Warren Buffett’s witty annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway’s shareholders will reach an audience of millions when released on Saturday morning. The 80-year-old loves the limelight, and still epitomises the role of charismatic chief executive. But this year’s report will be examined for what it says about who will run Berkshire after he is gone. And as with Apple chief executive Steve Jobs, Mr Buffett seems to be struggling with the fact that his moment in the limelight is ending.
沃倫?巴菲特(Warren Buffet)上周六早晨發(fā)布了一年一度的致伯克希爾哈撒韋(Berkshire Hathaway)股東信，這封機(jī)智詼諧的信件吸引了無數(shù)的讀者。這位喜歡成為人們關(guān)注焦點(diǎn)的80歲老人，仍是富有魅力的首席執(zhí)行官角色的典型代表。但讀者今年會仔細(xì)審視這封信件，看看它是否談及了巴菲特離任后將由誰執(zhí)掌伯克希爾。與蘋果(Apple)首席執(zhí)行官史蒂夫?喬布斯(Steve Jobs)一樣，巴菲特似乎很難面對一個事實(shí)，即他作為人們關(guān)注焦點(diǎn)的時刻行將結(jié)束。
