十二年来，因为工作，我和孙坚先生有许多次的交流和探讨，人们“传说”中的孙坚总裁其实很随和、讲规矩和多才多艺。他是学医的，后来在国际连锁超市企业做得风生水起，当然，人总是在变道中成长的。现如今，大家都在“时髦”地左右跨界，然而，孙坚总裁十多年前就从连锁商业跨界到酒店经营管理行业，而且震动不小。
2004-2006年，因海口市委书记王富玉调离海南到贵州任省委副书记，文昌市委书记谢明中被抓，我们总投资35亿的“热带中国海岸”这个重点项目从海口挪到文昌并搁浅，当年我“比较无奈”地放下海南热带海岸投资公司执行董事兼总裁的重担，被朋友鼓动到北京重操旧业“卖文为生”，投资设立国际传媒公司并创办《全球酒店》杂志等，许多好友和兄弟姐妹都积极给予我无私的帮助及资助，孙坚兄也不例外，那年我告别海南的“花园洋房”睡在北京办公室打拼所谓的事业，我几乎每天工作在十几个小时以上。2006年的某一天，孙坚兄很诚恳地对我说:“我们企业很规范，不好意思，我这个总裁权限只能批3万元给你，抓紧办吧，也算是对你们的一点点支持......”后来，这钱就走了五六个签字程序很快就到了我们北京传媒公司帐上。钱虽然不多，但给了我们创业团队一股“雄关漫道真如铁”的热血暖流，比那些个说千句漂亮话的“好事者”强上一万倍！
2008年，我在上海创办世界酒店联盟、传媒集团公司、世界酒店论坛和《世界酒店》杂志、世界酒店网等，孙坚兄依然热心地介绍他的多位好友，以及上海的沈南鹏兄弟出来支持我的工作。他浙江朋友楼勇箭董事长那年前后支持了我几十万元人民币，而且还为我们购置捐赠了一台新款别克商务车，使我们在2008年全球经济危机中得到了缓解并渡过了难关，我也就是在他们的精神鼓励和资金支持下2008年底勇敢地在经济危机中把两位“无力回天”的大股东的股权全部收购了。当年，全球的经济危机引发行业经济大萧条，我能转战上海滩再次“光耀登台”，和兄弟们的热心力挺是密不可分的，可见世道中真的“情比金坚”！
孙坚总裁2008年底曾经轻轻地讲了一句:“我看什么时候我们结合下，帮帮你们”。2009年大年初二，我俩在通电话互相拜年问候时，他突然说:“军林，我们在二月份一起搞一个论坛峰会吧”。他建议了一个日期，并说，我只能支持你们八万元，我现在只有这个权限，我们集团安排全国的五六十位大区总经理来参会，其他的筹办费用你们自己想办法解决，举办地你定。我听他说定的那个时间，一看日历只有二十几天了，而且还是在正月里，压力不小，满打满算有效工作时间只有半个多月。我没有任何犹豫，当即明确表示没问题，开干！于是乎，我和海南特区的张会发会长找到海口市政府刘庆声市长，找到海口市旅游局龙卫东局长（现为海口市副市长），后来，我又找到当年海航酒店集团董事长胡建华，又找到海航集团陈峰主席，并恳请海口市政府、海航集团和我们（包括“如家酒店集团”）一起共同在海口主办“世界酒店品牌投资合作峰会”。半个多月的筹备和打拼，有来自国内外300多嘉宾的“行业峰会”居然取得了喜人的成功，而且还得到海口市政府的20万补助资金和多方面的大力支持，也得到了当年国家旅游局吴文学副局长、海口市政府主要领导和海航集团董事局主席陈峰先生的莅临指导。
如果没有孙坚兄的建议和率先支持，我们不可能在这么短的时间里使“峰会”取得了圆满成功！他在工作中给了我许多良好的建议和指导，而且他很有耐心，思维极其敏捷。我记得，我们多次在他上海不大的办公室中谈事情和探讨问题时都是白开水一杯。我俩在上海第一次见面是在上海锦江饭店，当年锦江酒店集团杨卫民总裁亲自安排招待我，孙坚这位当年已经很“牛逼”的总裁自己却“极其低调地”开了辆白色小POLO车来，更没有带司机和秘书。那天见了他之后，我就开始有些厌烦社会上比较普遍的“张狂和浮躁”。回首往事时我突然发觉，十几年来，我没有给孙坚兄送过一分钱和一份像样的礼物，而且几次都是他请我吃饭，也许，这就是所谓的“君子之交”吧。2018年初，快过大年了，他上任首旅如家酒店集团后特别忙，他第一次以首旅如家酒店集团总裁身份到北京国际饭店工作的前一天给我电话说一起见个面并请我吃饭，我心生感动！但是，这次我是抢着把几百元的小单给买了。
我和孙坚总裁有过多次的座谈与交流，在他身上我学习了不少东西，比如:国际化思维，跨界创想，以及在企业管理和用人方面都学到不少。特别是在民族情怀、中国品牌打造、资本运营等等方面，他让我感触到了许多边缘学识和交叉思维，从而在做人和办企业方面也影响我逐步去“克己修为”。“静水流深，行胜于言”，这就是孙坚兄长期以来具有的良好品质。
孙坚总裁年长于我，他有如兄长一样总是在默默地理解和支持我。我们有时几个月不见，时不时通个电话聊上几分钟。我们俩平时都天南海北的比较忙，然而，我们都在努力上进，都在努力为一个行业和自己的祖国做一点点有益的工作。
