DELL BOY MADE GOOD
Some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs cut their business teeth on the playground. Michael Dell is no exception. At 12, he made $ 2,000 (£ 1,255) selling his stamp collection, and by 14, he had come up with a marketing scheme to sell newspapers. This earned him £11,200--more money than some of his teachers made--and led to the creation of the Dell Computer Corporation, the industry’s fastest-growing company. He is now the ninth-richest man in the world, with a personal fortune of £12.5 billion, from seed capital of just £627 in 1984.
(8) He says, "I thought it was marvelous that this little device could do my math homework much faster than I ever could, and it really started me thinking about electronics. I loved taking things apart and putting them back together again, although I could not always get them working. I quickly became interested in personal computers when I was given an Apple II, and set up computer bulletin boards to trade ideas with other enthusiasts. I wanted to own every gadget possible."
Dell attended a computer convention in Austin, Texas, and was astonished at the huge profit margin on the sale of electronics. (9) This discovery set him thinking, as a customer, about finding a feasible way to get the gadgets without buying them directly from stores, as they charged so much money.
Dell began a degree at the University of Texas in 1983, hoping to study medicine. (10) .
"I decided to leave college and set up a business full time. I started with a simple question: how can we make the process of making a computer better? The answer was. sell computers directly to the end customers, eliminate the profit made by stores, and pass those savings on to the customers."
(11) An expert helped him to build his computers while Dell concentrated on finding cheap components. In the company’s first nine months it earned gross sales of £3.76m, and then £20.7m within two years.
Dell says you cannot learn how to be an entrepreneur. " (12) I have always looked at problems in a different way, realized what I am good at, and surrounded myself with a successful team. "
A This, Dell did at a frightening pace.
B I had to make a decision about what I was going to do with my life.
C He found that he could buy a disk drive for £500, which would sell in the shops for£1,882.
D Some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs cut their business teeth on the playground.
E It comes from somewhere deep inside.
F Dell first tried his hand at electronics at the tender age of 15, when he was given a calculator by his father to help him in the math club he attended after school each day.
G While there, he absorbed himself in his computers, away from the eyes of his disapproving parents.
