The story behind McDonald's

Jayne 2021-11-23 08:01:12

The film tells the story of the McDonald’s brand founder Ray Krock from a man to middle-aged life without success, from a smoothie mixer salesman who listens to successful lectures every day to build McDonald’s into one of the world’s largest catering empires from a neutral perspective. One entrepreneurial story.
It is said that the film is neutral because the film does not portray Ray Klock as an inspirational model who has been struggling to succeed, but rather objectively describes how he discovered the potential of McDonald’s from the Mike and Dick brothers and took it step by step. The experience of building your own business empire. In order to fully control the booming business, the film does not hesitate to use disgraceful means to kick off the modern fast food process and the McDonald’s brand founders Mike and Dick brothers, dominate the McDonald’s brand, and do not shy away from the love of the new and the old after the success of the business. Abandoned his wife who had always supported his career, and got married (married the wife of his subordinates).
From a commercial point of view, Ray may be a successful figure, making McDonald's a symbol of American culture, and providing food for one percent of the world's people every day. Ray is indeed indispensable. But from the perspective of being a human being, Lei Ke is a complete scumbag. From the initial dedication to the Mike brothers who discovered the fast food mode, to the ruthless "dumping" of these honest and conservative brothers, in Lei’s words, the business war is so cruel. When your opponent falls into the water, I will plug the water pipe. Into his throat. Perhaps as this movie reveals, shopping malls are really not suitable for kind people to survive. Of course, from a movie perspective, this crisp biopic is still very interesting.

    "I have to admit that all business becomes a real estate game in the end." I turned my head and said to K. Fortunately, this is not a long advertisement of the Golden Arches, but a blackened business book. The story is told with restraint, and the great thing about it is that the music portrays the psychological activities of the characters quite accurately. (Well, I didn't expect this to be the first movie I watched in 2018.

The Founder quotes

  • Mac McDonald: [Giving Kroc his first tour of McDonald's] Speed. That's the name of the game. The first stop for every McDonald's hamburger is the grill. Manned by two cooks, whose sole job it is to cook those all-beef beauties to perfection. Meanwhile, as the patty cooks, our dressers get the buns ready. Watch out. Burger crossing!

    McDonald's Employees: Burger crossing!

    Mac McDonald: Every McDonald's burger has two pickles, a pinch of onions, and a precise shot of ketchup and mustard.

    Ray Kroc: [Points to the ketchup and mustard despensers] Now, where did you get those?

    Mac McDonald: We made them.

    Ray Kroc: Made them?

    Mac McDonald: Yes, custom-built. The whole kitchen is. Next, this is the finishing station where we put the whole thing together. And...

    [Leads Ray to the end of the line, holding up a wrapped hamburger]

    Mac McDonald: Voila! A fresh, delicious burger from grill to counter in 30 seconds.

  • Mac McDonald: This is not your company, Ray!
