PFC Chapter 287 This... makes sense, is there anything wrong with it?
Chapter 287 This... makes sense, is there anything wrong with it?
But things have come to this point, no matter how difficult it is to calculate, we have to calculate it!
Thinking of this, Xu Zhengchao stretched out his hand to the side.
Shunzi cleverly handed the abacus he was holding for Xu Zhengchao to Xu Zhengchao.
Xu Zhengchao took the abacus, shook it up and down for a while, and then cleared his throat.
"Ahem...what's going on with this account? Can anyone tell me?"
After all, now in the village, apart from Liu Xiong, Xu Zhengchao is the number two person in the village.
His words carry some weight in the hearts of the villagers.
As soon as this question was asked, the first villager who was called out to settle the account immediately jumped up and raised his hand.
Just as Xie Guangkun was about to scold him and tell him to go ahead with his fight, the man was pointed out by Xu Zhengchao.
"Then tell me, carefully!"
After saying that, Xu Zhengchao put his hands on the abacus and got ready.
Seeing this, Xie Guangkun could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Just now he and Liu Nengke had already agreed that Accountant Xu would be in charge of the calculation.
If he was interrupted at this time, Liu Neng would definitely have something to say.
In order to prevent Liu Neng from speaking, Xie Guangkun made a compromise on the person who would describe the incident.
"Okay, Accountant Xu, this is actually quite simple!
Guangkun took Director Liu's car to the town to pick up his son.
Then Liu Neng came to Guangkun to ask for gas money, and the two of them started arguing over how much gas money to give..."
This person wanted to explain the reason for the conflict between Xie Guangkun and Liu Neng, but when he got to this point, he was interrupted impatiently by Xu Zhengchao.
"Alright! Aren't you going to let me settle the score? Can you please make it short?"
Seeing that Xu Zhengchao was angry, the man quickly got to the point.
"It is known that the one-way distance from our village to the town is 23 kilometers. If we calculate the cost by taking the bus as Guangkun said,
When he went there, it was 23 kilometers, and when he came back he brought Yongqiang with him, so that was two 23 kilometers!
Converted into li (li), it is 138 li.
Liu Neng said that Director Liu's car costs 1.2 yuan for one li of gas.
Therefore, according to this calculation, Guangkun should owe Liu Neng one hundred and sixty-five yuan and sixty cents for gas!"
Having said this, the man stopped, looked at Liu Neng, and asked with a smile.
"Brother Neng, am I right in saying this?"
Liu Neng nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that among so many people, only this guy has the same calculation as me.
Seeing Liu Neng nodded, the man continued.
"Accountant Xu, the money I just mentioned is the money that Liu Neng calculated, but Guangkun disagrees!
Guangkun felt that Director Liu should be paid for the bus fare!
A bus ticket costs two yuan, and Guangkun’s round trip ticket costs a total of six yuan!
So, these two are stuck here now!
Accountant Xu, I'm leaving the account to you now!"
The man explained the whole process of the incident as if he was telling a story, and finally returned to the team.
The two versions of the settlement he just mentioned were the true situations he had learned from Liu Neng and Xie Guangkun respectively.
Well, this difficult problem finally returned to Xu Zhengchao's hands.
He had just heard the whole situation.
It can be said that Liu Neng’s calculation was wrong, and Xie Guangkun’s was equally wrong!
He thought about his words before speaking.
The first person to receive his language baptism was Xie Guangkun.
Xu Zhengchao put his hands behind his back, straightened his chest and raised his head, and said with a serious face.
"Guangkun, you are wrong in this matter!
Since you are riding in someone else's car, there is no such thing as charging them for gas based on the bus fare!
The ticket price here is still cheap. If we go to the town and the ticket is 100 yuan, I don't believe you will charge like this!"
"Old Xu, I..."
Just as Xie Guangkun was about to refute, Xu Zhengchao interrupted him.
"Guangkun, I'm not saying anything bad about you!
We grew up together. Tell me, how could you still take advantage of Liu Neng?
We have a big family and a lot of money, so we can afford this little bit of gas money, right?"
"Old Xu..."
Xie Guangkun has basically lost the right to refute.
Whenever he opened his mouth, he would be interrupted by Xu Zhengchao.
After talking for a while about Xie Guangkun's stinginess and love of taking advantage of others.
Xu Zhengchao then turned around, let his hands hang naturally and gently placed on his thighs, facing Liu Neng with a smile on his face.
"Liu Neng, you too, Guangkun and I have been friends since we were little.
Guangkun is taking a ride, how can you calculate the gas money like this?
What you said just now is correct. The gas cost of your Director Liu's car is indeed one dollar and twenty cents per mile. I believe it!
But have you forgotten something?
Director Liu was planning to go to town and happened to meet Guangkun, so he took Guangkun with him!
That is to say, if he hadn't run into Guangkun, he would still have gone to town. Do you think I'm right?"
I just saw Xu Zhengchao scolding Xie Guangkun until he was speechless.
Now when faced with his question again, Liu Neng nodded instinctively.
"Old Xu, you are right!"
Seeing that Liu Neng also agreed with his point of view, Xu Zhengchao felt a little excited.
The rest is easy!
"So, it's wrong for you to settle the bill with Guangkun for all the gas money. Do you think I'm right?"
After listening to this, Liu Neng nodded again.
When it comes to accounting, we still have to rely on Old Xu, who is indeed a professional accountant.
"All right!"
Xu Zhengchao's words "OK" attracted the attention of everyone on the scene.
He then continued.
"Now that Guangkun and Liu Neng both agree with my point of view, let me start to calculate this account now!"
Xu Zhengchao looked at Xie Guangkun who was standing on his left, then looked at Liu Neng who was standing on his right, glanced at the abacus in his hand, and began to read aloud.
"It is known that Xie Guangkun traveled a total of 138 miles from the village to the town and brought Yongqiang back, and the total fuel cost was 165.60 yuan..."
As soon as he read this, Xie Guangkun became angry.
It turns out that everything Xu Zhengchao said to him just now was all nonsense?
Why is the gas still more than a hundred yuan?
However, when he saw Xu Zhengchao's eyes, Xie Guangkun temporarily suppressed his anger and wanted to see what Xu Zhengchao would do next.
If it is still beneficial to Liu Neng, he must have a good talk with Xu Zhengchao!
After glaring at Xie Guangkun, Xu Zhengchao continued reading.
“But there were two people when the car went up, and three when it came back.
That means there are five people in total!"
Originally, this sentence should have said five times, not five people.
But Xu Zhengchao was worried that the villagers would not understand, so he changed it to five people.
The effect was indeed quite good. When the villagers heard the five people, they immediately looked enlightened and nodded, ready to start mental arithmetic.
"So, we divide 165.60 yuan by five people, and the amount we get is the gas fee that one person needs to pay.
This... makes sense, isn't it?"
