Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Proposal

Pei Jingyuan was now too eager to wait, asking Lu Youxi, "When can I start working?"

"Let’s not rush, we still need to get the computers set up," Lu Youxi said with a smile.

"That’s easy, I’ll do the rest!" Pei Jingyuan rolled up his sleeves, ready to start.

Lu Youxi quickly said with a laugh, "Let’s call it a day, and first sort out all the details. If you’re free tomorrow, come and set up the computers with Ji Deyi. I’ll include a bonus for the both of you."

Ji Deyi was about to express his gratitude when Pei Jingyuan, the spendthrift, grandly waved his hand, "What bonus? You’re already giving us computers so we can do our own work; if we still ask for a bonus, we’d really be out of line!"

Ji Deyi: "..."

Felt like he was subtlety being put down.

Lu Youxi asked them both to list their class schedules.

Then to distribute the shift hours between the two of them.

They were left to discuss the shifts among themselves, so no one would have any complaints.

"The night shift salary is double that of the day shift," Lu Youxi mentioned the remuneration she was offering.

Due to the special work situation for the two of them, they were to be paid by the hour.

"The overnight shift is like an internet cafe’s overnight hours, from 10 P.M. to 6 A.M., eight hours. The remaining daytime hours, you’re paid by the hours you work," Lu Youxi told Pei Jingyuan, "Can you create a clock-in system? When you two come to work, clock in; when you leave, clock out, and the system records the length of your work based on your clocked times."

"That’s simple," Pei Jingyuan agreed without hesitation, as such a task was too easy for him. "I’ll get it done today and set it up on the computer."

Lu Youxi nodded with a satisfied smile, feeling great to have such talent on her team.

It also saved the expense of purchasing clock-in equipment.

"By the way, since you’re into software development, have you decided on a direction yet?" Lu Youxi asked.

Pei Jingyuan scratched his head, "I have a few ideas I’m thinking of focusing on one to start with. But these ideas aren’t really mature, there’s no specific and clear goal, which makes them hard to work on. I still need to make a detailed plan."

"I have an idea," Lu Youxi said, lightly tapping her chin, "but I don’t know if you can do it."

Pei Jingyuan didn’t hold much hope for Lu Youxi’s idea.

Novices often don’t understand the feasibility when they make suggestions.

Some are just whimsical, unaware of the challenge to make them reality.

Still, out of respect for his boss, Pei Jingyuan acquiesced and asked, "What’s the idea?"

"You see, our country actually lacks a computer software that integrates information," Lu Youxi began, "The main function a search engine provides to users is the search feature, which allows users to search for their queries or interests, sifting through a vast amount of online information for potential answers. The search engine’s homepage navigation merely directs towards broad categories, like clicking on the news section to search for news, or the books section for books and so on. Besides these navigation entries to secondary pages, the homepage of a search engine also includes a small area for advertisements."

"But for those who are aimlessly browsing the internet without a specific search goal, they can only stare blankly at the navigation page, clicking here and there, checking things out."

Lu Xiaohui nodded vigorously from the side, "That’s true, sometimes I’m bored and don’t know what to do online, so I just blankly stare at the navigation page. Occasionally I go read some novels, but aimlessly browsing makes it hard to find something I like."

Lu Youxi nodded and continued, "So I have an idea, see if you can implement it."

Lu Youxi knew it could be implemented, because Pei Jingyuan had actually done it before.

However, due to lack of support, he only produced a rudimentary version.

It was later purchased by a company to continue development, but they lacked technical expertise and market insight, which led them to deviate from Pei Jingyuan’s solid foundation. Consequently, the software declined and was eventually shut down.

Now, Lu Youxi was proposing a new idea, one that was based on expanding the preliminary version of the software developed by Pei Jingyuan.

"This software could come in a web version and a desktop client. The web version should be popular initially, but as computer technology advances, eventually the field will belong to clients," Lu Youxi explained.

Pei Jingyuan was shocked, "Ji Deyi told me you studied economics!"

How could you analyze this field too?

Lu Youxi’s idea coincided precisely with his own.

Lu Youxi chuckled, "I may not know much about computers, just judging from a business standpoint."

Pei Jingyuan: "..."

An internet cafe owner, standing in an unopened internet cafe, analyzing the future direction of the internet industry from a business perspective.

He doubted anyone would believe him if he told this story.

"So, you need to develop both the web version and the client," Lu Youxi said, "Whether users click on the web or the client, they should be able to infinitely scroll down the page and always find new content presented to them."

"Once users register, they should first choose their interests, and based on that information, relevant content is proactively pushed to them. Then, by linking to search engine big data, further optimization and filtering of users’ interests can be performed, continuing to send more accurate information."

"The interface shouldn’t be traditional secondary page entrances, but should be presented through pictures and videos," Lu Youxi continued, "Upon entering the homepage, images and videos visually push content to the users. Users can also register to post pictures and videos, along with attention-grabbing, relevant titles to draw in other users. The more traffic related topics receive, the more likely it is to attract brand sponsors interested in advertising. This way, users can share their interested topics and earn money."

"But this is challenging and not as easy as picking money up off the street; it requires the users’ own effort. To earn money, users must manage well; the higher the content quality and viewership, the larger the website traffic and quality, forming a cycle," Lu Youxi stated.

Pei Jingyuan listened more intently, his expression growing serious and focused, his eyes brightening.

Because what Lu Youxi proposed was not just wishful thinking; it was indeed feasible.

"If what you’re describing was real, I’d want to use it myself," Xia Jinqiao said, her face full of longing.
