一个是私人家族企业，高居全球第二大航运公司，却从来没有上市没公开过一份财报，更是从创立以来从来没有让外人（家族成员以外的人）担任过集团CEO！
一个是行业巨无霸，雄踞全球第一大集装箱班轮公司几十年，其本身的发家成长就是一部收购史（从收购Sealand收购P&O到收购汉堡南美），近年更是丢弃所有非核心业务专注集装箱班轮主业！
当一个航运进入低谷，十年多没有大起色的时候，任何事情都有可能发生！！
如果你怀疑，你就输了！
就像你打死不相信 全球第七大船公司韩进竟然会倒闭一样！
就像你打死不相信 从来没有家族以外的人能够进入 MSC的董事会，竟然急不可待地力邀一个“死敌”的老臣过来担任CEO一样！！
就像你打死不相信 一个为马士基工作25年的老臣，仅仅离职一周，就可以不受同业禁止协议的约束，跑到禁止对手那边担任掌门人一样！
也可能就像你打死不相信的这个大胆预测--Maersk已在为收购MSC布局 一样！
但是，请注意，以上四分之三的“打死不相信”都已经是事实了！！

原马士基首席运营官Soren Toft将担任MSC新CEO

当马士基三军用命死守主业（集装箱班轮业务）时，当来自中国的COSCO，和来自法国的CMA喋喋不休并购、造大船，以及玩命的的追赶时，急需摆脱这些纠缠的马士基，收购同样来自欧洲（要知道马士基此前最重要的收购都是在欧洲，比如P&O，汉堡南美）的MSC， 似乎是唯一，最佳，无他的上上之选！！
全球知名的咨询巨头麦肯锡，去年就已经指出： 未来或将只会有3-4家集装箱海运企业！
在几轮运力过剩和合并收购之后，未来或将只会有3-4家集装箱海运企业！
▲ 麦肯锡对航运业未来的判断！
当所有的百思不得其解喧嚣尘上之时。
你，相信马士基已在为收购MSC提前布局吗？
