After 90, I was heated by my wife’s monthly salary of 80,000, and I was suspended from investigation!

Half a year ago, Xiao Hongshu, the chief analyst of a non-bank brokerage firm, paid his salary, which caused heated public opinion, so that in the middle of this year, the China Securities Association issued a special document requesting the securities industry to establish a stable salary system.

However, on July 28 th, there was another brokerage salary incident in Xiaohongshu.

On the evening of July 28th, a screenshot related to "The monthly income of post-90s brokerage traders exceeded 80,000" went viral on social platforms. Related screenshots show that some bloggers have exposed their spouses’ income level and their photos in Xiaohongshu, accompanied by the income certificate of "monthly income of 82,500 yuan" issued by CICC.

At the same time, the circulated photos also include a photo taken with her husband in Yintai, Hangzhou, with the caption "Every day loved by my traders".

However, her behavior has also been discussed by netizens. In the comment area, someone sweated for the blogger and her husband, a brokerage trader, and kindly reminded that "brokers are forbidden to disclose the salary level". She replied: It seems that listed companies will disclose the salary of employees in their annual reports, and slightly spit out: "Isn’t his salary not up to per capita?"

According to Cailian, the follow-up of Xiaohongshu blogger "Strength Pit Man" is that the incident has attracted the attention of the company.According to CICC, the employee is currently being suspended for investigation.


The CSRC has made it clear that the salary management guidelines are not salary limits.
In fact, in recent years, the topic of compensation of securities firms will be speculated at least twice.
In January of this year, also in Xiaohongshu, a blogger named "Ingird" showed his income from January to November 2021, which was 2,246,700, and the declared tax amount totaled 623,200. Later, it was revealed that the blogger of Little Red Book was a non-bank analyst named Lu in Zhongtai Securities. Although the parties denied it, the incident triggered a heated discussion in the industry.
According to the data of the financial terminal of Eastern Fortune Choice, there is a huge gap between the incomes of securities practitioners, but most of them are undoubtedly the high-paying classes in their places. In 2021, the average annual salary of CICC employees ranked first with 1,164,200 yuan, followed by CITIC Securities with an average annual salary of 945,900 yuan, and Huatai with an average annual salary of 885,700 yuan.
Based on the above-mentioned traders’ monthly salary of 82,500 yuan, their annual salary is 990,000 yuan, slightly lower than the company’s per capita.
After arousing heated public opinion, on May 13th this year, China Securities Association issued "Guidelines for Establishing a Steady Compensation System for Securities Companies" (hereinafter referred to as "Guidelines"), which will come into force as of the date of promulgation. The guidelines clearly require that, when formulating the salary system, securities companies should formulate a stable salary scheme in combination with the characteristics of the industry, fully consider the impact of market cycle fluctuations and the development trend of the industry and the company’s business, moderately smooth the salary payment arrangement, and at the same time do a good job in extreme control and rhythm control of salary incentives.
Some brokerage compliance people said that at present, there is no explicit provision in the industry to require the family members or spouses of brokers to get paid, but for the brokerage employees themselves, many brokers have indeed announced relevant rules orally or explicitly this year to prevent showing off their wealth.
In January this year, a "code of conduct" from the fixed income financing department of a brokerage attracted attention. The code clearly regulates the behavior of "luxury goods use, manners, publicity and life style", and prohibits employees from "showing off their wealth" in many ways. Including "it is not allowed to drive a luxury car (more than 1 million), wear a high-end watch (more than 150,000) and use a high-end bag (more than 50,000) in the working environment" and other requirements, so as to avoid showing off wealth, high-profile behavior and other negative effects on the company and even the whole industry.
Although some brokers have not made explicit provisions for employees to show off their wealth, the top management of the company has repeatedly stressed on many occasions that the phenomenon of showing off their wealth should be put an end to. In addition, the top management of each line basically verbally explained and admonished their respective teams.
In addition, in order to prevent the delay, the practice of some state-owned enterprises or state-owned enterprise background brokers is to start from the construction of family style, requiring employees, especially the management, to do a good job in family style construction. Including the requirement to put family style construction in an important position, honesty and self-cultivation., clean and tidy,While managing yourself well, we should strictly ask our spouses, children and staff around us to set an example for cultivating a good family style.

It is worth mentioning that in June this year, the CSRC made a special statement on compensation issues such as brokerage funds. The CSRC pointed out that the salary system is an important part of corporate governance, and building a scientific and reasonable salary system is the basis for maintaining the core competitiveness of the industry and maintaining the stable and sustainable development of the industry. In recent years, global regulatory authorities have paid more attention to the salary incentive system, in order to prevent financial risks caused by excessive speculation and excessive incentives. However, the salary management guidelines issued by the Securities Industry Association and the Fund Industry Association respectively do not set salary limits, nor do they involve total salary and specific operation methods. The CSRC fully respects the autonomy of institutional decision-making.

On July 26th, a broker in North China told national business daily via WeChat, "The Guidelines put forward higher requirements for the work of brokers in this field. We have improved the company’s system and management mechanism according to the requirements of the Guidelines, and improved the level of reputation risk prevention in all aspects of business management. In recent years, due to the frequent negative public opinion caused by employees’ personal words and deeds, we have also taken the problems of our peers as a warning to strengthen internal training. "

However, it is worth mentioning that the brokerage employees are bound by the company’s reputation risk system, and this little red book blogger is only the family members of the brokerage employees. So what responsibility should this husband bear in the face of this situation?

A brokerage official told reporters that the company system can only restrain its own employees. "Generally speaking, companies issue income certificates to employees, which are used to handle credit cards or mortgage loans. It is not surprising that employees’ families see this document. However, if the company has relevant regulations on reputation risk, the employee should at least have the responsibility to prevent the documents from being spread online, so it cannot be said to be completely innocent. "

National business daily reporter wanted to communicate with CICC on this matter, but as of press time, he didn’t get a reply.
