(20l9·北京卷)Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业
)who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy.By the time
she was 13,her company was worth millions of dollars with the
invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids'teeth,instead of
destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad.On the outing,she was
offered a candy bar.However,her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for
her teeth.But Moore was sick of missing out on candies.So she desired to get round
the warning,"Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my
parents can't say no to it?"With that in mind,Moore asked her dad if she could start
her own candy company.He recommended that she do some research and talk to
dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad's permission,she spent the next two years researching online and
conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly.She also
approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning.Consequently,she succeeded
in making a kind of candy only by using natural sweeteners,which can reduce oral
bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground.Afterwards,she
and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner,who
finally agreed to sell Moore's product-CanCandy.
As CanCandy's success grows,so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur.
