Features: When the real estate market in Hainan was booming like wildfire, two numbers made Pan Shiyi break out in a cold sweat; Beijing's per capita housing space was 7 square meters, while Haikou's reported construction area per capita was 50 square meters. In Pan Shiyi's view, this only pointed to one issue—the real estate market in Hainan had gone wrong. Pan Shiyi once said, "When I was riding a bicycle, someone said the road was too far and that I couldn't possibly reach the destination on a bike. But after walking for a while and switching to a car, I arrived before dark. When I drove into their village, they said there were no mountains ahead and that I couldn't pass. Yet, I still moved forward and reached the mountain in time to switch to a plane. Only by being unconventional and not following the crowd can you turn an impossible task into a reality. Pan Shiyi's rise from extreme poverty to becoming a billionaire sounds like a classic 'American Dream,' but in reality, it's a genuine 'domestic myth' in China's economic development process. To others, Pan Shiyi's success might seem like 'luck,' but to those around him, the legend behind his achievements lies in his diligence and strategy. Pan Shiyi: Never Being the Majority presents a comprehensive and profound portrayal of the success of a renowned private entrepreneur from the perspective and experiences of his former executive assistant, exposing the inner workings of real estate marketing and providing valuable lessons for those aspiring to success.
