They are no other than the husband, Pan Shiyi (潘石屹), and wife, Zhang Xin (张欣), the property estate tycoons. Theirs is a love story of rag-to-riches.

On April 1994, Jia Xu year, Pan Shiyi met Zhang Xin through mutual friends. At the time, Pan Shiyi was one of the co-founder of Beijing Vantone Co. Ltd and already made his first million while Zhang Xin was working in Goldman Sachs.

The Chen-You combo formed metal a Friend Star shows a marriage that is based on friendship rather than love which he purportedly mentioned in CRIEnglish.com.

It was this Xu-Mao combo that had made him depart from the company that his co-founded in August 1991 (Xin Wei). If you look at his Bazi Chart, Hai-Mao-Wei was combo that forms wood. The Xin Metal in the Year Stem reveals that the company was formed through friends-partnership.

Zhang Xin's Bazi Chart shows a Shen Monkey (Friend Star) and Si Snake (7 Killing Star) combo that form Water, her Output Star. This indicated a partnership in her life.

In April 1994, the wealth element was more apparent appearing on the Stem. This was an indication that she enter into the marriage with a calculated thought and money on the mind. The Chen-Shen was half-combo of water, indicated it was an emotional decision as well. The Hai-Pig clashed showed her living of Goldman Sachs and later on to form a business partnership with her husband.

In 1995, Yi Hai year, both of them co-founded the company called Hongshi, later renamed to SOHO China in 2002. The starting of the SOHO China is not an easy one. There is a punishment of Hai Pig of the Annual Branch and Month Branch of Pan Shiyi's Bazi Chart, while the Hai Pig formed a half-combo of water element with Shen Monkey, an indication of emotional issues (too much of metal and Water elements result in emotional complication). It also put a strained into the marriage life.

Nevertheless, the company has jump started them to billionaire status.

However, their partnership does work-out successfully whether in business or in thier marriage. If you look at both of their Day Masters, they complement each other well. He (Xin Metal) has take-on the sales which Zhang Xin, her wife described that he is brilliant salesman. Xin Metal with hurting officer is very much suited in sales and marketing field. The China Central Television or CCTV, the most famous television network in China, has described Pan Shiyi as "the most eye-catching real estate developer, though he is not the richest". He has been described by many as a "tireless self-promoter". His wife (Geng Metal) has taken-on the construction work which is suitable for her as Geng Metal person can endure hardship with their hard-working nature.

The missing Wei Goat, and earth element is replaced by the construction company (hence, completion of Hai-Mao-Wei combination). While Zhang Xin's Bazi Chart has a Shen-Si combo that formed water, her output element. As their marriage and business are based on friendship, therefore the Mao Rabbit (Indirect wealth) represents Pan Shiyi's wife Star while the Si Snake (7 Killing) is her Husband Star.

Both of the Bazi Charts indicate their life have cross path and now moving on together. You can call this meeting of a soul mate or in Chinese "Yuan 缘" though it may not base on love.
