"The logic of the financial industry has never stopped evolving. The only constant is the persistent demand for professional judgment and systematic insight." In his office located in the heart of Nanshan, Shenzhen, Wang Zhen speaks in a calm yet resolute tone. As the General Manager of Shenzhen Branch of Jinyuan Tongyi Securities, Wang's vision extends far beyond the boundaries of a single branch. He has long been dedicated to the integration of finance and investment analysis, economic trend research, and data modeling. Within the industry, he has promoted the development of a practical, intelligent decision-support system—particularly valuable in today's capital environment marked by both transformation and turbulence.

Since 2017, Wang Zhen has been on the front lines of financial services. He began as Marketing Director and Head of a Sales Department at Huafu Securities Shenzhen Branch, and later joined Bohai Securities Shenzhen Branch in 2021 as Deputy General Manager, overseeing integrated management, team building, and key project execution. In April 2023, he was appointed General Manager of Jinyuan Tongyi Securities Shenzhen Branch, where he now leads overall business development and strategic upgrades. Over nearly a decade of management experience, Wang has not only witnessed the transformation of China's securities industry but also played a pivotal role in driving systemic innovation at critical junctures.

"The logic of the industry is changing, client needs are evolving, and service models must be updated accordingly," Wang notes. In the past, securities firms relied heavily on labor-intensive sales and advisory services. Today, data-driven approaches have become the new fulcrum. He gives an example: "In Shenzhen, many high-net-worth clients are no longer satisfied with generic products. Instead, they seek cross-industry, multi-layered, and more predictive asset allocation advice." In response, Wang led the development and deployment of a software tool called the "Huitou Quantitative and Multi-Dimensional Investment Decision Support System." This system integrates historical data, user preferences, and industry trends to provide intelligent portfolio recommendations and risk alerts, helping clients improve the stability of their returns.

Moreover, since 2020, Wang has spearheaded the design and implementation of six intelligent financial systems, including the "Quantitative Strategy Investment Trend Forecasting System" and the "Panoramic Economic Indicator Identification Platform." These systems focus on areas such as macroeconomic trend identification, industry linkage analysis, and corporate valuation and financial modeling. When asked whether these systems have achieved commercial application, Wang candidly replied, "We don't do ‘PowerPoint tech.' We've already entered into licensing agreements with Shenzhen Duration Information Technology and Zhuhai Haodong Fund Management. Both partners have reported significant improvements in internal decision-making efficiency."

"Fintech must go beyond concepts and connect with real business scenarios to solve practical problems," Wang emphasizes. His systems thinking is not confined to internal R&D but is deeply embedded in the strategic operations of the branch. Since becoming General Manager in 2023, he has proposed a "Tools + Talent + Data" trinity strategy, optimizing the client service model.

When it comes to management experience, Wang prefers a "begin with the end in mind" approach. "For example, talent structure should be designed to support future business needs, not just to fill current gaps." He encourages team members to participate in model building and system operations, helping frontline staff better understand the underlying logic while enhancing organizational synergy. Throughout the interview, he repeatedly emphasized "cultivating problem-solving capabilities" over single-metric performance evaluations.

Wang's career also reflects a "cross-cycle" growth trajectory. He earned his bachelor's degree in International Accounting from East China Jiaotong University, laying a solid foundation in financial analysis. From 2021 to 2023, he pursued a master's degree in management at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), where he systematically studied strategic management, data modeling, and fintech applications. "Returning to the foundational structure of knowledge helps me better understand why and how the industry is changing," he explains.

At the end of the interview, Wang showed the reporter a flowchart for an upcoming new project. "We're developing a cross-institutional risk modeling collaboration platform that uses feedback from multiple partner institutions to optimize the model," he said. "This will be a key focus in the next phase."

"The second half of the financial industry belongs to those who can understand complex systems and distill simple decision-making paths from them," Wang concludes.

Perhaps this is Wang Zhen's most unique value—he is both a practitioner in financial services and a decoder of data logic and industry trends. More importantly, he is a "system builder" steadily advancing deep structural optimization in the intelligent development of China's securities industry.
