กรณีศึกษา การใช้ SOFT POWER ของจีนในยุค COVID-19 /โดย ลงทุนแมน
ถ้าพูดถึงประเทศที่ใช้ Soft Power ได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ
เราอาจนึกถึง ประเทศที่ประสบความสำเร็จในการส่งออกทางวัฒนธรรม อย่างเกาหลีใต้หรือญี่ปุ่น
แต่จริงๆ แล้ว Soft Power ไม่ได้มีแค่เรื่องที่เกี่ยวกับวัฒนธรรมเพียงอย่างเดียว
โดยเฉพาะในสถานการณ์ตอนนี้ ที่มีการระบาดอย่างหนักของ COVID-19
จีน กลับเป็นหนึ่งในประเทศที่มีบทบาทโดดเด่นสุด ตอนนี้
เรื่องนี้น่าสนใจอย่างไร? ลงทุนแมนจะเล่าให้ฟัง

ก่อนอื่นเรามาเริ่มจากการทำความเข้าใจกับคำว่า “Soft Power”
Soft Power มาจากแนวคิดของศาสตราจารย์มหาวิทยาลัยฮาร์วาร์ด ชื่อ Joseph Nye
เป็นการขยายอิทธิพล หรือทำให้ผู้อื่นคล้อยตาม โดยไม่ใช้วิธีการบังคับ
ซึ่ง Soft Power จะเกิดขึ้นจาก 3 ปัจจัยหลัก ได้แก่ วัฒนธรรม ค่านิยม และนโยบายต่างประเทศ
ตัวอย่างประเทศ ที่ประสบความสำเร็จจากการใช้ Soft Power
ฝรั่งเศส ขึ้นชื่อเรื่องอาหาร โดยถือเป็นประเทศที่ได้มิชลินสตาร์มากสุดในโลก
มีสถานที่ท่องเที่ยวที่มีชื่อเสียงหลายแห่ง เช่น หอไอเฟล พิพิธภัณฑ์ลูฟวร์
ทำให้เป็นประเทศที่มีนักท่องเที่ยวต่างชาติเดินทางไปเยือนมากสุดในโลก
คิดเป็นจำนวนเกือบ 90 ล้านคน ในปี 2018
สหราชอาณาจักร มีสื่อที่ได้รับการยอมรับ อย่าง BBC
ซึ่งนับเป็นหนึ่งในสื่อทรงอิทธิพล ที่มีคนดูมากที่สุดในโลก
นอกจากนั้นยังมี Premier League ที่เป็นการแข่งขันฟุตบอลที่ได้รับความนิยมไปทั่วโลก
สหรัฐอเมริกา เรียกได้ว่าเป็นอีกประเทศที่ประสบความสำเร็จในการเผยแพร่วัฒนธรรม
ผ่านอุตสาหกรรมภาพยนตร์ เพลง รวมถึงแบรนด์ที่เราใช้กันในชีวิตประจำวัน
ด้านการศึกษา สหรัฐอเมริกา ถือเป็นประเทศที่มีมหาวิทยาลัยระดับโลกมากสุดในโลก
รวมถึงด้านเทคโนโลยี ก็เป็นต้นกำเนิดของบริษัทอย่าง เฟซบุ๊ก แอปเปิล กูเกิล ไมโครซอฟต์
และอย่างที่รู้กันว่า คู่แข่งที่สำคัญของสหรัฐอเมริกา ก็คือ “จีน”
โดยเฉพาะ เมื่อเกิดเหตุการณ์ที่คาดไม่ถึงอย่าง COVID-19
ซึ่งกลายมาเป็นปัจจัยสำคัญ ในการแข่งขันทางขั้วอิทธิพลระหว่าง 2 ประเทศนี้
และก็ดูเหมือนว่าจีน กำลังทำคะแนนในด้านนี้ได้อย่างโดดเด่น
เพราะแม้ว่าจีน จะเป็นศูนย์กลางการระบาดแห่งแรกๆ
แต่ก็เป็นประเทศที่สามารถจัดการกับ COVID-19 ได้เป็นแห่งแรกๆ เช่นกัน
ซึ่งเมื่อการระบาดแพร่กระจายไปยังประเทศอื่น
จีน ก็ใช้โอกาสนี้ ในการส่งความช่วยเหลือไปให้ทั่วโลก
โดยรัฐบาลจีน ได้มีการส่งอุปกรณ์ที่จำเป็น ไม่ว่าจะเป็นหน้ากากอนามัย ชุดป้องกันเชื้อโรค ชุดตรวจโรค รวมถึงทีมแพทย์ ไปให้กว่า 120 ประเทศ
มีการเผยแพร่ข้อมูลที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการตรวจหาโรค การรักษาโรค และการป้องกันโรค โดยอ้างอิงจากประสบการณ์ที่จีนได้รับมาก่อน
นอกจากนั้น ยังมีการอนุมัติวงเงินกู้ดอกเบี้ยต่ำ และโครงการพักชำระหนี้
