Pei Qian continued to read the work reports sent by the various departments after sending Liang Qingfan off.
Most of the projects were still in the development phase and he could not see too many clues. Thus, Pei Qian only took a cursory look.
It was not the critical moment before the project was completed and the product was released. Pei Qian could at least slack off for more than a month.
At that moment, Pei Qian flipped through a report and noticed a department that he had not paid attention to for a while.
Yu Pingan was in charge of the Useful App.
"Yes, it's really a good department that doesn't have a strong sense of existence but is responsible and can really help me share my worries at the same time!"
Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional after reading the work report sent by Yu Pingan.
Yu Pingan had been working hard to advance the relevant work ever since the establishment of the Useful App.
It started with Handong University, poetry and ancient literature, and gradually expanded to other universities and other professional fields in the country.
After that, the Useful App also started working with Bunny Tail Live-Stream. It selected those with clear thinking and better eloquence from these young scholars and recommended them to Bunny Tail Live-Stream to teach ordinary audiences. It was mainly to popularize some basic knowledge.
At the same time, the content of these lectures would also be edited and subtitled by professionals. It would be preserved on Bunny Tail Live-Stream in the form of a public lecture for everyone to watch repeatedly.
The form of the Useful App had basically been fixed since its creation. The next task was to keep filling it with content.
However, this was definitely not a task that could be completed overnight.
It might be a knowledge-based website but the knowledge inside needed many scholars to input in bit by bit. Yu Pingan and the others also needed to connect professionals in various fields one by one.
To put it bluntly, this was a knowledge website, but completing it was a huge physical task.
Up until now, the completion rate of the initial field of ancient poetry had reached a relatively high level. The relevant information and content of those famous poems could already completely satisfy the needs of most ordinary people.
As a website that was mainly targeted at ordinary people, the Useful App did not need to be as profound as an academic journal. At least not now.
Therefore, up until now, the completion rate in this field could be roughly written as 80%.
However, this did not mean that the personnel in the relevant fields had completed 80% of the work. This only meant that this section had basically achieved its initial goal.
But in addition to these famous poems, there were also a large number of less famous poems and articles. Even the same article, with the advancement of academic research, the analysis of it was also constantly added, deleted, and upgraded.
The relevant young scholars could continue to enrich the content, or expand in a certain specialized direction, and this work could be completely lifelong.
Apart from that, Yu Pingan was also expanding into other areas. However, the way he was expanding was slightly disorderly.
He couldn't be blamed. After all, the purpose of the Useful App was to "collect all useful knowledge and popularize it to ordinary people in an easy-to-understand way."
There were too many directions to choose from, and Yu Pingan was more or less at a loss. Most of the time, he was busy setting up the framework and advancing in multiple fields simultaneously.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with the current situation of Useful App.
Its presence was not very strong. This software might have been officially launched a long time ago, and Tengda Life App, Bunny Tail Live-Stream, and other industries had also introduced a large number of users to it, but the number of active users was still a long way from being "popular".
Many students might be using it, but they were still a minority group. Their time and spending power were very limited.
For others, Useful App would be a very practical software even if they wanted to consult relevant information. However, such a need did not appear often.
For ordinary people, it was already very good to log in two or three times a year.
This was also in line with Pei Qian's initial prediction: Useful App would be a grand and long project. It would not be a threat in the early stages.
Of course, the combination of Useful App and Bunny Tail Live-Stream had caused a certain amount of popularity. However, this popularity was mainly directed to Bunny Tail Live-Stream. It was not much help to Useful App.
It might not be very popular but Useful App had really helped Pei Qian spend a lot of money.
Yu Pingan dutifully spent all his monthly funds without leaving a single cent. He would even submit a report every few days and apply for additional funds.
"That's great. Since that's the case, allocate more funds!"
"Yu Pingan, why did you create Tengda Life App in the first place if you're so capable? You should have created Useful App long ago. "
"Yes, deciding to let Yu Pingan take the lead in developing Useful App is the best decision I've ever made!"
"… In addition to funding, I have to answer his questions a little."
In this report, Yu Pingan not only introduced the current situation of Useful App but also raised a question.
Specifically, he hoped that Boss Pei could give a suggestion on the direction.
What direction should Useful App choose next?
That was because there were too many areas that could be done. Yu Pingan did not have difficulty choosing, but it was still difficult for him to choose.
Pei Qian gently rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.
