    Joe was an old man. The 75-year-old lived very happily in a village and had a beautiful family. Joe had four grandchildren, and they visited him during their holidays.

During one vacation, Joe was preparing his home for the kids: cleaning and buying their favorite foods. After he finished working, he realized he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe loved the watch very much, especially after his wife's death. He was very upset about losing it.

    Once his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch.

    One granddaughter asked: "Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?"

    "I guess when I was cleaning the barn(谷仓)!" Joe replied.

    The children looked for more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it. The kids were now also sad, but they tried to comfort(安慰) their grandfather.

    One grandson went back to the barn to search again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time. But the little boy just asked the others not to follow him and to remain silent.

    He was there for about fifteen minutes and then rushed to his grandfather. He found the watch and happily gave it to Joe.

    Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy replied: "I sat there without making a noise, and the barn was so silent. After a few minutes, I heard the ‘tick, tick' sound and found the watch."

In 1987 a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30years of development , the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's second largest maker of smartphones. It has also be-come the world's largest supplier(供应商)of 5G. 

But recently, Huawei faces some difficulties. The US government made a law to stop its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the US government stopped selling parts and services to Huawei. They believed that Huawei's business would be hurt this way. 

"We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information, " Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's president said. "The law would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems, " Ren added. 

In an interview(采访) several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, "I started Huawei with only£ 4, 000 at the beginning, but now it has be-come a $ 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine. "

Facing the law of the US, Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. So far, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment supplier(电信设备供应商), selling in 170 countries! It may beat Samsung as the largest smart phone maker in the near future.
