Who is Luo Yonghao?
He has too many identities: English teacher, principal, speaker, entrepreneur...
His diverse talents have created his diverse identities.
Luo Yonghao has a temperament that is incompatible with this era. He is rebellious, persistent, tough, true, and dares to speak and act.
Luo Yonghao grew up from a social gangster to a famous teacher with an annual salary of one million, and then resolutely resigned to start a business. At his worst, he owed 600 million in foreign debt.
I once wanted to jump down and be done with it. Thinking of my family, I gritted my teeth and still insisted on the dream in my heart, step by step out of the darkest moment of my life.
01. Coming to this world was an accident
Luo Yonghao was born in Helong County, Jilin in 1972. Before he was born, there were already two children in his family: a brother and a sister.
Luo Yonghao was accidentally conceived by his mother. She originally wanted to give up the child, but was afraid that the operation would be unsafe.
After discussion, the parents decided to give birth to Luo Yonghao.
Luo Yonghao, a mix of rebellious ideals and realism, was born.
Luo Yonghao’s rebelliousness and highly individual ideas have been evident since he was a child.
When I was in elementary school, I often made my teacher so angry that I called my parents to school.
Luo Yonghao’s rebellion is not naughty, but extremely personal principles and ideas, and even seriously conflicts with the entire education system.
Luo Yonghao has loved reading since he was a child and has read so many books that he can often hear the teacher's mistakes in lectures and correct the teacher's mistakes many times in front of the whole class.
As things continued like this, the teacher turned a blind eye when he saw Luo Yonghao raising his hand, and became highly nervous.
Once, in the third grade, Luo Yonghao’s composition was criticized by the teacher.
Luo Yonghao refused to accept and argued with reason. The teacher was so angry that he called Luo Yonghao to the office and taught him alone for two hours.
Luo Yonghao had no choice but to compromise.
After revising the composition, the teacher was still not satisfied, so he used his trump card and called Luo Yonghao’s parents over.
After Luo Yonghao’s parents apologized to the teacher, Luo Yonghao was able to go home.
His father is an open-minded person and usually forgives him after understanding the whole story.
In this state, Luo Yonghao spent about nine years in school, receiving a school education that seriously contradicted his own ideas.
In his second year of high school, Luo Yonghao dropped out of school and returned home. At that time, he was under 17 years old.
He is young and rebellious, and his parents dare not let him enter society alone.
Luo Yonghao has been studying at home for several years, and his only pleasure is wandering in the ocean of books.
He read many and miscellaneous books. Although he did not receive much education, he was able to speak well and write very logical and rational words. This is why.
In fact, if a person truly loves learning, he does not necessarily need to receive school education, but must strictly educate himself.
Guo Qilin dropped out of elementary school before graduating. He didn't like studying, and Guo Degang didn't force him, but he must study.
Under a good family education, Guo Qilin developed the habit of reading since he was a child.
There are many books in the study room of Guo Degang's home. Books you can name can usually be found on the bookshelf.
Guo Qilin has a good character that is unanimously praised by the audience, which is inseparable from his extensive reading and good family education.
The same is true for Luo Yonghao. Although he has not received much education, his knowledge and self-thinking ability have surpassed those who have received a university education.
Luo Yonghao walked out of his home and began to enter society.
Because he was in the border area, Luo Yonghao went to South Korea to work and did business of reselling things, but in the end he accomplished nothing.
Luo Yonghao, who had not made any money, was extremely depressed and was an alien in the eyes of his family and relatives.
His mother urged him to "do something serious."
Luo Yonghao looked helpless.
02. Entering New Oriental
After living like this for 5 or 6 years, Luo Yonghao’s opportunity came when he was 27 years old.
A friend asked him, "Do you want to earn one million a year?" Luo Yonghao said "Of course I do" with eyes full of desire.
"I heard that you can earn one million a year as an English teacher in New Oriental. You can try it."
When Luo Yonghao heard this, his desire-filled heart fell silent again.
English teacher? Can I do it?
But the words million-dollar-a-year salary always lingered in his mind.
Luo Yonghao went to Beijing and attended New Oriental’s live courses.
After returning, Luo Yonghao said to his parents, "I am going to New Oriental to be an English teacher. From today on, I will study English in seclusion for one year."
After hearing that his son had serious ideals, My parents were a little confused, but also happy.
Luo Yonghao is smart and highly intelligent, but he has many ideas. If he wants to succeed, he must overcome his half-hearted mentality.
During the process of learning English at home, Luo Yonghao thought about giving up many times, but what could he do if he gave up?
Grit your teeth and continue to persevere.
After studying for a year, Luo Yonghao felt that his English vocabulary was sufficient and his level had reached the standards of New Oriental teachers, or even far exceeded it.
28-year-old Luo Yonghao wrote a self-recommendation letter of more than 10,000 words to Yu Minhong, the founder of New Oriental.
Yu Minhong is somewhat similar to Luo Yonghao and has idealism in his heart. He was moved by Luo Yonghao's sincerity and asked him to come for an interview.
Finally, Luo Yonghao entered New Oriental.
I taught there for six years and was quite popular among my classmates.
