"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 problem. And advised him to buy the land so that the franchisees would be under his control.
At 52, Ray Clark was a milkshake salesman. And hit a wall, until the McDonald brothers ordered five milkshake machines at a time at their company. He thought he heard it wrong, when he called and confirmed the address. Immediately went to see the McDonald brothers. It takes 30 seconds to pack a McDonald's when you see people filming the long lines. At the time, it was really a revolution. Drive-in restaurants were popular at the time, with long waits and mistakes. The whole experience was very bad, but the McDonald brothers sensed the need. So they decided to reform.
In this process, there are actually many problems. When they reformed, everyone was not used to queuing up, and they were all sent to the car for them to eat. So, one of the brothers thought of using the Hollywood method. We rented a lot of lights and invited some performers. Many people from Israel came to watch. On the second day, there was still no business, and they thought it was better to go back to the old model. However, a miracle happened when a little boy came to pack McDonald's. Then one car, two cars, three cars.... more and more cars stop here. Since then, McDonald's has become a restaurant that everyone likes.

When Ray Clark was about to join McDonald's, his wife was against it. I feel like I have a house now and can join a club once a week. This kind of life is already very good, and there is no need to toss. At this time, Ray Clark said: "Maybe, I need a visionary wife." In the end, Ray Clark succeeded, first by divorcing her wife. Married a wife who can move forward hand in hand with him. Beautiful and able to help him in his career. In fact, at this time, I can understand why many successful men change their wives. It's because the wife can't keep up with the man's progress, and instead becomes a stumbling block. Therefore, women must allow themselves to constantly improve and grow. Of course, both husbands and wives need constant growth in order for the marriage to be stable.



The reason why McDonald's brothers just created McDonald's, but did not make McDonald's become the big business empire it is today. Or because of the problem of the pattern, the pattern of people's vision is very important. What you want will directly become a reality. Ray Clark is very ambitious, he is good at seizing opportunities, and of course his luck is also very good. Whenever there is a crisis, there are always people around to help. Therefore, when your vision is big enough, it will attract a lot of people to participate together.
However, when I saw the McDonald's brothers, when they sold the McDonald's trademark to Ray Clark for $270 + 1% stake. It's really sad, it's really like my own child. Now, it's sold like that. However, now Ray Clark is out of control. He set up a real estate company to buy land and lease it to franchisees. In this way, he can control which franchisees he can control, and if he feels that the franchisees are not doing well enough, he can replace them at any time. And, the McDonald brothers, after selling the logo to Ray Clark, he couldn't continue to operate either.
Of course, Ray Clark has also achieved a double harvest of career and love. The mall is a battlefield, when Ray Clark sells undervalued. Will listen to some inspirational CDs, which he says is also a way to keep him energized forever. Many people will feel very bloody when they see it. In fact, I think everyone encourages themselves in different ways, and this may be a good way.
