Features: When the real estate market in Hainan was booming, two numbers made Pan Shiyi break out in a cold sweat; Beijing's per capita housing space is 7 square meters, while Haikou's reported construction area per capita housing is 50 square meters. In Pan Shiyi's view, this only points to one issue—the real estate market in Hainan has 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 what others believe is an impossible task into reality." Pan Shiyi's rise from poverty to becoming a billionaire sounds like a classic "American Dream," but in reality, it is a genuine "domestic myth" in the process of China's economic development. To others, Pan Shiyi's success might seem like "luck," but to those around him, the legend behind his success lies in his diligence and strategy. Pan Shiyi: Never Do What Most People Do presents a comprehensive and profound portrayal of the success path of a renowned private entrepreneur through the perspective and experiences of his former chief assistant, exposing the inner workings of real estate marketing and providing many references and learning materials for those aspiring to success.
