1) How did Pan be able to sell the house without getting the
necessary building permit in time?
2) How did he obtain financing for his 1992 intial development?
Did he get some inside help from his newly-wed
investment banker wife?
3) How did he navigate the treacherous waters of the
heavily-regulated real estate industry and solve these
problems that other small operators fail to overcome?
I don't think it's just the sales and promotion
skill that made the difference
between his success and others' failure. There must
be some near-death experience in their growth that the
reporter choose not to write.
