Galaxy\u2019s investment banking revenue, however, only ranked 30th last year while CICC was third on the ranking.<\/p>\n<p>An internal memo issued by CIC and seen by Reuters said the parent planned to appoint Wang to a top job at a directly run subsidiary, but did not name the firm. The proposed appointment was open to internal review between July 2 and July 8. <\/p>\n<p>The proposed nomination would also help the 45-year-old low-profile Wang strengthen his credentials and leadership capabilities, said four of the people. <\/p>\n<p>CICC, the country\u2019s oldest investment bank, is currently run by 58-year-old CEO Huang Zhaohui, who is Wang\u2019s predecessor as head of investment banking. <\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s official retirement age for most men is 60.<\/p>\n<p>As Galaxy Chairman Chen Gongyan reached the retirement age last month, current CEO Chen Liang has been appointed as the broker\u2019s party chief. It is a common practice at state-owned firms that party chief wears the hat of chairman of company board.<\/p>\n<p>CICC declined to comment. Responding via a company spokesperson, Wang also declined to comment. Galaxy and CIC did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>According to an official biography, Wang has been CICC\u2019s head of investment banking since 2020. During his two decades at CICC, Wang has risen through the ranks and become one of the bank\u2019s top dealmakers. <\/p>\n<p>He has played a crucial role in helping many large Chinese enterprises including Alibaba, China Tower and CGN Power Co Ltd raise capital at home and overseas.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Selena Li and Julie Zhu; Editing by Sumeet Chatterjee, Kim Coghill, Uttaresh.V and Sherry Jacob-Phillips)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/cicc-investment-banking-head\/2020-china-international-fair-for-trade-in-services-ciftis-in\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6B0AH-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI6B0AH-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Selena Li and Julie Zhu HONG KONG (Reuters) -Wang Sheng, investment banking head of China International Capital Corp Ltd (CICC), is set to leave the bank to take over<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1549557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1549557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1549557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1549557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1549557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
