On May 11, Shennan Co., Ltd. issued an announcement of the resolution of the board meeting, and after the election of the directors attending the meeting, it was agreed that Zhou Haiyan would be the chairman of the fifth board of directors of the company for a term of three years. Zhou Haiyan, the daughter of Zhou Shiping, the former chairman, the controlling shareholder and the actual controller of the company, was born in 1992 and was not yet thirty years old when she served as chairman.
Zhou Haiyan is not alone, as China's listed private enterprises gradually enter a mature period, more and more listed companies have begun to pave the way for successors to take the helm of the enterprise. In the past May, there were three post-90s successors of A-share listed companies to serve as new chairmen, and so far, there have been 28 chairmen of post-90s A-share listed companies. The Yangcheng Evening News reporter combed and found that these post-90s chairmen generally have higher academic qualifications, and there have been a number of post-90s female chairmen.
Two post-90s female chairmen took up their posts last month
On April 27 this year, Shennan Announced that it received a written resignation report from Chairman Zhou Shiping, who applied for resignation as chairman of the company, legal representative, member of the strategy committee and member of the nomination committee for personal reasons, and no longer held any position in the company after resignation.

According to the data, Zhou Haiyan was born in 1992, graduated from Shenzhen University and Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, obtained a bachelor's degree in management and a master's degree in business administration, and has a board secretary qualification certificate.

However, Zhou Haiyan does not hold a stake in Shennan shares. As of the time of his resignation, Zhou Shiping directly held 16.99% of the company's shares, and through the concerted action of Red Ridge Holdings Limited, held 6.51% of the company's shares, holding a total of 23.50% of the company's shares, so Zhou Shiping is still the actual controller of the company.
Just one day before the announcement of Shennan Shares, on May 10, the post-90s female chairman of the listed company Gimpo Titanium also announced that she would take up her new post. Jinpu Titanium announced that on May 8, the board of directors elected Guo Yanjun as the chairman of the seventh board of directors of the company.

Guo Jindong requested to resign as chairman of the board of directors of the company and members of the strategic development committee and nomination committee under the board of directors due to unfulfilled court judgments and other reasons. Guo Jindong resigned as chairman of the board of directors because of his equity transfer dispute with Guo Jinlin, and was judged by the first and second instance to pay Guo Jinlin 310 million yuan for the equity transfer without execution. This matter is Guo Jindong's personal affairs, which have nothing to do with the company and its business operations, and he is still the actual controller of the company.
In addition, on May 17 this year, Yahuilong, who is engaged in in vitro diagnostic business, landed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, and the company's chairman Hu Huhui was born in 1991, which made the A-share market have another post-90s chairman.

Among them, Dai Sijue, who was elected as the chairman, was born in January 1995 and became the chairman of the A-share listed company at the age of 26.
A group of listed companies represented by the post-90s "second generation" are frequently appearing in the capital market and taking over the baton of their parents. According to the statistics of the iFind database of Flush, there are currently 28 listed companies in the A-share market who are post-90s, and most of them are the children of the founders. Among them, as many as 20 post-90s chairmen have taken office after 2019, more than 70%, which can be seen that listed companies have gradually entered the peak period of handover in the past two years.
From the perspective of tenure, most of these post-90s chairmen are the 2nd, 3rd or 4th chairman of listed companies, mainly from the hands of their parents, and their fathers have not completely withdrawn from the company's management, and many former chairmen as fathers are still the actual controllers of the company.
