Spending his birthday in prison at the age of 30, he shook hands with the person who sent him to prison after he was released.
At the age of 40, he became one of the most awe-inspiring figures in the real estate industry. Sunac, which he founded, has a pivotal position in China's real estate industry.

Who is he? He is Sun Hongbin. If you friends often pay attention to the information of the real estate industry, you have more or less heard of his name. There are many stories of his legend, the most interesting of which is the story of Sun Hongbin and Liu Chuanzhi, the former president of the old owner Lenovo.
- There was Bole, and then there was Maxima
Sun Hongbin was born in 1963 in Linyi County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province. He graduated from Wuhan Institute of Water Conservancy and Electric Power in 1981 and received a master's degree from Tsinghua University in 1985. Such a degree in that era, there is no doubt that it belongs to the rare talent in the workplace.
"There is Bole in the world, and then there is a Maxima."
If Sun Hongbin is a Maxima, then there is no doubt that Liu Chuanzhi is his Bole.
Liu
Liu Chuanzhi is the president of Lenovo Group. Since 1984, Lenovo has relied on Lenovo Hanka to rise from Zhongguancun and quickly develop into a company of considerable scale and reputation. However, it was also at this time that the crisis had reached its feet.
First of all, the computer technology has evolved, the Hanka market has shrunk, Liu Chuanzhi launched the Lenovo microcomputer, but the market acceptance is not too high; secondly, the entrepreneurial spirit has the precursor of fading, those entrepreneurial elders control various important positions, but lack the bloodiness of the decisive battle.
In order to solve this dilemma, Liu Chuanzhi believes that the company needs some fresh blood. So he recruited a group of young people, and he was even more determined to reuse a group of young people. Among these young people was Sun Hongbin.
Among the company's group of spirited young people, Sun Hongbin is a wooden figure who is not good at words, because he has a very thick Shanxi accent as soon as he opens his mouth, and he is even ridiculed. However, it is very solid to do things, and it is willing to die. You can do whatever it takes to achieve a goal.
Sun Hongbin
He was originally a very ordinary clerk in the sales department, but a few months later, he was promoted for his outstanding performance. In October 1989, Lenovo established the Enterprise Department, which was responsible for the national distribution of Hanka and microcomputer products, and the 20-year-old Sun Hongbin was appointed as the manager of the enterprise department.
Liu Chuanzhi has always wanted to weave a nationwide network of branches, but unfortunately, the previous gang of elders sat in Beijing all day, and this plan could not be realized. After Sun Hongbin took office, it took only two months with a group of enthusiastic young people to build 13 wholly-owned branches. By December, there was a backlog of the company's products, and these branches spilled out 10 million yuan of products like a flood, which suddenly relieved the pressure.
Liu Chuanzhi naturally admired this young man very much. Sun Hongbin's speech lacked logic, and his Shanxi accent was very heavy, so Liu Chuanzhi forced him to tell a story in his office every day. In terms of operation, Sun Hongbin has a great contradiction with the manager of the business department in charge of supply, who is an old qualified entrepreneurial elder and does not take Sun Hongbin as a small hairy child, so Liu Chuanzhi killed the killer, removed him, and then merged the two departments to Sun Hongbin to take care of.
At that time, Liu Chuanzhi had been supervising Hong Kong for a long time due to financing and import and export business, and the mainland market was all entrusted to Sun Hongbin's team. Judging from Liu Chuanzhi's attitude towards Sun Hongbin, he admires Sun Hongbin very much. It can be said that Sun Hongbin is regarded as Liu Chuanzhi's "big disciple", and even once there were rumors that Sun Hongbin would be the successor of Lenovo.
But in less than a year, Liu Chuanzhi sent his proud protégé to prison?
- Sun Hongbin created an absolute right to speak, and Liu Chuanzhi's position was shaken
It all started with a party, when Sun Hongbin took his 4 most intimate subordinates to a tavern. In the high talk, they believe that lenovo group is now occupied by a group of useless old people, young people who want to do something are always suppressed, Liu Chuanzhi hero is lonely, and there is a lack of talented people around, so Sun Zong needs to climb up and call to save Lenovo.
