The battle of the big monsters on the Internet: Hu Xianhe angrily scolded Luo Yonghao
Hu Xianhe's public accusations
On September 12, 2024, Hu Xianhe, the founder of Wukong Travel, posted an article on social media, directly criticizing Luo Yonghao by name, calling him an "Internet monster". The article quickly sparked widespread attention and discussion. Hu Xianhe listed Luo Yonghao's six "evil deeds" in the article, including cyberbullying, ingratitude, etc. Such accusations suddenly pushed Luo Yonghao to the forefront. But is this really reasonable? Or is Hu Xianhe deliberately smearing?
From the point of view of Wukong's travel
Wukong Travel was established in August 2014 and mainly provides online car rental related services. The company has risen rapidly in just a few years and has successfully attracted the attention of the capital market. In April 2015, Wukong Travel received an angel round of financing of 20 million yuan from Zihui Venture Capital and Jinke Junchuang. In 2016, the A round of financing led by Bojiang Capital was successfully put in place, and the personal investment funds of Zhen Fund, Jinke Junchuang, and Zhou Hongyi also followed suit, and even Zihui Venture Capital reinvested. It can be said that Wukong Travel's financing journey has been quite smooth.
As the founder of this company, Hu Xianhe's background is not simple. With a 2006 MBA from Peking University, he gave up his stable career and resolutely devoted himself to entrepreneurship. The sadness and hard work involved in this are probably only known to him. However, in the big world of the Internet, even successful entrepreneurs will inevitably face various turmoil.
Luo Yonghao's response
In the face of Hu Xianhe's public accusations, Luo Yonghao did not choose to remain silent. He quickly retweeted Hu Xianhe's Weibo and called it a "rogue article splashing dirty water." Regarding the six "evil deeds" listed by Hu Xianhe, Luo Yonghao said that it was completely slanderous, and decided to deal with it through legal means.
Luo Yonghao's reaction also attracted the support of many netizens. Some people believe that Hu Xianhe's accusations are too emotional and do not produce substantive evidence. Some people also feel that Luo Yonghao, as a public figure, does need to be responsible for his words and deeds, but Hu Xianhe's public accusation is a bit inappropriate.
The story behind it
Behind this cyber war, there are actually more stories. Hu Xianhe mentioned in the article that Zheng Gang suffered huge material and spiritual losses because of Luo Yonghao's behavior. Who is Zheng Gang? He is Hu Xianhe's angel investor. The two have a close relationship, and Hu Xianhe seems to have a certain truth in coming out as a friend.
Zheng Gang also commented on Hu Xianhe's Weibo article, expressing his gratitude to Hu Xianhe for his support. In this case, things are even more complicated. What did Luo Yonghao do to make these two entrepreneurs so angry? Are these six "evil deeds" true or false? Netizens also have different opinions.
Social & Economic Perspectives
From a social and economic perspective, the fight is a reflection of a deeper problem. Internet entrepreneurship, especially on social media, often comes with great uncertainty and risk. Entrepreneurs not only have to face competition in the market, but also deal with all kinds of social media comments and attacks.
Hu Xianhe's accusation may be a reflection of this phenomenon to a certain extent. The six "evil deeds" he listed involve cyberbullying and ingratitude. These problems are real in today's society, and the impact is far-reaching. Victims of online violence often have nowhere to complain, and the words and actions of certain public figures can also cause great harm to others.
Comparison of similar events
Something similar has happened over the past five years. For example, a well-known actor was accused and banned by the public because of some inappropriate remarks. Incidents like this tell us that public figures do need to be cautious in their words and actions. If Hu Xianhe's accusation is biased, then Luo Yonghao's response is also too fierce.
In contrast, in other similar cases, in most cases, the two sides end up resolving the issue through legal means. It also reminds us of the importance of staying calm and sane in the face of cyber battles.
Personal reviews
From the perspective of headline readers, the confrontation between Hu Xianhe and Luo Yonghao is indeed stunning. Hu Xianhe's accusations, while emotional, also reveal certain realities. And Luo Yonghao's strong reaction made people feel his pressure and helplessness as a public figure. In this battle between the two bigwigs, it may not matter who is right and who is wrong. More importantly, this incident reminds us that online speech needs to be responsible, and we need to be more cautious on the road to entrepreneurship.
Be open-minded
How will the battle of the Internet monsters end? Will Hu Xianhe and Luo Yonghao solve the problem through legal means? We'll see. This battle is not only a matter for the two of them, but also a warning to the entire Internet startup environment. Hopefully, in the future, we will see more rational and responsible rhetoric, rather than groundless accusations and attacks.
