At nine o'clock in the evening, the MacDonald's house was brightly lit, and the family, despite their exhaustion, gathered together to discuss matters concerning the whole family

The MacDonald brothers, their wives, and their old father, Patrick, were driven back to their rooms, and for the second time this year, the five adults were so solemn.

The elder brother, Morris, made Evan's request public in a few words, and highlighted the identity of the governor's son.

"That's the way it is, Patrick, Dorothy (Richard's wife), Melissa (Maurice's wife), let's talk about it. ”

In MacDonald's family council, Morris is the chair speaker.

As soon as his words fell, while Patrick and the others were still sorting out their thoughts, his younger brother Richard couldn't wait to express his opinion: "Morris, does this still need to be discussed? You also heard it, he is ready to invest 500,000 US dollars, what a big deal this is." ”

"We used to boast that we wanted to make a million dollars before you were 50. Now, with his support, it may only take a few years for this dream to come true. ”

Richard was emotionally charged when he spoke, and his hands moved a lot.

He actually wanted to say these words when he was in the restaurant, but he was forced down by Morris.

If he could have made his own decision, he might have made an agreement with Evan on the spot.

Morris glanced at his brother and stopped talking. Unlike his younger brother, who was in favor, he was not interested in the investment that Evan had proposed.

Morris is conservative, and he is satisfied with the current size of the business, and has no incentive to expand further.

After all, he has a clear understanding of how much ability he has, and he has only been in high school, and he has no problem managing a store of 100 square meters, and he will have no bottom if he has more.

And if he accepts Evan's proposal, Morris feels that he may not necessarily have the ability to match the scale of his investment.

If you are incapable, you will be excluded and end up with no return.

And, truth be told, despite Evan's promises, Morris is even skeptical that the fast food model he two brothers have created can spread across the country.

Of course, the reason why Morris is so unconfident is only limited by his vision.

It is precisely because of this that McDonald's, the giant of the other world, has basically nothing to do with their brothers except for that name.

After Richard showed his attitude, he looked at Morris with burning eyes. The brothers started their own business quickly and worked hard together for nearly ten years, and no one knew each other better. Although Morris didn't say a word, Richard had already seen his attitude. He hoped to convince Morris with his analysis, but the poor language made his words not very convincing.

"Richard, I know what you're talking about. Morris stabilized his younger brother first, and turned his eyes to the other family members, "It is naturally a good thing to be able to make money, but there are also risks involved, so I want to hear your opinions first." ”

"Risk, what risk can this be?" asked Richard exclaimed.

The gray-haired Patrick interrupted, "Richard, be quiet. ”

"It's a meeting, not a fight. ”

Melissa glanced upstairs to make sure the children's room wasn't moving before retracting her gaze.

Richard quieted down, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm sorry. ”

Patrick looked at his youngest son, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "It's good to talk about disagreements if you have them, don't shout." ”

"Being loud doesn't mean it's right. ”

Morris is right when he says that any business is risky, and that is not an exception just because the other person is the governor's son. ”

Richard whispered, "So, you're against this business too?"

Patrick neither said yes nor no, but looked at his eldest son, "Morris, can you tell me what you think?"

Morris sighed and said, "Okay. ”

"Richard, as you have guessed in your heart, I am categorically against this. ”

"The reason for the opposition is, Richard, there is too much difference between the capital we have and the other side. We have governors as backers, and we're just two chefs who graduated from high school. ”

"There is no qualification for equal dialogue due to the vastness of capital, and I am worried...... At the end of the day, nothing was found. ”

"In addition, although our recent business is indeed very good, and the little Mr. Warren is also very high, no one can guarantee that our model will have such good results after it is promoted. ”

"So ......"

After Morris finished speaking, he looked at Richard with a calm look in his eyes.

Patrick asked, "Richard, do you think Morris makes sense?"

Richard nodded, "Of course there is. ”

"But, Patrick, Morris, I think it's more of a rare opportunity than a risk. ”

"Maurice, I'm 100 percent confident in our model. With it, our small store netted $50,000 in half a year, which you know better than I do. ”

"As for the other risks, Earl Warren has a good reputation, and his son should not be the kind of person who crosses the river and tears down the bridge......"

Morris said, "We don't know that. ”

Richard opened his mouth to say something, but eventually closed his mouth.

The scene was at an impasse for a moment.

After a while, Patrick asked Dorothy and Melissa, who were his wives, to share their opinions.

Dorothy supported her husband.

The same goes for Melissa.

It's still a draw.

There was no way, Patrick had to make a decisive opinion.

Under the watchful eyes of his two sons, Patrick said, "I support Richard in this matter. ”

Richard's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Morris was surprised and asked, "Why?"

Patrick explained, "The reason is simple, Morris, Richard is right when he says it. ”

"It's more of an opportunity than risk, an opportunity for McDonald to leapfrog the middle class and move up to the top. ”

"And if we miss that opportunity, we're going to lose even more in the future. ”

"You know, the business model you create can't be kept secret, as long as you watch carefully, anyone can learn it, and you can't stop it. ”

"I'm sure if that Mr. Warren really wanted to get into this business, he could easily replicate an identical fast food restaurant without you. ”

"So, in my opinion, we really have to accept this one option. ”

"Patrick, you're right. ”

Richard nodded vigorously, and then looked at his brother intently.

Morris pondered for a moment and sighed, "Yes, Patrick, you are right. ”

Richard said, "Morris, have you changed your mind?"

Morris said, "Yes. ”

"I have a suggestion, though. ”

Richard asked, "What?"

Morris said, "The shop around the corner I wanted to leave as a back road. ”

Richard thought about it, although doing so would further reduce the capital of the two brothers in the company, but Morris was right, there was a way out that would be safer.

"Okay, I agree with that. ”

Two days later, Evan met the MacDonald brothers again at the company's headquarters in Inglewood, Los Angeles.
