“We’re very likely to partner with them, perhaps on some things that are very large,” said Warren Buffett yesterday at his company’s annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska. According to a report by Bloomberg News, Warren Buffett, 83, reported that, “3G does a magnificent job of running businesses.”

“There’s no question that it’s a different style than Berkshire, and I don’t think it would pay to blend the two,” reported Warren Buffett, who is also called the “Wizard of Omaha.”

The chairman and chief executive officer of Gamco Investors Inc, Mario Gabelli, said that Warren Buffett should consider acquiring General Mills, Inc. according to Reuters.
