Cruel or become the biggest winner?

After starting a business, you should first protect your intellectual property rights. Otherwise, you will be embarrassed by others, and then people all over the world will think that they belong to him. It stands to reason that the invention of McDonald's and the creation of high-efficiency mechanisms have nothing to do with Lei, but as a promoter, he eventually became the biggest beneficiary of the entire system. Finally, his business card was written "McDonald's founder", which is really ironic. . And his promotion benefited from the young people who advised him in the bank, completely changed his income system, and allowed fast food to expand into a global business empire. Without the guidance of young people, this venture may only repeat the mistakes of the previous nth time.

Of course, Lei's ultimate benefit also depends on his dedication, decision-making decisive, desperate, solitary, cruel, bold and strategic. It can only be said that some people are more suitable for creation, and the people created are not necessarily the ones who can promote and expand. The failure of the McDonald’s brothers’ promotion is that the McDonald’s brand created by their own hands is too cherished for fear of accidentally ruining it, so they are fearful. And Lei’s feelings for McDonald’s without commercial interests are in fact far inferior to the McDonald’s brothers, so he can boldly create and try.

Also, don't pretend to think that you can grow up with a man, from nothing to success. Unless your growth rate can keep up with his growth rate during the period from nothing to success, plus a perfect fit of perspective during this period. But in fact, even if you completely keep up with his growth rate, there will always be someone who is more suitable, and the day when he succeeds is when you go down. And don't try to have a sense of righteousness in a businessman. Lei said when he divorced his wife, "If you give her shares in McDonald's, I'd rather die." What the ex-wife took away was all the property he had when he was unsuccessful, but the houses and cars he took away immediately had capital to be replaced with better ones.

It could be, anything you want it to be... it's limitless, it's wide open... it sounds, uh... it sounds like... it sounds like America. That's compared to Kroc. What a crock. What a load of crock.
