ARNOLD &
BUFFETT's LOADED ELEPHANT GUN?
Buffett's Back, with the Terminator!

Tuesday, September 24, 2002
WADDESDON MANOR, England (Reuters) - The world's second-richest man dropped into the English countryside with the Terminator at his side on Monday, a day after warning the UK's corporate big game his elephant gun was loaded.
Billionaire Warren Buffett and mean machine Arnold Schwarzenegger touched down by helicopter on the immaculate lawns of Waddesdon manor, a Renaissance-style chateau in the undulating hills of Buckinghamshire.
Buffett, 72, is guest of honor at a closed two-day meeting of some of the world's most powerful businessmen and financiers -- the ultimate networking opportunity.
The get-together in the ancestral home of the Rothschild banking family will discuss economic and political issues, the organizers said. But Buffett's remark, made in a weekend newspaper interview, that he is looking for a "big deal" in Britain has stolen the agenda.
"We are hunting the elephant... We have got an elephant gun and it's loaded," Buffett told the Sunday Telegraph.
Among those invited to Waddesdon Manor were the likes of James Wolfensohn, president of the World Bank, Jorma Ollila, chief executive of Nokia and De Beers chairman Nicky Oppenheimer.
Schwarzenegger was on the guestlist as a celebrity customer of the conference sponsor NetJets Inc, a private jets business owned by Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc..
This year's stock market carnage is made for Buffett, the billionaire Oracle of Omaha, Nebraska. A godsend for firms who need cash quickly, he has more than $7 billion in cash on hand, and can set-up iron-clad deals in a day. His philosophy is simple: "Work out how much it will pay out from now until Judgement Day, then discount it back and buy it cheaper," he told shareholders at his annual meeting in May, when asked for the secret of his success.
A procession of black cars with darkened windows swept up the drive of the 120-year-old English country house amid tight but discreet security.
A group of photographers captured the moment when Buffett and Schwarzenegger, resplendent in steel-tipped cowboy boots, stepped onto Waddesdon's freshly cut lawn to be greeted by Lord Jacob Rothschild.
"It's very nice of you to host this," Schwarzenegger said.
For the UK company in Buffett's sights, it may well be hasta la vista, baby.

Is Arnold the running man?

Tough-guy Arnold Schwarzenegger is a man more familiar with the red carpets of a
movie premiere than a white collar business seminar, so the sight of the
Terminator escorting Warren Buffet, the second-richest man on the planet, to the
European Economic Round Table conference on Monday was slightly strange. His
pressed business suit, white shirt (attaboy Arnie) and sombre striped tie were a
world away from the army fatigues or black leather jacket of his signature
roles, triggering speculation that a career change may be just around the
corner.
After a string of flops - remember Eraser, End of Days and Collateral Damage?
Probably not - the actor needs next year’s Terminator 3 to hit paydirt. Should
the film nosedive he plans to move into politics and run for the governorship of
California, the platform from which Ronald Reagan propelled himself into the
White House. A spokesman for NetJets, the corporate aircraft firm owned by
Buffet - which sponsored the seminar - insisted Arnie was an ordinary delegate,
as well as a customer, just there to listen. He was not there to talk nor paid
to attend.
From the sidelines it seems a slick piece of synergy by the billionaire Buffet:
organise a lavish conference at Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, the
ancestral home of the Rothschild banking family, invite the world’s leading
businessmen and financiers, and dazzle them with a major Hollywood star.
Schwarzenegger, an astute businessman himself with a degree in business and
economics from the University of Wisconsin, gains the wisdom and knowledge of
guest speakers such as James Wolfensohn, president of the World Bank, Jorma
Ollila, chief executive of Nokia and Roland Berger, a prominent consultant in
global strategy. After two days of handshakes and drinks he’ll have boosted his
credibility with the men who may one day bankroll his political ambitions. He
might well also point out how happy he is with NetJets’ services. The company,
whose other clients include Pete Sampras and Martina Hingis, sell an eighth or a
16th of a private jet to customers, entitling them to a certain number of flying
hours without the expense of maintaining ground crews and hanger space.
A Republican - though one married to a Kennedy - Schwarzenegger signalled his
support for Dubya Bush in his choice of footwear. While his follow guests
shuffled around in their handmade Italian shoes, Arnie had the additional
swagger bestowed by a pair of black cowboy boots with stainless steel tips.
What appeared to be a promotional stunt may instead be the actor’s next step
towards joining the President’s political posse
