閱讀理解。
At five he was collecting old newspapers to make money. And when he was 15 he signed his
schoolmates up to start a babysitting circle.
Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a
company with a ￡30000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than 15000 by next summer.
He set up Peter Backborn Ltd last year to bring out a new, colour term-planner that now
students all over the UK are using.
"I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative, " he says "I believed
that I could do a better job and decided to have a go."
Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies
course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his
business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one
holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money.
"Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get
a job to support themselves," he says "I work hard at my company because that is what will
support me next year, after I leave college."
Friends believe that Blcakburn will make ￡1 million within 5 years.
He is not quite so sure, however, "There's a lot to be done yet," he says.
