The rapid development of society has given every inch of land in the world a very high value, and the saying "every inch of land is gold" is no longer an exaggerated description.
Wise businessmen always have a way to maximize profits, and the cost of the ground is high, so they run to the sky - so high-rise buildings are located in batches in every corner, and there will even be many developers and architects who deliberately put their hearts and minds on this high-rise building, striving to make it a beautiful landscape in the world's architecture.
For example, the "tallest building in China" built at a cost of 70 billion yuan has attracted much attention, but the ending is unsatisfactory.
Pan Sutong's business journey
In 1963, Pan Sutong was born in Shaoguan, Guangdong, when he was a child, he was pulled by his grandmother to grow up, only one old and one young life is naturally very difficult, but Pan Sutong has the care of his grandmother, but he does not feel sad.
It's just that the accident happened suddenly, Pan Sutong's grandmother died of illness, and he was lonely and helpless, and he could only be taken to live in the United States by other relatives.
Pan Sutong has never been interested in reading, for him, sitting on the bench listening to the teacher is as painful as being tortured, and the inability to understand English makes Pan Sutong even more reluctant to go to school.
But doing nothing at home all day long is not a solution, so Pan Sutong decided to return to China, and his family was afraid that he would not be able to support himself, so they found him a job driving for others.
This work has allowed Pan Sutong to get a stable income, but this life alone cannot satisfy his ambitions and ambitions, and business is the best way out for him.
Fortunately, Pan Sutong was hired to drive by a local official, because he was clever and diligent, and this official was very fond of Pan Sutong, and often gave him some powerful people.
Pan Sutong did not give up these opportunities, and while trying to establish a good relationship with these powerful people, he also asked for some useful information from them.
Hard work paid off, Pan Sutong unexpectedly met a senior manager from Panasonic Group in Japan, the two had a good conversation, Pan Sutong left a good impression on this senior executive, and gave him the opportunity to become a factory agent.
The work is undoubtedly hard, but to be able to learn experience and save the capital of entrepreneurship, Pan Sutong's work attitude is very serious, and always humbly seek advice, has been recognized by everyone. It wasn't until 1984 that Pan Sutong ushered in his first contract. The company's top management decided to put him in charge of Panasonic's sales market in Chinese mainland.
Business people can always seize the business opportunities that others can't grasp, Pan Sutong in the sales of Matsushita Electric in Japan, he also quietly opened a factory, this factory does not do anything else, mainly to imitate Panasonic's electrical appliances.
The quality of the product is not inferior to Panasonic, but the price is much cheaper than Panasonic. With the characteristics of low price and high quality, Pan Sutong has entered the Chinese market and become a dark horse in the electrical appliance market.
After 9 years of hard work, Pan Sutong's "Songri Group" was officially established. In the 21st century, the world has begun to study digital and electronic intelligence, Pan Sutong naturally also saw the bright prospects of this market, in 2002, Pan Sutong acquired a newly listed technology company, in the electronic product market for itself to open up a place.
Good wishes for the real estate industry
The real estate industry has always been special, and after a crash, it is bound to experience a surge. In 2008, Pan Sutong noticed changes in the real estate industry and felt that he had an opportunity to make a fortune in the industry.
And it turned out that Pan Sutong still has a very unique vision, and the real estate companies he has invested in and acquired have all made money, and this capital accumulation has also given him the opportunity to expand his own industry.
Pan Sutong's success in the business field has skyrocketed his value, and he has even been included in the Forbes rich list, ranking 365th. No one does not admire Pan Sutong's tortuous growth experience, the little driver became a business tycoon, and everything is not accidental.
Pan Sutong, who has achieved success in real estate, is obviously confident, so in 2008, he invested in a skyscraper of about 600 meters in Tianjin, with a cost of 70 billion yuan, named "117 Building".
"The tallest building" becomes an "unfinished project"
The height of the "117 Building" can be said to be the tallest building in China, and its height is second only to the "world's tallest building" Burj Khalifa; not only that, in order to build this building, Pan Sutong specially invited the internationally famous designer Li Huawu. It can be seen from this that Pan Sutong's expectations for the "117 Building" are so deep.
The "117 Building" has also caused a great sensation, everyone is looking forward to the appearance of the high-rise building after completion, and many businessmen have seen the bright prospects of the "117 Building", and have followed the investment in this project. Suddenly, Pan Sutong's worth rose rapidly.
The project was a good one, but it was not so difficult to build that it took four years for some of the workers to build the underground foundation, and until 2012, no one could see what the main body of the building really looked like. According to Li Huawu's idea, this building must have a unique Chinese style, and it is best to incorporate some ethnic style.
So Li Huawu decided to build the appearance of the 117-storey building into a rectangle, but from the sky overlooking a circle, which implies the theory of "the sky is round and the place is round" that we circulated in ancient times, and also means "reunion and harmony", which is very Chinese, and in order to meet the modern aesthetics, he also designed the top of the building to be diamond-shaped, making the building more luxurious and atmospheric.
By 2015, the building had completed 596.5 meters, and the long-awaited "117 Building" was about to be completed. However, there is always no definite number in life, one volt together, one advance and one retreat, which is a kung fu festival.
At this time, the stock price of Pan Sutong's real estate group suddenly plummeted, losing hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, which caught Pan Sutong off guard.
Although the building is already in the capping stage, the follow-up capital investment is not less than the previous stage, and Pan Sutong has no ability to continue to invest. In order to prevent the capital chain from breaking, he could only choose to stop investing in the "117 Building". Of course, it is also a common thing in the real estate industry to take over the unfinished building.
It's just that 15 years have passed since the start of construction, and no developer is willing to take over this project, so that the "117 Building", which once attracted much attention, has completely become an "unfinished building project", which can't help but make people sigh.
For this investment project, Pan Sutong must have also been hit, but there are always ups and downs in the business field, and a failure will not affect Pan Sutong's future life, not to mention that his business acumen is genuine.
