这位健康的老人认为他不需要保卫人员随行,当他开股东大会的时候身边几乎没有什么保卫人员,他说他认为这没有这个必要.

这就不奇怪这位美国杰出的投资者,选择住在远离城市中心的纽约,洛杉矶,芝加哥和迈阿密.其中的原因就是他成功的秘密之所在.
-"欢迎来到奥马哈!"
-"这就是奥马哈."
-"你从未离开过这里."
-"是的,除了?????"

-"他很喜欢奥马哈,他对这个城市非常的了解,他对这里的人也非常的熟悉,在这里他也有许多的生意关系,他在奥马哈的房子里住了很久,他是那种喜欢不断搬迁的人,所以我认为他住在奥马哈会感到更加的开心."
在美国YMU stern学校的一个教授告诉我们他觉得是奥马哈使Buffett获得成功的.
-"从Buffett身上我学到是不要让别人的建议影响你自己的正确决定,因为每个人的观点都是不一样的,而我认为恰恰就是奥马哈使的巴菲特获得成功,因为奥马哈不像纽约那样经常会收到外界的打扰."
-"你就是在这里长大的,你的童年就是在这个镇里度过的."
-"是的,我会在奥马哈的街上打棒球,家里的小孩都去学校上学了,我现在看到小孩子去上学,还会回忆起这些场景来,所以这是一个另我难以忘怀的地方."

-"and that's the way stay honest,yach,well,you know i mean what i need to ..if i were need nobody never to know what i actual sense,i mean i never had two kids,second home,you know i ???store,something because i had never to do."
when we come back,what's the life that have that much money,you will be surprised,we'll show you how the honerable Buffett lives and why the world's most famous investor stays 1250 miles away from the New York in the Braskcorn country.
-"well,what we were talking about how business works and mistakes that have been made you know what should IBM have done,what should business done,just to see the way he thought through maybe realize that i could talk to my whole life."
the second richest man on the planet lives the way he invests,simply and without much fast,no noterrush,no cellphone in his pocket,no computer on his desk when he is hungry,it's burgers and flies and cherry coca,he does choose the G4 instead of commercial but then again he basically owns net jets,the country's biggest traditional practional jet on the ship business,Buffett's life seems to hear his deals,it's all transprant,what he see is what you get.
-"you turn 76 in August."
-"that's right,August 30."
-"Happy Birthday."

-"and you took the less?"
-"yeach less do either."
-"Because shareholder need owners,want you healthy."
-"i want to be healthy too.i'm amazingly healthy"
healthy and surprisingly down to earth.Buffett looks around freely unencoumbed by security detail.he has few guards with him during any shareholders meeting,but he says he doesn't feel the need to put himself in the cookcoon."
-"you did go to Isreal,it's an investment in near a war zone,i saw the vedio you walking around,airplanes screaming over and patrolling,did that worry you at all?"
-"no,not at least.our planes stay at about 10 miles in the eastern port.and they work,maybe Iraq too,the park something sort,but what you know,it can be dangerous in this country, i mean,who you thought is the no dangerous place should be?"
-"did you worry shareholders?did you hear from them about going to Isreal during that time?"
-"i've heard a few people,but,they just understand,i mean,i mean,they are share business,i,i had sent infrequently then,so i don't worry about something like that."
-"but some CEOs are told security by details,they don't want to go with the elevator with any other person you are not like that."
-"no ,it's no fun living that way was,i mean it's practical matter,i like the way i was living when i was 20 years,i still like that way i mean,i like,i like to go home when i wear sweater suit,do what i like to do,i don't go pratically social functions normal,i know what i enjoy,it doesn't tired in many ways,it doesnt tire how much money,i mean you spend equal you cost way.my daughter was about 2 blocks away from there."
Buffett is comfortable here in the Omaha,in part,because people will even alone with the exception of the random fanner,too.
-"somebody want to say hi"
-"oh,yach"
-"hi,how are you,this is the first time i've met a billionaire."
-"he is always the first."
-"oh,yeach,lucky."
-"take care."
this billionaire doesnt even have a sofar he drive himself around in the 2006KELLECT DTS recently purchased from auction,the old Lincon town car,famous forest,50 licence plate.
-"you do not want to accumulate a lot of things?"
-"no,most the twice paying that act,i mean i fire a boat,you know i have a cruel six day(???????????????????????)would be going on i would care about much easier from that both right?"
-"but what's your indulter?"
-"when you know,if i get one of the feature in TV,naturally watch CNBC,be honest,to watch the basketball play,a good football game,and i should eat popcorn and i mean,wear sweater suit,i mean enjoying during life."
-"you are happy."

it's really no surprise then that american's most prominent investor choose to live far from the nation's money delete in New York,Los Angeles,Chicago,Miami,the reason is critical to his success.
-"Welcome to Omaha!"
-"that's it."
-"and you never left here?"
-except when i ?????????????"
-"do you think stay in Omaha has made you a better investor?"
-"yach,i mean i had to know everyday,so its also stimulation,you know what i mean ,you know a good idea either,so i think i can think better out of here last destruction."
"someone invest250 billion dollars..."Mike F in Omaha,he knows Buffett for25 years.
-"he is comfortable here,he knows the city,he knows the people here,he has relationships here,most business imperson relationships,so i think he is more happy be right in Omaha,i mean he lives the same house for long i can remember,he is not the gay who moves around very easy."
ask waht do more than is the professor at YMU stern school business,he feels Buffett's success is direct result of the living in the Brusk.
-"i think what i learn in Buffett's body is what important to taking for yourself not letting other advices,other experts tell you what the right stock to invest because they are coming from a very different places than you are.and i think,being in Omaha might give the advantage because you don't have the constant exposure to what the rest of the world the things you have in the New York."
-"yach,i mean,you play baseball in the street of the Omaha and you know i still sees kids went to ???that school ???so you know,that's sensitive community in living here."
-"it's home."
-"yach,it's home.thats for??pain you know,the follow???about you meet is about going Omaha insurance saleman,yach,they were actually you remember."
-"and you always stay in the???"
-"i've been that house now for 48 years,i pay 31500 dollars to buy that,it's a wonderful man"
-"so you 've never want to be big CEO type manager."
-"i've everything i had."
-"you've got the all"
-"i've got the everything i need."
