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

If these shareholders do not continue to invest money to close their positions, their shares will be automatically returned to the securities market.

If Liu Xiaobao were to follow the second approach, he certainly wouldn't just let 601 drop by a little; it would have to drop significantly to scare the Qilin Society.

If those stock investors don't have the money to close their positions along the way, Liu Xiaobao will have essentially made all their money go down the drain.

It was precisely because of this reason that Liu Xiaobao didn't know what to choose.

This isn't because Liu Xiaobao has some kind of saintly heart to save the world, but rather because the current domestic securities market regulations and systems are not comprehensive or perfect enough.

If Liu Xiaobao harms too many innocent stock investors and attracts the attention of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, he might be charged with "manipulating stock market prices and plundering the property of the masses." It wouldn't be worth it for him to be arrested and imprisoned.

Lost in these agonizing thoughts, Liu Xiaobao didn't even notice that night had fallen.

It wasn't until 11:30 p.m. that Liu Xiaobao's stomach started growling with hunger, and he realized how late it was.

Liu Xiaobao was about to go out to get something to eat. Just as he stepped out of his room and was about to knock on Su Jie's door, he suddenly noticed that Li Li's door was open and the light was on inside.

"This woman, she's still awake so late!"

Muttering something to himself, Liu Xiaobao curiously walked to the door of Li Li's room and peeked inside.

Suddenly, I noticed that the furniture in the room had been arranged, and Li Li was sitting at the writing desk by the window, holding a folder in her hand, obviously still looking at some documents.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but feel happy that he had chosen the right person. He gently knocked on the door and reminded Li Li of the time.

"Studying so hard, it's already 11:30, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Li Li didn't check the time; she just looked up at Liu Xiaobao.

"I've just joined the company, and there are still many things to sort out. I have to work hard, otherwise how can I gain the respect of others? Mr. Bao, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Liu Xiaobao nodded approvingly: "I was thinking about 601 so much that I forgot to eat dinner. I'm hungry now and was just about to go out for something to eat. Since you're still awake, do you want to come with me?"

When Li Li heard Liu Xiaobao mention 601, she didn't refuse and nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, I didn't eat enough tonight and I'm a little hungry now. I'd also like to hear what new ideas you have for 601, Mr. Bao."

Liu Xiaobao turned around and knocked on Su Jie's door again. Then he called Su Jie, and the three of them got into Liu Xiaobao's old, unassuming Volkswagen sedan and headed to the Xinlanju Hot Pot Restaurant on Nanyun Road.

This time, Su Jie didn't stand to the side anymore, but sat down with Liu Xiaobao and the others.

After ordering the food and drinks, Su Jie ate his food with his head down, while Liu Xiaobao and Li Li drank some wine and ate hot pot while chatting about 601.

"Boss Bao, you mentioned before that you were thinking about Unit 601. Are you planning to take action?"

Since Li Li was already on his ship and had no connection with the Qilin Society, Liu Xiaobao did not hide anything from Li Li and truthfully told her his thoughts and how he was unsure how to choose between the two options.

After listening, Li Li remained silent for a moment, then spoke to Liu Xiaobao.

“Mr. Bao, I do have an idea that can help you resolve those concerns, but it requires you to invest a large sum of money in the early stages.”

Upon hearing Li Li's words, Liu Xiaobao's eyes lit up.

He had just been venting to Li Li, not expecting her to help him solve his problems.

Unexpectedly, Li Li actually came up with a way to help him, which was a pleasant surprise for Liu Xiaobao!

"Money isn't the issue; the key is to solve the problem. Li Li, why don't you tell us your idea first!"

Seeing that Liu Xiaobao had expressed his opinion, Li Li had no more concerns and slowly spoke.

"Actually, my solution is very simple: settle things with money. Since you, Mr. Bao, don't want to hurt those innocent shareholders, then at the very beginning of the price drop, sweep up all the sell orders that were placed. Anyway, when the price of 601 stock just started to fall, Qilin will definitely not sell immediately. They will inevitably think that you, Mr. Bao, are deliberately trying to induce them to sell, and choose to continue holding 601. At that time, the only ones who can sell their stocks will be those small shareholders. Once you, Mr. Bao, sweep up all the stocks of these small shareholders, they can leave the market in advance!"

Liu Xiaobao nodded, but still had concerns: "What if those shareholders don't sell?"

Li Li's eyes turned cold, and she said indifferently.

"One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand! If those stock investors can't see the situation clearly and still greedily think about making money, then that's their own problem, and you can't be blamed anymore, Mr. Bao! And Mr. Bao's buying spree has given you an explanation to the relevant departments, so you can deal with their investigations and won't have to be soft on those stock investors anymore!"

Looking at the cold and aloof Li Li at this moment, Liu Xiaobao once again felt that he had made the right choice in recruiting Li Li as his partner. At this moment, Li Li truly had the demeanor of a great general!

Moreover, Liu Xiaobao is not a saintly person. After hearing Li Li's words, he immediately made his choice.

"Okay, we'll do it your way. Uh... Li Li, how about I put you in charge of this?"

"Boss Bao is testing my abilities! Fine, since Boss Bao thinks so highly of me and is entrusting me with such a big operation, then I'll make a fool of myself and prove myself to Boss Bao!"