His humorous teaching style was posted online by his classmates and aroused the love of netizens.
What he said was called "Lao Luo's Quotations" by netizens, and has become a famous aphorism.
Luo Yonghao has transformed from a poor loser with no money to a teacher with an annual salary of one million.
Excerpt two quotes from Lao Luo for your reference:
His brain circuit has a deep personal imprint, and many people will not think about problems like him.
After staying at New Oriental for six years, 34-year-old Luo Yonghao began to struggle again. He was naturally "uneasy about the status quo."
03. The transformation from teacher to entrepreneur
After resigning from New Oriental, Luo Yonghao became an entrepreneur and founded Niubo.com and an English training school.
But in fact, in his heart, he has a bigger dream and wants to make mobile phones.
Luo Yonghao is a fan of Apple mobile phones. He likes Apple’s refined craftsmanship and design, and vows to do better than Apple and acquire Apple in the future.
In 2012, Smartisan Technology came into being.
After years of preparation, Luo Yonghao officially released Smartisan’s first-generation mobile phone in May 2014.
However, due to factors such as high pricing, slow shipment, and unattractive appearance, Smartisan’s first-generation mobile phone only sold 250,000 units and ended hastily.
Luo Yonghao did not give up, and even became more courageous with every setback. He put all the billions he raised from investors on his mobile phone.
All the money was spent, but the sales of the mobile phone were poor due to shipping problems, and all the money was lost.
At the end of 2018, Smartisan Technology’s capital chain broke.
Even the talents who originally admired Luo Yonghao’s idealism and joined Smartisan Technology faced the company’s messy operations, executives and R&D personnel resigned one after another, and mobile phone R&D work had to be suspended.
In order to save the company, Luo Yonghao led his team to develop a chat software, Bullet SMS.
Later it was renamed Chatbot, but in the face of the extremely mature chat software market, Chatbot became a project that lost all its investment.
Luo Yonghao has a picky and rigorous craftsmanship in the field of mobile phones, but because of this he was unable to produce on schedule and missed the best opportunity to enter the market.
There is another important factor in the failure of Smartisan mobile phone, which is the problem of the general environment.
At that time, Xiaomi mobile phones already had a huge user base and were cheap. Compared with Xiaomi, Smartisan mobile phones had almost no advantages.
At that time, the mobile phone market was in chaos, with various brands mixed together, which greatly distracted consumers' attention.
Under this background, it was difficult for the Smartisan mobile phone to break out of the tight encirclement, and was eventually strangled in the melee.
Luo Yonghao not only failed to make any money by making Smartisan mobile phones, but also spent all the investors’ money. He also owed a huge debt of 600 million yuan at the end of 2018.
Owing so much money, Luo Yonghao could only temporarily put aside his idealism and work hard to make money and pay off his debts.
In order to pay off his debts, Luo Yonghao turned his life to the field of live streaming.
On April 1, 2020, Luo Yonghao started his first live broadcast in his life.
In fact, the Internet is where Luo Yonghao succeeds.
At that time, he became famous all over the Internet because of Lao Luo's quotations, and became an Internet celebrity as famous as "Sister Feng" and "Sister Furong". He can be called "China's first generation Internet celebrity".
Luo Yonghao has a lot of fans, and some people like him and support him because of his unwillingness to admit defeat.
/p>
He seized the spotlight of live broadcasting and became a popular anchor second only to Wei Ya and Li Jiaqi.
Lao Luo turned over. He no longer worked in one profession and failed in another. This time, he succeeded perfectly.
Luo Yonghao, who had tasted the sweetness, of course realized his entertainment potential and began to do what celebrities do, endorsing games and participating in talk shows.
04. Lao Luo’s ideal life
Lao Luo has a saying, life is endless and endless tossing.
After working hard, he has paid off 400 million of the 600 million debt.
Last September, Lao Luo said on the show, "This debt of 600 million that started at the end of 2018 has been paid back almost 400 million as of today."
It can be seen that the income from Lao Luo's live broadcast and the income from entertainment industry activities are really considerable.
At this rate, paying off the remaining 200 million in debt will be just around the corner.
/p>
Luo Yonghao has shown strong personal awareness since he was a child. His strong personal awareness comes from his independent thinking ability.
Only with independent thinking can imagination be born, only with imagination can there be innovation, and only with innovation can a person make unique achievements.
What Luo Yonghao wants to do has not yet been accomplished, but he has won people's hearts. Luo Yonghao has become a role model for thousands of people to strive for.
Life is endless and struggle is endless.
A fire burned in Luo Yonghao's heart, illuminating himself and warming those who saw the flame.
There is a large number of people behind him who support him, waiting to fulfill his promise of "acquiring Apple".
He is an idealist, and his feelings and seriousness have always supported him in pursuing the path of life.
In the past years, loneliness and loneliness have accompanied him, and glory and light have also visited him. However, he has never changed and insisted on pursuing his own ideas.
Never laugh at a serious person at any time, at least he has fought hard.
Just because the mobile phone dream has not come true yet does not mean that it will not succeed in the future.
Luo Yonghao’s 48 years were a tough 48 years. As he said himself, no explanation is needed.
