Feng Zhongwei stood beside a young man about thirty years old, this person was tall and thin, wearing a pair of glasses, and he looked like a scholar.

is different from Feng Zhongwei: this guy's clothes and pants are very neat and clean, his hair is made into a three-seven part, the whole person is handsome and capable, and there is a sense of extreme confidence.

"That's right, it's him, he figured out the answer faster than I did in the last street calculation competition."

The young man shook his head and laughed, "You're not kidding me, are you?" This person doesn't look like a master of calculations, does he? ”

Feng Zhongwei sighed, and then introduced to Bai Fan: "This is Mike Liu, the chief actuary of our insurance company. ”

"I graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Stanford University, the Master of Science and the Ph.D. in Mathematics from Princeton University, and was a triple champion of the Mathematical Olympiad in high school, with an IQ of 170. Mike Liu seemed to feel that Feng Zhongwei's introduction was not detailed enough, so he added it again.

"Chief actuary? What is this for? Bai Fan asked puzzled.

"I don't even know this? I said Feng Zhongwei, you must be kidding me, right? Mike Liu smiled and leaned back: "Forget it, I think this trip is in vain." ”

"Mike, don't be like this: I have seen Bai Fan's strength, he is faster than me, and he is by no means in vain."

Hearing what his boss said, Mike Liu had no choice but to look at Bai Fan with a reluctant face and asked, "Then let me ask you: where did you learn this guy's mathematics?" What diploma now? Graduated from a prestigious school in Europe and the United States? ”

Bai Fan shrugged his shoulders: "I haven't been to what you said about Britain and the United States, my mathematics is self-taught or studied by myself." ”

Mike Liu was stunned for three seconds, and then laughed wildly: "What did you say? You've never been to Anglo-American? Are you self-taught? Have you won any awards in mathematics? ”

Bai Fan spread his hands: "Not at all." ”

"And what exactly did you use to teach yourself?" Mike Liu asked, covering his head.

"I learn some traditional Chinese things: such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Zhou Zhen Sutra of Arithmetic", "Four Yuan Yujian" and other books by myself." Bai Fan said with a smile.

"Hehehehe...... Hahahaha! ”

It was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and he couldn't laugh straight.

"It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous! ”

Laughing enough, Mike Liu looked at Bai Fan with a kind of pity: "You actually use those ancient Chinese idiots, incomparably superficial things to teach yourself?" Don't you know that all the developmental achievements in mathematics today are the results of Western research? When it comes to math, the stuff you learn is rubbish! The mathematical aspect of the country is also rubbish! ”

Speaking of this, he also looked at Feng Zhongwei with a critical expression: "When you were in junior high school, I advised you to go out and study: you are still talented in mathematics, but staying in China is to let you lose your talent!" Look at it, do you believe it, and finally stay in China to study in college, what is the final result? If you had gone to the West to learn the most advanced mathematics like me earlier, you might have won two or three Olympiad titles like me! ”

Feng Zhongwei didn't know how to answer, so he could only not speak.

"As for you." Mike Liu pushed his glasses and looked at Bai Fan with disdain: "Originally, today I heard Feng Zhongwei say that there is a kid who is faster than him, and I really want to come and see it, but now it seems that you are not qualified to compete with me at all!" The Chinese are mathematically a mess of garbage! It has been developed for thousands of years, and no one has more research results in hundreds of years! What kind of ancient can you learn from it, and what are you capable of? Who qualifies me to compete? ”

Feng Zhongwei listened to Mike Liu's words, frowned and wanted to dissuade him, but he couldn't help but didn't say much, but looked at Bai Fan's reaction.

"Well, Mr. McLiu, I have a question now: How did you come up with this strange name?" Bai Fan asked.

Mike Liu laughed: "I thought you were going to ask me something. Well, actually, my surname is Liu, but after I arrived in the West, I was deeply impressed by the intellectual culture of the West, so I renamed me McLiu, and I liked the name very much. ”

"Obviously, it's a native who takes a foreign name, won't your father scold you for forgetting your ancestors if he knows?" Bai Fan sneered: "Okay, I know, you're just comparing math with me, right?" If you want to compare, you can compare, how to compare? ”

Mike Liu shook his head and sneered: "What I like to call is my own business, my father and my grandfather can't control it!" It's called personal freedom! IMHO, this is also a part of the country that I hate so much: a complete lack of attention to the right to individual freedoms! ”

"As for the game? Do you think you are qualified to compete with me? Forget it, I'm too lazy to insult you, and I don't want to waste my time. ”

With that, he was ready to leave.

"Hehe, just slip away? Always show what you're capable of. ”

Bai Fan's smile had turned into a sneer.

"What else are you going to do?" McLiu looked disdainful.

"This is my restaurant, and customers will be coming soon. Let's settle the score. ”

"Reckoning?" Mike Liu was a little confused.

"There will be a lot of guests coming in a while, you just have to stand here." Bai Fan patted the small desk that Mei Zhu used to settle accounts.

"There are 24 tables, numbered 1-24, and each table orders a different dish, so you need to listen to what is being ordered at each table at any time, and then report it to the kitchen and record it, and when the guest calls for the accounting, you immediately report the correct checkout number to the customer, and then wait for the next table customer, it's simple, right? Since you're an actuary, it shouldn't be easier to do the math, right? You play for an hour, and then your opponent plays for another hour to see who gets the most right. ”

Mike Liu was a little confused.

Actuaries are a very scarce profession, and the main studios use a variety of correct algorithms to calculate the correct numbers: for example, actuaries calculate whether the security is proper, how much the insurance company has to return after the expiration date is reasonable, how much the insurance business costs to make money, and so on.

As for this kind of thing, McLiu really hasn't done it.

"What? You and this awesome actuary still don't know how to settle accounts? If it really doesn't work, forget it, just act as if nothing happened just now. Bai Fan continued to run.

“…… Good! In order to convince you bastard, Lao Tzu will come to you today to collect the account! Mike Liu had a fierce expression on his face: "Just let you see how good I am!" ”