According to his idea, he would definitely hope that Yu Pingan would be a hammer in the East and a stick in the West. He would mess around in every field and not stand out in any field.
It was just like a forest. If a tree grew especially tall and broke the world record, it would quickly attract attention. However, if all the trees grew equally, no one would notice that the forest was becoming taller at an extremely fast speed.
That way, the possibility of Useful App becoming popular could be minimized, and this time node could be delayed as much as possible to burn more money.
However, he could not say it too straightforwardly. It would seem very strange. He had to express it in another way.
After considering the wording, Pei Qian replied: "There is no need to stick to a single direction; observe more and chase some hot spots appropriately, but not the hot spots that are commonly seen on the Internet."
Although this statement seemed a bit vague, Pei Qian felt that the meaning that should be expressed was expressed. Whether he could understand it or not depended on Yu Pingan's comprehension.
There was no need to stick to a single direction, which meant that Yu Pingan could spread out a little bit and do many fields, but it would not be too prominent and attract unnecessary attention.
Observe more and chase some hot spots. In fact, he hoped that Yu Pingan could not dig deep in a field and struggle for too long. He would chase a hot spot when he saw one and change it when there was a new hot spot. He could further reduce the possibility of success of Useful App if he dabbled in every field.
Of course, chasing hot spots would inevitably bring a problem, and that was to ride on the popularity.
Therefore, Pei Qian added another sentence for Yu Pingan not to ride on the common hot spots on the Internet. It was best to choose some small hot spots.
This kind of hot spots were many and mixed, quite fragmented, and would not get any popularity. It was the ideal choice in Pei Qian's mind.
In this way, even if Useful App was developed, it would most likely continue to run to a niche platform, and there would not be the possibility of a sudden explosion.
It could be said to be multiple insurance.
Pei Qian carefully sorted it out again and felt that this hint was quite scientific. There should not be any outrageous misunderstanding, so he clicked the [Send] button.
"Okay, today's work is over. Time to get off work!"
Pei Qian stretched and was ready to eat something good to reward himself for his hard work.
…
At the same time, Yu Pingan was thinking hard in front of the computer.
A person who did not have difficulty choosing was almost forced to have difficulty choosing by work.
With the development of Useful App, there were more and more ways to choose.
Although Yu Pingan had fully spread the knowledge construction in various fields through cooperation with the university, there must always be a specialized direction like ancient poetry before.
However, Yu Pingan screened at least a dozen fields that could be specialized in. How to choose was really a headache.
Therefore, he mentioned it in the work report, hoping that Boss Pei could solve his doubts.
Although the problem would definitely be solved if Boss Pei took action, Boss Pei was busy with work after all and might not be able to find time.
Yu Pingan did not have much hope for this.
At this moment, he received a new work email, and it turned out to be a reply from Boss Pei!
"Sure enough, no matter how indifferent he seemed before, Boss Pei will definitely take action at the right time when I need guidance the most!"
Yu Pingan was overjoyed and immediately clicked to check.
"A total of two sentences, but it did not directly say which direction to choose …
"As expected, it is Boss Pei's usual style. He proposes a direction of guidance, but he will not be too specific to limit the performance of the person in charge.
"More information has to be dug up by myself so that I can improve my ability to think independently and keep up with Boss Pei's thinking."
Yu Pingan began to seriously figure out the deeper meaning behind Boss Pei's two sentences.
"Don't stick to a single direction, it must be for the current overall strategy of Useful App. As a platform dedicated to providing professional knowledge in all fields, the overall framework must be set up in the early stage, and then slowly perfected.
"This coincides with what I am doing now. It is a kind of affirmation and support for my work.
"Then the key should be in the latter sentence.
"Chase hot spots appropriately, but don't chase the common hot spots on the Internet.
"What does this mean …?"
Yu Pingan frowned slightly, vaguely realizing that this should be the key to the problem.
After all, there was a key to the interpretation of Boss Pei: there must be a deep meaning in everything that is unreasonable.
On the surface, this seemed to be encouraging Yu Pingan to go to those less well-known hot spots.
However, this did not make sense!
Because the behavior of going to the hot spots itself was for popularity. To go to the hot spots, but not to go to the biggest popularity. Wasn't this the same as not being able to keep up with the heat?
"Ahem, I can't think of Boss Pei like that." Yu Pingan quickly stopped his dangerous thoughts.
Therefore, Boss Pei definitely did not mean that, but there was another deeper meaning.
Yu Pingan began to analyze seriously.
