Film and Television: Bao Zong has finance in his left hand and entertainment in his right.

"The first public takeover battle in China's history has finally arrived. Qiang Mujie, I hope you can withstand the final result!"

Although the 'Baoying Battle' did not involve a large amount of money, the total profit and loss was only about one billion.

However, as this was the first publicly announced takeover case in China, it was of great significance. Therefore, this battle was later included in the finance textbook, and Liu Xiaobao, who majored in finance and investment, naturally had a deep impression of it.

He didn't even need to investigate; he already knew that the mastermind behind it all was 'Southern International Investment Co., Ltd.'

'Southern International Investment Co., Ltd.' is also known as 'Southern Investment Group,' which is abbreviated as 'county.'

Before going to Hong Kong, Liu Xiaobao had hoped to make a fortune in the "Bao Ying War," which is why he desperately tried to make money in the Shanghai Stock Exchange to operate his capital.

But now Liu Xiaobao's ideas are different. He no longer cares about the profit. He wants to be the biggest winner in this "Baoying War" and make his Tianbao Investment Company famous because of this battle.

This is why Liu Xiaobao, despite knowing about the upcoming "Baoying Battle," did not buy the stock in advance. Otherwise, he could have made a fortune by buying a large amount of the stock at its lowest price a few days later.

But now Liu Xiaobao wants more than just making money; he wants to use this battle to make Tianbao Group famous and teach Qiang Mujie, who was in charge of this operation for Nanguo Investment, a lesson.

Just as Liu Xiaobao was preparing for tomorrow's battle, Li Li called him again.

"Mr. Bao, can we meet now?"

Liu Xiaobao had a vague idea of ​​Li Li's purpose in asking him to meet at this time.

But he still decided to meet with Li Li and see what she would say to him.

"Okay, let's meet at 'Xinlanju' again!"

Chapter 94 Extending an Olive Branch to Li Li (Please Subscribe)

Nanyun Road, Xinlanju.

Liu Xiaobao didn't drive, nor did he call Su Jie; he hailed a taxi by himself.

When Liu Xiaobao arrived at Xinlanju, Li Li was already waiting for him in a private room upstairs. And just like the last time Liu Xiaobao waited for her, she had already ordered food and was eating.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but smile slightly. Then, without any hesitation, he sat down opposite Li Li and picked up the bowl and chopsticks that had been prepared to eat.

Neither of them spoke; they simply drank their wine and ate their meat.

After finishing one serving of mutton, Li Li poured a second serving into the hot pot and waited for it to cook before finally speaking.

"I heard that Qiang Mujie challenged you to a duel a few days ago, Mr. Bao?"

Liu Xiaobao took a sip of his drink, looked at Li Li, and said, "It seems that you have met him before, Miss Li Li."

Only the four people present knew about Qiang Mujie's challenge to Liu Xiaobao in Tokyo that day. Liu Xiaobao, Su Jie, and Lingzi naturally wouldn't tell Li Li about it, so only Qiang Mujie could have told Li Li.

Li Li did not deny it, and continued, "This battle should be coming soon. Mr. Bao, what are your chances of winning?"

Liu Xiaobao smiled faintly: "Miss Li, to be honest, I don't take Qiang Mujie seriously at all. It's fine if he doesn't provoke me, but if he doesn't know his place and dares to provoke me, his fate will be very miserable."

Li Li was stunned; clearly, she hadn't expected Liu Xiaobao to have such confidence.

"President Bao, you shouldn't underestimate your opponent. Qiang Mujie is not just a name without substance, and he also has Nanguo Investment as his backer. If you really go up against him, you'd better take him seriously."

Liu Xiaobao didn't take it seriously and asked, "Did Miss Li ask to meet me today just to remind me of this?"

Seeing that Liu Xiaobao didn't take her reminder seriously, Li Li shook her head slightly and then wrote three invisible numbers on the table with her finger.

But Liu Xiaobao saw clearly that the three numbers Li Li wrote were '601', which was the stock code for 'Yingzhou Industry'.

Upon seeing these three numbers, Liu Xiaobao finally understood that what Li Li really wanted to remind him of was the target stock that Qiang Mujie was preparing to target.

Liu Xiaobao already knew about the 'Baoying Battle' and naturally knew that Li Li's reminder was correct. Therefore, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but feel grateful for Li Li's actions.

He knew very well that even though he had helped Zhizhen Garden through a calamity before, the favor that Li (abcj) Li owed him now was much greater.

So at this moment, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but have a thought and asked Li Li.

"Miss Li, as you've seen, I've established the 'Tianbao Group.' I wonder if you'd be interested in joining?"

Li Li was stunned again.

On the day Tianbao Group opened, Li Li attended the event. That evening, Liu Xiaobao even booked her Zhizhen Garden for a banquet, so she naturally knew that Liu Xiaobao had founded Tianbao Group.

She was quite surprised that Liu Xiaobao would suddenly extend an olive branch to her.

After regaining her senses, Li Li smiled slightly and replied to Liu Xiaobao.

"Let's see if you can win this battle against Qiang Mujie first! If you win, I'll consider your proposal!"

