Harli Jordean is not your average eight year old. While his friends are playing computer games, he is busy liaising with suppliers, buying stock and handling orders for his internet marble empire. The tiny tycoon from London has been running the thriving marbleking.co.uk website for two years. 哈里-乔登不是个普通的8岁小孩,当他的同龄人都在打电脑游戏时,他却在忙着为他的网上弹球公司联系供应商,购货,处理订单。这位来自伦敦的小富翁经营了一个专卖弹球的网站长达两年,生意红火。 The company is now turning over thousands of pounds each year - with orders flooding in from as far away as America. Harli is so busy he's even had to employ his mum and two older brothers to help him cope with the sheer demand for products on his website. But, instead of being overwhelmed, the primary school pupil remains professional and has ambitious plans for the future. Harli said: 'My dream is to have a chain of stores like Hamleys - it will be one of the biggest toy stores in the world but selling all sorts of marbles. 他的这家公司每年年收入可以达到上千英镑,订单也来自世界各地,连美国的订单都有。哈里现在很忙,他不得不雇佣自己的妈妈和两个哥哥来帮他一起处理网上订货要求。不过,小哈里并未被此打倒,反而保持着专业的水准,而且对未来充满斗志。他说,“我的梦想是要开像哈姆利(英国最受欢迎的玩具店)那样的连锁店,它会成为全世界最大的玩具店之一,但只卖各种各样的弹球。” |
