Chapter 567 The front wave and the back wave
Yang Yan suddenly remembered that he was just considering the problems in the video website industry, but ignored that the video website Aunt Hu talked about was not a video website in the traditional sense. It mainly serves middle-aged and elderly people, and is a group that loves square dancing!
"The demand for bandwidth and servers of this website may not be as serious as I thought." Yang Yan said to Aunt Hu, "Because I thought wrongly just now, the frequency of using the website should be less than that of the users of normal video websites."
"Yes, how can we go online very often? They are all old men and ladies, and they just want to make a video website that you young people like to make and put our game videos on. Haha, we also have fans, and they can also ask their children to download and watch it for them, or learn from it. This is also a way to promote our square dance career!" Aunt Hu said happily.
Yang Yan saw from Aunt Hu Siping that she loved square dance and her desire to promote square dance to others.
Yang Yan doesn’t think there is anything wrong with square dance, just like the game is for young people, square dance is as meaningful to middle-aged and elderly people!
When dancing square dance, they can maintain a healthy body, an optimistic spirit, and make friends who come to chat with. This invisibly reduces the burden of taking care of them and accompanying them!
Yang Yan thinks it is a pity that square dance did not become popular in Heyang County in the early years. Now everyone knows the benefits of square dance. Unfortunately, Lu’s mother’s physical condition can no longer bear the tossing.
But seeing that Aunt Hu Siping and her friends are now so active in promoting square dance, Yang Yan couldn't help but feel an inexplicable respect and is willing to provide her with help within her ability.
"In this case, it is indeed a relatively simple video website that can meet your needs." Yang Yan crossed his hands and said sincerely to Aunt Hu, "And, you shouldn't need much money in the early stage."
"Money is not a problem!" Hu Siping said hurriedly.
"No, Aunt Hu, I mean it's unlikely that too many people will be online at the same time or watch videos online frequently. Our server can reduce a lot of expenses. As for the technical maintenance of the website," Yang Yan paused, smiled, and said, "I can complete the entire code of the website, and then I just need to find a few students at Nanyue University who need to earn living expenses through work-study to help with shifts for daily review. Typesetting is enough! I think that in the first year, one million is enough. In the future, we can also charge some high-quality advertising fees, or... in this way, to provide more development funds for the website."
Yang Yan originally wanted to say that the content was charged, but considering the national conditions and the need to promote square dance, he still gave up this idea.
"Xiao Yang, it's so good. Aunt Hu knew that you are a good person and would not cheat people, so she wanted to ask you for help. In fact, the captain of another team had also consulted. Others said they would need at least 10 million yuan to invest. Isn't this a fraud? But you don't have to worry, we won't treat you badly..." Hu Siping said to Yang Yan happily.
"Aunt Hu, there is no hurry to pay for this reward." Yang Yan smiled. The more he said, the more he felt that the inspiration was sprayed out like a spring. "Now what I need to help me determine is, what functions do our website need?"
"What kind of function?" Hu Siping was confused. "Isn't it just that the discs we found to make were placed on, and then people could watch them and people could take them to the machine to watch?"
"I think, since everyone wants to show their team's performance videos, can we add a function to form a dance team? For example, Aunt Hu, the uncles and aunts of your dance team can join your team. In our internal system, we can agree on the time and place of dancing together, and then conveniently send dancing songs to everyone to show the videos, and add the social elements of our website!" Yang Yan smiled, "And after your dance team released the video, you can see how many people watched it, and how many people became fans of your team..."
In fact, Yang Yan's idea was only derived from the team system in the game played by young people. However, after Yang Yan's modification, it was replaced with a dance team system that is more suitable for the communication between the square dance team.
After listening to Yang Yan's description, Hu Siping was overjoyed. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were smiling deeply, and she said with praise: "Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Yang, if you want this, you have this team or something, it's very good, very good!"
"Then what we have to do is not just a website, but also an application software that is suitable for mobile phones. Because Aunt Hu, you said that most uncles and aunts don't know how to use computers, but there should still be mobile phones, right?" Yang Yan said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, who doesn't have a mobile phone these days?" Hu Siping nodded affirmatively.
"But it's not necessarily all smartphones..." Yang Yan started to think about it himself again.
Nowadays, almost everyone has a mobile phone, but Yang Yan has to consider that smartphones have not been fully promoted in society. Among the middle-aged and elderly people, a considerable number of people still use a hundred-yuan senior citizen who can only make phone calls and send text messages!
"However, society is progressing, and smartphones will gradually become popular. Prices are falling. I believe that more elderly people can learn to use smartphones and enjoy the convenience brought by technology!" Although Yang Yan could not predict that the future of the elderly people playing WeChat, he could still see the trend of technological development. While talking to himself, he firmly said to Aunt Hu.
Hu Siping was not sure of her sensation, so she could only follow Yang Yan to smile and nod: "Yes, yes, the phone is really easy to use now!"
"Then I decided that I will write to Aunt Hu first a website program and the installation package of our mobile app. Looking back, I will teach you how to use it. It will definitely be easy to get started!" Yang Yan smiled and said to Aunt Hu.
Middle-aged and elderly people are older and have better acceptance than young people. Yang Yan, who has rich experience in designing and improving application UI, also considered this.
"Just as simple as it is, just simple as it is. I'm afraid of seeing a messy screen. I press this and that, and I don't know how it was made." Hu Siping sighed.
Sometimes people have to accept old age. Yang Yan is now young and strong, with an active brain and strong thinking ability, but he also has to continue working hard. Otherwise, he, the guy who just shot the next wave, may be shot on the beach by a group of small "former waves" again...