Liu Xiaobao nodded, said nothing more, and quietly resumed eating the cooked mutton hotpot with Li Li.

Although he thought highly of Li Li and the two had crossed paths a few times, they were not yet familiar with each other and did not fully trust each other before tonight.

Although Li Li had just used those three numbers to gain Liu Xiaobao's trust, he had not yet won Li Li's trust and approval.

Therefore, if Liu Xiaobao wanted to get Li Li on his side, he knew he had to first demonstrate his abilities in order to win Li Li's trust and approval.

The upcoming "Battle of Baoying" will be the time for Liu Xiaobao to prove his strength to Li Li.

After a short while, Li Li put down her chopsticks: "Mr. Bao, I'm full, I'll be leaving now!"

After saying that, Li Li picked up her handbag and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but ask, "It's getting late, how about I take you home?"

Li Li paused for a moment, and after two seconds, she replied, "No need. Qiang Mujie can't know about our meeting, otherwise that number will be invalid."

After Li Li finished speaking, she didn't hesitate any longer and quickly walked downstairs.

In fact, Liu Xiaobao didn't care about that number. As long as Qiang Mujie made a move, he would find out which stock Qiang Mujie was targeting.

Therefore, it doesn't matter to Liu Xiaobao whether Qiang Mujie changes his target or not.

However, seeing that Li Li valued it very much, Liu Xiaobao didn't want the favor she gave him to go to waste. Since Li Li insisted, he decided not to see her off.

After calmly finishing his hot pot meal, Liu Xiaobao got up and returned to Nanjing Road.

Now that Tianbao Group has opened, Liu Xiaobao has moved out of the Peace Hotel and into the middle building among the three commercial buildings.

Of course, all three buildings are five stories high, and each floor has an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters, so it is impossible for Liu Xiaobao to live on one floor by himself.

So he divided this floor into more than a dozen large rooms, and Su Jie lived in the room next to Liu Xiaobao's.

Moreover, this is only a temporary expedient to facilitate Liu Xiaobao's work and rest. Once the company is stable, Liu Xiaobao will buy another property and move out.

Silent all night.

To conserve his energy for the upcoming battle, Liu Xiaobao had a good night's sleep.

The next day, which was September 30, 1993.

At eight o'clock in the morning, after waking up and having breakfast, Liu Xiaobao went to his office full of energy.

Although it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Xiaobao did not give the investment company's employees a holiday, because today is the opening day of the "Baoying Battle". At this time, the employees have all arrived at their work stations on time.

"Good morning, Mr. Bao..."

"Good morning, Mr. Bao..."

Upon seeing Liu Xiaobao arrive, all the employees greeted him.

Liu Xiaobao smiled and nodded to the employees in response.

After entering his office, Liu Xiaobao turned on his computer and called his manager.

Currently, Tianbao Investment Company is personally managed by Liu Xiaobao, so apart from him, the highest-ranking person in the company is the manager.

The manager was a middle-aged man named Li Shengli, who was thirty-five years old. He was hired by Liu Xiaobao. Although Li Shengli was not as knowledgeable about financial investment as Liu Xiaobao, he was still a professional!

Li Shengli quickly arrived at Liu Xiaobao's office and respectfully greeted him, "President Bao!"

"Manager Li, have all our personnel been assigned to the stock exchange trading hall?"

"As you instructed, Mr. Bao, we have arrived at the trading hall and checked our respective trading computers. There are no problems, and we are all awaiting your instructions!"

Liu Xiaobao nodded: "Okay, then let's just wait for news now!"

Chapter 95 The Battle of Baoying Begins (Please Subscribe)

No. 110 Xikang Road, Pudong, Shanghai Stock Exchange.

As soon as the market opened, stock traders rushed into the trading hall.

The stock exchange is different from what it was a few months ago. The current Pujiang Stock Exchange, like the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, has several additional trading halls available for rent, which are provided for use by stock investment institutions.

One of the institutional trading halls was occupied by 'Nanguo Investment' today.

Liu Xiaobao's Tianbao Investment Company also joined in the fun today, applying for a trading hall.

At this moment, traders from Tianbao Investment Company were stationed in the trading hall, but they were merely sitting in front of their computers, not actively trading, awaiting Liu Xiaobao's orders.

As soon as the market opened, two stocks began to rise. The two stocks had very similar stock codes: one was 100601 and the other was 100603.

The stock in question, number 601, belongs to Yingzhou Industrial. Yingzhou Industrial's share price has jumped from 10.05 yuan per share at yesterday's close to 10.28 yuan, and it continues to rise.

As Liu Xiaobao watched the two stocks rise at the same rate in front of his computer, he couldn't help but think a little more highly of Qiang Mujie.

Qiang Mujie's trading tactics are actually the same as those of Morgan Stanley International Fund in the Hong Kong stock market; both are using covert methods to secretly conduct operations.

The only difference is that Morgan Stanley International Funds operates on a larger scale, simultaneously trading more than a dozen stocks as a cover, while Qiang Mujie only trades one stock as a cover.

Although this trading method is known to almost everyone in 2023, it was still a very novel trading technique in China in 1993.
