Hard Childhood 1890, Harland Sanders, the founder of KFC, was born on a farm near Henriville, Indiana, USA. My family is not very rich, but I can get by. However, when he was six years old, his father died. /kloc-when he was 0/2 years old, his mother remarried, and Sanders and his stepfather didn't get along very well. He didn't want to study until the sixth grade, so Sandoz decided to work. Since then, he has changed countless jobs and tried everything. He worked as a painter, a fireman, sold insurance and served as a soldier. At the age of 40, Saunders came to Kentucky and opened a Corbin gas station. At the same time, he cooked some daily meals in the small kitchen of the gas station to attract customers. During this period, Sandoz launched its own special food, which is the prototype of the world-famous KFC fried chicken. But when expressway was built after the war, his hotel was also demolished. In order to pay his debts, he even used up his bank savings. Suddenly, Saunders became a poor man. At this time, Sandoz is 66 years old, and all he can rely on is his monthly relief of $65,438 +005. After the failure of 1009, Sandoz started his second venture. He took a pressure cooker and a bucket of 50 pounds of ingredients and drove his old Ford on the road. BlackBowKnot, dressed in a white suit and dressed as a southern gentleman, stopped at the door of every restaurant from Kentucky to Ohio, peddling the secret recipe of fried chicken and demanding to perform fried chicken for the boss and the clerk. At first, no one believed him, and the restaurant owner even thought it was a waste of time to listen to this strange old man's nonsense. Many people laughed at him to his face: "Come on, old man, if you have such a good secret recipe, why are you still wearing such ridiculous white clothes?" Sandoz's propaganda work is very difficult. Two years, rejected 1009 times. Finally, when he walked into a restaurant for the first time 10 10, he got a "ok" answer. With one person, there will be a second person. At the insistence of Sandoz, his idea was finally accepted by more and more people. Laohe Mijian 1952, the first authorized KFC restaurant in Salt Lake City was established, which is the beginning of global catering joining. In just five years, he has developed 400 chain stores in the United States and Canada. 197 1 year, with the consent of Sandoz, Brown and Mersel sold this promising business to Huberling Company. At this time, KFC's annual turnover has exceeded $200 million. Although KFC's business has changed hands several times since then, the franchise mode has not changed.
