American billionaire Warren Buffett appeared as a special guest on a popular Chinese Lunar New Year variety show this weekend -- strumming?a ukulele.
Buffett sang the folk song ?I?ve Been Working On The Railroad? in the video posted on state broadcaster CCTV?s ?Spring Festival Gala? website, with a model railroad set as the backdrop.
New Year is an important holiday in China, and Buffett is a well-known figure in the country because of his business success. His company Berkshire Hathaway is also part-owner of BYD, a Chinese company that makes electric vehicles.
Buffett?s song likely refers to his acquisition of railroad company Burlington Northern Santa Fe for $34 billion in 2009.
The deal was seen as a major bet on the future of the U.S. economy. The hauler of food products, coal and consumer goods imported from Asia is seen as an indicator of the country?s economic health.
