As he is chauffeured across midtown Manhattan to get a haircut at his fatherâs old barber, his anxious eyes are glued to the yuanâs exchange rate: it is mounting against all expectations, destroying Ericâs bet against it. Eric Packer is losing his empire with every tick of the clock. Meanwhile, an eruption of wild activity unfolds in the cityâs streets.
