You don't seem to realize what business you're in You're not in the burger business you're in the real estate business You don't build an empire Off a 1.4 percent cut of a 15 cent hamburger You build it by owning the land upon which that burger is cooked What you ought to be doing is buying up plots of land then turning around and leasing said plots to Franchisees who as a condition of their deal should be permitted to lease from you and you alone This will provide you with two things one a steady upfront revenue stream money flows in before the first stake is in the ground to greater capital for expansion Which in turn fuels further land acquisition which in turn feels further expansion and so on and so on Land That's where the money is and more than that control Control over the franchisee fail to uphold quality standards.

你似乎沒有意識到你在做什麼生意 你不是在做漢堡生意，你是在做房地產生意 你不能靠從一個15美分的漢堡包中分得1.你應該做的是購買地皮，然後把地皮租給加盟商 作為交易條件，他們應該被允許向你租賃，而且只能向你租賃 這將為你提供兩樣東西穩定的預付收入流 在第一根木樁入土之前，就有資金流入，為擴張提供更多資金，這反過來又促進了進一步的土地收購，而土地收購又反過來促進了進一步的擴張，如此等等，土地就是錢的來源，而更重要的是控制權，控制加盟商不能堅持質量標準。