Everyone says that Sun Hongbin is a leader-type figure, not only intelligent but also wise, and others must think hard about his words in order to understand the true meaning. In this way, surrounded by a group of young people, Sun Hongbin also had the idea of establishing Sun's authority in the enterprise. He set a rule that the employees of the enterprise department were only responsible for Sun Hongbin.
Liu Chuanzhi once advocated the "big ship structure" in the group, requiring the company to be like a big ship, division of labor and cooperation, unified action. Sun Hongbin's interpretation of this is: "Lenovo is a big ship, the enterprise department is a small boat, Lenovo's big ship sank, and the small boat of the enterprise department floated up and became a big ship." ”

During this time, Sun Hongbin bypassed the personnel jurisdiction of the group president's office and privately transferred some people to be his confidants. He also set up his own cadre training plan and held special meetings to train new people, the main purpose of which was to express loyalty to Sun Hongbin himself. Such a message is very annoying to any boss, especially if this person is a subordinate he trusts very much.
Liu Chuanzhi immediately returned from Hong Kong to his headquarters in Beijing. After March 19, he held a meeting of cadres. At the meeting, he first affirmed Sun Hongbin's contribution, but then pointed out Sun Hongbin's "self-centered" "gang behavior", saying that he may become a "great talent that can be created" or a "dangerous person in the company".
What surprised Liu Chuanzhi was that as soon as he said this, several people below stood up and refuted it. "Mr. Liu, we are not a gang, you said we have a gang component, can you elaborate?" We are directly under the leadership of Sun Hongbin, and Sun Hongbin scolds us for loving to listen, what does this have to do with the president?" When one person finished speaking, another person followed, and when the order was chaotic, the meeting could not be sustained and came to an abrupt end.
Liu Chuanzhi realized that the problem in the enterprise department had become serious to this extent. But Liu Chuanzhi decided to give him another chance one last time. Liu Chuanzhi approached Sun Hongbin and asked Sun Hongbin to drive away the subordinates who had bumped into him, hoping to test the water. Sun Hongbin refused.
After a while, he explained, "If I dismiss them, where will my authority be in this department?" I can't take care of it, I can't do it. If they really have a problem, I'm sure I'll fire them. Then he said, "I don't have a bad opinion of them, you don't know them, and it's probably inappropriate for them to be expelled just by giving you some advice, right?" You think again. ”
At this moment, Liu Chuanzhi was disappointed. But the good villain Sun Hongbin was cultivated by himself with painstaking efforts, and also made a lot of contributions to Lenovo, Liu Chuanzhi could not bear to die. But soon, an incident occurred that Liu Chuanzhi had to make a decision immediately.
- After Liu Sun and Liu Sun broke up, Liu Chuanzhi personally sent the "eldest disciple" to prison
On the second day of Liu Sun's conversation, Sun Hongbin's enterprise department held a meeting at the Peking University Spoon Garden Restaurant. Hearing that the president was going to expel people, the subordinates were fiercely emotional and indignant, and Sun Hongbin was also very excited when he drank wine. Some people say that the money should be rolled up and left, and some people say that they should hurry up and become independent and transfer the payment away.
The news soon reached Liu Chuanzhi's ears. He summoned Sun Hongbin for the last time. Sun Hongbin's enterprise department office is located in Zhongguancun Avenue, in the same building as Sitong, in the past, everything was Liu Chuanzhi to the enterprise department, this time Liu Chuanzhi did not, but ordered Sun Hongbin to come to the old Lenovo office building on south road of the Academy of Sciences. The president's office is one-on-one between the two masters and apprentices.
Liu Chuanzhi was blunt, telling Sun Hongbin that he already knew about the spoon garden restaurant party. Sun Hongbin also admitted without concealment.
"But that's not my idea." Sun Hongbin said.
"I can't lead you anymore, so go it alone." Liu Chuanzhi said.
