334: Chapter 334 Short Video Software

Chen Guangke rubbed his temples, his tone bordering on collapse:

"You've worked in technology too... Don't you know how difficult and stressful it is to handle two projects simultaneously?"

Wu Ya still insisted on her idea.

"But pressure and difficulty can be overcome!"

"Right now, between the two companies combined, the only viable project we have is Prosperous Appointment. Are you seriously expecting this one project to support two companies?"

Chen Guangke argued back, "Of course, that's not what I meant! You should understand the principle that you can't get fat from one bite."

"They still have Fang Zhizhuo's and Mei Jinning's projects in hand. If you truly want to start another project, we can wait until those two are completed."

Wu Ya gently shook her head.

"By then, it will be too late. We don't have that much time."

Chen Guangke couldn't understand Wu Ya's thinking.

"Our company isn't on the verge of collapse, why are you so anxious? Don't forget, Company Name is still working on an artificial intelligence project!"

Wu Ya retorted, "But the reality is that Prosperous Appointment is the only one with high revenue right now. That artificial intelligence project at Company Name hasn't even finished its first cycle!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

Both of them turned their heads in unison to look at Shen Yan.

Seeing their questioning gazes, Shen Yan pointed to himself with his finger, then raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you two asking for my opinion now?"

Chen Guangke and Wu Ya nodded tacitly.

There was no other way; their ideas were opposed, and neither could convince the other, so they could only ask Shen Yan to choose a side.

After thinking for a good while, Shen Yan replied, "What both of you said has merit. If I absolutely have to choose whose side to lean towards, then I choose Xiao Wu."

"Just as she said, we don't have that much time."

"The sooner we achieve results, the faster the company can move forward."

Since he had already spoken, what more could Chen Guangke say?

He let out a heavy sigh and said to Shen Yan, "Fine. Since you've already said so, let's settle it that way."

"I'll go back and talk to the Technology Department over at Company Name."

Shen Yan nodded.

Once they confirmed they would pursue a third project, the three of them began discussing the direction for the next venture.

Since all three were more skilled in software-type projects, they unanimously decided to develop another piece of software.

"The market for software right now is a hundred flowers blooming. It won't be easy for us to create software that can capture everyone's attention. Do you have any ideas?"

As soon as he said this, both Wu Ya and Chen Guangke immediately fell into deep thought.

They had been busy with other matters recently and hadn't kept up with market research, so they didn't know the current most popular types of software on the market.

However, they assumed that the most popular software types now were probably not vastly different from before.

Thinking this, Wu Ya said to Shen Yan, "I think we could create an internet social networking application. It could handle chatting, video watching, and even small games..."

Before she could finish, Chen Guangke directly interrupted her.

"I don't think that's feasible. There are already applications in this category on the market. People definitely won't abandon the software they are used to just to download ours."

Shen Yan nodded from the side; he felt Chen Guangke had a point.

Even he wouldn't casually abandon a piece of software he was accustomed to using.

With her suggestion rejected, Wu Ya questioned Chen Guangke back, "What about you? Do you have any good suggestions?"

Chen Guangke answered without hesitation, "There are many types of software. We could make a game software."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Ya burst out laughing.

"What kind of joke are you making?"

"Is game software the same as program software?"

"Game software requires not only building the program but also establishing game models, content, and features."

"We haven't done any of that, and we don't have specialized personnel for it!"

Chen Guangke was a bit unconvinced.

"So what if we haven't done it before? We can try! They haven't shied away from trying other fields of software. I think the gaming sector should be quite easy for us to pick up."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Shen Yan quickly tapped the table with his hand and said:

"Alright, although game software is a type of software, developing a game requires too much engineering time, and our company doesn't have dedicated talent assigned to it."

"In summary, game software is not suitable for our current situation, so... think of something else."

Hearing this, Chen Guangke immediately slumped onto the table, saying in a defeated tone, "That won't work, this won't work either, nothing works! I can't think of anything anymore. You figure it out yourself."

Wu Ya looked at Chen Guangke, a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"I only rejected one of your suggestions, do you have to be so discouraged?"

Chen Guangke rolled his eyes.

"You call this discouraged? I call this self-awareness!"

"My brain isn't as agile as yours. Besides technical issues where I can be useful, for other matters, I can at best be a listener. Things like figuring out project direction should be left to you two."

Wu Ya scoffed, "Couldn't you just say directly that you aren't capable enough?"

Chen Guangke got agitated and quickly straightened up, "Not capable? Nonsense! I'm quite capable in my own professional field, okay?!"

Shen Yan couldn't stand it anymore.

These two were like kindergarteners who fought every time they met.

It seemed hopeless to expect a reliable suggestion from either of them.

Thinking this, he took out his phone and browsed the top ten downloaded apps in the app store.

As he looked, he found his target.

"What do you think about us creating an internet creative short video application?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two who were bickering turned their heads to look at him simultaneously.

"Short video software?"

Shen Yan nodded and handed his phone to them.

"These are the top ten downloaded apps in the mobile store."

"I just looked through them one by one and found that short video software has the highest download volume. The most popular short video app currently has a download count of 12 billion."

Wu Ya took Shen Yan's phone and glanced at it.

"Huh, isn't this big fish? I have this app too."

Chen Guangke raised an eyebrow beside her, "Isn't that stating the obvious? Who doesn't have big fish these days?"

Shen Yan: "...I don't."

As soon as he said that.

The conference room fell silent for half a minute.

Chen Guangke looked at Shen Yan in disbelief.

"You don't have big fish?"

Shen Yan forced a wry smile and asked, "I just haven't downloaded that specific app. Can you stop looking at me like I'm a monster?"
