McDonald

王偉棟

現(xiàn)在提起麥當(dāng)勞恐怕是無人不知、無人不曉了。但是你可知道它的創(chuàng)始人莫里斯和理查德·麥克唐納當(dāng)初是為了實(shí)現(xiàn)明星夢才共赴加利福尼亞的嗎？在他們夢想破滅后，二人才創(chuàng)辦了麥當(dāng)勞。雖然當(dāng)時(shí)只供應(yīng)三種食品：漢堡包、奶昔和炸薯片，但人們卻趨之若騖。那么它又是怎樣才發(fā)展到今天這個(gè)規(guī)模的呢？請看——

Do you have a dream？ What do you want to do？ Maurice and Richard McDonald have a dream. They want to be movie stars. They go to California from the East Coast. But they cannot find jobs in the movies. They are very poor. They are very disappointed. They must do something to make money. They decide to open a restaurant in San Bernardino. They? want? to? try? something? new—a fast-

food restaurant. They borrow money and open a restaurant. They call the restaurant McDonalds. Hamburgers， milk shakes， and French fries are on the menu. Thats all. A restaurant with three things on the menu？ No one thinks it will work. But people love it. The food is simple， fast， and good. Soon， people wait in line outside the restaurant.

A salesman named Ray Kroc from Chicago cannot understand why the restaurant needs so many milk-shake machines. So he goes to California to see this restaurant. He is amazed that people wait outside the restaurant to get in. He tries the food. Its great. And the restaurant is so clean.

Kroc asks the brothers to open more restaurants like this. But the brothers say they have made enough money. Kroc tells the brothers they can make more money. He can open other McDonalds like this one. He will give them some money for these restaurants. The brothers agree.

It is 1955， Kroc opens two other McDo-

nalds. But people want more. Soon there are hundreds of McDonalds. The brothers have enough money. They sell McDonalds to Ray Kroc. He pays $2.5 million.

Kroc becomes very rich. And the brothers？ They are happy with their quiet life.
