Once, Andy Grove, the president of Intel Corporation was an influential man of American weekly publication “Times”. Many people knew he was an American tycoon, but no one knew that he had unknown hardships. Because of his poor family, Andy Grove tasted the bitterness of lacking insufficient food and clothes and being looked down upon in his childhood, so he swore to stand out in the future. During studying at school, he showed his business talent, bought different kinds of semiconductor parts on the market, assembled them and sold them to his classmates at a low price. Since his semiconductor parts were much cheaper, but the quality was good, they were hot selling at school. Besides, he did well in his study. Unexpectedly, he was rather a pessimistic and extreme, which would be expressed fully on his way to do business. On one twilight When Andy Grove went bankrupt for three times, he took a walk alone besides a river of his hometown. At the moment, he thought of his early departed parents and every going bankrupt, he felt gloomy and couldn’t help crying sadly. After a while, he was in a daze and thought he would be quickly free from pains if he jumped into the river. Suddenly, a silly young man walked towards him from the opposite bank. Carrying a junket, the young man sang and walked to the bridge . “Dear Sir, did you catch many fish today?” Grove asked curiously. “No, I catch none.” The young man answered. “Now that you gain nothing, why are you still so happy?” Grove asked confusedly. “The main reason why I fish is not making much money, instead, I quite enjoy the process of fishing. Don’t you think the river water was more charming when it was rendered by sunset cloud.” The young man said happily. Therefore, after being begged by Andy Grove for many times, this young man who knew nothing about business became his close-fitting assistant. “Yes, he knew nothing about business indeed, and I am not short of wisdom and talents of doing business, but he has optimistic attitude towards life, which will influence me not to make wrong decisions and warn me to find simple happiness in our daily life.” In brief, as an outstanding E-platform of promoting stone industry, the overall product marketing system of us is based with the target that to assist stone enterprises to extend their overseas markets and upgrade their brands freely and effectively stonebtb.
