middle-aged man with a beard in a standard knight's uniform smiled and said, "Mr. Guo is too humble, your riding skills are not bad at all." ”

"Let's go together?"

Guo Shouyun smiled after handing the reins to the horse trainer.

"Okay!"

The warm sunshine, soft lawn, and green make people feel comfortable, but the two protagonists are mostly not in this beautiful scenery.

"I heard that Mr. Grubman is not having a good time at Maersk?"

Richard Grubman, President and Chief Operating Officer of Maersk, is the third person within the Maersk Group after CEO West Martin and Chairman Jim Hagerman.

"It seems that the information that Mr. Guo got is not accurate, and I have had a very good time at Maersk. ”

Guo Shouyun glanced at the calm-looking man beside him, and was not surprised by his answer and performance. After all, the business elite who has been in the mall for half his life, if he loses his cool by what he says a few words, it will be in vain to waste his time digging out his time to collect information about him.

"But I've heard that Mr. Westmartin has rejected Mr. Grubman's proposal that priority should be given to the development of the logistics base at several meetings of the Maersk Executive Committee. Even, if it were not for Mr. Grubman's strong recommendation, Maersk would not have invested in the island city Qiangang terminal project, but was ready to buy the shipping division of Tiehang Zahua. Guo Shouyun smiled faintly, "It's not a good thing to cooperate with a top boss who is at odds with your strategic decisions. ”

Richard Grubman frowned slightly, "Mr. Guo, anyone will have a different view on the future development of the enterprise, the difference is whether they can reach an agreement through discussion and analysis. Although I and West have differences in the direction of Maersk's future development, we can solve this problem through communication. This is the case with the Qianwan Wharf project in the island city, and the same is true for me to come to the UK to talk to Tiehang Zhahua Company in person. ”

"I'm very willing to believe Mr. Grubman's words, but if there is a chance, wouldn't it be better to find a company that fits your career ideals?" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"I don't really understand Mr. Guo's words!" said Richard Grubman.

"Mr. Grubman's wisdom must have guessed what I was going to say. After a pause, Guo Shouyun said, "I hope Mr. Grubman can be the CEO of Universal Company!"

"Sure enough!"

Richard Grubman said in his heart.

From the Pacific Commodities Trading website, to the Ruby Mall, and more recently, the global company, Richard Grubman has always been very concerned about this rapidly rising large company involved in commodity trading, shipping, logistics, terminals, warehouses, and shipping. It is clear that the position of CEO has been vacant since the departure of its previous CEO, John Roberts. When he received the invitation letter sent by Guo Shouyun to himself, he guessed that it would be such an invitation. It's just that it was speculation before, and now it's a certainty.

"Although the business line of our global company involves bulk commodity trading, shipping, logistics, terminals, warehouses, shipping and finance, the core business is still the construction of bulk commodity trading and logistics system, and logistics pays special attention to the expansion of terminal assets and warehouse assets. ”

“… In the past five years, our shipping self-owned capacity is only 34.67 TEU, and the land capacity is only 648,000 tons, basically not entering the top five in the same industry. However, in terms of terminals and warehouses, we have grown from zero to now have 103 berths in 42 countries around the world, with 612 warehouses and yards, second only to Hutchison Whampoa Port Group, China Merchants International and Singapore Port, ranking fourth in the world. ”
