Wonderful life after the age of 52

Ray Kroc, as the man who built the McDonald's empire, this biography of him is a more realistic display of his legendary life after the age of 52. How did McDonald's develop rapidly and what kind of opportunity made a life go through it? Half-middle-aged frustrated milkshake blender salesman becomes a lucrative success

Ricklock's way of employing people

The founder of McDonald's, Rick Locke, turned out to be a salesman with decent living conditions. His wife thought he could start enjoying himself, but he still wanted a better life, and he didn't have enough money, so he decided to start a company. He stumbled across two brothers, and seeing that they had invented a quick meal format, he begged them to let him in. They set the rules: the two brothers were in charge of the main store, and he was in charge of opening a branch to get 3% of...

"The Great Entrepreneur" movie review

The film is based on a true story, the process of creating McDonald's. Ray Clark was not the one who actually founded McDonald's, but he turned McDonald's into a business empire. Everyone thinks that McDonald's sells hamburgers, but in fact we do real estate. While expanding McDonald's stores, he was plunged into an economic crisis. At this time, a financial advisor helped him sort out the current...

The key to success in entrepreneurship is grabbing, profit-oriented

This story tells us that the success of entrepreneurship depends on grabbing. First of all, luckily, Ray accidentally saw the first McDonald's. After burning, have a vision and find the market demand for fast food. Optimistic about the McDonald's model. Also have the courage to insist on negotiating the franchise. If you have money and guts, you can mortgage your house to buy a Bole, and you will find that people have ideas, can give speeches, have family ideas, go to church, wine bureaus,...

Do not forget the original intention, not always

At first, infected with Ray's enthusiasm, he was also angry at being restrained by his original brother while he was desperately expanding his business. In my opinion, the change happened when I met the person who proposed that real estate is the creator of the economy, a natural economist, and the person who "brought bad" Ray. The craftsman spirit and the interests of businessmen in the later period became the main theme of the film. The whole movie is very realistic, but it made me feel...

This is the first time I know that McDonald's came from this way. It's a black history, but the film seems to secretly add a halo to the protagonist. This kind of secret behavior makes people feel even more...

The fast food model was invented by two brothers, the real estate route was suggested by Sonneborn, and the milkshake way to save money was discovered by Joan Smith. I admit that ambition and perseverance are very important, but I don't believe it when you say that there is no good luck in meeting noble people in this...

Movie quotes

[first lines]

Ray Kroc: I know what you're thinkin'... What the heck do I need a 5-spindle for... when I barely sell enough milkshakes to justify my single-spindle. Right? Wrong. Are you familiar with the notion of the chicken or the egg Mr. Griffith, I mentioned... that there'd be costs. Well, I think it applies here. Do you not need the multimixer because, well heck, you're not selling enough milkshakes. Or are you not selling enough milkshakes because you don't have a multimixer? I firmly believe it's the latter. Because your customer comes in here and he knows if he orders a shake from your establishment... that well, he's in for a terrific wait. He's done it before and he thinks to himself, well by golly, I'm not gonna make that mistake again. But if ya had the Prince Castle, 5-spindle, multimixer... with patented direct-drive electric motor we'd greatly increase your ability to produce... delicious, frosty milkshakes, FAST. Mark my words. Dollars to donuts, you'll be sellin' more of those sons of bitches... then you can shake a stick at. You increase the supply, and the demand will follow... Increase supply, demand follows. Chicken, egg. Do you follow my logic?I know you do because you're a bright, forward thinking guy who... knows a good idea when he hears one. So... What do you say?
Dick McDonald: Ray we have no interest in a milkshake that contains NO MILK.
Ray Kroc: Now, I know what you're thinkin'. How the heck does a 52 year old, over-the-hill milkshake machine salesman... build a fast food empire with 16,000 restaurants, in 50 states, in 5 foreign countries... with an annual revenue of in the neighborhood of $700,000,000.00... One word... PERSISTENCE. Nothing in this world can take the place of good old persistence. Talent won't. Nothing's more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius won't. Unrecognized genius is practically a cliche. Education won't. Why the world is full of educated fools. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful.