孙坚兄由国际商业连锁企业到如家酒店集团创业到担任首旅如家酒店集团总裁，他的这样一个发展路径足以证明，他为中国民族企业品牌的创立和“打磨”付出了太多心血劳作，同样，国家对他这样的“孙坚们”也都给予充分的肯定。人生苦短，转眼间就是十几年过去了，这十几年的光荣岁月中，孙坚总裁其实为中国旅游酒店业在国际社会上“长脸”不少！目前，他还兼任如家酒店集团董事长和总裁，“如家”这个中国最大的经济型酒店集团早就进入世界百强酒店集团前十名了！新的首旅如家酒店集团在国家主管部门和首旅集团的正确领导下，在孙坚总裁及其团队的努力下，已然逐步迈向一个崭新高地。
去年底，在祝贺孙坚获任中国旅游饭店业协会副会长的电话中，我再次听到他的言语，我们踏踏实实地把每天的事做好，坚持自我系统规划，不要被热闹忽悠，本色最好。
几句话看似简单平常，然而，谁又能在当下的纷繁嘈杂中如此淡然和宠辱不惊呢？
让我们再次回望一眼，孙坚就是这样一位好总裁好朋友好兄弟……
2018.6.21
I conducted numerous exchanges with Sun Jian in the past 12 years for work. The president of Sun Jian is actually very easy-going, well-behaved and versatile person He was a student of medicine, then later turned his attention to the chain retail trade of internationally, and he made it. Of course, people’s development need an opportunity. Nowadays,everyone is fashionably thinking about cross-border business. However, more than a decade ago, president Sun Jian has done it from the chain retail to hotel industry.
From 2004 to 2006, Wang Fuyu, Haikou party secretary, was transferred from Hainan to Guizhou as deputy secretary and Xie Mingzhong, the secretary of the Wenchang city, was arrested, resulting in slow progress of the project of “Tropical China Coast” with 3.5 billion project costs , and even led to the project is shelved. So, I had to quit the job of executive director and president of Hainan Tropical Coast Investment Company and was back in the old job to write for livings in Beijing encouraged by my friends. I established an international media company and initiated “World Hotel” magazine, etc with a lot of selfless help and support from my friends. So did Sun Jian. That year, I slept in the Beijing office not any more Hainan Garden House to work for more than ten hours a day. One day in 2006, Sun Jianxiong said to me very sincerely: “Our company is standardized, I am sorry for only giving 30,000 yuan to you, which can be counted a little support for you ...” Not a lot of money, but enough for me.
