夏说英语新闻晨读 第622期:巴菲特准备在英国投资（在线收听）

Warren Buffett has said he's ready to invest in Britain. Even for the legendary investor, that could be a tough bet. Buffett's record in the United Kingdom is spotty. He's referred to his investment in supermarket chain Tesco as a "big mistake." And an attempt by Berkshire Hathaway-backed Kraft Heinz to buy Unilever in 2017 collapsed after the consumer goods giant said it wasn't interested. Still, Buffett has made clear that he's eager to plow some of Berkshire's cash into a huge deal, and that Britain remains on the table.
