Liu Xiaobao hesitated for a moment, but did not hide it from Lingzi.

After taking Su Jie into his private room, Liu Xiaobao told Lingzi the whole story of how he had gotten into a feud with Qiang Mujie at the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

After hearing this, Lingzi immediately retorted angrily, "Has Qiang Mujie lost his mind? He's so clueless! They failed in the stock market themselves, yet they won't allow others to make money. They hate others when they do. That's so narrow-minded! I never imagined he was this kind of person!"

Although Liu Xiaobao had long sensed Lingzi's affection for him, he never expected that Lingzi would so unhesitatingly tip the scales in his heart towards him, between him and her friends.

This made Liu Xiaobao very happy. He didn't want Lingzi to worry about him, so he didn't continue the topic of Qiang Mujie. Instead, he changed the subject and asked Lingzi.

"I see your 'Night Tokyo' business is getting better and better. Have you ever thought about opening a branch?"

Lingzi's thoughts were indeed diverted by Liu Xiaobao's words: "I have thought about it, but how can I manage all this by myself?"

At this moment, Xiaowen brought in the food, and Liu Xiaobao ate his meal while giving Lingzi a lesson.

"As a senior manager, you can't do everything yourself. You need to know how to delegate appropriately to your subordinates. This way, you won't exhaust yourself and you can earn more money."

Lingzi was a smart woman and understood immediately: "You mean after I open the branch, I'll only be responsible for management and not participate in the day-to-day operations?"

Liu Xiaobao nodded approvingly: "That's right. There are very few chain brands now. I suggest you take a longer-term view. Either don't do it at all, or do it big from the start and open branches all over the country. First, make the 'Night Tokyo' brand well-known, and making a fortune every day won't be difficult in the future!"

After listening to Liu Xiaobao's words, Lingzi fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao didn't disturb him, but just ate his meal with Su Jie with his head down.

After a moment, Lingzi came to her senses and smiled as she asked Liu Xiaobao, "Mr. Bao, your suggestion is really good, but opening branches in major provincial capitals across the country won't be something that can be done with a small amount of money. Will you continue to be in charge of the investment, Mr. Bao?"

Liu Xiaobao smiled faintly: "Don't try to play any tricks on me. Since I've given you this suggestion, it's natural that I want to do it with you. To tell you the truth, I'm going to register a group company this afternoon. If you agree to do a nationwide chain, I'll also register a catering subsidiary, and you'll be in charge of the management and operation of this company. Are you willing?"

It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea of ​​Liu Xiaobao to have Lingzi manage a nationwide chain of restaurants.

This was a plan that Liu Xiaobao had thought of after he realized that the 'Night Tokyo' business was booming.

However, Liu Xiaobao did not have enough funds at that time, so he could not implement it. Therefore, he only planned to set up a trading company, an investment company, and an entertainment company first.

But things are different now. Liu Xiaobao now has enough funds, which allows him to expand the company's business scope more broadly from the very beginning.

He not only wanted to establish a nationwide chain of catering companies, but he also had plans to get involved in the real estate industry and other fields. Otherwise, Liu Xiaobao would not have purchased three commercial buildings on Nanjing Road at once.

The best person to manage the restaurant company is undoubtedly Lingzi.

After listening to Liu Xiaobao's words, Lingzi's eyes lit up with a fire—a fire of expectation and a fire of fighting spirit.

However, Lingzi did not immediately agree to Liu Xiaobao's request. After thinking for a while and believing that she was confident in doing it well, she seriously replied to Liu Xiaobao, "Okay, I'll do it. But Mr. Bao, we need to make it clear beforehand how many shares of the company you plan to give me?"

Liu Xiaobao wasn't surprised at all by Lingzi's mercenary nature; on the contrary, he found it more realistic and authentic.

He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any losses. I'll give you some shares in my group company later. Are you satisfied?"

Lingzi smiled and extended her delicate hand to Liu Xiaobao: "Deal!"

Liu Xiaobao smiled and shook his head, but still shook hands with Lingzi.

After giving Lingzi some instructions and telling her to report to the company on Nanjing Road in a few days, Liu Xiaobao left 'Night Tokyo' with Su Jie after dinner.

