Liu Xiaobao had been pondering the Hong Kong stock market and Morgan Stanley International Funds, but when Li Jiaxin asked him about it, he finally snapped out of his thoughts.

"I still have some things to think about tonight, so I won't be staying here. You should get some sleep!"

Li Jiaxin nodded obediently, kissed Liu Xiaobao on the cheek, and then turned and went into the house.

Liu Xiaobao took Su Jie back to the mountaintop mansion. That night, Liu Xiaobao sat alone in the study for a long time.

Two days later in the morning.

Liu Xiaobao was lazily lying on a chair on the lawn, basking in the sun, when his cell phone rang.

Pressing the answer button, Xuezhi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

....... ....

“Mr. Bao, I just met with people from ATV. They said they want to discuss the acquisition, but you need to meet with Mr. Cheng Yu-tung in person.”

Liu Xiaobao nodded and said, "Since it was relayed by someone below, it must have been Mr. Zheng's order. It seems he intends to transfer ATV. Okay, I understand. I will personally visit Mr. Zheng later to discuss the acquisition. By the way, how's the search for the commercial building going?"

Xuezhi replied, "I've found two commercial buildings that are willing to be sold, and they're located in Central. However, I haven't finalized the price with them yet. I'll let you know when I have a result!"

"Alright, let's split up. I'll take charge of acquiring the TV station, and you'll take charge of buying the commercial building!"

Xuezhi agreed on the other end of the phone and then gave Zheng Yutong's contact information to Liu Xiaobao.

After writing down the contact information, Liu Xiaobao hung up the phone and immediately dialed Zheng Yutong's number.

"Hello, this is Zheng Yutong!"

"Senior Zheng, it's me, Abao. Do you remember me?"

"Oh, it's Mr. Bao. You're calling me about the acquisition of ATV, right?"

"That's right, Senior Zheng. I heard you want to discuss the acquisition of ATV with me in person. When would you be available?"

"I have an important meeting at the telecommunications company this morning, so I can only meet with you this afternoon, Mr. Bao. How about we meet at ATV at 2:30 this afternoon?"

"Okay, Senior Zheng, I'll be there on time!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaobao smiled faintly: "Looks like there's hope for acquiring the TV station!"

ATV (Asia Television)

At 2:30 PM, Liu Xiaobao and Su Jie arrived precisely at the entrance of ATV television station.

To Liu Xiaobao's surprise, Zheng Yutong not only came to the door to greet him personally, but He Chaoqiong was also by his side.

Liu Xiaobao immediately shook hands with Zheng Yutong and exchanged greetings. Only then did Liu Xiaobao ask He Chaoqiong curiously, "Miss He, what brings you here? Could it be that Miss He is also interested in acquiring ATV?"

He Chaoqiong shook her head and explained, "President Bao, you misunderstand. Our He family also owns five percent of ATV's shares. I heard that Uncle Zheng is going to discuss the acquisition with President Bao today, so I came to listen and see if it will affect the shares held by our He family."

"I see. I'm so sorry, Miss He. I was just being paranoid. Please don't take offense!"

After Liu Xiaobao finished saying "647", Zheng Yutong chimed in, "Mr. Bao, let's not waste any more time. Let me show you around the TV station first, and then we can talk."

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Zheng!"

Next, led by Cheng Yu-tung, Liu Xiaobao toured the ATV television station.

Along the way, Zheng Yutong also explained a lot to Liu Xiaobao, allowing Liu Xiaobao to understand the basic structure and operating model of the TV station.

After touring all the departments of the television station, the group finally arrived at Chairman Zheng Yutong's office.

Su Jie did not go in with Liu Xiaobao, but stood guard outside the door. At this moment, there were only Zheng Yutong, Liu Xiaobao, and He Chaoqiong in the office.

He Chaoqiong made a cup of tea for Zheng Yutong and Liu Xiaobao respectively, and then said with a smile, "You two talk, I'll just listen in!"

Given that the Ho family owned 5% of ATV's shares, Liu Xiaobao didn't mind that Pansy Ho was listening in.

Liu Xiaobao didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point with Zheng Yutong.

"Senior Zheng, before we talk, could you tell me how many shares you own in ATV, and whether that's enough to give you absolute control?"

Zheng Yutong replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Bao. I own 56% of ATV's shares, which gives me absolute control. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to come and talk to you alone."

Liu Xiaobao nodded: "That's good. But I'm curious, when I asked Senior Zheng a couple of days ago, you seemed unwilling to sell ATV. Why have you changed your mind now?"

Zheng Yutong gave a wry smile.

“Mr. Bao, there are some things you just have to admit! To be honest, my ATV is no match for Uncle Shao. Since the year before last, ATV has been losing money. If I didn’t want to compete again, I would have sold the station long ago. And the other day, Mr. Bao, you said that if you can’t take over ATV, you will start a new station. At that time, ATV will have another strong competitor. Rather than let ATV be worn down by you, I’d rather get rid of it sooner and focus on my own communications business, and watch you fight with Uncle Shao.”

Upon hearing Zheng Yutong's explanation, Liu Xiaobao suddenly realized that it was his own words about starting a new television station that had broken down Zheng Yutong's defenses.

However, this put Liu Xiaobao at ease.

"I see. It seems Senior Zheng really wants to surpass Senior Shao in the television industry. Don't worry, as long as Senior Zheng is willing to part with something, I will definitely help you accomplish what you couldn't do before!"

