巴菲特爲何大筆收購德國公司

legendary investor Warren Buffett is preparing to buy companies in Europe’s biggest and most reliable economy after purchasing a German motorcycle parts maker this month.

在本月買下一家德國摩托車配件製造商之後，投資界傳奇沃倫o巴菲特目前正打算在這個規模和信譽均居歐洲首位的經濟體中開展進一步收購。

Buffett said in an interview published Wednesday in the newspaper Handelsblatt that his Berkshire Hathaway holding company is eyeing companies in Germany because of the size of its economy and its regulatory framework.

德國《商報》上週三刊登了對巴菲特的專訪。後者在採訪中表示，鑑於德國的經濟體量和監管框架，他的控股公司伯克希爾－哈撒韋將目光投向了一些德國企業。

“Germany is a terrific market, lots of people, lots of buying power, productive, it’s got a legal system we feel very good with, it’s got a regulatory system we feel very good with, it’s got people we feel very good with—and customers,” Buffett said.

巴菲特說：“德國是個很不錯的市場，人口衆多，購買力很強，而且生產效率高；我們覺得德國的司法體系非常好，監管制度非常好，德國人非常好，德國客戶也非常好。”

Berkshire Hathaway acquired family-owned motorcycle apparel and accessories retailer Detlev Louis Motorrad-Vertriebs in February and is looking to expand its footprint in Germany. Berkshire Hathaway purchased the company for a little more than 400 million euros ($456 million), Reuters reports.

伯克希爾－哈撒韋本月收購了從事摩托車服裝和配飾零售的家族企業Detlev Louis Motorrad-Vertriebs，而且還打算在德國進行進一步收購。據路透社報道，伯克希爾－哈撒韋以略多於4億歐元（4.56億美元）的價格收購了該公司。

Buffett said he was ready to pay cash for good German companies, despite the weakness of the euro currency, which has dropped more than 15% against the dollar over the past year.

歐元表現低迷，一年來兌美元的貶值幅度超過了15%。儘管如此，巴菲特仍表示他準備用現金收購優質德國企業。
