I certainly didn't expect it. And I would venture that most confectionery professionals, unless they had an inside track within Mars Snackfood's executive sanctum, knew that the Hackettstown, N.J.-based candy concern was going to purchase Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. Observers way smarter than this fellow have been applauding the deal, noting that the merger provides both companies with access to new markets and expanded distribution. No less a sage than the Oracle of Omaha, the famed financer Warren Buffet, not only blessed the deal, he helped broker it with a tidy $4.4 billion line of credit. Buffet, who's know for appreciating and investing in companies that he can understand, ones that have strong brands and straightforward business models, acknowledged that he's been "a big fan of Wrigley's business model for many years, and I love their products."

机译：我当然没想到。而且我敢说大多数糖果专业人士，除非他们在Mars Snackfood的执行圣所中有内幕，否则他们知道总部位于新泽西州Hackettstown的糖果公司将收购Wm。箭牌公司（Wrigley Jr. Co.）的观察员比这名同事聪明得多，他一直对这笔交易表示赞赏，并指出合并将为两家公司提供进入新市场和扩大分销的渠道。就像是著名的融资人沃伦·巴菲特（Warren Buffet）的奥马哈先知（Oracle）一样明智，他不仅为这笔交易锦上添花，而且还以44亿美元的整笔信贷额度帮助该经纪人。巴菲特以欣赏和投资于他能理解的公司而闻名，这些公司拥有强大的品牌和直截了当的商业模式，他承认，他“多年来一直是箭牌商业模式的忠实拥护者，我喜欢他们的产品”。
