Double Byte once invited Lao Luo to join with 200 million, but Lao Luo chose to refuse because Lao Luo has his own ambitions and his own career to choose. He can be his own hammer, and Hammer's development was also very good at that time. The most important thing was that he wanted to be his own master and he did not want to be a helper in other people's fields.
At that time, Smartisan Technology had 8 patents in terms of software copyright. These include Hammer wallet software, voice assistant software, note software and clock software, etc. Now, according to ByteDance’s “acquisition of some of Smartisan’s patents”, it means using Smartisan’s voice assistant, note software, clock and other related patents to improve its related layout in the education field. In addition, Lao Luo also has patents for locking the screen, taking screenshots, silent timing, prompting when the phone is hit, taking selfies, and taking photos quickly.
Dance Byte saw these patents, so it wanted to invite Lao Luo to participate. However, Lao Luo had so many advantages, and the market was so good at the time, he could do it himself, and he could Believe that you can do it. It is much better to work for yourself and make money than to work for others, and this is also your own career.
Bytedance originally sought 400 million yuan to partially acquire Smartisan Technology, but required Luo Yonghao to join Bytedance. But in the end, Luo Yonghao refused to join ByteDance and chose to go it alone.
Although in the end, Smartisan and Luo Yonghao had reached the edge, they came back to life in 2017. Luo Yonghao always believed that he and Smartisan could have a certain position in the market, and Being able to make some achievements, it may be this belief and persistence that made him refuse the invitation from Douyin.
