他的名字：ChristianOwens，年龄：16岁。“在苹果公司总裁乔布斯的影响下”，他在两年内赚到了人生的第一个一百万美金。以下就为你介绍他是如何达到这一成就的。
The British teen—who lives in Corby, Northamptonshire—got his first computer age seven. Three years later he got a Mac and taught himself web design. Four years later—at age 14, in 2008—he started his first company. It was a simple site that some of you may know: Mac Bundle Box. The site was pretty, rooted into Apple's own design guidelines and style.
这位来自北安普顿郡Corby的英国少年，在7岁的时候得到了自己的第一台电脑，3年后有了一台苹果电脑，并且自学了网页设计。4年后，也就是2008年，14岁的他开始创办了自己的公司。这是一个简单的网站：Mac Bundle box，有些人或许已知道这个网站。这个植根于苹果设计理念及具有苹果风格的网站做的很漂亮。
The page sold a package of very neat Mac OS X applications for a discounted price and for a limited time. He would negotiate with the developers to get a discount deal on their apps. The resulting bundle had a combined retail value of around $400, but he would sell it for a tenth of that price.
这个网站上会限时打折销售用于MacOS X 操作系统一套非常简洁的应用程序包。他和程序开发者协商并达成以一定的折扣价拿到这套应用程序的协议。这套程序包的最终市场零售价约为400美元，但是他能做到以一折的价格销售这套产品。
Not only that: If enough people bought the package, a new application would get unlocked for all buyers, which guaranteed very good word-of-mouth promotion. And to top it all, Owens dedicated a percentage of all sales to charity.
不仅如此：如果购买这套产品的用户达到了一定的数量，他还会为所有的用户解锁一个新的应用程序，这也确保了非常好的销售口碑。最为难得的是，Owens会从总销售额中抽出一定的比例捐献给慈善事业。
The idea did well. Very well, in fact: In its first two years, Mac Bundle Box made $1,000,000 (700,000 British Pounds).
他的这些想法做得非常成功，事实上：Mac Bundle Box在最初的两年内就赚到了一百万美元（70万英镑）。
Not happy with that success, Owens jumped into a new venture called Branchr, a pay-per-click advertising company that distributes 300 million ads per month on over 17,500 websites, iPhone, and Android applications. The company, which claims to deliver "contextual, behavioral, publisher-defined, and geographically" targeted ads in those platforms, has already made $800,000 in its first year and employs eight adults including his 43-year-old mother, Alison.
这次成功的事业并没有让Owens满足并止步，随后他又投入到另一个叫Branchr的公司，这是一个按点击量计费的广告公司，它为17500个网站、iPhone及Android应用程序提供的广告点击量达到每月3亿次。凭着为用户提供“具有上下文相关、目标行为、用户自定义，以及地理相关等特性的广告”的口号，这家公司在第一年内就赚到了80万美金，并雇用了8名成年员工，其中包括Owens自己43岁的妈妈Alison。
He doesn't know where he would be in 10 years, but the next thing he wants to do is to make one hundred million British pounds with Branchr. He seems to be on his way to success. He claims his business is growing strong—Branchr has already bought another company—and he reinvests all the money back into the company.
他并没有规划10年内会有些什么打算，只是定下自己的下一个目标是通过Branchr赚到一亿英镑。看上去他正走在通向成功的轨道上，他说自己的事业正处于蒸蒸日上的状态中——Branchr已经收购了另一家公司——并且他又把赚到的钱重新投入到这家公司当中。
His secret to success? There's no secret, he says:
他的成功秘诀是什么？没有什么秘诀，他说：
There is no magical formula to business, it takes hard work, determination and the drive to do something great.
商业中没有什么魔法公式，它需要的是努力工作、正确决策以及从事伟大事业的驱动力。
In an age of idiotized kids who can't focus on anything, we salute you, Christian.
尚处于被认为不能专心于任何事情的愚钝小孩的年纪而能达到如此成就，我们向你致敬，Christian。