Zheng Yutong laughed and said, "If I were unwilling to take action, I wouldn't have invited President Bao here today. Let's get straight to the point. I can transfer my shares to President Bao, but you must agree to three conditions first. Otherwise, I will never give up this TV station to you, even if I am worn down to death in the future."

Liu Xiaobao hesitated for a moment before straightening his expression and saying, "What are your conditions, Senior Zheng?"

Cheng Yu-tung also put away his smile and said seriously, "My first condition is that if Mr. Bao takes over ATV, I hope you will not fire the original ATV employees."

Seeing that Zheng Yutong was not going to continue, Liu Xiaobao understood that he was waiting for Liu Xiaobao to express his opinion.

After understanding, Liu Xiaobao said, "I'd be delighted to have an existing team at my disposal. This condition is no problem; I agree."

Zheng Yutong nodded and continued, "The second condition is that I will convene a shareholders' meeting. If any other shareholders are willing to sell their shares, I hope Mr. Bao will be able to take them all. I believe Mr. Bao won't be short of money!"

Liu Xiaobao laughed and said, "No problem, I can agree to this condition. What about the last condition?"

"My third condition is that I hope to retain 5% of ATV's shares. If you surpass Uncle Shaw's TVB, then I will also get a share!"

Liu Xiaobao calculated that even if he left Zheng Yutong with 5% of the shares, he could still acquire 51% of the shares and achieve absolute control.

"Okay, I agree to this condition!"

"Alright, since Mr. Bao is so agreeable, let's talk about the price now!"

"Alright, I'll say it again, Senior Zheng, name your price, I won't haggle!"

Zheng Yutong did not take advantage of Liu Xiaobao.

Zheng Yutong laughed loudly, "Mr. Bao, you knew I wouldn't ask for an exorbitant price. Alright, I like Mr. Bao's style. Then I won't be polite. Our ATV's current market value is 2.2 billion. I won't take advantage of you, Mr. Bao. I'll transfer my 51% stake to you for 1.1 billion. What do you think?"

Liu Xiaobao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Zheng, for your generosity!"

Zheng Yutong laughed and said, "It's just a mutually beneficial deal. Mr. Bao, there's no need for thanks. Now that it's settled, Mr. Bao, I'll convene a shareholders' meeting now and hear their opinions."

Liu Xiaobao nodded: "Okay, let's finalize it as soon as possible and sign the contract!"

“Then please have a seat, Mr. Bao. I’ll go and contact the shareholders to come over.” After saying that, Zheng Yutong turned around and went to his desk to make a 2.9 call.

At this moment, Pansy Ho, who was sitting to the side, spoke up: "President Bao, congratulations on taking over ATV!"

"Thank you, Miss He. You heard the whole thing. I wonder what your He family plans to do with the 5% stake in ATV?"

Instead of answering, He Chaoqiong asked, "Mr. Bao, do you think we should continue to hold onto it, or sell it to you now?"

Liu Xiaobao paused for a moment, then looked up and met He Chaoqiong's gaze.

"Miss He trusts me that much?"

"That's right, I trust your decision, Mr. Bao, and I believe you won't let our He family's money go to waste!"

Liu Xiaobao was stunned again: "Miss He, why do you believe me?"

He Chaoqiong looked directly at Liu Xiaobao, her pretty face brightening with a faint smile: "Intuition!"

intuition?

Upon hearing He Chaoqiong's reason, Liu Xiaobao was speechless.

This reason was so compelling that Liu Xiaobao was speechless.

"Since Miss He trusts me so much, I suggest you retain that 5% of ATV's shares. ATV will definitely not disappoint you in the future!"

Without hesitation, Pansy Ho replied, "Okay, then I'll listen to President Bao and continue to hold that 5% stake in ATV!"

Suddenly, Liu Xiaobao seemed to remember something and asked He Chaoqiong a question out of curiosity.

"Miss He, I'm very curious. Your He family should be quite wealthy, so why do you only hold five percent of ATV's shares? And why don't you compete with me for this ATV television station?"

Without hesitation, He Chaoqiong began to explain.

"Our He family is indeed not short of money. Holding five percent of the shares is just for fun. Moreover, even if our He family wanted to buy ATV, Uncle Zheng would not sell it to us. Our He family's roots are in Las Vegas. Once our He family gets involved in Hong Kong, we will inevitably face a united opposition from all the Hong Kong tycoons. It may even threaten our He family's foundation in Las Vegas. Our He family is not arrogant enough to sweep across Hong Kong. So it is better to hold on to our Las Vegas!"

Upon hearing He Chaoqiong's words, Liu Xiaobao frowned.

"If you say that, Miss He, does that mean I'll become the public enemy of all these Hong Kong tycoons?"

He Chaoqiong raised an eyebrow and said, "Is President Bao scared?"

"I'm not afraid. If those tycoons really declare war on me, I'll fight them with all my might. If I lose, I'll just go back to my Huangpu River!"

“Mr. Bao, you really have guts. But you can rest assured. You are different from the He family. The gambling city where the He family is located is too close to Hong Kong. If we were to get involved in Hong Kong, it would make them feel threatened. But the Huangpu River where you are located is far away. They won’t have that concern about you.”

"I was all prepared to fight with all my might, but it turns out Miss He was just trying to scare me!"

Upon hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, He Chaoqiong suddenly smiled and said, "Since President Bao is already prepared, why don't I light the fire for you and help you start this war?"
