Two sets of shots that resonate

As a biographical film, it is certain to be beautified, but it is also his success to resonate.

At the beginning of the movie, Kroc faced various rejections by himself, and pretended that everything was fine with his wife on the phone. My job is also between approval and rejection, so I can understand the pain of rejection after hard work, and also understand the helplessness of putting on a smile mask to face the next client after being hit. At this time, what we need is not unnutritious and empty comfort, but need to be able to really help us in our career. It can be a suggestion or a business opportunity. The two Crockers actually laid the groundwork for divorce from this call. Of course we can say that having money makes men scumbags, but two people who are making progress and the other are stagnating, are there really no problems? Women will find men who work hard to be very attractive, and men who think they can cooperate with them in their careers are more attractive. The echo of this point is the call between Crocker and Joan in the middle of the night. Although it is not ambiguous, it is doomed to end.

Crocker's excitement and all the passion when he met the McDonald brothers for the second time, I think many people have experienced it. I also often experience this kind of excitement, but most of the time I get only failure. The most important thing is the lack of analysis of the point that triggers my excitement. There are more decisions made by brains than scientific ones, and in the end, I naturally fail. Echoing this scene is the sentence that Dick asked Crocker at the end of the movie, why don’t you make a brand yourself? In fact, I think the name of McDonald’s is on one hand, and on the other hand, it is really necessary for Dick to be so strict and persistent in the early days. In order to gradually get McDonald’s on the right track. In the end, the duel between Crocker and McDonald’s brothers was not a decisive battle in the management mechanism of the restaurant. In this regard, the McDonald’s brothers did not do badly. The problem came out of the times to create real estate prosperity, and the McDonald’s brothers eventually fell under the real estate economy. . Therefore, one of the final achievements of McDonald's is the internal management mechanism of the restaurant. This Kroc has gained the essence in the cooperation with the McDonald's brothers, and the other is the core of real estate promotion. This Kroc is the first step and the last laugh.
