CHAPTER 134: TWINKLE
Holding the documents handed in by the design department, Wu Zairong read them carefully. As the work progresses, the time has come to decide on the name and logo of the software.
How important a catchy, easy-to-remember, and curious name is to a social software, and Wu knows it.
The importance of a trademark with a personality does not need to be mentioned, because in many cases, it represents the sincerity of the software.
The second work. No matter how you say it, you have to give her a good name, and you can't live up to the time when your dead brain cells fly away.
TwitterοΌ Because the logo of the design is a bird, the name is a bird call? No, it's a bit unusual. Wu Jae-young drew a pencil on this.
WechatοΌ The name is good and memorable. It's just that this software doesn't mean that. Because it felt a little weird, Wu Zairong also crossed out this.
InstagramοΌ To be honest, when he saw this name, Wu Zairong had a little heartbeat. However, after seeing the trademark, this heart-warming sound disappeared. He's going to be more than just a picture-sharing site.
After rejecting several names like LINE and KAKAOTALK, Oh Jae-young finally found a plan that he was completely satisfied with.
γTwinkleγγ
As an English language, it itself has the meaning of shining, twinkling. With the starry sky-like logo, it is really eye-catching.
The word itself is no slouch for the beauty of Twinkle. The British Council asked more than 7,000 English learners in 46 countries to give their opinions on the most beautiful words in the English language, and Twinkle is one of the top 70 words.
If you take this name, it also symbolizes that this software is like the brightest star, twinkling in the sky of the Internet.
That's it, Wu Zairong made a decision directly.
There is no need to have another time-wasting meeting, as long as it is his opinion, no one in the company dares to object. The whole company was originally his word.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
8 November 2005, 8:40 a.m. Mokdong, inside the meeting room of the Rong Club.
Meeting, the final meeting about the launch of Twinkle.
Sitting in his office, Oh Jae-young stared at the time, looked at the twinkle sign, and waited for the final moment to come.
He's stepped down as president, so he doesn't need to go to the final meeting.
After the launch, if it is successful, no, it will definitely be successful, and the attention of Twinkle will skyrocket. If you are still the president, the possibility of exposure will become quite large.
Oh Jae-young didn't want that to happen, so he stepped down.
The new president, Liu Dingchang, is a talent he recruited with a high salary, and he is very capable. This means that for a long time afterward, Wu Zairong no longer has to worry about RONG's affairs.
It was eight fifty-seven, Wu Zairong turned off the computer and looked intently at the clock in front of him.
Without any other thoughts, Wu Jae-young just read the seconds. There is no panic, no excitement, no emptiness, no wrinkles, only calm. Because he has done his best.
On November 8, 2005, at 9 o'clock, Twinkle was officially launched.
Listening to the cheers coming from the direction of the conference room, Wu Zairong showed a sincere smile.
It's hard to say for sure if it's great, but it's a successful product that was born in this company.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
RONG's affairs alternated, and the song was over, so I thought I could be free, but the world is often not as beautiful as I imagined.
After a few days of relaxation and a few meetings with friends, Wu Zairong began to get busy again. Busy running around various music studios, that is, busy making money.
If you don't make money, you can't do it. When the software was officially launched, Wu Zairong understood what the bottomless pit of swallowing money was.
The bonus for the successful release of the software, the maintenance of the normal operation of the twinkle, the publicity in order to expand the market, and the uninterrupted research and development of the twinkle update, there are also the personnel of the design department who have to be supported. The funds, like flowing water, flowed out one by one.
Registered capital? That stuff was spent back in the R&D phase.
I thought that a lot of three billion deposits were also being swallowed up by the gold-swallowing monster of Twinkle at an unimaginable speed. No way, this is necessary to ensure that the company can continue to operate at high speed.
In fact, a week after the launch, because of Twinkle's competitive performance, some venture capitalists have come to the door, hoping to carry out Series A financing, but how could Wu Zairong agree.
The value of Twinkle, how could he not have known the value of this proposed and creator.
Now, it's not time to grow by leaps and bounds and need the help of other companies. During this period, accepting any investment and ceding any bit of equity is a loss. Moreover, Wu Zairong expected that it would be hundreds of billions of losses.
Therefore, in addition to the part of the shares that promised to reward employees, Wu Jaerong guarded Twinkle's shares like a miser.
Therefore, in order to ensure follow-up funds, Wu Zairong had to sell a large number of songs that had been piled up before.
In addition to the singers who are in need, almost all major companies have bought his songs as hoards.
The most is still the owner YG. President Yang has complained to him more than once why he wants to sell so many songs at once, and the company can't eat them all for a while, so he can watch those good songs flow to other companies.
In fact, sorting out the songs he has written and putting those that do not conform to his style, especially those songs from three years ago, is also Wu Zairong's need as a musician. Not only projects, but also musical works are said to be time-sensitive and popular, and they will gradually depreciate over time.
Because he has successively created high-quality songs such as [Blue], "Like a Shot", and also created popular songs such as "Fiction" and "Don't Call", Wu Zairong can be regarded as a popular singer.
And this is just a song he wrote for himself, and his convincing power is inevitably a little low, but the song "I'm Not Laughing" he wrote for Leessang, the song that made waves in the HIPHOP world, justified his name again.
It was under such circumstances that Wu Zairong added nearly 900 million deposits to his account with more than a dozen songs. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many songs released, which led to the depreciation of songs, he would have continued to release songs.
The master of singing, that's what the music industry calls him.
And the people, especially Rongguang, will be pleasantly surprised to find that although Wu Zairong is no longer singing, Wu Zairong's name appears in their sight not less frequently.
This song, well, is pretty good. Flipping through the composer, Oh Jae-young, oh, I know, it's the guy who sings "Like a Shot". A young girl found out this when she listened to her idol's song and checked the information.
That song, too, is very good. The boy who loves HIPHOP turned to Wu Zairong's name, and he is the one who sings "Invincible in the World", and the song is very well written.
In this way, although he did not appear on the real-time search list, his attention has always been not low. Some people even say that it won't be long before he grows up for a while, and he will become the number one composer in Korea.
With high attention, coupled with the intentional publicity of the glory, Wu Jaerong's fan team has grown again. And the growth of fans allowed Wu Zairong to make up for this only flaw and officially entered the ranks of first-line artists.
In terms of CF, he received less, but there was still an income of about 170 million. No way, who let the first half of the year take too much, a lot of CF overlapped with the CF field in the first half of the year, although the contract price was higher, but he couldn't default.
As for the share of commercial performances, OST and singles, the company has not yet counted them. To be precise, it's not yet time to divide the spoils.
And this earned money has become the fuel for the twinkle, pushing it forward.
Everything looks good.
Except that after making so much money, you can't be arrogant to entertain.
PS (I originally wanted to be three more.,Time doesn't allow.,There's a lot of things in this month.,But the second middle school will try to make up for the chapters that are owed before.γ
I didn't ask for leave yesterday, so I broke off, I'm really sorry. οΌ
Thank you for your support even if you are smiling like a warm face.
