Like Zheng Zhiying, the current chairman of Handan Bank, President Liu Gang's time in the company can also be traced back to before the restructuring, and the two are also senior figures. Next, the operator finance network will try to demystify him.

Many executives in the banking industry are accustomed to showing off their rich resumes, but Liu Gang is not one of them. His personal style should be quite low-key, with little information about him; in recent years, Liu Gang has only occasionally represented the company in signing ceremonies, field trips and other activities for major projects, in addition to rarely appearing in public.

However, according to the available information, Liu Gang served as the deputy general manager of Handan City Credit Union Co., Ltd., and the Handan Credit Union was only officially opened in October 1996, so he should have joined at the beginning of its establishment.

Before that, Liu Gang had also been working in Handan City, but he had not yet started banking-related business. In the early years, he was in charge of budget work in the financial department of Handan City, and he also worked as a section-level cadre, when Liu Gang was still very young and his future was bright.

After that, he was also in charge of the budget of agriculture, Hebei's economy at that time was not too developed, and since ancient times it was one of the important grain producing areas in China, agriculture was still a relatively top industry in that era, and Liu Gang, who was the director of the department, naturally had to bother a lot.

After being transferred from the Agricultural Department to the Budget Department, Liu Gang's career path went one step further, and he was promoted to a deputy county-level cadre in Guantao County, Handan City, and this work experience greatly tested his organizational and coordination ability, and naturally there was a lot of improvement in the concept of the overall situation.

At this point, Liu Gang's working career in government organs and units is basically coming to an end. At this time, he was in the golden age of life, his work experience accumulated a lot, his ability was not bad, and he was naturally favored by the leaders, who sent him to the newly established Handan City Credit Union Co., Ltd., where he has worked so far.

From the county to the city, the work units have not only changed, but the responsibilities are completely inconsistent. Liu Gang was initially assigned to serve as the vice president of the Handan Credit Union, and it was not long before the Handan Credit Union began to reform and became a Handan City Commercial Bank in 2008, and Liu Gang, who was familiar with the business, was promoted to vice president of the bank around 2012.

At the end of 2016, the relevant departments officially approved Liu Gang's application to serve as the president of Handan Bank, and in recent years, he and Chairman Zheng Zhiying visited and investigated some local enterprises, villages and counties in Hebei, and Handan Bank also had some actions on the "bank-enterprise alliance", and the development was relatively stable.

However, there is a problem that needs to be solved urgently by Executives such as Liu Gang. It is reported that Handan Bank's capital replenishment method has always been relatively single, there is very little external financing, and it has recently issued an open-ended capital bond for the first time, and the 1.5 billion yuan raised will be used to supplement tier 1 capital. How to better enhance the capital structure of banks still needs to be thought out by Liu Gang and others.
