Recently, some netizens asked Luo Yonghao, the founder of Hammer Technology, whether he still had the courage to make a mobile phone. In this regard, Luo Yonghao responded: "Because I want to burn investors' money, so I really don't have the courage, otherwise you invest, as long as 2 billion." Without considering the financial returns or the reactions of the mediocre, I'll make you a soul-stirring phone. ”
Earlier, Luo Yonghao said in a conversation with OPPO Chief Product Officer Liu Zuohu and Luo Xiang that he was about to return to the technology industry, but the company would no longer call hammers. Luo Yonghao explained that because he made a cooler and more innovative technology product, he did not want its public image to be funny, and frankly said that the hammer was a failed project that would be particularly helpful to him in the second half of his life.
Hammer Technology was founded in 2012. In 2021, ByteDance announced that the original Hammer Technology team was merged into its education hardware team. Luo Yonghao also owed about 600 million yuan in debt due to the bankruptcy of Hammer Technology. In April 2020, Luo Yonghao started his debt repayment career in douyin. According to Luo Yonghao's expectations, he will pay off his debts this spring, and when he has paid off his debts, he will return to the technology industry and enter the AR track.
