On the day of the first lecture on March 15, 2025, in the snowy spring, the "Mergers, Acquisitions and Reorganization" course was officially launched in Classroom 207, Boxue Building, w88 casino, with masters from various majors from the w88 casino of Finance participating in the study. At the beginning of the course, Professor Cao Shinan gave a brief introduction to the central positioning, research directions and teaching experts of the M&A and Reorganization Research Center, and raised expectations for the students participating in the course to "have a global perspective on M&A and reorganize China's power." On the first day of the course, two industry authorities, Zhang Baowen and Guo Xiaoxing, were specially invited to give lectures together. Mr. Zhang Baowen is a director of China Chengtong Hong Kong Co., Ltd. He has 20 years of experience in central enterprise management. He has participated in the reorganization and integration of hundreds of enterprises, involving more than ten industries. His research results won the first prize for outstanding achievements in the reform and development of Chinese enterprises.
"What is the largest merger, acquisition and restructuring in Chinese history?" Zhang Baowen's question immediately aroused strong interest among the students. In the course "Introduction to Mergers, Acquisitions and Reorganizations", Mr. Zhang Baowen systematically elaborated on "the basic concepts, purpose, significance, important links and artistic connotations of mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations". Through the analysis of domestic and foreign classic cases, he revealed the difficulties in strategic design, valuation negotiation and integration in M&A transactions. From the dual perspectives of policy orientation and market demand, he analyzed the key role of M&A and reorganizations in optimizing resource allocation and promoting industrial upgrading. He built a clear cognitive framework for students based on practical experience and explained in simple and easy-to-understand terms. He also raised expectations for students to "have vision, courage, tactics, and knowledge." He hoped that students would lay a solid foundation, broaden their horizons, and become "experts" first, and then "experts." When telling the story of his comrades who sacrificed their lives while guarding the border, the veteran's voice trembled slightly: "Behind the reorganization of resources is the responsibility of humanity, just as soldiers protect the territory, entrepreneurs should protect the safety of industry." In the solemn room, the feelings of family and country and business wisdom achieved a profound resonance.

Sparks of thinking burst out in the question and answer room, and the spirit of youth was fully demonstrated in the logical confrontation. The laughter and applause that erupted when opinions collided circulated in the classroom like a tide, injecting humanistic warmth into rational thinking. The falling spring snow in the twilight added poetry to the course, and what was more moving than the snow was the educational sentiments of the guests. Zhang Baowen even gave a signed copy of "From 1.0 to 2.0 - Asset Management Theory and Practice" to the students who asked the best questions, so that the fire of knowledge can continue to be passed on. In subsequent courses, from the optimization of sand table deduction rules to the invitation of practical instructors, these voices will gradually take root.
