Chapter 192: The Eve of the Roadshow

March 3, 1996, a breezy morning.

In front of the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan, the number of police officers was already comparable to New York's New Year's Eve celebration.

It was said that this was ordered by New York City Mayor Giuliani, who personally instructed the police chief to make the arrangements.

As car after car drove in, Wall Street elites residing in the Upper East Side began appearing here in batches.

Inside the venue, representatives from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were engaged in animated discussions with the invited investors.

Tom, also one of the organizers, stood somewhat awkwardly to the side.

"fuck, is this still the United States I know?" Tom muttered to himself, "Why does it seem like most people here have known each other since childhood?"

"The Chairman of NASDAQ, Mr. McDonnell, has arrived," someone whispered.

The representatives from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley exchanged glances and quickly pulled Tom toward the main entrance of the venue.
