Luo the key decision of hammer technology critical moment

Hammer Technology CEO Luo should Yantan invited to participate in the listing ceremony of the mo. After returning home from the United States, he was interviewed about his key decisions at some critical moments in the development of hammer technology this year.

About the development of hammer technology

1. You said in the microblog, in Times Square that moment, was thoroughly hit, specifically what hit you? The experience of the market, you in your own business management, planning, what new feelings? Yantan, investors Zhenggang and friends, have given you some in doing business, dealing with public opinion, supplier relations, financing and other aspects of the proposal?

Luo: At that time, the friends present, in addition to the man of the day Yantan, many are also in the secular sense, quite "successful" person. This includes the investor of Mo Mo, Yantan's partner and his core management team. Many of these people were born in the 780 's towns and villages in China, although I know they are not in the pool, and know what they have achieved over the years, but see them so high-spirited to the core of human capitalism, enjoy the personal struggle for the glory, sincere blessing and heartfelt resentment , and taking into account the fact that they were growing and breaking away from the ages and regions of poverty, backwardness, ignorance and despair, and in the moment of the photo shoot in Times Square, I felt really very magical and felt that human beings seemed to be hopeful.

To experience the listing of a friend's company, for the head of the start-up company, has the very good dozen chicken blood function, later those days I also specially went to the New York Exchange to also visit a bit, these two sightseeing down, at least can let me with full enthusiasm again crazy work six months, I prepare to go to see once every six months a Chinese company's listing.

These do business than my early friends, always give me a lot of advice, I am also very clear of their own short board, the work of the uncertain part, I will often go to ask them.

2. Before the issue of T1 production and supply emerges, have any colleagues ever reminded you of possible problems with product pricing, 3G and 4G versions, and gold sales periods? Have you assessed or expected a difference in the demand for 3G and 4G in the market?

Luo: Of course, the possible risks we have assessed in advance, our CTO Dr. Chang such things are basically experienced, so in advance also gave me a lot of warning. Later, none of the problems was completely unprepared, but limited to the conditions at that time, some know that the pit can only be hard forward, because there is no retreat, time and money are not allowed.

3. Sell at a loss of 3G version, guaranteed to sell 4G version, for enterprises have been melted funds, future financing, there is pressure?

Luo: In a situation that has already emerged, this is the least bad choice among all the unavoidable bad choices.

4. Alibaba Day Cat sales hammer phone fake things, what is the impact of the hammer? After clarification, can the effect be eliminated?

Luo: In the endless controversy, there is a number. Cannot eliminate, believe and not believe in the proportion of people, and before things happen exactly the same.

5. How did the initial T1 ramp up and supply chain problems finally be solved? How did you survive this time? Lei and you talk about Millet was the first to face the problem of mass production uphill?

Luo: Until long enough, production problems will be solved, but the best period of sales has been missed. How's that? Stiff, open your eyes every day always have to do things. Lei didn't tell me that, but he seems to have said it many times in an interview.

6. To hold "an idealist's entrepreneurial story" speech, a mass audience speech is your advantage, but also a communication to the enterprise, in the future stop doing this series of speeches, you will not feel sorry?

Luo: no ah, can do other series, I will still take the team to tell the entrepreneurial story, but do not engage in personal color and personal brand speech.

7. Enterprise inevitably to remove some of their personalized color, to create a role, this change process you adapt to it? How difficult is it to accept? What advice do your colleagues and investors give you?

Luo: There is no adaptation process, once you think about the key to the problem, I was instantly hard cut over, very easy. I reduce the public speech, not to eliminate themselves and corporate personality, but the expression of personality and the carrier and the way has changed. They didn't give me any advice, and they felt that something had to be done on my own, but not everything.

8. You say that there has never been such a fine product and brand like Hammer and T1, has encountered such a large-scale misunderstanding, slander and slander. What is the problem? Would this be a problem if, like other companies, the traditional set of communication methods were followed and the business leaders were cautious?

Luo: Of course it's my own personal style. If their products like T1 so good, and cautious, almost will not appear such a problem, a small number of rogue competitors can not become the climate, a little bit of trouble will not change anything.

9. Your personal influence does help businesses to open up their visibility and recruit talent in the early days of their start-up, and that concludes, how big is your personal ability? Where's the ceiling?

Luo: my short plate is actually very much, but I am very clear where my short board, I will be willing to time, effort and money to find someone to solve that part of the problem, so basically do not worry about the ceiling.

10. Hammer already has a mature hardware team, basically follow Motorola's process and method to go. What is your management style for the team? What is the management style of the software team and the design team?

Luo: I only from the enterprise and the actual needs of the product and the hardware and software team demand, never participate in their management, because the team leader is very reliable. Design and user experience this piece, is my own responsibility, management style is very loose, but also look at the work results.

11. How do you position their roles and how to deal with their relationships when working with professionals in design, product, development, supply chain, and hardware teams? Also want to make sure that hammer technology does not have a co-founder? Can you disclose the shareholding?

Luo: The part of me that I don't understand is looking for the right person, and then completely let go (of course, the actual work will be on a regular basis); I know the part is basically hands-on, but in the process if some people can do beyond my expectations, I will gradually let go, because there are more and more things to worry about. Although there will be inevitable friction between the team, but there has never been an irreconcilable interest struggle, which has a great relationship with the values of enterprises, of course, Luck is part of the reason.

There are, of course, co-founders, at least four. Shareholding is not convenient to say, can disclose the relevant information only one, we have a up to 30% options pool, which is very rare.

12. The hammer and you still survived the nightmare of three months, what is the focus next year?

Luo: Next year's focus is nothing in advance to say ^_^, then see the real chapter.

13. As a start-up, do you now feel that the hammer is on the right track? What are you satisfied with and what are you missing?

Luo: Of course, still far from the start-up company even if the development is smooth, everything on the formal also need five or six years, many companies are rich, listed several years after the formal. We are good at the product itself and the dissemination of the promotion, other aspects I am not satisfied.

Irrelevant to some of the problems of the hammer itself

1. What is the greatest achievement of 2014 years and the greatest perplexity?

Luo: The biggest achievement of course is to make a very good product. The biggest puzzle is why so many people think that a business can succeed in business as long as the product is done well.

2. What's your best advice this year, and who does it come from (books, reports, etc.)?

Luo: A lot of useful advice, not surprisingly which is the best, basically from colleagues and friends.

3. Best advice to readers (company) Both work and life are available.

Luo: To be the head of the enterprise of the mass consumer goods, not necessarily lie, but must be less telling the truth.

4. What do you think of the word "internet thinking" and the discussion it represents?

Luo: It shouldn't have been a new topic, because we've been through more than 10 years of internet life. It has been discussed again over the years, just because it has entered a field that has not been in the past, such as manufacturing.

5. Do you have "anxiety disorder"? Because you do not understand this crowd and in products and markets, business concerns?

Luo: No, the changes in the times are all appearances, the things in the depths of human nature have not changed. Although the technology industry has sprung up a lot of young, great people, but overall, the real owner of the world, is always more than 40 years old men. I'm just stating the facts, and I'm not happy about that, and frankly, I'm pretty disappointed in this world alone.
