Chapter 1287: Chapter 440: A Day Destined for the History Books

The world hasn’t gone into chaos yet, so for now, we need to develop step by step.

Under Jack Morgan’s mediation, Donnie and the Rothschild family’s grievances were temporarily put aside.

The next thing to do is to get Deep Sea Bank listed!

On this day, the entire Wall Street felt as though a big battle was imminent.

Christina Borton is a waitress in a Wall Street café, and most of her clients are those securities brokers from Wall Street.

Today, while at work, Christina Borton kept glancing toward the door, as if she were waiting for someone.

In fact, she was indeed waiting for someone, a securities broker named Bass Orlando.

Bass Orlando is a young guy, having just joined Wall Street for less than a year. Every day he buys a cup of coffee from the café where Christina Borton works.

Over time, the two got to know each other well.

Christina Borton really likes this handsome guy, Bass Orlando. One morning, she wrote her rental house’s phone number on Bass Orlando’s coffee cup.

They have already been on two dates.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Christina Borton felt a bit anxious. She knew Bass Orlando as a punctual person, but today he was already late.

“Borton, stop dazing, the clients are waiting!”

Another waitress reminded Christina Borton.

Only then did Christina Borton react, realizing that there were visibly more customers in the café today than on normal days, and each person’s face showed an expression of nervous anticipation.

“Sir, could you tell me what’s happening today? Why are you all different than usual?”

While serving coffee to other customers, Christina Borton couldn’t suppress her curiosity and asked.

“Deep Sea Bank is getting listed today!”

The other person was also a regular at this café, and considering Christina Borton is indeed a pretty girl, the customer replied even though he seemed in a hurry.

“Deep Sea Bank is getting listed?”

Christina Borton repeated, knowing a bit about Deep Sea Bank, not from the newspapers, but from the words of frequent customers here and from Bass Orlando.

She knew Deep Sea Bank was the largest unicorn company in the U.S., about to go public, with every securities firm on Wall Street eyeing the news of its listing.

Even Bass Orlando had told Christina Borton before, that if they could buy shares of Deep Sea Bank, they would strike it rich and could immediately buy a house in New York!

Hmm, young people in New York also need a house!

“Since that’s the case, just buy it!”

Christina Borton, after hearing Bass Orlando’s words, nonchalantly said. In her view, as a securities broker of a securities firm, buying some Deep Sea Bank stock should be pretty easy for Bass Orlando, right?

“Easy? You’re overthinking it. Deep Sea Bank is only releasing 70 million shares this time, which seems like a lot, right? But in reality, these stocks have already been eyed by major securities firms on Wall Street and every major consortium in the U.S. Ordinary people simply can’t buy them; you’ll have to wait for the second round of sales, and by then, no one knows how much Deep Sea Bank’s stock price will rise.”

Bass Orlando’s response surprised Christina Borton; it was the first time she heard that wanting to buy stocks could mean not being able to get them.

While Christina Borton was pondering over this, a young man with messy hair rushed in.

Seeing him, Christina Borton directly handed him the coffee she had already prepared. Just when others were about to express dissatisfaction, they saw the young man give Christina Borton a peck on the cheek, leaving them speechless.

“I probably can’t have lunch with you today; let’s talk about everything tonight when we get home!”

Bass Orlando casually said to Christina Borton before leaving.

Watching Bass Orlando leave, Christina Borton shook her head slightly. She didn’t understand, since the listing of Deep Sea Bank had nothing to do with ordinary people like them, why was Bass Orlando acting like he was going to war.

If Bass Orlando could hear Christina Borton’s thoughts, he would definitely give a wry smile.

The listing of Deep Sea Bank indeed has nothing to do with ordinary people like them, but how could those high-up people personally get involved in operations? In the end, it will still be people like them doing the work, right?

Just like Bass Orlando, he indeed couldn’t buy Deep Sea Bank’s stock, but he still had to do all sorts of preparation work, so when the stock market opens today, he would charge ahead for his boss.

If they really manage to snag Deep Sea Bank’s stock, he could also earn some bonuses.

So last night, Bass Orlando stayed up late reviewing various materials, aiming for success today; as a result, he got up late today due to the late-night work yesterday.

Fortunately, he wasn’t late!

When Bass Orlando rushed into the company, all the rows of workstations were already filled with people, each desk equipped with two to three telephones. Also, on one side of each workstation was a large blackboard, displaying the closing prices of various listed companies from yesterday afternoon.