Liu Chuanzhi asked Sun Hongbin to pick a branch at random, and he could go to any one he wanted.
"No, I'll go." Sun Hongbin said.
On the afternoon of April 7, Liu Chuanzhi gathered all the personnel of the enterprise department to announce: the two people who were the most fierce in the "spoon garden attack", sealed the accounts of the branches under the enterprise department, and asked the public security bureau to protect the company's safety. Liu Chuanzhi personally served as the manager of the enterprise department, and Sun Hongbin immediately left his original post and went to the business department.

Liu Chuanzhi once again received a secret report, and someone in the enterprise department planned to "abscond with money" to remind Liu Chuanzhi to take precautions. Liu Chuanzhi has learned that the following branches led by Sun Hongbin hold at least 17 million yuan of funds, and if the "money and escape" thing really happens, it will definitely put the company in a huge financial crisis and credibility crisis.
Liu Chuanzhi reported the situation to the Security Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Obviously, this matter is no longer a dispute within the company, and there is a suspicion of violating criminal law, so Liu Chuanzhi reported the case to the public security bureau and the procuratorate. At the same time, more than 20 people were dispatched to various places to seal the accounts of the branches.
Early in the morning of May 28, 1990, Sun Hongbin was criminally detained by the Haidian police in Beijing. Formally arrested 10 days later, on the grounds of embezzlement. The public security investigation found that Sun Hongbin had transferred the company's funds to another company, and the amount was not small. Sun Hongbin argued that he had no intention of "turning public into private", and only because the company's financial system was rigid and the procedures were complicated, he had to leave a working capital in order to "use convenience" when doing business for the company.
It is true that the procuratorate did not find any evidence that Sun Hongbin had embezzled the money, but despite this, the unauthorized embezzlement of public funds has also constituted a legal problem. On August 22, 1992, after a long 27-month period at the Haidian Detention Center, Sun Hongbin received a criminal verdict from the court, sentencing him to five years in prison for embezzling 130,000 yuan of public funds.
- Liu Sun and Sun reconciled, and Sun Hongbin made a comeback and became a real estate giant
Four years later, on March 27, 1994, Sun Hongbin was released after completing his sentence, and he did not stay in Beijing after he came out, and returned to Tianjin on the same day. In prison, he thought about going out as a real estate agent in the future. It took a lot of trouble to get a license, but it didn't bother him. The company name was finally determined to be "Shunchi", and the harmonic pronunciation was "Sun's", which is also his own company in the true sense.
After he was released from prison, he contacted Liu Chuanzhi and expressed his desire to meet. Four years later, Liu Chuanzhi has not forgotten Sun Hongbin, and at a Sichuan restaurant on the roof of the New Century Hotel, Liu Chuanzhi met Sun Hongbin. No bodyguards, no self-defense preparations.
They hadn't seen each other for four years, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Sun Hongbin told Liu Chuanzhi that he was going to be a real estate agent, liu Chuanzhi asked Sun Hongbin plainly what advantages he had, and Sun Hongbin also said his thoughts plainly.
The wine broke something, and Sun Hongbin also expressed his remorse and touched Liu Chuanzhi's cup: I originally had a misunderstanding, if I didn't do that, it wouldn't be me. Sun Hongbin said that during his three years and ten months in prison, he thought about it every day, and now he has the opportunity to meet and talk about it. It sounds like an apology, and it sounds like a confession.
At the end of the end, Liu Chuanzhi said: "Hongbin, you remember what I said, in the future, you can say to others at any time, Liu Chuanzhi is your friend." If you need any help, I personally, including Mr. Li, including Mr. Zhang, we can all provide it, and we can also enter the point stock..."
Although Sun Hongbin strongly refused, Liu Chuanzhi still gave Sun Hongbin 500,000 yuan on behalf of Lenovo. Sun Hongbin with this money, to start from scratch, within a few years Sun Hongbin made a comeback, founded Sunac, in the real estate market opened sun Hongbin's own era.
