preface
Zhang Xin is the founder of SOHO China, a resolute female president.
As a Chinese entrepreneur, she was supposed to give back to the motherland after her success, but she didn't expect her to act as a white-eyed wolf.
Not only did he sit idly by during the epidemic, but he also donated the money he earned in Chinese mainland to United States.
It is said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, what is the outcome of Zhang Xin, who makes money by sucking the blood and sweat of Chinese people?
Assembly line employees started
Zhang Xin was born in an ordinary family in Beijing, and her parents were honest workers, and her economic situation was very ordinary.
Fortunately, when she was 14 years old, the mainland happened to usher in the spring breeze of reform and opening up.
At that time, anyone who had the ability and ambition would move their families to the developed coastal areas to fight for their future.
It was also at this time that Zhang Xin's family moved from Beijing to Hong Kong, thinking of starting a business from scratch and getting rich, but found that it was not so easy.
Due to the lack of any ability and network accumulation, Zhang Xin's family could only start from the lowest level of workers, and life was even more difficult than when they were in Beijing.
At that time, Zhang Xin was only 14 years old, so he dropped out of school and entered the factory to work, becoming one of thousands of workers.
The work of the electronics factory is day after day, and you only need to repeat simple actions every day, but fortunately, although you are tired and tired, the pay is good.
Zhang Xin is not very old, but she has always had a desire to "make money" in her bones.
During the days of working in the factory, she also realized that this kind of work was nothing more than eating "young rice", and once she was too old to keep up, she would draw water in a bamboo basket.
Therefore, Zhang Xin made up his mind to save money and go to distant United Kingdom to learn art.
After suffering day and night, Zhang Xin finally saved enough money to study in United Kingdom five years later.
During this period, she developed a strong interest in finance and took the initiative to work in investment banking after graduation.
We all know that overtime is common, but it is also a consensus to make more money.
Although Zhang Xin is a fledgling, she has a lot of energy, and she is tired of soaking in the workplace circle every day, and she will take the initiative to apply for tasks to do it, and constantly improve her business ability.
In Zhang Xin's view, although the work of investment banking is tiring, it brings her a strong sense of self-honor, and looking at the great future ahead of her, Zhang Xin's determination to struggle is even stronger.
Soon, Zhang Xin had the title of "Desperate San Lang" in the Wall Street financial circle.
Her strong business skills and flexible social skills were noticed by some high-level executives, and she was quickly recruited into a larger platform.
From an assembly line worker in an electronics factory in Hong Kong to an important leader of a Wall Street company, Zhang Xin's life has been completely turned around.
Just when everyone thought that Zhang Xin would take root in the United States, Zhang Xin resolutely chose to return to China, why is this?
Husbands and wives join forces
Zhang Xin chose to resign and return to China, not to suspend development, but to expand the business to China and start his own business as a boss.
In fact, after years of climbing on Wall Street, Zhang Xin has long known that it is not easy to start a business.
But when she faced these difficulties herself, she found that there were more troubles than she imagined.
Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Xin met her future husband Pan Shiyi.
Pan Shiyi, a native of Tianshui, Gansu Province, graduated from the China Petroleum Pipeline Institute and was assigned to work in the Ministry of Petroleum of the People's Republic of China.
Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi, who are not far apart in age, have the same ambition to start a business and get rich, and soon, the two became friends who talked about everything.
In this way, the relationship between the two continued to heat up, and after only knowing each other for 4 days, Zhang Xin decided to marry Pan Shiyi.
The combination of Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi perfectly interprets what it means to be a "strong alliance".
Soon after the two got married, they discussed the future direction of entrepreneurship together.
At that time, the reform and opening up were deepening and China's real estate industry was vibrant, so the two hit it off and soon entered the real estate industry.
In 1995, Zhang Xin and his wife founded Beijing Hongshi Industrial Co., Ltd.
At the beginning, the scale of the company was not large, but Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi were well versed in management, paid attention to quality, and were committed to building the company's brand.
In 1997, Zhang Xin's project "Commune at the Foot of the Great Wall" won the Grand Prix at the Venice Exhibition, which gave their company its first international visibility and a promising future for the future.
