Recently, some media reported that Ren Zeping and Soochow Securities (601555.SH) are actually non-editorial cooperation.
According to the information on the official website of the China Securities Association, as of January 19, Ren Zeping's filing information has not been updated since he left and cancelled from Founder Securities on December 13, 2017, and there is no registration information in Soochow Securities, which means that Ren Zeping may not be a formal employee of Soochow Securities.
At the same time, when the Beijing Youth Daily reporter asked Ren Zeping as an investor whether he was an employee of Soochow Securities, the secretary of the board of directors of Soochow Securities said: "I don't know on my side", and then said that this problem was reported to the leader and then given a unified reply to the public.
In April last year, Soochow Securities held a lecture with the theme of "Soochow Securities and Wu Xiaobo Channel Signing Ceremony and Ren Zeping's First Macro Strategy Report Meeting", which is considered to be the beginning of Ren Zeping's participation in Soochow Securities. Since then, in many of the activities that Ren Zeping has participated in, he has participated in the title of chief economist specially invited by Soochow Securities.
In response to the speculation that Ren Zeping is "non-editorial cooperation", the Financial Associated Press reported that Soochow Securities responded that Ren Zeping is a special chief economist of Soochow Securities and has securities investment consulting (analyst) qualifications. The services provided by Ren Zeping to Soochow Securities, including speeches at strategic meetings held by the Institute and institutional exchanges organized by the Institute, are subject to compliance review by the Soochow Securities Research Institute, and the views expressed by Ren Zeping as an independent scholar do not represent the position of the institutions he serves.
In June 2016, Ren Zeping, former chief macro analyst of Guotai Junan (601211.SH), officially joined Founder Securities as chief economist of Founder Securities (601901.SH) and managing director of Founder Securities Research Institute.
In November 2017, Ren Zeping, chief economist of Founder Securities, proposed to leave his post. In December 2017, Ren Zeping was appointed as the chief economist (vice president level) of Evergrande Group (03333) and the president of Evergrande Economic Research Institute. In March 2021, the news that Ren Zeping left Evergrande to join Soochow Securities and serve as chief economist was widely reported.
On the evening of January 12, Ren Zeping's Weibo post showed that "the user is currently in a state of silence due to violations of relevant laws and regulations." Ren Zeping's WeChat public account "Zeping Macro" released on January 10, "The Solution to Low Fertility Found - China Fertility Report" and the January 11 "Some Responses to the "Encouraging Fertility Fund"" two articles have been shown as "this content can not be viewed due to violations".
