Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 340 Lawsuits
"So..." Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded: "The problem discovered by the old professor has not been solved until now?"

"Solved. In the end, the old professor suggested that this should be caused by the calculation accuracy."

"I heard that when ordinary people see the numbers on their accounts, they can only reach the cents at most. However, when the bank calculates the interest based on the interest rate, it is actually accurate to three decimal places, and then according to the rules of rounding, the cents are determined. numbers."

"In the manual case, this precision is absolutely sufficient. Only when the computer uses floating-point calculation logic to process the data, the 'overflow effect' will occur, resulting in a floating-point error in the last digit."

"Under normal circumstances, this floating-point error will not show up. Only when it causes the third digit after the decimal point to be changed from 4 to 5, it will change from the original 'rounding' to 'five rounding', resulting in the increase of the digits. There's a difference of one point."

"..." Zhou Zhi didn't know how to complain: "Is that really the case? How did you solve it in the end?"

"The bank checked the program again and found that the problem really lies here." My cousin smiled: "The solution is very simple, that is to improve the accuracy of the numbers."

"In the end, the old professor proposed that a complete change would have too much impact. The most economical way is to change the interest rate to six decimal places. After the accuracy is improved in this way, the amount can still retain three decimal places."

"Amazing..." Zhou Zhi admired the old professor so much.

"More than that!" Cousin An Ran said cheerfully, "I heard that all major banks have discovered this problem and are revising their own procedures. So even if it's not the national standard, it's almost close."

"I really admire this old professor, so I think I can reconcile if I can. That's it, and I'm worried that he won't like it."

"I don't think we can settle this lawsuit." Zhou Zhi rubbed his chin: "The old professor likes to go to court, so we will accompany him in the lawsuit!"

"What do you mean Elbow? I thought the old professor was getting old, and the lawsuit did not ask for any compensation, but asked to prevent such incidents from happening again..."

"That's why I have to call more. Wait a minute, I'll make a call." Zhou Zhi stood up and walked towards the landline at the desk.

He picked up the phone and dialed a number, and the call got through after a while.

"Hey, Sister Chi, are you asleep? Haven't you slept yet? Don't you know that lack of sleep is the enemy of a woman's appearance? Well, well, well, there is something really happening. I have a very interesting case here... blah, blah, blah, blah. ...Well, that's roughly the case, but the old professor is also a funny person, he... blah blah blah... well, so I think this case is quite interesting, right?"

"Sister, is there any column similar to popularizing the law in our station? Sister Chi, what you said... Isn't your station my station? What else do we share with each other... Well, let's wait for you... Wow you guys Are all media workers night owls? Just wait! Wait any night!"

Putting down the phone, the eldest cousin asked, "Are you calling the host of Chi Da just now? How big of a fuss are you trying to make?"

"Cousin, don't you think this is a good topic?" Zhou Zhi said, "It's very story-like, with several reversals in a row, and there is no clear right or wrong until the end, right? That's it. Call it topical."

"That means you can't tell the winner? Isn't that why you should avoid litigation?" Jin Cancan was very worried: "Our company has just been established, so we can't lose our reputation because of it."

"Sister Cancan, you are overthinking." Zhou Zhi patiently explained: "What is the reason why the old professor wants to sue us now? Is it because our door locks are of poor quality? No, it is because our quality is too good , far exceeding the country's requirements for Class A locks!"

"If this matter is publicized, will it improve or decrease our company's reputation?" Zhou Zhi laughed.

"Usually, when encountering such a lawsuit, the first thing people think of is the vicious profiteer and the low-quality goods, but this time it is not the case. This time it is because the quality is too good to cause the lawsuit. This is the first reversal."

"The second is the target of the lawsuit. If Professor Lu wants to find the final target of the lawsuit, then I, who owns the patent for the security door, can't escape, right?"

Cousin was speechless: "Elbow, why am I so happy to hear your tone? It's an honor to be listed as a defendant, isn't it?"

"Cousin, don't forget, I just turned eighteen." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It was last year when you authorized this factory in Shuzhong to produce security doors, right? I was underage then! No Belongs to a natural person with full capacity for behavior! Is this the second reversal?"

"Yes." Cousin, cousin, and Jin Cancan looked at each other, and then Jin Cancan asked, "Elbow, is there any legal flaw here? As a person with partial capacity, do you need your guardian to know and approve your authorization?" what?"

"It's useless for me to ask, and I'm not a lawyer." Zhou Zhi waved his hand: "If necessary, we will make up, whether it's a phone recording or signing a power of attorney and sending a registered letter with your fingerprint."

"We don't need to go into details too much. In short, the old professor will sue a minor in the end, right?"

"It's roughly like this." The cousin was very thieves, and suddenly came back to the taste: "If the subject of the lawsuit is us, then there is a suspicion of bullying the elderly. In our country, even if you are 1 justified, this It is difficult to get the sympathy of public opinion."

"That's right!" My cousin also understood: "Now it's the other way around, and it's an old man bullying our elbows!"

"Exactly!" Sister Cancan immediately became righteous and compassionate: "Is it easy for us to have an elbow? In order to go to college in the future without spending money from the family, I devoted myself to research and worked hard to figure out two invention patents."

"I don't talk about the ones that don't make much money. I managed to earn a little, and I was grabbed by a retired old professor in a blink of an eye." My cousin also changed her face immediately: "The country has always encouraged young people to specialize in science. Encouraging society to invent and create, but the result is like this, but our family has been wronged to death..."

"It's fine, it's fine..." Zhou Zhi quickly waved his hand: "The most important thing in acting is nature, and those who exert too much force are not good actors. After the public opinion is equal, we will have to rely on right and wrong to win or lose."

"After reviewing relevant laws, regulations and national standards, you will eventually find that for Class A door locks, the country only requires a lower limit, not an upper limit, so we are not wrong, but our standard far exceeds that of ordinary door locks. It's just a regular cap."

"It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, that's a matter for the court. It doesn't matter whether the standards need to be revised, that's a matter for the state."

"For us, there is only one thing..."

Cousin An Xin patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder, and shook off the freshly roasted green peppers: "That's what everyone knows, the quality of our door locks is far beyond the standard! The kind that gives 119 a headache." Exceeded the standard!"

"Big ad!" Sister Cancan and her cousin reacted at the same time, excitedly shouting: "Big free ad!"
