SOHO is actually SOHO China, a real estate development company, mainly aimed at people who pay attention to the quality of life. The leaders behind SOHO China are mainly Pan Shiyi and his wife Zhang Xin, who are long-term guests of China Hurun Report! Pan Shiyi is also the most concerned and controversial tycoon. Pan Shiyi, a "patriot", was satirized by Liu for donating $600 million, transferring assets and gaining fame and fortune.
Pan Shiyi is not from a rich family, but his family history is really "inspiring". Now Pan Shiyi's net worth even exceeds Huawei's Zheng Fei. Both Pan Shiyi and Ren are business leaders with great business acumen, but their styles are completely different. Ren is known for his hard work and takes the route of hard technology and hard strength. And Pan Shiyi is famous as "marketing guru", taking the hot search and hype route.
Pan Shiyi is a well-known real estate packer in the real estate industry. By packaging real estate, commercial gimmicks, creating hot events and so on. He used the communication power of social platforms such as Weibo to spread the marketing of real estate projects and made great achievements. From then on, he also got on the helicopter to get rich.
After becoming a rich man, Pan Shiyi, like other business tycoons, did some public welfare undertakings, but his public welfare undertakings were not recognized and accepted by the public. Why is this?
The most direct reason is that during the epidemic, Pan Shiyi donated nearly 600 million assets to the United States, and supporting the epidemic in China was just a slogan in the Weibo, and it was even suspected of being hot. But the reason for everyone's aversion is definitely not so superficial, mainly Pan Shiyi's long-term behavior.
In 2005, Pan Shiyi transferred all his shares under the name of SOHO China to his wife, Zhang Xin, who has American citizenship. Originally, SOHO China was a China enterprise. After Pan Shiyi's operation, it has completely become a foreign-funded enterprise. Isn't this a disguised transfer of assets that harms national interests?
Secondly, Pan Shiyi treated China and the United States differently in this epidemic. Pan Shiyi's son, Pan Rui, expressed his views socially at a meeting, thus clearly refusing to provide financial support for the China epidemic. As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused the public anger of netizens. Everyone transferred gunpowder from Pan Rui to Pan Shiyi and his wife Zhang Xin. As the saying goes, if you don't want to contribute, keep a low profile. Entrepreneurs are responsible for the country and society, such as Huawei. Especially in the incident, Ren would rather sacrifice his personal interests than safeguard national dignity and technical security.
In this contrast, Pan Shiyi's behavior of making money at home and investing abroad is simply too much. Pan Shiyi, whose heart is in the United States in China, donated $600 million during the epidemic, which was satirized by Liu.
And Pan Shiyi's so-called contribution to public welfare events is even less likely to be recognized by everyone. Because Pan Shiyi's contribution to public welfare is to donate $6,543,805 and $6,543,800 to Harvard University and Yale University respectively, do you think this can make people angry?
What makes people most angry is Pan Shiyi's explanation of donating money to Harvard University and Yale University. He said that he invested in famous foreign universities in order to enable outstanding poor international students in China to get academic support and continue to receive a good education, and he also founded the SOHO Scholarship.
But people don't believe him. The first person to stand up and satirize him was the founder Liu. As a real self-made man, Liu can't listen to his nonsense. Liu said that truly poor children are very short of educational resources. How can they go abroad to attend a prestigious school like Harvard if they want to stay in North China? He also said that he knew the purpose of Pan Shiyi's move. After that, Pan Shiyi quickly interrupted Liu, and there was laughter at the scene. Shortly after Pan Shiyi donated money, his two sons were admitted to Harvard University and Yale University respectively. Therefore, what you say about helping poor international students is obviously covering up your selfishness!
It seems that Pan Shiyi is really a business tycoon who is alone in China and bent on the United States! It really makes people a little angry and sorry! Fortunately, today's China is getting stronger and stronger. Even when the epidemic was so difficult, we were not knocked down by the epidemic because we couldn't get help!
China is becoming stronger and stronger. Many people are proud to be born in China, and many foreign friends want to integrate into China! Because China's current business environment is undoubtedly in the forefront of the world. I wonder if Pan Shiyi, a business tycoon with his heart abroad, will regret it in the future.
