The first article: Meeting Lao Luo for the first time
I believe it is no accident that Lao Luo appeared in my life. His appearance also changed my life in a sense, enriching and stimulating my life. He is the only stranger I can continue to like for 8 years and make up my mind to continue to like him.
I want to write something for a long time, but I always don't know how to write it, because there are too many shining places in Lao Luo's body, and I am always afraid of misunderstanding because of the lack of comprehensive writing. But recently, I saw a lot of negative comments on Smartisan T 1 (the hammer mobile phone is what most people call it, but I think such an elegant product is called Smartisan T 1, which is more in line with its identity). I was very upset and had to stand up and talk about Lao Luo in my eyes. I guarantee my rational life. Lao Luo, a real existence with diligence, great love, dreams, feelings, sincerity, integrity, perseverance and responsibility, can't make good products. He shouldn't be vilified by so many people and can't be the next Jobs!
In 2006, I was a junior. Like most people, I know there is such a person because of Lao Luo's quotations. I just think it sounds interesting. The values expounded in the recording are exactly what I pursue. That's when I knew we were on the same side. But I haven't paid attention to him for a long time, and I don't even know what he looks like But actually, my values have been unconsciously influenced by him.
Two years later, in 2008, one of my graduate students told me about Lao Luo every day, and even forcibly took my USB flash drive to copy Lao Luo's quotations for me. When I listened to the quotations again, the fire in my heart finally lit up again. At that time, the internet was convenient, so I began to search for some introductions about him online. When I saw this photo, I was a little lost, but as I learned more and more about his story, I felt pious inside.
Article 2: Old Luo Qi
I learned from the Internet that he dropped out of school as a sophomore. The reason is that everything taught at school is extracts and short sentences, which is difficult to satisfy his thirst for knowledge. At the same time, the way the school teaches students to figure out the author's meaning also makes him extremely disgusted. There may be other reasons for his personality. He chose to drop out of school and study by himself, one by one. He once wanted to be a poet. Although I didn't succeed, at least I accumulated a lot of poems in my stomach. I have tried many occupations, such as sifting sand, setting up stalls, reselling goods and even smuggling cars, working as a stainless steel spot welder, doing pyramid schemes, attending night classes, attending training classes and watching more than 600 movies to learn English. But they all failed, but for him, these are just the accumulation on the road to success. For a time, Lao Luo was a fat man. He has tried various methods to lose weight, such as dieting, exercise and qigong. For a time, he strictly controlled his diet and ran for more than an hour every day, paying an unimaginable price. Such efforts made him lose 48 pounds in 58 days. This perseverance is really extraordinary.
It was not until one time that a friend told him that he was a teacher in New Oriental and his salary could be paid in sacks that he was moved. For his dream and responsibility to his family, he resolutely set foot in Kyoto and attended the GRE training class in New Oriental. He rented a remote small house, bought 50 kilograms of self-help books, declined all his friends' parties and banquets, and persisted for a year. His eyes were nearsighted because of this, but he finally conquered the stronghold of GRE, came up with a set of courseware for vocabulary and filling in the blanks (he chose to fill in the blanks because a teacher's instructions were full of mistakes), tried to speak it n times in front of the mirror alone, and even calculated the time of a class in seconds so accurately.
So he went to Lao Yu of New Oriental with confidence. Of course, before he went, he wrote the longest and truest application letter in history according to the recruitment requirements. Fortunately, Lao Yu gave him a chance, but Lao Luo screwed up two auditions because of nervousness, although he tried his best. Just as Lao Yu was about to give up on him, he got a third chance, and in front of him, a teacher who spoke worse came last, so he entered New Oriental. After stumbling for a while, I became the most popular GRE teacher in New Oriental, no one!
I worked for five years, and then I resigned decisively because I didn't like the bad situation of some education.
In 2006, Niubo.com began. Niubo.com was praised by everyone because he never promoted by clicking on advertisements such as pornographic games, and he was not afraid of being falsely reported, concealed or deleted by his superiors. It took only two years for Niubo.com to click more than one million times in a completely upright way. Niu Bo. Com also used its popularity to raise funds for the Wenchuan earthquake. Because of dissatisfaction with the atmosphere of a cross-social action, I personally drove to the disaster area to participate in the rescue. Give red envelopes to the mother of Shanxi black brick kiln and the rescued kiln industry in the New Year. Later, Niubo.com was ordered to close several times. Later, in desperation, Niubo International was opened outside the wall and a castration net was opened inside the wall.
