In Hong Kong zijn de mensen zot van auto’s … en van originele nummerplaten. Vooral bij Goldman Sachs kennen ze er iets van. Goldman Sachs is een van de haaien op Wall Street, maar in Azië doen ze hun naam ook alle eer aan. Slechts enkele minuten rondlopen in de parking van het kantoor in Cheung Kong leert voldoende over de cultuur binnen deze bank.

De auto’s passen meestal ook perfect bij uitspraken van topmanager Blankfein:

“This country does a great job of creating wealth, but not a great of distributing it. But I don’t want to do something that stops our ability to build wealth.”

“The tradition of individual philanthropy remains a core tenet of our culture.“

“The people of Goldman Sachs are committed to assisting those in need and the communities around the world through volunteer endeavors and partnerships with nonprofit organizations.”

“[We are told that] nobody should be able to identify us as Goldman employees once we leave the office.”

“Is it possible to make too much money, to have too much ambition, to be too successful? As the guardian of the interests of the shareholders and, by the way, for the purposes of society, I’d like [my employees] to continue to do what they are doing. I don’t want to put a cap on their ambition. It’s hard for me to argue for a cap on their compensation.”

En als extra:

Of wat dacht je van deze Porsche 911 GT3 RS?

En een Maserati mag natuurlijk ook niet ontbreken.
