Features: The first revelation of Pan Shiyi's $4 billion annual sales, a classic case of ordinary people achieving wealth, and a book that inspires the primal survival instinct. Effective career planning, with hundreds of millionaires in sales sharing their personal stories—those who create millionaires often have more prestige than millionaires themselves. This book is based on real cases from SOHO China, telling a principle that can be summarized in eight words: "N" + "play to your instincts." These salespeople don't care about education, background, or age; they just need to unleash their primal instincts under the supervision of the system to accumulate wealth far beyond ordinary people in a short period. Through interviews with numerous salespeople, the book tells the stories of how they became salespeople and the hardships behind the scenes.
The "Survivor Game" is actually called the "Last One Standing System." The so-called "Last One Standing System" means evaluating every three months, eliminating one deputy director and their team each time, sending the deputy director back to sales, while the salespeople may be eliminated in the next round. Then, when the next season begins, everyone starts anew from zero to zero. But this seemingly tormenting system (and in fact, it does torment people) not only didn't drive everyone away, but instead created one peak after another in numbers—whether SOHO China's $4 billion annual sales or salespeople earning hundreds of thousands or even millions in salary. Meanwhile, those who remain stay with a sense of gratitude and an indescribable mix of good and bad struggles, savoring the cruelty of the "Last One Standing" and the inhuman pressure it brings.
The motivation that keeps them here, the motivation that drives them to work hard, is that those who are not eliminated—especially the champions—are rewarded with a "crown" of money. This is the beginning of the birth of millionaires? When Pan Shiyi designed this system six years ago, he may not have expected that the "Last One Standing System" would become such a crucial pillar in his career. His innate commercial sensitivity laid the foundation for future success; and the salespeople who personally experienced the "Last One Standing System" also never expected that this system would make them millionaires, changing their personalities and life destinies completely.
The system is simple—according to Pan Shiyi, there's only one standard: sales volume. But people are complex—human emotions, delicate feelings, and intricate thoughts. When a living, breathing human being with all their emotions adapts to a simple, rigid, and cold system, the collisions, conflicts, and struggles, as well as the beauty and ugliness of human nature, are all laid bare. Here, you are either the system's creator or someone who has survived the system and become a leader in the company. Their accounts not only give a deep understanding of the system's origins but also provide a different perspective from those who have emerged from the thorns. You will find that here, whether it's a company's development, the improvement of a system, or the maturity of an individual, it is all the result of coordinated development in the larger environment.
Undoubtedly, those who create millionaires often have more prestige than millionaires themselves.