The couple seized the opportunity to change the company's name to "SOHO China".
In 2007, SOHO successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, raising US$1.9 billion, and at that time, some people estimated the company's market capitalization, and the annual profit was more than 1.6 billion.
You must know that it was about 10 years ago, and China's economic situation was still on the rise.
And Zhang Xin was only in her early forties at that time, and she was just halfway through her life.
However, just when everyone was full of respect for this female entrepreneur, Zhang Xin's series of operations were spurned by everyone!
Earn money from compatriots and raise gringos
Zhang Xin studied in the United Kingdom as an undergraduate, and later studied at the world-renowned University of Cambridge.
As we mentioned earlier, after graduating from Cambridge University, Zhang Xin came to work on Wall Street, and it was at this time that she had a strong pro-American ideology.
After returning to China to found SOHO China, Zhang Xin soon became a United States citizen and continued to transfer the property in her name to United States.
In 2014, a photo of Pan Shiyi and the head of Harvard University circulated all over the Internet.
I saw that Zhang Xin and his wife in the photo were dressed properly, obviously participating in some important place, and netizens found that it was Zhang Xin and his wife donating $15 million to Harvard University.

In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Xin set up a so-called "SOHO China Bursary" program.
The project said that in the future, it will donate $100 million in grants around the world to help poor Chinese students in the world's top universities.
100 million US dollars is converted, which is equivalent to about 600 million yuan, and Zhang Xin and his wife are big as soon as they make a move!

You must know that it was 2014, the mainland's education construction is still tight on funds, as native-born Chinese, Zhang Xin and his wife have emptied the pockets of their compatriots in the motherland and made money at home for foreigners to spend.
In the face of accusations from Chinese netizens, the couple was always perfunctory, saying with a smile that "it is for the good of the students studying abroad in United States".
But anyone with a discerning eye can see how ridiculous their arguments are, and they are clearly doing it for their own interests.
In fact, we are not angry that Zhang Xin and his wife want to donate money to United States, but we are angry that at the most critical juncture in China, Zhang Xin and his wife have not yet taken responsibility for the motherland and United States.
In 2020, the new crown epidemic swept strongly, in the most critical period of Wuhan, in the most difficult period of the people of the country, everyone expected that outstanding entrepreneurs like Zhang Xin and his wife could do something, but they pretended to be fools.
From beginning to end, we saw that Zhang Xin and his wife's response was only a Weibo repost, and the retweet was also simply accompanied by the text "Lingyun people, come on!" Come on Wuhan".
Anyone will shout such a false slogan.
As national entrepreneurs, Zhang Xin and his wife can obviously lend a helping hand, but they don't treat Chinese people as compatriots, and only want to do superficial work.
Not only that, in June 2020, when a mainland hero died on the border, so when the compatriots of the whole country were grieving together, Zhang Xin's son Pan Yue posted slanderous remarks on the Internet, causing resentment among all Chinese people on the Internet.
Also, if parents are like this, how can children be any better?
epilogue
As a lucky generation who has eaten the dividends of the times, Zhang Xin has the opportunity to change her life against the sky, and she ranks eighth in the Hurun Female Rich List with a net worth of 19.5 billion.
She should have enjoyed the praise of countless Chinese people, but she was spurned by the whole network because of her disregard for the Chinese people and her close pro-American behavior.
Today, Zhang Xin is too old to step down from SOHO China.
Her harm to the Chinese people also caused her to never be loved by the Chinese people, let alone want to gain a foothold in the country in her later years.
In China, Zhang Xin no longer has the status that everyone sought after before; In foreign countries, due to the degradation of capabilities and the hollowing out of power, Zhang Xin can only let the "back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves" and let competitors stand in an advantageous position.
Regarding Zhang Xin's recent news, some netizens said that they saw Zhang Xin change careers to make movies in United States, although the box office and impact of the movie were average, but she enjoyed it.
However, Zhang Xin is indeed rarely found by netizens to return to China for development.
After all, he has done all kinds of things that make the Chinese people feel cold, and it is impossible to continue to make money in China.
