VII. Read and translate the article about an American entrepreneur.

A young entrepreneur

Jayson Meyer was sixteen when he and his younger brother Matthew started their technology company. Jayson lives in Daytona Beach, Florida, in the USA. He looks like any typical university student, but Jayson doesn’t go to the university. He doesn’t need to. He is already a successful businessman. Jayson is a co-founder and CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of Meyer Technologies, Inc.

At high school, Jayson spent a lot of time working on computers for the school and local businesses. He didn’t have time for school work, but he could fix almost any computer problem. So when he was fifteen, Jayson left school went into business full time. With his brother, he set up a shop at the local weekend market. The business was successful and quickly went from making $4,000 in the first year to $100,000 per year. The company builds special computers and creates software programmes for its clients. Many small businesses in Florida can’t afford in-house computer support. They rely on service companies like Meyer Technologies to maintain their computers, and the company has plenty of customers.

Today Jayson is helping to grow another company called WorkSmart MD, which makes special software for doctor’s offices. Jayson now employs a number of technical staff and most of them are older than their boss. Jayson works hard and often sleeps at the office. He doesn’t have a lot of free time to do the things that most young people do, but he doesn’t mind. He says, ‘I’d rather be building an international business. I think about my business most of the time – it’s my blood.’