In 2008, I began to do Lao Luo English (Lao Luo and his friend Education Technology Development Co., Ltd., even the name is so dragging! ), it is also the time when I officially began to pay attention to him. I must study every speech and every poster carefully. The emergence of Lao Luo English has changed the old status quo of education in China. In fact, every time he appears in different fields, he is changing the old status quo in this field and always making the world a little better in various ways. This is why every time I see such a change, my heart is filled with tears of joy. He put forward "N-Day School", "No, No, No School" and "Magic School" for public criticism, so that the majority of English learners know that they must be down-to-earth. "One dollar to listen to eight classes" was his initiative, and the result was madly imitated. However, Lao Luo's posters are always one step ahead. For the first time, he adopted the poster of 3D villain. This time I was madly imitated, and almost every poster has been imitated since then. Of course, it has never been surpassed. I went to Lao Luo English for IELTS class. I'll talk about this later. Because of this, the atmosphere of the whole education industry has been greatly reversed, from the quality of posters to the service to students, to the sincere attitude and so on. Another thing to mention here is that he got the investment because a friend of his when he was a child had no contact for more than ten years, but he ate a meal and gave him 3 million without saying anything. He was puzzled himself. My friend said that it was because Lao Luo was the only one who didn't cheat him in the "porn" exchange when he was a child. It can be seen that honesty is a precious character.
20 12 is an extremely important year for Lao Luo. He founded Hammer Technology Development Co., Ltd., which is also a very drag name. Of course, once it was established, it caused an uproar, bigger than ever before. There are all kinds of disbelief, doubt, slander and abuse on the internet ... but I think it's a pity to give up Lao Luo's English. My confidence in Lao Luo has never wavered. According to the Bible, faith is a solid foundation for expectation and unprecedented evidence. You can't be confident if you have seen it. Trust him before you see it. This is confidence! On March 27th, 20 13, the SmartisanOS conference was officially held. 20 14 On May 20th, Smartisan T 1 (Hammer Mobile Phone) was officially released. T 1 has received bad reports and comments from major industries and major media because of some problems such as production capacity, selling price and price reduction. Lao Luo also had to make an appointment with Wang Ziru for Youku because of Zealer's malicious comments. In short, as Lao Luo himself said: Never has such a beautiful product and brand been misunderstood, slandered and slandered on such a large scale! I totally agree.
But even so, T 1 survived. After buying tens of thousands of mobile phones in Taobao official website, users received rave reviews, showing that those who saw the real machine were shocked. Those ignorant people who rashly commented without seeing the real machine were really hateful and pitiful.
Since the launch of T 1, a surging offline mobile phone experience exchange activity has been spontaneously organized all over the country. What kind of mobile phone has had such a great influence, as well as the cash back of tickets for Lao Luo's press conference, price reduction and refund, and the double 1 1 blessing bag activity, are these not enough to explain the problem?
Of course, there are also many stories during this period, such as the incident of smashing Siemens refrigerators by the organization for safeguarding users' rights and interests, and the incident of questioning the anti-counterfeiting fund. It is really gratifying to see that it was banned. In order to safeguard the rights and interests of employees, the chain events were bombarded. I won't list them all here.
The above story is just a simple list in my memory. If you want to know more carefully, you can look at his two books, My Struggle and My Struggle is Endless. There are also video lectures online.
Next, I want to tell you how Lao Luo profoundly and truly influenced my life.
Article 3: "Follow" Lao Luo
Of course, I didn't really "follow" Lao Luo and become one of his employees. Although I strongly thought about it and worked hard, it has not come true so far. Lao Luo doesn't really know me. When I say follow, I mean follow, learn and improve silently.
I'm a person who knows what's behind me. At that time, I only knew silly efforts and seldom thought about what I was doing and what my dreams were. This is why I chose a major in plant protection that I didn't like when I was an undergraduate, and another major in agronomy that I didn't like when I was a graduate student. Fortunately, in my third year as a graduate student, I fell ill, partly because of the problem of experimental reagents, which became a good reason for me not to engage in this industry in the future. At that time, I liked English very much, although I was not good at it, which can be shown from my experience. I haven't passed CET-4 for seven times, but I just passed CET-6 for graduate students. But I never lost interest and confidence. At that time, it happened that Lao Luo was running an English training school. The lecture on entrepreneurial stories was not only humorous, but also practical and instructive. So I also privately organized a few friends to hold a small training class together and pirated Lao Luo's English posters. The mode of listening to four classes for one yuan recruited more than 40 people for the first time. After several sessions, because of graduation, it was temporarily put on hold.
I told my parents that I wanted to be an English training institution, but they didn't agree with me anyway, saying that it was difficult for you to go to graduate school, and how stable it would be to get a doctorate by biting your teeth. I am a dutiful son, so I passed the exam, but I still continue to prepare to improve my English in private. I have been to memory training class, speed reading training class and English vocabulary memory training class.
At the end of 20 10, I finally couldn't stand such research and my illness. I left school in a rage and came to Beijing to attend the IELTS training class of Lao Luo English with more than 10 million savings. At that time, I was taught by certified teachers, Mr. Xu Cen, Mr. Deng Keqi and Mr. Miao Yu. I have gained a lot, not only the content, but also their personal charm and the service of Lao Luo English organization. The habit at that time was to log on to Lao Luo English's website every day to see if there were any latest developments. I will listen to all the open classes and read all the recruitment notices carefully. Try to meet the requirements. I bought every book mentioned in his speech to study.
But when I found myself too backward, I remembered the story of Lao Luo 1 year, and my motivation came again. But my willpower or courage is not enough, so I have never had such an opportunity, because I just came to Beijing, and in order to find a part-time job and a place where I can live quickly, I broke into the liar's nest again and again. My parents call every day, my tutor calls every day, and my relatives and friends call every day, all of which persuade me to go back and finish my studies. My health is getting worse and worse, and I am heavily in debt outside. The hardest thing is that there is no one to talk to. Therefore, it can only be supported by the spirit of Lao Luo. Of course, later I found a god to support me.
