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 revenue. This was the first McDonald's.
Ricklock took out a loan because he didn't have enough money and used the house as collateral. He hired a lot of rich people to be managers of McDonald's branches, but found that rich people didn't manage them at all, so he knew how to play golf. So he took back the stewardship of the rich and handed over the work to those who lived in poverty but were very industrious. But his wife didn't agree to start a company, so he persuaded her by begging her to invite her to dinner. During the meal, I also met a man and a woman, the woman can play the piano, and Ricklock invited them to manage a branch.
After a long time, he still hadn't repaid the money, so the bank called his wife, so that the wife knew that Ricklock had taken out the loan. Not only did he not repay the mortgage on the house, but he divorced him. And when he went to the bank to get another loan, the bank didn't allow it. Just as he walked out of the bank, a person rushed out and said that he knew how to continue the loan, so he invited that person to his office. The man said: "You should use your loan money to buy good land, lease the land to the manager of the branch, and use that land to mortgage again". So he took the advice and partnered with the man to form a company. Their company surreptitiously bought the brothers' land, gave them $1 million each, and sent them away. Since then, McDonald's has grown faster and has branches all over the world. The more money he makes, the more his wife comes to him, but he refuses, because he wants to find someone who shares his troubles.
This movie shows that one should not be rigid and listen to other people's suggestions. At the same time, to be a manager, one should be able to employ people, those who are diligent and impoverished.