ให้กับประเทศซึ่งอยู่ภายใต้โครงการ Belt and Road ที่ได้รับผลกระทบจาก COVID-19
ในส่วนภาคเอกชนของจีนเอง ก็ให้ความร่วมมือและช่วยเหลือในวิกฤติ COVID-19 นี้ไม่แพ้กัน
โดยเฉพาะธุรกิจที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการผลิตอุปกรณ์การแพทย์ การเงิน และการขนส่ง มีการบริจาคอุปกรณ์การแพทย์ ไปยังประเทศต่างๆ
นอกจากนั้นยังมีมูลนิธิของ Alibaba และ Jack Ma ซึ่งบริจาคหน้ากากอนามัยให้เกือบ 100 ประเทศ
มีการเผยแพร่สื่อที่เกี่ยวกับวิธีการรักษาโรคใน 8 ภาษา ลงบนโลกออนไลน์
รวมถึงสร้างแพลตฟอร์มแลกเปลี่ยนข้อมูลแบบเรียลไทม์ที่ชื่อว่า
Global MediXchange for Combating COVID-19 หรือ GMCC
ซึ่งในขณะที่จีนกำลังทำทุกอย่างนี้ สหรัฐอเมริกาที่เป็นพี่ใหญ่ของโลก กลับยังไม่สามารถควบคุมสถานการณ์การระบาดของ COVID-19 ในประเทศได้
ดังนั้น COVID-19 จึงเปรียบเหมือนโอกาสของจีน
ในการสั่นคลอนอิทธิพลของสหรัฐอเมริกา โดยใช้ Soft Power เป็นทรัพยากรที่มีอยู่ในมือ
และถ้าจีน สามารถผลิตวัคซีนได้สำเร็จเป็นประเทศแรก
ก็น่าสนใจไม่น้อยว่า สมดุลขั้วอำนาจระหว่างจีน และสหรัฐอเมริกาจะเปลี่ยนไปอย่างไร
จริงๆ แล้ว ก่อนหน้า COVID-19 จีนได้เริ่มมีการใช้ Soft Power มาสักระยะหนึ่งแล้ว
ในด้านวัฒนธรรม เราจะเห็นได้ว่าทั้งวงการบันเทิง สถานที่ท่องเที่ยว และภาษาจีนที่เริ่มเป็นที่นิยมมากขึ้น ผ่านซีรีส์ ภาพยนตร์ เพลง รวมถึงการให้ทุนการศึกษาจำนวนมากแก่นักเรียนต่างประเทศ
ในด้านการต่างประเทศ ก็มีโครงการ Belt and Road ที่เข้าไปช่วยพัฒนาโครงสร้างพื้นฐานในกว่า 60 ประเทศ
ซึ่งเมื่อมองย้อนกลับมาที่ไทย เราเองก็เป็นประเทศที่มีเอกลักษณ์โดดเด่น
เรามีวัฒนธรรม มวยไทย อาหารไทย ที่ขึ้นชื่อ
เรามีภาพยนตร์ ละคร ศิลปิน ที่เริ่มเป็นที่รู้จักในต่างประเทศ
เรามีสถานที่ท่องเที่ยว ที่ได้รับความนิยมเป็นอันดับต้นๆ ของโลก
และไทยยังได้รับการจัดอันดับว่ามีความมั่นคงทางสุขภาพเป็นอันดับที่ 6 ของโลก
แปลว่าจริงๆ ถ้าเราสามารถวางกลยุทธ์เพื่อบริหารจัดการจุดเด่นเหล่านี้ได้
ประเทศไทยเรา ก็มีศักยภาพในการใช้ Soft Power ได้ไม่แพ้ใครเช่นกัน..

A case study of Chinese SOFT POWER in COVID-19 era / by investing manly.
Speaking of countries that use Soft Power effectively
We may think of a country that succeeds in cultural exports like South Korea or Japan.
But really, Soft Power isn't just a cultural thing.
Especially in this situation where COVID-19 outbreak is now.
China is one of the most iconic countries now.
How interesting is this? Investing man will tell you about it.

First of all, let's start by understanding the word ′′ Soft Power ′′
Soft Power comes from the concept of Harvard University professor named Joseph Nye
Expanding influences or making others follow without a force.
