McDonald

現在提起麦当劳恐怕是无人不知、无人不晓了。但是你可知道它的创始人莫里斯和理查德·麦克唐纳当初是为了实现明星梦才共赴加利福尼亚的吗？在他们梦想破灭后，二人才创办了麦当劳。虽然当时只供应三种食品：汉堡包、奶昔和炸薯片，但人们却趋之若骛。那么它又是怎样才发展到今天这个规模的呢？请看——

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.
