Don't start a business if you don't be ruthless

The story of the Golden Arch started here. It originated from a 52-year-old middle-aged American who was unwilling to retire. In the process of selling milkshake mixers, he smelled a little bit of fortune.

The origin of everything is so simple and unbelievable. There is a lonely and indifferent restaurant standing alone on the desolate open space. Who would have thought that there is a huge amount of wealth buried here. No matter how big the wealth is, someone needs to dig it. The McDonald's brothers saw the gold on the land and were already satisfied, but Ray smelled the entire American gold bar hidden underneath like a hound. He put in a lot of hard work and insisted on starting from every difficulty, and the difficulty became bigger and bigger in the process. I was surprised to see that Ray never had any self-doubt, at least in the film. He walked down this road unswervingly, even if he pledged his house and almost no place to live. Hesitate your choice. I want to say that he is extremely lucky. If he hadn't met Harry Sonneborn and had given him the idea of ​​buying real estate and selling burger restaurants at that critical moment, he would really have died a long time ago. Some people start their own business with smooth winds and favorable conditions. For example, Robin Li does Baidu, and some people make great achievements in the end, such as Jack Ma doing Alibaba. Entrepreneurship is not something that everyone can take. Any bumps on the road may ruin your efforts at a fatal moment. The most common way to die is to break your funds. Ray was almost ruined during his rapid expansion. According to his regular chain business model, even if he temporarily borrowed money to alleviate the funding problem, it will sooner or later be a dead end. People who start a business are really dead. If I were Ray’s ex-wife, I would probably not support him to mortgage the property again to set up a hamburger restaurant. After all, the milkshake making machine business that I ventured out of last time was a desperate failure. Ray is very hungry, and this hungry is destined that if he fails at McDonald's, he will continue to start his own business at the age of 60 and 70. Besides, he is not a good person at all, and it is not surprising that he betrayed anyone for personal business interests. It is also very important that it is his turn to lie to others, and it is not his turn to lie to him. If you are a good old person, it is good to have no intention of harming others. If you don't even have the heart to defend against others, then I advise you not to start any careers, work hard or become a freelancer.

Mike Keaton really looked like Ray himself, even that decisive force was exactly the same as the greed and cruelty written on his face.

    Although it is still the same as the director’s predecessors "Weakness" and "The Big Dreamer", the core is the self-struggle of ordinary characters and the chicken soup full of energy. But the story of McDonald’s own business and fortune is worthy of being broken, making the film more chewy than the previous two. Keaton played so well, he showed both perfect and imperfect roles. This is also the director's best movie! (After reading, I went to M Ji and drank a magical milkshake sincerely)

    It feels a bit "Social Network", but the plot is not as smooth and catchy as the former. A rough understanding of how McDonald's grew from a small street shop to a business giant, really, ambition and persistence are the keys. In the end, Kroc is still very good at flirting with girls, and she has a grassland on her husband's head.