Soft Power will occur from 3 main factors include culture, values and foreign policy.
Examples of successful countries by using Soft Power
France is famous for food. It is the most Michelin star country in the world.
There are many famous attractions such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum.
Make it the country with foreign tourists to visit the world's most.
As many as 90 million people as 2018
The UK has BBC recognized media
Which is one of the most viewed influential media in the world.
In addition, Premier League is a popular football match all over the world.
USA is called another successful country to publish culture.
Through the film industry, music including brands we use in everyday life.
U.S. education is the country with the world's most universities.
Including technology is the origin of companies like Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft.
And as you know, a major U.S. rival is ′′ China
Especially when unexpected events like COVID-19
Which became an important factor in the influential competition between these 2 countries.
And it looks like China is scoring this side outstandingly.
Because although China is the center of the first outbreak.
But it's also a country that can handle COVID-19 as well.
When the outbreak spread to other countries
China also uses this opportunity to send help to the world.
Chinese government has been sent necessary equipment, hygienic mask, anti-germs, examination kit, including medical team to over 120 countries.
Information related to disease detection, treatment and prevention of disease based on the experience China has obtained before.
In addition, low interest loan band approved and debt break project.
To the country under the Belt and Road project affected by COVID-19
In China's private sector, we are cooperating and helping with this COVID-19 crisis.
Specifically, businesses involved in the production of medical equipment, finance and transportation. Medical supplies are donated to different countries.
In addition, Alibaba and Jack Ma's foundation donated almost 100 countries of hygienic masks.
Media has been published on how to cure 8 languages online.
Including creating a real-time data exchange platform called
Global MediXchange for Combating COVID-19 หรือ GMCC
While China is doing everything, the world's big brother USA can't control the COVID-19 outbreak situation in the country.
Therefore, COVID-19 is like China's opportunity.
To shake U.S. influence using Soft Power as a resource on hand.
And if China can successfully produce vaccines first country.
Interesting how the power balance between China and USA will change.
In fact, COVID-19 China has started using Soft Power for a while.
In the culture, we can see that the entertainment industry, attractions and Chinese are becoming more popular through film series, music including scholarships. cuddle students abroad.
In foreign countries, there are Belt and Road projects that help develop infrastructure in over 60 countries.
When I look back at Thailand, I am a unique country.
We have a Thai boxing culture, famous Thai food.
We have a drama film, an artist that started to be known abroad.
We have the world's top popular attractions.
And Thai is also ranked as the world's number 6 health stability.
Really means if we can strategize to manage these highlights.
Thailand, we also have the potential to use Soft Power, not allergic to anyone..

【如何在兩個月內買到小米手機
How to Buy a Xiaomi in Two Short Months】
Beijing, Sept. 4th (by Carlos Tejada) -- China’s Xiaomi rose to the top ranks of global smartphone makers in only five years by selling high-spec phones at lowball prices. The phones have been snapped up by Chinese consumers looking for an affordable, homegrown alternative to pricier gadgets made by Apple and Samsung Electronics. Its success has made it China’s most valuable startup and second only to Uber in terms of global valuations.
中國的小米公司僅用了不到五年的時間,藉由以低價銷售高規格手機商品,在全球智慧型手機市場中躍昇至名列前茅的位置。與美國蘋果和南韓三星生產且較為昂貴的智慧型裝置相比,小米公司給中國消費者提供的是可負擔得起的國產化和實惠替代選擇,其產品也屢屢被中國消費者一掃而空。小米公司的成功使它一舉成為中國最具市場價值的新創企業,即使在全球範圍來算,其市值也僅次於 Uber。
So goes the story behind Xiaomi’s rise. Still, there’s one aspect of its business that can be hard to convey to the outside world: Its phones can be very, very, very difficult to buy.
以上便是小米崛起的故事,然而這其中尚有一個難與外界陳述的事實是:小米手機是非常,非常,非常難以購買的。
Xiaomi sells its phones only in China, India and a few other Asian markets. But that’s just the start of the difficulties. In China the company sells its newest phones online in limited batches through what are called flash sales. Xiaomi and analysts say that helps the company cope with demand for new products as it ramps up production.
目前小米公司僅在中國、印度及一些亞洲國家銷售智慧手機,不過這其實只是造成購買困難的第一個因素。小米公司在中國是透過所謂線上分批搶購的方式來銷售其最新機型。小米公司和分析家認為這種銷售方式有助於公司更好地控管新產品產量只能逐步上升可能造成的供不應求狀況。
On a practical level, it means those who aren’t quick enough with a computer mouse may have a long time to wait before they get one.