In the afternoon, Liu Xiaobao went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to handle various matters related to company registration, while Su Jie went to register the license plates for Liu Xiaobao's new car.

Moreover, at Liu Xiaobao's request, Su Jie used money to pave the way and applied for a license plate with five eights.

As for Liu Xiaobao, things were a bit more complicated; he registered several companies in succession.

First, he registered and established a group company called 'Tianbao'.

Then he registered a series of companies in one go: Tianbao Catering Chain Co., Ltd., Tianbao Investment Co., Ltd., Tianbao Transportation Co., Ltd., Tianbao Entertainment Co., Ltd., Tianbao Real Estate Co., Ltd., Tianbao Jewelry Co., Ltd., Tianbao Trading Co., Ltd., and Tianbao Technology Co., Ltd.

Although Liu Xiaobao only registered eight subsidiaries, he has already completed the initial structure of the group, which actually covers many industry sectors.

For example, an investment company can further establish financial investment companies and industrial investment companies under its umbrella.

For example, a transportation company can further establish courier companies and freight companies under its umbrella.

For example, a real estate company can have various subsidiaries related to real estate, such as residential communities, hotels, shopping malls, cinemas, and so on.

In any case, Liu Xiaobao has registered all the industries he can think of this time, so he won't have to keep going to the Administration for Industry and Commerce when he opens new subsidiaries in the future.

However, today is just the registration application; the business license and other certificates will not be available for several days.

Now that the company name is finalized, Liu Xiaobao can start working on customizing the company signboard.

So after completing the registration with the Administration for Industry and Commerce, Liu Xiaobao went to order a custom-made company signboard. Thus, although Liu Xiaobao's 'Tianbao Group' has not yet officially opened to the public, it can be said that the overall structure has been completed today.

Su Jie did not receive the five license plates with the number eight he applied for today; they will take a few more days. However, now that he has a temporary license plate, he no longer has to worry about being stopped by traffic police on the street.

For the next few days, Liu Xiaobao and Su Jie worked together on the preparations for the new company on Nanjing Road.

By this time, the original tenants had already moved out, and Liu Xiaobao and his team were busy arranging the newly purchased office supplies, setting up the company, and recruiting staff, among other things.

Xiao Ningbo and Stamp Li were also helping out.

They were specially invited by Liu Xiaobao. He had agreed to let them invest in the company, and now he was fulfilling his promise.

Since they both have a stake in the company, it's only natural that they help with the preparations.

Fortunately, there was no need for a major renovation. Five days later, everything was ready at the new company, and all the company licenses were obtained. Now, all that was left was for Liu Xiaobao to choose a date for the official opening.

Looking at the three newly renovated commercial buildings, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Finally finished. Investing is definitely easier than running a company."

September 26, 1993.

On this day, news spread throughout the entire Pujiang area: Tianbao Group would officially open for business today.

Nanjing Road was twice as lively as usual that day, with many people coming specifically to watch the opening ceremony of Tianbao Group.

On this day, General Manager Xu of Hulian Commercial Building, Boss Ma of "Dongmei Brand," Section Chief Wang Mingzhu of No. 27, and Li Li of Zhizhen Garden all came to offer their congratulations.

Everyone who had done business with "Boss Bao" before came to congratulate Liu Xiaobao today, including Du Honggen and Commander Cai and their group of stock market enthusiasts.

Furthermore, Liu Xiaobao specially invited a vice mayor of Pujiang City to come and cut the ribbon, making the opening ceremony of Tianbao Group very grand and solemn.

That evening, Liu Xiaobao booked the entire Zhizhen Garden to host a banquet for those who came to offer their congratulations, as well as all the company's employees.

On Nanjing Road, the four large characters "Tianbao Group" on the three commercial buildings purchased by Liu Xiaobao stand out dazzlingly under the lights.

In just one day, Liu Xiaobao's Tianbao Group became famous throughout Pujiang.

Even Liu Xiaobao's Rolls-Royce became the topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.

The day after its opening, the entire Tianbao Group was up and running, and Liu Xiaobao also convened its first shareholders' meeting.