In 2008, I founded World Hotel Association, Media company, World Hotel Forum, World Hotel Magazine, and World Hotel website in Shanghai. Sun Jian enthusiastically introduced many of his friends include Shen Nanpeng to support me. Lou Yongjian, His friend supported me several hundred thousand, even donated a new Buick commercial vehicle for our business, which helped us overcome difficulties of global economic crisis of 2008. At the end of 2008, I bravely bought all the shares of the two big shareholders who were “helpless” in the economic crisis with their spiritual encouragement and financial support. I can’t made it in Shanghai without them.
At the end of 2008, President Sun Jian said : “ It’s time we join together and then I can help you.” On the second day of Chinese New Year of 2009, he suddenly said: “Junglin, we can held a forum or summit in February.”when the two of us were greeting each other on the phone. With the date he proposed and 80,000 yuan he gave, what I can do is preparation right now with about 15 days of preparation. I immediately turned to Liu Qingsheng, the mayor of Haikou, and Long Weidong (Former director of Tourism Bureau, now deputy mayor of Haikou) for seeking help with Zhang Huifa, the President of Hainan Special Economic Zone. Later, I looked for Hu Jianhua, president of HNA Hospitality Group, Chen Feng, Chairman of HNA Hospitality Group. And Haikou Municipal Government, HNA Hospitality Group (Home Inns Hotel Group) all invited to jointly host the summit of “World Hotel Brand Investment Cooperation” in Haikou with us. Over half a month of preparations and efforts, the “industry summit” with more than 300 guests from home and abroad achieved great success, and receiving 200,000 support funds and other support from the Haikou municipal government. Wu Wenxue, The deputy director of the National Tourism Administration, the main leader of the Haikou Municipal Government and Chen Feng, the chairman of HNA Hospitality Group also came and offered some guidance.
We could not have made the summit a complete success in such a short time without the advice and support of brother Sun Jian.He gave me a lot of good advice and guidance about work, and he was very patient and quick in thinking.I remember that many times we talked and discussed something in his small office in Shanghai with a glass of water.We met in Shanghai Jinjiang hotel firstly, the presiden Yang Wei-min made arrangements for us personally. Mr. Sun, a famous president is "extremely low" run a small white POLO car, even through didn't have a driver and a secretary. After seeing him that day, I began to get a little tired of "wild and impetuous" in society. Looking back, I suddenly found that, for decades, I didn't give Sun, my brother a penny and a decent gift, but he invited me to eat meal several times. Perhaps, this is the so-called "gentleman". In early 2018, almost lunar New Year, he invited me again when it is the period he took office Beijing capital tourism home inns hotel group,to be the president of home inns hotel group identity to work in Beijing international hotel, very busy. My heart was moved! This time, however, I rushed to buy a small order for several hundred yuan.
Sun Jian and I have made many discussion and the communication, I learned a lot, such as: international thinking, cross-border components, as well as in enterprise management and have learned a lot of skills about choose and employ persons. Especially in the ethnic feelings, Chinese brands, capital operation, etc, he let me touch to the brink of many knowledge and thinking, thus has affect my life and business to behave good step by step.
Sun Jian is older than me. Like an old brother, he always understands and supports me in silence. Sometimes we don't see each other for months, and sometimes we talk on the phone for a few minutes. We are both busy in our daily life. However, we are working hard to do some useful work for the industry and our own country.
Sun Jian start from international commercial chain enterprises venture to home inns hotel group as Beijing capital tourism group, home inns hotel, he's such a development path is enough to prove that, he has done a lot for China's national enterprise brand establishment and "polished" .People like Sun Jian also get recognition from country. Life is short, in these ten glorious years, Sun Jian has actually earned "a face" for China's tourism and hotel industry in the international community. At present, he is also the chairman and president of home inns group. Home inns, China's largest budget hotel group, has long been among the top 10 hotels in the world.Under the correct leadership of the competent departments of the state and the group, the new first travel hotel group, Home inns hotel group, has gradually moved to a new height with the efforts of Sun Jian and his team.
Last year, in the congratulations phone of Sun Jian was appointed China tourism hotel industry association, vice President , I heard his words once again, we are builders of do every thing well, insist on self system planning, don't be noisy, nature is the best.
A few words may seem simple and ordinary, but who can be so indifferent and spoiled in the current cacophony?
Let us look back again, Sun Jian is such a good president, good friend and good brother.
