Episode 21 recap: Li Li's stock trading has triggered an investigation by an inspection team.
On the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1993, Baoying's big battle officially began. Zhang Mujie led the entire company to show their skills. Unintentionally, as everyone placed orders and entered the stock market, A Bao made a bet of five million yuan on a number. Ling Zi told Tao Tao that once the Tokyo Gate opened tonight, there would be no turning back. They used to rely on General Bao, but now they rely on their own abilities.
A Bao started betting on a number with fifteen million yuan. The Baoying battle officially began, and Mr. Qiang started placing orders. A Bao got rid of the three stocks he held and invested all his funds in stock 603. To avoid attracting Mr. Qiang's attention, A Bao and Commander Cai split their positions, and the people under their command were relatively dispersed. At this time, Min Min, disguised as a pregnant woman, finally squeezed to the front and deposited five million yuan into stock 601. However, stock 601 suddenly stopped trading on the Mid-Autumn Festival and unusual transactions occurred. In order to ensure fairness, the stock exchange temporarily suspended trading for Yingzhou Company's stock 601.
Later, Mr. Qiang's Baolong Technology Company issued an announcement stating that 5% of Yingzhou's stocks were circulating outside the company. He announced to the media that they were the first to enter the new industry. A Bao learned the news and sold all of stock 603 in the afternoon, using all the funds to buy stock 601. However, right after he bought it, the price rapidly dropped. It turned out that Mr. Qiang was undermining General Bao from behind.
This time A Bao lost two million yuan, and Commander Cai blamed him for not listening to Li Li. A Bao specially brought a box of money to Li Li, but he didn't expect to be counterattacked by Mr. Qiang. He considered it as a tuition fee and firmly believed that the stock would rise to 25 yuan. Li Li didn't respond to him but warmly treated him to a dish called "gan chao niu he" (stir-fried beef with rice noodles). From this, he guessed that Li Li was hinting at the price of stock 601 going up to the price of "gan chao niu he."
Commander Cai increased his purchase of stock 601. Later, it was announced that Yingzhou Company was subject to a reverse takeover, and Shanghai stockholders did not want the company to be acquired by Shenzhen. So they jointly purchased the stock and eventually drove the price up to over 30 yuan. In this Baoying battle, Shanghai successfully repurchased A Bao and achieved a complete victory.
Business at Zhenzhen Garden was getting better and better, causing a shortage of parking spaces. Lu Meilin even intentionally squeezed out customers and didn't let them park in front of her door. Meanwhile, Min Min followed Li Li's advice and bought stock 601. At this time, she also had her own car. The situation of Pan Assistant, Min Min, and Li Li taking photos made Little Jiang Xi envy.
That night, Little Jiang Xi took the money given by Mr. Jin and asked Min Min to help her trade stocks. However, Min Min was very cautious because stock trading is risky and she didn't want to involve Little Jiang Xi in something unjust. The next day, Little Jiang Xi went to the securities company alone, aiming for Yingzhou's stock.
At this point, Mr. Qiang began his plan to feed the stockholders before closing. Behind the scenes, A Bao gave Commander Cai orders to keep buying and selling, and Min Min also kept buying and selling. Mr. Qiang, as the manipulator behind the scenes, only left one hundred thousand shares as a memento. Stock market investors helplessly watched as the price dropped from over 40 yuan all the way down.
A Bao made a clean escape and earned a fortune. Meanwhile, Little Jiang Xi lost Mr. Jin's savings in a matter of minutes and walked out in despair. Lu Mei Lin and her husband were causing a scene at the restaurant. Little Jiang Xi went to find Min Min, who was fully focused on being the boss, but unfortunately, she ended up losing everything.
The end of the Baoying battle caught the attention of the authorities, who quickly launched an investigation, focusing on Zhenzhen Garden. A Bao won six boxes of money in this battle. Today was also the day when Yedongjing reopened, but Ling Zi did not invite him. Just as Mr. Qiang finished congratulating Ling Zi and agreeing to attend the event in the evening, he was taken away by the inspection team.
When A Bao arrived at Zhenzhen Garden for the profit distribution, he found that a police officer had come. A Bao left through the back door, and the news of Li Li being taken away by the police officer caused a sensation on Huanghe Road. Lu Mei Lin took pleasure in this situation, while Pan Assistant and Min Min worked hard to calm down the customers and ensure the normal operation of the hotel.
Commander Cai's investigation revealed that the police officer was targeting insider trading at Baoying Company. Fortunately, they had made their purchases well after the market opened, so they were able to clear themselves of suspicion. Everyone was busy with the reopening of Yedongjing. Teacher Ge deliberately asked about the number of reservations for the day, fearing that there would be no customers when they opened, but Ling Zi insisted on not using any connections and said that even if only one person showed up, she would treat them seriously.
Amidst the anticipation of everyone, Ling Zi opened the doors of the restaurant. Li Li was taken to the police station, and both A Bao and Ye Shu tried to gather information about her but to no avail. Ye Shu analyzed that Li Li was not taken by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and Mr. Qiang was also taken away.
The suspicious manipulation of stock prices that benefited Mr. Qiang and Li Li raised doubts. Mr. Qiang did not show any signs of nervousness and instead looked at his watch, realizing that he was about to miss the moment of Ling Zi's reopening.
