Features: He earned the Hong Kong local Zhang British Actuarial License in just three years, breaking the "Pan Shenchang Barrier" that remains unbroken to this day. In five thousand days, he created a sales miracle of over 30 billion yuan in premiums and established Taiwan's largest foreign-funded insurance company. After the devastating 921 Earthquake that shook Taiwan, the Hong Kong-born Pan Shenchang devoted himself to adopting earthquake orphans. After years of struggle, his painstakingly built company was acquired, which he described as "the most interesting moment in his life." Pan Shenchang is sometimes called a "restless general manager" or a "creative vending machine that doesn't require coins." Others describe him as "brave enough to do what others dare not" or "unconventional." His long-time subordinates compare him to Genghis Khan. Amidst the intertwined risks and opportunities, while others see shadows of risk and hesitate, Pan Shenchang always spots the sparkle of opportunity and takes bold strides forward. This book tells how a company developed in an unconventional way and how, as the company's CEO, he used unconventional ideas and methods to handle problems. Management is both a science and an art. After reading Mr. Pan's book, readers will surely gain a fresh appreciation of this statement.
