Luo Yonghao's entrepreneurial story: meeting a noble person at the corner
Aside from all the subjective comments on the hammer mobile phone, Luo Yonghao at least turned his original "big talk" into a real product. Luo Yonghao recalled the process of starting a business and mentioned two "noble people".
Niu Bo. Com, which started its first business, shut down its domestic servers for various reasons. For the second time, Feng Tang, a best-selling author, raised money and started English training. In two years, the company made a profit, but for Luo Yonghao who was not interested in being a teacher, "once he made money, he had no enthusiasm to continue". Although this entrepreneurial experience ended in nothing, Luo Yonghao believes that after this entrepreneurial experience, he began to know how to drive an enterprise forward.
Just as Luo Yonghao hesitated, Feng Tang pointed out a way for him to be a mass consumer product, which can be considered from the aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Luo Yonghao thinks that mobile phones are a good starting point, and his interest in electronic products can also support his entrepreneurial enthusiasm.
However, making mobile phones faces various problems, such as difficult operation, high capital and uncertain supply chain. Luo Yonghao's friends, former colleagues and investors are all against him taking the risk. Just when Luo Yonghao was about to give up this idea, he chatted with Tang Yan, the founder of Momo, about his idea of making a mobile phone, and Tang Yan unexpectedly expressed his support for his idea. Luo Yonghao recalled that Tang Yan's words at that time strengthened his belief in doing it-"You are 40 years old, and it will be too late if you don't do something you want to do".
Later, Tang Yan also helped Luo Yonghao get investment from Zihui Fund. But what he got at that time was not enough to start the overall plan of mobile phone, so Luo Yonghao decided to start making Rom first, so as to let more people know what he was going to do in the form of a press conference and attract more investment in making mobile phones.
Luo Yonghao's entrepreneurial story: Meizu acquisition event
According to Luo Yonghao, just after the release of Hammer Rom, the money in the first round of financing was almost used up, and the second round of financing was still uncertain, Li Nan, vice president of Meizu, found Luo Yonghao and said that he wanted to talk about cooperation.
Luo Yonghao said that it was impossible for the two companies to cooperate at that time, but out of courtesy, he agreed to meet Li Nan in Beijing.
For details, Luo Yonghao described, "At that time, Li Nan was invited to the office of Hammer Technology, but he was worried that it would be inconvenient to be photographed by the public. Afraid of causing a topic, he set the meeting place in the hotel lobby near Hammer Technology. " When Luo Yonghao and Li Nan met, they discovered that the so-called cooperation was actually Meizu's attempt to "win over" Luo Yonghao's team, and the result could be imagined. Luo Yonghao said that the whole meeting ended in five minutes.
Subsequently, Luo Yonghao made it public in Weibo, which triggered a war of words between him and Li Nan. To Luo Yonghao's surprise, after several rounds of war of words, Li Nan privately sent him a screenshot of Weibo's analysis, and left a message saying that the effect was good, and the two sides could continue such cooperation in the future. Luo Yonghao said he never paid attention to Li Nan again.
Luo Yonghao stressed, however, that he admired Huang Zhang himself, saying that "he has the spirit of a craftsman and the paranoia of doing one thing to the extreme".
Luo Yonghao hammer mobile phone: the future of hammer
Regarding hammer technology, Luo Yonghao said frankly that it is still far from success, but it seems to be successful. He also clearly realized that Hammer Technology benefited from venture capital opportunities and foundry environment.
As a start-up company, Hammer Technology's staffing is becoming more and more perfect. At present, software team 10, design team 20, program code team 70, test engineer and hardware engineer 10. Luo Yonghao revealed that no more than five people voluntarily resigned within two years, and the quality of job resumes received after this mobile phone conference was significantly improved.
For the hammer T 1, Luo Yonghao said that the cost can be recovered when the shipment reaches 300,000, and he promised investors that it will reach 500,000. If it reaches 654.38+0 million, it can be said that the hammer has created a miracle for itself. On this basis, the shipment of the second generation products is expected to be between 1 10,000 and 2.5 million.
Luo Yonghao said that in the future, the hammer will not consider a breakthrough from a technical point of view, and the main focus should be on integrating and utilizing the most advanced technology in the world, and at a certain stage, relevant patents will be registered defensively.
As for the product line, Luo Yonghao revealed that the product plan currently determined by Hammer includes wearable hardware and tablet. For the current TV and router, it may be considered in the future, but the priority will not be high.
