On the last day of '85, Lu Jiaxin closed her positions, selling all the short contracts she held. Having held onto them for over two months, the exchange rate had fallen by 9.5%. Leveraging ten times on a billion greenbacks, she made a profit of 95 million greenbacks. After deducting the financial tax, handling fees, and commission, she still had over 173 million left.
Wu Ziyue reached out and said, "Miss Lu, congratulations to you!"
Lu Jiaxin wanted to continue short selling, but by then, there weren't as many short contracts available for her to purchase.
Wu Ziyue conveyed that he would try to get her a deal with his superiors, "Miss Lu, I can try to get up to 50 million for you, but no more than that, there just aren't enough contracts available."
Lu Jiaxin felt that 50 million was not bad, and she nodded, "That's fine, let's go ahead with another 50 million, still at ten times leverage, just like before."