Liu Xiaobao did not deny Li Li's words.

Although he could tell that Li Li had a good eye for investment and guessed that she was capable in stocks and finance, he had never seen Li Li perform in person. Therefore, Liu Xiaobao really wanted to take this opportunity to test Li Li.

Now that Li Li had agreed, Liu Xiaobao readily complied.

Having made his choice, Liu Xiaobao was no longer upset. After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned to Nanjing Road.

The next day, October 14th.

For the past ten days or so, stock 601 has been the focus of attention.

After the Shanghai Stock Exchange opened, investors habitually looked at the stock price of 601 (abcj) on the display screen first.

However, the stock price of 601 remained unchanged from the previous days, hanging at 9.65 yuan per share without any movement.

This greatly disappointed those shareholders who still held shares in 601, who could only continue to pray that 601 would rise again.

But their prayers were clearly not received by God.

At 10:30 a.m., a sell order for 100,000 shares of 601 suddenly appeared on the trading market. A minute later, several more sell orders for 50,000 or 100,000 shares of 601 appeared.

Within just three minutes, nearly two million shares of 601 stock were sold on the trading market.

This time, the stock price of 601, which had remained unchanged for three days, finally moved, falling from 9.65 yuan per share to 9.6 yuan per share.

Although the price only dropped by five cents per share, it was a bad sign. The shareholders who held shares of 601 were shocked. However, most of them wanted to continue to wait and see and did not want to sell.

Before these investors could even process what was happening, ten minutes later, large sell orders began appearing on the trading market.

This time, the sell orders were mostly in the form of 100,000 to 200,000 shares, with sell orders of 10,000 to 50,000 shares being rare, and sell orders of a few thousand shares being even rarer.

These sell orders combined amount to at least three million shares.

As these sell orders were placed, the share price of 601 stock fell again, and not by five cents, but by fifteen cents per share, to nine dollars and forty-five cents.

At this point, the investors could no longer sit still. Most of them were afraid that 601 would continue to fall, so they gritted their teeth and put their 601 shares up for sale.

However, some investors are reluctant to lose money and plan to hold onto their shares and see how the market develops.

The Qilin Society members naturally received news of the movements in the stock market.

The thirteen members of the Qilin Society had already gathered together, intending to discuss the matter.

Dr. Wu was the first to speak: "You all know about the situation at 601, right? What are your thoughts?"

One member chimed in, "I think this is definitely a trap set by that kid Abao to lure us into selling our 601 shares now."

Another member chimed in, "I think so too, so we can't panic, and we definitely can't fall for his tricks!"

The other members nodded in agreement, indicating that they thought so too.

Dr. Wu nodded in agreement; he shared the same thought, though he considered it more deeply than the other members.

Doctor Wu glanced at everyone and then asked a question.

"Now that we know it's a trap set by that kid Abao, should we turn the tables and buy up all the 601 units listed for sale while they're at a low price?"

Upon hearing Dr. Wu's words, the other twelve members of the Qilin Society exchanged bewildered glances.

Given the current market conditions for 601 stock, it's already quite good that they're keeping it.

However, they are really unwilling to continue investing more money and buying back more 601 shares.

It wasn't that they ran out of money, but rather that they felt the current situation at 601 was too unpredictable, and they dared not risk investing any more money.

"Dr. Wu, to be honest, since we can't compete for Yingzhou Industrial's shares, the dominant power is in the hands of that kid Abao's Tianbao Group. Whether it rises or falls is entirely up to him. Besides, you saw what happened with Tianbao Group's acquisition of 'Southern International Group' last time. Tianbao Group is quite powerful. If we go head-to-head with that kid Abao, it's really uncertain who will win or lose. So... so... -..."

The member didn't finish his sentence, clearly afraid of offending Dr. Wu.

But then another member chimed in.

"So Dr. Wu, let's just hold onto the 601 stocks we have now and wait to make a profit. Let's not invest any more!"

Another member chimed in, "Yes, Dr. Wu, the current situation is really not optimistic. Even if we lose now, at least we'll still have some life left. But if we invest more and then lose... we'll be bankrupt!"

The other members nodded in agreement, indicating their agreement with this viewpoint.

Seeing that no one else intended to invest more in buying more goods, Dr. Wu decided not to insist any further.

Dr. Wu sighed softly and said, "Then let's go with everyone's suggestion and continue to wait and see what happens. We won't buy any more 601 shares."

Just now.

In the general manager's office of 'Tianbao Investment Company', Li Li hung up the phone and then spoke to Liu Xiaobao, who was drinking tea.

"Boss Bao, just as I expected, there are so many 601s listed on the market, but no one is buying them. The Qilin Society really doesn't dare to make a move."

Liu Xiaobao said calmly, "From what you're saying, are you planning to make your move now?"

Li Li nodded: "Third time's the charm. I've already given those investors two chances to leave. Those who haven't left yet are still hoping for a rebound. I'll give them another half hour to make a choice. If they still can't bear to leave after half an hour, they can only blame themselves for being short-sighted!"

Liu Xiaobao did not criticize Li Li for being ruthless.

The stock market is inherently a high-risk financial market; there is no such thing as a guaranteed profit.
