In some ways Mr King s appointment was a surprise. Dick Olver, BAE s chairman since 2004,has been on a mission to restore the reputation of a firm that has all too often found itselfat the centre of corruption allegations. In 2007 he took the extraordinary step of asking aformer Lord Chief Justice, Lord Woolf, to lead an independent inquiry into BAE s ethicalstandards. After he pushed Mr Turner into early retirement, it was assumed that Mr Olverwould make a clean break with the past by choosing an outsider to carry forward hiscrusade. Indeed, several Americans were considered for the job . So when Mr King, the only internal candidate, got the nod, somesuspected that the British government had used its golden share to veto the appointment ofa foreigner.
从某些方面来说,金先生的任命出人意料。2004年上任的BAE主席Dick Olver一直都肩负着重塑公司声誉的使命,这个公司已过多地陷入腐败案件的中心。2007年他走出了不同寻常的一步,他请来前最高法院首席法官 Woolf阁下展开对BAE道德标准的独立调查。在他迫使Turner先生提前退休之后,人们认为Olver先生将与过去做出果断的决裂,选择一位局外人来推动他的改革运动。的确,曾有几个美国人被考虑过担任这项职务。所以,当金先生,这个唯一的国内候选人,获得首肯的时候,有些人怀疑英国政府投出了它的 金票来否决一个外国人的任命。
