Guohai Securities Chairman Vows One-Stop Financial Services for Guangxi Tech Firms
Guohai Securities, Guangxi's only locally listed financial institution, will focus on providing one-stop comprehensive financial services to regional sci-tech innovation enterprises, its chairman said. The company has built a new quality productive forces identification system targeting artificial intelligence, key metals, and marine economy sectors under the 15th Five-Year Plan. It is transforming its service approach from passive matching to active engagement, integrating investment banking, investment, research, wealth management, and futures businesses to support technology enterprises across their full lifecycle.
As the only locally listed financial institution in Guangxi, Guohai Securities has supported the development of new quality productive forces through capital market reforms in recent years. The company positions itself as a regional leader in sci-tech finance, a strategic coordinator for local state-owned capital, and a financial bridgehead facing ASEAN. Leveraging Guangxi's resources and industrial base, it provides comprehensive financial services covering financing, knowledge integration, and resource integration to support the growth of technology enterprises. The company focuses on the needs of regional sci-tech enterprises, offering one-stop, long-term, customized, and empowering financial services to help build a closed-loop ecosystem of technological innovation, capital empowerment, and industrial implementation.
Guangxi's technology enterprises exhibit several regional characteristics. On one hand, drawing on local distinctive resources, some enterprises focus on technological innovation in niche segments, forming "little giant" enterprises that are specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative. The sci-tech ecosystem is centered on core state-owned capital platforms, which serve as capital providers, industrial organizers, and sci-tech incubators, with small and medium-sized technology enterprises typically developing around chain-leading state-owned platforms and industrial parks. On the other hand, traditional pillar industries such as machinery, automobiles, and metallurgy are undergoing intelligent and green transformation, generating substantial demand for technological innovation. Meanwhile, enterprises have generally formed an open innovation pattern of "R&D in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen plus integration and pilot testing in Guangxi plus application scenarios in ASEAN," leveraging the New Western Land-Sea Corridor and the China-ASEAN Information Harbor to build foundations in cross-border technology services, digital trade, and intelligent logistics. Most technology enterprises are in their startup or growth stages, highly dependent on state-owned platform guidance and policy support, with their awareness and application capabilities regarding direct financing and innovative capital tools still improving.
Guohai Securities has built a new quality productive forces identification system tailored to Guangxi's characteristics. The company focuses on key industries for the 15th Five-Year Plan period, including artificial intelligence, key metals, and the marine economy, and has developed a screening methodology covering the full enterprise lifecycle based on the industrial characteristics of each city. Specific actions include forming region-wide collaborative teams that go down to individual cities and key industrial parks to survey sci-tech enterprises, with emphasis on identifying targets aligned with regional strategies. The company also participates in special initiatives such as Yangtze River Economic Belt industrial cooperation and empowerment services for key Guangxi enterprises, integrating resources from industrial parks, financial institutions, research institutes, and listed companies. In the evaluation stage, the company has moved beyond single financial metrics to establish a sci-tech attribute assessment system covering dimensions such as R&D investment intensity, core technology barriers, intellectual property quality, team innovation capability, and track growth potential. Its research paradigm has been upgraded to integrate investment research, industry research, and policy research, focusing on tracks including advanced manufacturing, high-end new materials, green energy, biomedicine, and cross-border digital economy, with systematic analysis structured around chain-leading enterprises, specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, and enterprises filling key gaps in the industrial chain.
Guohai Securities has implemented three transformations in its service logic. Service logic has shifted from passive matching to active engagement, going deep into the front lines of the industrial chain and participating in corporate strategic planning, technology route selection, and capital structure optimization. Product form has shifted from single products to comprehensive services, coordinating business lines including investment banking, investment, research, wealth management, and futures to provide one-stop solutions for financing, knowledge integration, and resource integration. Evaluation criteria have shifted from a financial perspective to a sci-tech perspective, assessing technological leadership, R&D conversion efficiency, industrial chain criticality, and long-term growth potential rather than relying solely on historical financial data. These practices have been applied to Guangxi's sci-tech innovation development strategy, and the company continues to participate in regional new quality productive forces development through resource integration, policy alignment, and industrial cultivation.
