1.The brothers were fine people, sincere and hard working. They were happy people who created a small but successful local business creating the best fast working system, but when it comes to Ray, he was ambitious. He saw an opportunity in the bothers’ industry and took advantage of it. He was selfish, but to the point that he betrayed the brothers and took the company from Him.
2.No, it was not the right choice to sell out to Ray mainly because while it seems like a good and fair deal, in the end, it was just not right. Although they took the 1.35 million dollars, the brothers still didn’t feel it was right because McDonald’s was their idea and was stolen from them. The worst part is that they had an agreement for royalties, some that were never received, and royalties worth 100 million per year.
3.The only reason the local franchisees were making money was that the system one of the brothers developed that he named “the Speedee system” would allow customers to have food in less than 30 seconds. Because of this system, they managed to sell food in the fastest way possible, making more customers come more to have a burger or fries.
4.When Ray was having trouble making money, he met Harry how told him how to make money using real estate. He would buy the land where one of the franchisees will establish and then charge a lease to that franchise.
5.It did not change my view. I think the only thing that the movie doesn’t change is McDonald’s essence. McDonald’s is still being McDonald’s. But it was interesting to know where McDonald’s was born and how it grew up.
