Luo Yonghao's "failure" history
text
First fledgling: meet China's richest man in Bitcoin
Luo Yonghao was born in a decent family in Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin Province in 1972. His legendary story is as tough as the slogan he chanted. He dropped out of high school and started working as a street vendor, reselling medicinal materials, and selling computer accessories.
He really got the heat and shouted that resounding slogan, but he started from joining New Oriental. The time before starting a business should be regarded as the best time for him, where he and his brother Li Xiaolai told jokes, played mahjong and made money together.
At that time, Luo Yonghao had already become a well-known KOL on the Internet platform because of one of his slogans. Then in 2006, there was a Niubo.com operated by him, Fang Zhouzi and others. But the good times didn't last long. Later, due to the malicious IP attack incident, suspicion and estrangement appeared between the two, and they finally parted ways.

Great reputation: repeated defeats and repeated battles, the industry's "dark" lights
After that, in 2008, Luo Yonghao opened his first company - "Lao Luo and his friends" training school, and started his old business of English training. But Luo Yonghao, who started a company for the first time, ended in failure due to poor management.
However, the persistent Luo Yonghao did not give up at this point. He will talk about the achievements of his educational institution and his plan to enter the field of science and technology in a press conference held later. After that, he has his own brand "Smartian", which is what everyone calls "hammer". cell phone".
Luo Yonghao also set a new flag: "Blockchain mobile phones will definitely be made. I firmly believe that blockchain technology can change the world."
But at a time when most people don't even know what a "blockchain" is, Luo Yonghao, who is caught in the vortex of public opinion, still fails to grasp this life-saving straw due to too many variables and many negative voices.
The times never gave him a chance to stagnate, reflect and develop again. He has no experience in running a business, and due to reasons such as warehouse explosions, mobile phone problems, and operational pressure, Luo Yonghao's failure has repeated itself.

Facing difficulties: repaying debts through live streaming, starting a business again
On April 1, 2020, Luo Yonghao started his first live streaming, and this time he seems to be on the right path. A year and a half later, Luo Yonghao said that he basically paid off the hundreds of millions of debts he owed when making mobile phones.
A generation will eventually get old, but there are always people who are young, and Luo Yonghao's sturdy life is still being written. Just in the early hours of November 5th, Luo Yonghao's tweet about "The next entrepreneurial project will enter the Yuan Universe Company" once again caught the public's attention, and some netizens even couldn't help joking: "Destroyer of the tuyere, this time I plan to owe a few 100 million?"

Blockchain + metaverse, Lao Luo will be a "pig" on the wind

The blockchain is the passport of the metaverse
If we want to understand Luo Yonghao’s operation and maintain a supportive attitude towards it, we must first understand the close connection between the blockchain and the metaverse, and what is his understanding of the metaverse?
Metaverse does not specifically refer to a certain application or product, nor is it superficially understood as a so-called virtual world game. It is a macro-abstract conceptual term, a parallel universe that can be understood as a digital form. One of the reasons why many people don't believe or misunderstand it is that we are in a technical bottleneck period, and everyone can only see the current situation carried by the game form, so I think its essence is "parallel universe".
"Parallel universe" means that we can have the second, third, and Nth lives in different dimensions, in which we can have various new identities, assets, and social relationships, and we can carry out a complete life and Social activities are equivalent to extending the length of our lives in other dimensions.
At this time, many people may think, isn’t this still the “Sims” they played before, isn’t it still a game in the end?
Yes, there is nothing wrong with this sentence. If we hadn’t encountered the technology of blockchain, Metaverse might always be a form of game. There are two main reasons for this:
First, assets in the virtual world cannot circulate smoothly in the real world. If you devote all your energy to becoming an elite in the virtual world, you may still be poor in reality.
Second, your fate in the virtual world is not in your own hands. If the operator closes, everything you have is gone.
However, the development of the blockchain has been able to perfectly solve the above two points, and we have the opportunity to use it to break through the gap between the virtual world and reality, and let the Metaverse complete the evolution of the bottom layer.

The essence of the metaverse is technological change
Before Luo Yonghao, Zuckerberg changed Facebook’s name to Meta, which aroused many people’s attention and discussion. Lao Luo agreed with Carmack, one of the founders of id Software.
Carmack maintained a rational and neutral attitude and conducted a technical analysis on Meta, and the point of view is also very simple. On the one hand, he also hopes that the Metaverse can be realized one day, but on the other hand, he has every reason to believe that developing with Meta as the goal may not be the best way to build a platform.
Generally speaking, he believes that Metaverse is easy to attract unconstrained programmers or designers, and these people are characterized by not wanting to consider specific details such as GPU micro-architecture and merging shared networks, but talk about Metaverse from a macro and abstract perspective.
Carmack's suggestion for this is: focus R&D on the actual product, not the technical architecture or idea. Take game development as an example. Before that, he wrote the engine for game development in the id Software studio. After the game was launched, he found that the engine could be reused in other scenarios. This shows that technology is always born for the product, and then Consider other uses.
He also pointed out that usually premature planning may hinder later development, and even the final plan cannot be realized.
If only SDK and development kits are released, but no developers use them, their value will be lost. Carmack believes that some interesting proof-of-concept technology can only prove its importance if it can get hundreds of thousands of users and use it for millions of hours.

Metaverse helps regain old dreams
If the blockchain is a bridge between ideal and reality, then as Carmack said, the bridge is not fabricated out of thin air, we need engineers to build it. Hardware is the engineer, and technology is the primary productive force.
Zuckerberg also made it clear at the Connect conference that in the future Meta will launch any VR&AR tools for education, work, games, health, social networking, etc. that go to the Metaverse. The hardware represented by the mobile phone + the social software of the chat treasure. Then I boldly guess, will Luo Yonghao further improve the existing top hardware products Quest 2 and HTC Vive? In my opinion, this is the metaverse that Lao Luo agrees with, a more pragmatic metaverse.
In our vision, this product will most likely be a cutting-edge smart wearable device with the following characteristics:
On the hardware side:
Improve the camera, sensor, and display, make it more convenient to carry, faster and smaller in computing speed, and deeply connected to the decentralized "cloud game" platform.
In terms of software interaction:
Optimize the existing software system, which is more suitable for multi-scene changes (indoor and outdoor) and use blockchain technology for storage;
The software more accurately identifies the user's location (game/reality, geographic coordinates, usage status) and expands the scope of social interaction;
Use gestures to map handle buttons, and even in the future, there will be many scenarios to control devices only by brain waves, voice, gaze points, etc.;
Use blockchain technology to create unique digital identities and ensure property security in the Metaverse world.
The above is the conjecture of Luo Yonghao's next venture. The appearance of Lao Luo makes us once again full of expectations and infinite guesses about the future Metaverse after Zuckerberg. His unchanging Weibo certification "Hammer Technology" is the obsession in his heart. The future direction of the Metaverse is very likely to continue it, and continue to write his "sturdy" life that does not need to be explained with hardware innovation.
There is no failure in life, only temporarily stagnant success. Lao Luo’s previous ventures were all in the black car. From the last live broadcast to pay off debts and return to the technology stage to this time on the metaverse, we still have to believe that persistent people will always succeed!
