Rise of the Poor

Chapter 168: This is all OK

Views:

Zhu Pingan glanced at everyone's reactions and raised his lips slightly, "Actually, my method is very simple, similar to the way I cracked an egg just now. A magical tool for reading books."

After what happened with the cooked eggs just now, these accountants no longer dared to underestimate Zhu Ping'an, but they also did not believe that there would be such an easy way to detect false accounts.

Looking at the accountants who were talking and chatting among themselves, Zhu Ping'an raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I know you all don't believe it. If it were me, I wouldn't believe it either. However, there is no such absolute thing in the world. This method was also obtained by chance from a senior master named Ford when I was taking the college entrance examination in Yingtian."

At this point, Zhu Pingan paused, and said with a little embarrassment, "In fact, I also spent a lot of money, so I can make this method public to all the seniors, but you are all the masters of the accounting world, and your wealth is not comparable to that of a poor kid like me in the mountain village. I think you will definitely not let me return empty-handed. Although talking about money is vulgar, but the accounting office, how can I avoid checking the accounts."

"Of course, it must be after the method is verified." Zhu Pingan added lightly.

In fact, I didn't have such an idea at first, but I was a little unhappy with the attitude of these accountants towards me just now.

Besides, why not use intellectual property rights to get some returns? My brother is getting married, and I have to take the exam in the future. Why not help my parents reduce their burden? Moreover, I first proposed Benford's law in the Ming Dynasty more than four years ago, which should have appeared in the 20th century. It can be regarded as a contribution to Chinese mathematics. I don't know whether this Benford's law will be called the Ping An law in the future. Haha, if the foreigners in the 20th century find that China proposed this law more than four years ago, what will be their reaction? It must be very interesting.

"If your method is really feasible, then so what?" The accountant with gray hair stroked his beard and said leisurely, but there was still doubt in his eyes.

"That's right. We are not cheapskates."

"Tell me what you want to say first. I don't believe there is such an easy way."

The reactions of the other accountants varied, but they were all filled with deep suspicion.

Zhu Pingan smiled and shook his head, then spoke calmly. "This method is very simple. In fact, you only need to take the account book and look at the numbers in the account book. From a bunch of data from real life, the number with 1 as the first digit appears about 10% of the total number of all numbers. The later the number, the fewer the numbers appear at the beginning. The number of times six or seven digits appear together is less than 20%. As long as there is a big discrepancy, it must be a fake account."

After hearing Zhu Ping'an's method, the accountants burst into laughter. How is this possible? This is a joke. He is totally treating the account book as a joke.

The accountants, who had originally had high expectations, were now deeply disappointed.

"Shouldn't the numbers at the beginning be the same? Who said that 1 has to appear? It's so random..."

The accountants had mixed complaints.

However, this situation was completely within Zhu Ping'an's expectations.

"Yes, that's my reaction at first. It goes against people's intuition: shouldn't the number of numbers starting with the same number be the same? But think about it carefully. Starting from 1, going through 1, 2, 3... 9, and ending at this point, the number of numbers starting with any number is the same, but after 9 it's 10 to 19. At this point, the number of numbers starting with 1 is much higher than the other numbers. And before the next number starting with 9 appears, there must be a number starting with 2, 3, 4,... , 8. If this counting method has an end point, the number starting with 1 will generally appear more often than 9."

"So, in the data in the account book, the number with 1 as the first digit appears about % of the total number, and the number of occurrences of the numbers further down the list decreases. The account book that violates this rule is definitely a fake account."

"If you don't believe it, you can find some other account books and try them out to see if they are true or not."

Zhu Ping'an looked confident and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice. At this moment, he seemed to be a military advisor instructing the troops, with a feather fan and a scarf, talking and laughing, and destroying the powerful enemy.

The accountants talked about it a lot, but still didn't believe it.

"Dad, why don't you just take our family account book and give it a try? There's nothing to lose. If he makes up something, I'll scold him!"

The scheming girl walked up to the rich man Li, pouted her lips, and took Li's arm with her delicate hand and started shaking it.

Mr. Li was only shaken twice, then he waved his hand and asked accountant Wang to bring some account books.

Accountant Wang went out for a while and came back with a stack of account books, about five or six in total.

As soon as the scheming lady Li Shu entered Wang's accountant's office, she rushed forward and snatched the thing away. Then she took two steps towards Zhu Ping'an, glared at him hard, and pressed him into her arms.

"If you mess around, you'll be in trouble!"

Miss Li glared at Zhu Ping'an vigorously, groaned, and twisted her slender waist to leave Zhu Ping'an with a proud back view.

You are so arrogant, how can you get married

Zhu Ping'an complained in his heart.

After receiving the account books, Zhu Pingan divided the six account books equally among the accountants and said with a simple smile:

"Now that things have come to this, you seniors may as well give it a try. If there is any mistake, Ping An is willing to accept the loss."

Just give it a try.

When the results come out, you will find no excuses for Xiao!

The accountant just went along with it and started to calculate by flipping through the account books. He calculated the account book that Zhu Ping'an handed to them according to Zhu Ping'an's method, and then took two more account books to check and started to calculate them.

In less than half an hour, the accountants had finished calculating the accounts.

Then, they all became confused, with an expression of disbelief, their faces flushed, their hands holding the account books trembling a little, I don't know if it was because they were excited to get a way to check the accounts, or because they were ashamed of misunderstanding Zhu Pingan just now...

"Oh my god, the ones we just brought in are all around 10%, and these accounts are only around 10%..."

"That's true..."

"How strange..."

"I have a few more account books here. I'll try again."

After a while, Zhu Ping'an's crossbody bag was bulging with money, a lot of silver coins of two taels, many ten-tael silver notes, and even a fifty-tael silver note, which the gray-haired old accountant had forced on Zhu Ping'an with shaking hands. Zhu Ping'an couldn't refuse, and when he pushed, the old accountant glared at him, saying, "Are you saying that I'm blind and don't know what's good?" ...

Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to accept all the orders. These people are really honest.

!

Bao, who was standing next to him, looked at the accountants who had originally laughed at Zhu Ping'an, and now were scrambling to stuff silver and banknotes into Zhu Ping'an's hands, with their mouths opened into an O shape.

It turned out that she was sold out, and she was even helping this bad guy count money!

The black-bellied girl's eyes lit up, but when she saw Zhu Ping'an's silly smile as he touched his schoolbag, she couldn't help but roll her beautiful eyes.

What a loser! (To be continued.)
