A good dad is better than a rich dad

Chapter 34 5 KFC starts a business, only with ability can it have a future

I went out to watch a movie with my child on the weekend, and it was time for dinner when I came back. The child said he wanted to eat KFC, so he took him in and found a quiet place to sit down.

"Without looking at anything, can you tell me what the KFC logo is?"

"It's a lovely grandpa!" The child answered happily.

"Yes, but do you know why he is a grandfather, not an uncle or uncle?"

"He must be very old to be famous." In fact, the grandfather of KFC is a very inspirational entrepreneurial story:
KFC's chain stores have spread over more than 80 countries. From the Great Wall of China, to the bustling downtown area of ​​Paris, the picturesque Sofia city center and sunny Puerto Rico, KFC can be seen with the symbol of "KFC". Everything stems from a man who never gave up on his dream——Colonel Sanders.

When Colonel Sanders retired from the U.S. military, his wife had left him with their young daughter, and he was the only one left at home. Too much time often made him feel long and lonely in life.So he always wondered in his heart: "How should I pass the time?" But Sanders, who has been a soldier all his life, can't think of any special skills for an old man like himself who is over sixty years old, except for being able to handle guns. develop.

At this moment, Sanders suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the secret fried chicken recipe he had tried out, so he found a restaurant to cooperate with: "My secret recipe is very special, and customers will definitely like it. of."

"I don't think we need to because we already have so many ways to cook chicken," the restaurateur said.Sanders found the next one: "Would you like to try my special recipe?"

"No, we're not interested in that."

Although he received cold reception again and again, Sanders was always full of confidence in his formula. He told himself: "It doesn't matter, every day is new. I believe that as long as we persevere, there will always be someone willing to accept it." Driving his old "classic car" to sell his special secret recipe.From the east coast to the west coast of the United States, it took more than two years, and after opening the doors of 1008 restaurants, it still failed to succeed.

At this point, the elderly Sanders was so frustrated that he thought of giving up, but he soon convinced himself to try again.When Sanders pushed open the door of the 1009th restaurant, the owner, struck by his spirit, said, "Let me try it."

Later, Sanders used the secret recipe as an investment to get a stake in the restaurant.Due to the successful operation, "KFC" soon spread all over the United States, and then spread all over the world at an alarming speed.

"As long as a person has a pursuit and a skill, earning money is actually an easy task for him. But many people often only see the goal of making money, but not the skills needed to make money. If Sang Colonel Des doesn't have a secret recipe for fried chicken, and even if he travels all over the world, he still can't form the KFC brand. Therefore, what we have to do now is to make ourselves unique."

"But Dad, I don't want to learn fried chicken."

"Of course, we don't need everyone to learn fried chicken. We can study something else. If you look at the people who are walking on the road now, we can tell their occupations, such as the real estate agent over there, The person who handed out the leaflets, the cashier in the restaurant, etc., they are all capable people."

"Well, as long as he has the ability, Dad will become a person like Grandpa KFC!" The child's words also made Dad speechless.When KFC was founded, Colonel Sanders was over 60 years old, but now how many fathers are content with their jobs and don't think about making progress!

Some fathers feel that they have not been famous for most of their lives, and it seems that there is no hope.In fact, the story of KFC is also written for Dad. Anyone who wants to start a business, as long as he has a skill, it will never be too late.It is better to let the children witness the miracle of KFC.