The four shareholders who participated in this meeting were Uncle Ye, Lingzi, Xiao Ningbo, and Postage Stamp Li.

Liu Xiaobao gave each of the four of them a 1% share. Although it may seem like a small number of shares, they are actually worth a lot of money.

Because Liu Xiaobao invested 10 billion yuan in Tianbao Group as start-up capital, the four of them already received 100 million yuan each based on the company's existing assets alone, not to mention how much it will be worth in the future.

Although Liu Xiaobao registered eight subsidiaries in one go and put them on display, none of these eight subsidiaries actually have designated persons in charge. They have only hired people below the senior management level to handle the daily operations.

The purpose of Liu Xiaobao's convening of this shareholders' meeting was to assign specific tasks to Uncle and the other three.

As previously agreed, Liu Xiaobao put Lingzi in charge of Tianbao Catering Company, but the brand restaurant was still called "Night Tokyo". Lingzi would first select and plan the locations of the chain stores in each province.

However, in the early stages, Liu Xiaobao and Lingzi only planned to open one chain store in each of the major provincial capitals in China to lay the groundwork. Once the "Night Tokyo" brand was established, they would gradually expand from the major provincial capitals to prefecture-level cities to open chain stores, and finally achieve the goal of a nationwide chain.

As for Tianbao Trading Company, Liu Xiaobao still entrusted it to his uncle, as this was his area of ​​expertise. Moreover, his uncle had taken over the previous foreign trade company's orders, so no one was more suitable to manage this trading company than his uncle.

As for Xiao Ningbo, Liu Xiaobao put him in charge of Tianbao Transportation Company. In the early stages, he was asked to establish a transportation station in major provincial capitals across the country and purchase one hundred trucks to temporarily handle freight business in various regions, laying the foundation for the future express delivery industry.

Finally, there's Stamp Li. Liu Xiaobao put him in charge of Tianbao Real Estate Company, initially mainly responsible for cooperating with government policies to develop land in Pudong and Shenzhen.

Liu Xiaobao himself will temporarily be in charge of Tianbao Investment Company and Tianbao Technology Company. He will relinquish the position when a suitable candidate is found.

As for the positions of Tianbao Entertainment Company and Tianbao Jewelry Company, they are currently vacant, but Liu Xiaobao already has two candidates in mind.

After Xuezhi has gained more experience, Liu Xiaobao will hand over the management of Tianbao Entertainment Company to her.

Liu Xiaobao wanted to groom Li Jiaxin to be the head of Tianbao Jewelry Company, but it wasn't the right time yet, so the position would remain vacant for now.

Regarding the future development of each company, Liu Xiaobao only made general plans for Uncle and the others. He did not interfere with the specifics of how to implement them, leaving it entirely to them.

After all, everyone has their own expertise; Liu Xiaobao is only good at finance and investment, not business management.

But Liu Xiaobao believed that with his understanding of the future, as long as the general direction he pointed out was correct, Tianbao Group would definitely be able to grow stronger and bigger.

Besides, the four of them didn't need to handle the specific details themselves.

Tianbao Group has already recruited over a hundred people, with each subsidiary having its own employees, and they are still recruiting externally. Uncle and the others only need to understand Liu Xiaobao's meaning and then issue orders to their subordinates.

After setting the general direction for the company's development, appointing the heads of the four subsidiaries, and assigning preliminary tasks to each company, Liu Xiaobao finally felt a little relieved.

Liu Xiaobao only had one day to catch his breath, because he was about to face a major event, which could be considered a great start for the newly opened Tianbao Group.

September 29, 1993.

On the fourth day after Tianbao Group opened, which was also the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the "Baoying Battle" on the Pujiang Stock Exchange began.

Yingzhou Industrial, stock code 100601, had a share price of 10.05 yuan on that day. Although it was a bonus share, it was not particularly eye-catching.

However, just before the market closed that day, Liu Xiaobao, who had been keeping a close eye on the stock, keenly noticed that it was being rapidly bought up, though the orders were not large and would go unnoticed by those who weren't paying attention.

Liu Xiaobao didn't take any action. After noticing the anomaly, he couldn't help but smile slightly and mutter to himself.
