In 2008, the capital market was in a downturn, and major brokers cut their salaries and laid off employees. Guotai Junan's sky-high salary and welfare expenditure is really jaw-dropping. Since 2008, due to the huge decline in A-shares and the sharp drop in trading volume, the major domestic brokers who depend on the weather have adopted the way of salary reduction and layoffs to deal with this round of bear market. However, in this context, Guotai Junan Securities, a leading large brokerage in China, has substantially increased its salary and welfare expenditure to 3.2 billion yuan, 57% higher than the budget at the beginning of the year. Calculated by more than 3,000 employees of Guotai Junan, the per capita income has reached 1 10,000 yuan, which makes peers stunned.

From 2065438 to June 2005, Guotai Junan received many market concerns. Before the formal subscription, it made a fortune by shorting stock index futures. However, after the closing of June 16, someone posted on Taobao, saying, "Xu, general manager of Guotai Junan Yangzhou Sales Department, announced on the Internet that the regulatory authorities will announce an increase in stamp duty that night." For a time, the relevant content flooded the circle of friends, and investors were at a loss. Combined with the situation that Guotai Junan seats benefited from the surge in empty orders, investors think this behavior is already a rumor. A related person inside Guotai Junan said that "the company is investigating this matter".
