Unit 11 名人Background KnowledgeI. Michael DellMichael Dell is the founder and CEO of Dell computer corporation that is the world’s largest direct computer company. He is also the youngest person ever to head a Fortune 500 firm. And he is the longest-serving CEO in the computer industry.Michael Dell is clearly a genius in the computer world and business field. At age 13, he got a knack for taking apart the motherboard of his Apple II computer; when he was a senior in high school, he began to show his talent in business. He sold so many newspapers subscriptions that he was able to pay cash when he bought a BMW; In 1983, at 18, as a freshman at the University of Texas, Austin, Dell started selling custom-made personal computers and components out of his dorm room; A year later, with $ 1000 in startup capital, he set up his business and dropped out of university. The day his former classmates were graduating, his sales had already hit $ 70 million a year; At 33, the visionary CEO of Dell Computer is at the pinnacle of the entire PC industry. Today, he runs the second largest (after the HP-Compaq merger) and still fastest growing PC maker in the world with a market capitalization of well over $ 100 billion. What’s more, his revolutionary insights into busines s processes provide invaluable lessons for many other industries as well.What qualifications or achievements make him a leader?(1) He knew his goal clearly and unwaveringly focused on it. When he was a freshman incollege, Michael Dell declared that he wanted to beat IBM. In the following years, he started his own business and achieved his goal unceasingly, no matter what difficulties he faced with. Today, Dell company revenues are about $ 7.8 billion a year. He has passed IBM in annual sales, and is closing in on industry leader Compaq.(2) He has strong sense of innovation. As a successful entrepreneur, he is fond of doingsomething new and takes a risk and works hard to make them work. He also cherishes difference and thinks difference can breed innovation. He hired a diverse work force in his teams with different angles on problems.He dares to change his position and do something new. When he saw opportunity ahead that selling custom-made PCs and components was very profitable, he made a decision to d rop out of university and started his own business. Dell’s sense of innovation makes him hold lots of number 1 record in computer industry. Dell was first in the PC industry to pioneer high-quality, low-cost, direct selling model to end-user. He was also a pioneer to use the World Wide Web to sell products. His company now sells approximately $50 million worth of products on the Net daily, making it one of the world’s largest Windows-based e-commerce sites.(3) He has full responsibility either for business or for family and keeps good balancebetween work and life. He worked hard to create tremendous value for its customers, itsemployees and shareholders. In the spare time, he also spent more time with his wife and kids and wants to be a great dad and a great husband. Every day he drives his kids to school; he always makes pancakes for his kids.(4) Michael Dell has a powerful vision for the future and develops unique business philosophy.He wants his company to have an unrivaled speed to market; an unwavering dedication to customer service; a fierce commitment to producing consistently high-quality, low-priced, custom-made machines; and a shrewd exploitation of the Internet. The vision makes Dell computer successful and unique in the world. What is more, he knows how to use the vision to communicate and motivate his employees and get people excited what he is doing. Dell says ―A lot of businesses get off track because they don’t communicate an excitement about being part of a winning team that can achieve b ig goals.‖II. David Beckham, Soccer Player⊙Born: 2 May 1975⊙Birthplace: Leytonstone, England⊙Best Known As: English soccer midfield star and Mr. Posh SpiceDavid Beckham is a leading English footballer whose popularity extends beyond the field and into international celebrity. Beckham was already a crowd-pleasing star for Manchester United when he married Spice Girls star Victoria Adams (―Posh Spice‖) in July of 1999; the combination of the two heartthrobs proved irresistible to the press and public, and they became one of Britain's most famous couples. As a player Beckham is particularly known for his free kick expertise and spectacular long-range shots (including a famous goal from midfield against Wimbledon in 1996). Manchester United sold Beckham to the Spanish team Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 35 million euros (about 25 million British pounds) in June of 2003. Beckham was disqualified from the 1998 World Cup for a rough foul in England's loss to Argentina, but returned to play in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups. He was captain of the English national team from 2000 until 2006, when he stepped down from the role after a loss to Portugal in the World Cup quarterfinals. In 2007 he signed a multi-million dollar contract to leave Real Madrid and move to the United States and play for the L.A. Galaxy; he first suited up for his new team in a "friendly" match against Chelsea on 21 July 2007.Beckham typically plays midfield. His popular nickname is ―Becks‖. He has three sons with Victoria Beckham: Brooklyn (b. 4 March 1999, Romeo (b. 1 September 2002) and Cruz (b. 20 February 2005). Beckham wore uniform number 7 with Manchester United; upon joining Real Madrid he switched to number 23, with 7 already taken by his teammate Raul; he kept the jersey number with the Galaxy. Real Madrid was already home to several other superstars, including Luis Figo, Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane. The 2002 film Bend It Like Beckham (starring Keira Knightley) was a fictional tale about a soccer-loving teenager. Beckham didn’t star in the movie, but the title has become synonymous with his name.