I finally jumped out of the liar's lair and found a part-time job in Beijing Jinyi International Studios. I spent the rest of my time practicing my oral English on the website 5 1talk. After half a year, I felt almost the same, so I sent my resume online and found Saye Education Technology Development Co., Ltd., where I worked as a teaching assistant and a teaching assistant supervisor for one year at the International Branch of Beijing Normal University. Interacting with foreign teachers every day further improves my oral English, but I still feel it is too slow. In fact, the reason for the slowness has something to do with Lao Luo's going to make a mobile phone. It is meaningless to try Lao Luo's English again, because the example is gone. After that, I lived day by day, making friends and getting married.
However, by chance, I met Mr. Permit and Mr. Dunkeqi again, so I met Mr. Kong Hui. I heard that they set up an organization that wants to learn English. They not only gave me their translations of Elephant in the Room and Why Dogs Can't Change Eating Shit, but also invited me to dinner. I'm really ashamed. I will treat them well next time. Later, I often visited the institutions I wanted to study, which really ignited the passion of doing English training.
Of course, I often wonder how it is possible to be with Teacher Luo. 20 14, that is, on June 20 10 this year, I quit my job and went to a remote mountain village for 2010 and fasted for 30 days (no food at all, only water). Of course, under the leadership of a priest, we collectively came to seek God and seek the opening and guidance of the soul in life. It is also a great test of willpower. After that, I made up my mind to spend half a year improving myself and learning English. But this time, my goal is to become one of the best and worst English communicators in China. Half a year is just the beginning, and it may take me a lifetime to achieve this goal. Of course, if I have the opportunity to work with Lao Luo in the future, I think I will seize the opportunity.
Chapter Four: Evaluating Lao Luo.
Lao Luo is an ordinary person. He was born in the countryside, dropped out of high school, plain-looking, fat and timid. ...
Lao Luo is an upright man. No matter in life or career, be generous and never speculate. If you don't touch the mud, you won't be evil. In the dark, but trying to shine. This also explains that all his English is genuine software. In the most difficult time, he gave his employees a double salary, a doormat and a cowardly fee to the front desk. When I was a child, I never lied about changing porn.
Lao Luo is a diligent person. Whether he tried to do all kinds of business when he was a child, he insisted on losing weight, he studied English hard, he worked tirelessly for the fairness of the world, or he was over forty years old. All illustrate this point. I believe that heaven rewards diligence.
Lao Luo is a man with great love. Everything he does is from the heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't raise money on Niubo, go to Wenchuan for rescue, give new year's red envelopes to employees rescued from Shanxi coal mines, smash Siemens refrigerators to protect rights, quarrel with Fang, and ...
Lao Luo is a man with dreams. He has been working hard for a long or short dream. ...
Lao Luo is a persistent person. Because he has been fighting and never flinches.
Lao Luo is a responsible person. That's why he always wants to make the world a better place. Doing a blog. Com makes the network cleaner, making Lao Luo English makes the English training industry healthier, and making mobile phones improves the atmosphere of the mobile phone industry. And after Jobs died, he tried to stand up and try to be a successor. I think whether he can go to work or not is worthy of respect.
Lao Luo is a decent man. In order to make people remember his original intention, Lao Luo donated $39,500, listened to eight English classes and delivered books, cashed in the tickets for the conference, reduced the price of his mobile phone for a refund, postponed his speech and invited friends from other places to eat and deliver books. Every deed is enough to make you cry and taste for three years.
Lao Luo is a person who can correct mistakes and is willing to bear them. No matter the production capacity, the price reduction of mobile phones or the negative comments from friends, they all publicly apologized on Weibo and took some practical actions to make up for it.
Lao Luo is a man of courage. When you think of it, prepare carefully and try to realize it. Niu Bo. Com, Lao Luo English and hammer technology are all good proofs.
Lao Luo is an influential person. His Sina Weibo fans alone are close to 10 million, and his quotations and later actions have stirred China's pulse. Almost all the books he mentioned or recommended in his speech have become the top sellers of major online merchants.
Lao Luo is a man destined to change the world. He wants to make the world full of love and beauty, not a little!
Chapter 5: Conclusion.
Lao Luo came to this world with a mission. Lao Luo's organization came to this world, and none of its pores were covered with blood and dirty things.
Finally, I want to quote some words that Lao Luo said in his speech: "Let people believe that it is possible to make money cleanly, that it is possible to realize their ideals, and that it is possible to change the world by changing it, even in China."
"I'm not trying to win or lose, I'm serious!"
In the end, love will overcome everything!
It's time to end it. I also want to say that I always wanted to buy T 1 because I have been using telecom mobile phones, but I never bought it. I haven't really experienced the real machine, so I can't comment on the mobile phone. But after this, I will change the number and buy one. I may also write something about the experience of using my mobile phone then. Finally, let's love the world together. ...
