She will no longer perform the duties of president and will not serve as the proposed executive director. It is noteworthy that Jiang Lin's tenure at YIBIN BANK lasted only two years. In September 2023, recommended by the Yibin municipal government, Jiang Lin resigned from her position as deputy general manager of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Wuliangye) and moved to YIBIN BANK, becoming a member and deputy secretary of the party committee. Since being appointed as president by the board of directors of YIBIN BANK on June 4 of this year until her resignation, it has been less than five months, and her qualifications as president have not been publicly approved by regulatory authorities. On the same day, the board of directors of YIBIN BANK quickly reviewed and approved the appointment of Guo Hua, who has work experience at China Construction Bank and Sichuan Bank, as president and nominated him as an executive director. If his qualifications are approved, Guo Hua will partner with Chairman Xue Feng, who also has a background in China Construction Bank, to lead this newly listed bank in its continued development. ## **Proposed President Resigns Suddenly** Information shows that YIBIN BANK was established based on the urban credit cooperative in Yibin City and officially commenced operations on December 28, 2006, with a registered capital of 3.9 billion yuan, making it the second-largest city commercial bank in Sichuan Province by registered capital, with total assets expected to reach 109.2 billion yuan by the end of 2024. On January 13, 2025, YIBIN BANK was officially listed on the Hong Kong stock market, achieving its "100 billion listing" goal a year ahead of schedule, becoming the third listed bank in Sichuan Province. Shortly after YIBIN BANK went public, changes occurred in its executive team. In April 2025, former president Yang Xingwang resigned from all positions, including executive director and president, due to personal health reasons. After Yang's resignation, YIBIN BANK turned its attention to Jiang Lin, who had been "parachuted" from Wuliangye to YIBIN BANK for less than two years. On the evening of June 4, YIBIN BANK announced that its board of directors had approved the appointment of Jiang Lin as president and also recommended her as an executive director. According to the arrangement, before her official qualifications were approved by the regulatory authorities, Jiang Lin would perform the duties of president, with a term not exceeding six months. Resume information shows that Jiang Lin was born in April 1979 and holds a doctoral degree in political economics from Sichuan University. She began working in July 2004 and initially worked in the research office of the Chongqing municipal government and the policy research office of the Chengdu municipal committee. In August 2011, she served as deputy director of the economic department of the Chengdu municipal committee's policy research office. Since 2012, Jiang Lin transitioned to the financial sector, serving as deputy director and then director of the capital markets department of the Chengdu Financial Work Office. In October 2016, she became a director and general manager of the Tianfu International Fund Town and concurrently served as deputy general manager of Wanchuang Investment Holdings Chengdu Co., Ltd. In January 2019, Jiang Lin experienced another career turning point by joining Wuliangye Group, where she served as a member of the party committee, deputy general manager, and director, and from March 2022, she also served as the secretary of the Wuliangye board of directors During this period, she also served as a director and party branch secretary of Wuliangye Group Finance Co., Ltd., chairman of Sichuan United Liquor Exchange Co., Ltd., and director of Sichuan Bank, and was selected as a "Yibin Financial Elite" in the 2021 Yibin Talent Program. In September 2023, the Yibin Municipal Government's sixth session of the Standing Committee decided to nominate the removal of Jiang Lin from her positions as deputy general manager and director of Wuliangye, and recommended her as the deputy president and director of Yibin Bank. For Yibin Bank, which aims to "strive for listing in 2023 and ensure listing by 2025," this was a crucial year to accelerate the establishment of a hundred billion listed bank. However, according to public information, Jiang Lin did not later assume the position of deputy president. According to Yibin Bank's disclosure, starting from April 2024, Jiang Lin's position at Yibin Bank is a member of the Party Committee and deputy secretary. From public information, if her qualifications for the president position are approved smoothly, Jiang Lin is expected to become the youngest female president among currently listed banks. However, until Jiang Lin's resignation, regulatory authorities had not publicly disclosed the approval information for her qualifications as president. ## **The New Candidate Has Experience in Both State-owned Large Banks and City Commercial Banks** At the same time as announcing Jiang Lin's resignation, Yibin Bank quickly finalized the new president candidate. On October 30, the board of directors of Yibin Bank reviewed and approved the appointment of Guo Hua as the president of the bank, while also recommending Guo Hua as the executive director of the bank. Resume information shows that Guo Hua is 53 years old this year and has long been deeply involved in the financial system within Sichuan Province, possessing rich management experience in the banking industry. From December 2009 to April 2022, he served as vice president of branches in Bazhong, Dazhou, and Panzhihua of China Construction Bank, and held positions such as deputy general manager of the personal finance department and deputy general manager of the corporate business department at the Sichuan Provincial Branch of China Construction Bank, accumulating deep expertise in retail finance, corporate business, and branch management. After working at China Construction Bank for over 13 years, in April 2022, Guo Hua joined the provincial city commercial bank Sichuan Bank, serving as deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Panzhihua branch, and became the president of that branch in June of the same year. From April 2024, he served as the Party Secretary and president of the Panzhihua branch of Sichuan Bank, fully presiding over branch operations, until he was nominated as president of Yibin Bank in October 2025. It is worth mentioning that the current chairman of Yibin Bank, Xue Feng, also has a background in China Construction Bank. According to Yibin Bank's announcement, Guo Hua's qualifications for the position of president still need to be approved by the national financial regulatory authority. The board of directors agreed that, prior to this, Guo Hua would act as president, with a term not exceeding the regulatory time limit from the date of the board's approval. Recently, Yibin Bank has maintained steady growth in its operations. Financial reports show that in the first half of 2025, the bank achieved total operating income of 1.168 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.3%; net profit reached 291 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.1%.
