Hello There!!
Yeah, you heard me right. It's you who made him a millionaire. You, me and every one of us. This is the true-life story of a person whose life changed with a single idea. The very same idea which all of us are familiar with. Let me tell you the story and try guessing what could that idea be.
The story happens in the latter half of the 18th Century. An old country doctor drove to town and quietly slipped into a drugstore by the backdoor. The young drug store clerk was there and they talked for almost an hour about something serious.
Once the conversation was over, the doctor went back to his buggy and brought back an old fashioned kettle. The clerk examined the kettle all over and finally reached into his pocket and took out a roll which contained exactly 500$. All of his entire life's savings!!. He handed over the roll to the doctor and in exchange, the doctor gave him a piece of paper in which some secret ingredients formulae was written. Those magic words were essential to start the kettle to boiling!!
They Both seemed happy. The doctor was glad that all his debts can be paid back with the money he lately received. And the clerk was so sure about investing all his savings in a doctors formulae. Neither the doctor nor the clerk knew what incredible fortune was about to flow from that kettle.
Here in this 21st century, this old kettle is one of the world's largest consumers of sugar and thus providing jobs to thousands of individuals.
Old kettle consumes millions of glass bottles a year which in turn heavily benefits the glass manufacturing industry.
Old kettle helps thousands of employees and employers who work in the fields of marketing, advertisement, banks and whatnot.
Old kettle became an integral part of almost all gatherings, meetups and ceremonies. Everyone was delighted to drink and enjoy it.
Yeah, you got it!! The drink in that old kettle has got a well-known name then. “Coca-Cola” and the drug clerk was Asa Candler who is the founder and developer of Coca-Cola company. The doctor who sold the life-changing formula for 500$ was John Stith.
The hard work, imagination and determination of Candler made the old kettle a world-renowned business. The company claims the very precious formula is the worlds most well guarded secret and is kept in a purpose-built vault in its headquarters.
Hope you enjoyed the write-up.
Thanks for your time😊
