McDonald's Fries Victory

A story about how a successful entrepreneur celebrated small wins during his early startup days in China.

"We lived on a dollar a day. McDonald's wasn't an everyday thing - it was our Christmas treat. For years, I remember saying 'Merry Christmas bro' and we would cheers our fries.

I used to eat half the fries and take it back and say 'Hey, there's only half the fries in here, you guys jipped me' and get a second serving of fries. That was our treat."

The entrepreneur shared this story in his first-ever podcast appearance, reflecting on his humble beginnings before becoming a billionaire. He told this story not as a brag, but as a genuine recollection of those early struggling days in China where even McDonald's fries were considered a luxury.
