Vanke'S New Board Of Directors Released A Smooth Transition Of Ownership Structure

Three years are flying away. Wang Shi's retirement seems to be still yesterday, but Vanke's board is changing.

2020 is Vanke 36th anniversary. It was also the second year when the founder Wang Shi withdrew and Shenzhen steel became the largest shareholder.

In the past weekend, Vanke announced the list of candidates for the nineteenth session of the board of directors, no accident, Vanke management and major shareholders of Shenzhen railway have three seats, plus four independent directors and an external director, the overall balance of the 11 personality Bureau.

Behind the balance sheet of the board is the stability of ownership structure. During the past three years, shareholders who had stirred up trouble had withdrawn from Vanke. After the Evergrande, Ampang (insurance) and Bao energy department also gradually withdrew. The latest holdings are less than 3%, and Vanke's ownership structure has reached a historic stability. 28.68% Ranking the largest shareholder, similar to the Huarun of the year, but the ratio is much higher than Huarun, close to 30%, greatly reducing the "barbarian" re invasion possibility.

This is conducive to the development of Vanke business. 3 years ago, Wang Shi said at Vanke shareholders' meeting that Vanke would enter a golden period of development with the resolution of equity disputes. Now, as the industry enters the downlink cycle and meets the epidemic black swan, Vanke still maintains a steady growth momentum, providing a case model for the balance between the shareholders and management of listed companies.

Change is not surprising

In 2020, more than half of the board of directors of Vanke also ushered in a new round of changes.

On the night of May 15th, Vanke issued a notice announcing the list of candidates for the new board of directors.

Among them, the largest shareholder in Shenzhen railway is Shenzhen Metro chairman Xin Jie, general manager Tang Shaojie, deputy general manager Li Qiang Qiang; Vanke management side is chairman of the board of directors Yu Liang, President Zhu Jiusheng, executive vice president Wang Haiwu.

Before the continuation of the balance, Shenzhen Metro and Vanke management occupy three seats each.

Today, the list of candidates has been announced, and three people have been filled in the Shenzhen railway. At the same time, they have been transferred to the new management of the Shenzhen Metro. Lin Maode, the former chairman of the Shenzhen metro, has also stepped down from office, and has taken over from Xin Jie.

In March, Vanke's personnel changes had laid a groundwork for this. Wang Wenjin and Zhang Xu no longer served as executive vice presidents. Wang Wenjin continued to be responsible for the headquarters management center, while Zhang Xu moved to logistics and overseas businesses.

The replacement of two people is two young people, namely Han Huihua, the chief financial officer and executive vice president Wang Haiwu.

Yu Liang said, "partnership inheritance" is Vanke's long-standing tradition of employing people. Vanke fosters generation after generation of young people to take the heavy responsibility, while the reusing outstanding performance generals are also the Vanke's consistent way of employing people.

In addition, there are four independent directors of the Vanke board. They are Liu Shuwei, Kang Dian, Wu Jianing, Fu Chengyu, Fu Chengyu, former chairman of the China Petroleum and chemical industry group, replacing former Qianhai Efficient Finance Holding Ltd chairman Li Qiang.

As before, the outside director of this seat still comes from Shenzhen state owned enterprises.