實際一點來說,這就表示那些使用電腦滑鼠不夠敏捷的人可能就得在買到一台小米手機之前要等上好長一段時間了。
I chose to buy a Xiaomi phone after the company lent me its newest phablet, the Note Pro, to use for a few weeks. I liked the large screen, decent camera and its take on Google’s Android phone-operating software, which in my opinion is still inferior to Apple’s mobile software but is closing the gap. Mostly, I liked the price – the Note Pro costs about half the price of Apple’s base-model iPhone 6 Plus, which is the same size but comes with only a quarter of the memory.
在小米公司把最新型的 Note Pro 智慧型大螢幕手機借給我使用了幾個星期之後,我決定自行購買一台小米手機。我非常喜歡它的大螢幕以及拍照效果不錯的鏡頭。小米手機使用的是 Google 公司的 Android 手機作業系統,雖然 Android 系統跟蘋果公司的 iOS 系統還存在一定差距,但這個差距正逐漸縮小中。我最在意的還是價格:小米 Note Pro 的售價僅為蘋果公司 iPhone 6 Plus 基本款(16 GB)的一半,且這兩台手機的尺寸一樣,而 Note Pro 的記憶體容量足足為 iPhone 6 Plus 的 4 倍 (64 GB)。
Another reason I liked it: In China-nerd circles, the phone is a conversation starter. People who follow China or technology but who aren’t on the mainland rarely see one. In that crowd everybody has an opinion of Xiaomi, ranging from respect for a scrappy startup to contempt for a cheap copycat. “Oh, you have a Xiaomi?” they ask, with some mix of curiosity and amusement.
我喜歡小米手機的另一個理由是,在愛好中國事物的群體之中,小米手機總是一個很不錯的開場白,因為關注中國或者科技產品但身不在中國的人很少能看見小米手機。那個群體的人對於小米都有各自的看法,有的人對這個草莽的新創公司表達尊重,也有人輕蔑地認為小米手機僅僅是廉價的山寨產品。他們會帶著愉悅和好奇問說:「哦?你的是小米手機?」
I chose to buy my phone like most Chinese people buy theirs: through an online flash sale. I skipped online brokers and secondhand dealers over concerns about malware and fakes. I also declined an offer from Xiaomi for a pass that would let me jump to the front of the line, an inducement it offers to its biggest Mi fans.
我選擇採用大多數在中國的消費者們所使用的方式來購買小米手機:線上搶購。出於對惡意軟體和假貨問題的擔憂,我略過了從網路賣家和二手交易者那邊購買的方案。我還放棄了小米公司提供的「插隊」優待,這對於廣大的「米粉」族來說可是項福利啊。
I went in with a co-worker, Olivia, who wanted to buy a budget-level phone for her father.
我和我的同事 Olivia 一起進行搶購,而她想幫她爸爸購買一台經濟實惠的手機。
Day 1第 1 天
Xiaomi holds its flash sales on Tuesdays at noon sharp. To buy one, a customer needs access to a Chinese debit or credit card or an account with an online payment system like Alibaba Group’s Alipay affiliate. With all those in check, I perched over my computer with my mouse at the ready.
小米在週二中午整點展開了一次搶購活動,想要參與的消費者必須擁有中國記帳卡、信用卡或者像隸屬阿里巴巴公司的支付寶那樣的線上付款系統。一切就緒以後,我手握滑鼠靜候在電腦旁邊嚴陣以待。
As it turns out, there’s another helpful prerequisite: An ability to read fine print in Chinese. My noontime click generated a message congratulating me for registering to try to buy a Xiaomi phone. The fine print on the website said people trying to buy a phone must first register on the site. My first true opportunity, it told me, would be next Tuesday.
有一個先決條件更能使我們成功搶購到手機:你需要具備讀懂中國文字的能力。我算好正午時間點下按鈕之後出現一個視窗,是一條恭喜資訊:小米網站祝賀我註冊成功,並可以開始嘗試搶購小米手機。網站上的中文有提示希望搶購小米手機的用戶必須先在網站進行註冊,我成功註冊以後的第一次嘗試機會變成了下週二。
Day 8第 8 天
Primed and registered, I set off with my mouse promptly at noon as if a starter’s pistol had gone off next to my ear. Two pages of options popped up on my browser. I read the Chinese as quickly as I could and clicked away.
確認註冊成功,且一切就緒以後,我又一次算準正午時分點下了滑鼠,那時的聲音就像是起跑槍的聲音從我耳邊呼嘯而過。隨後瀏覽器上出現了兩個頁面,我盡可能快速地閱讀了上面的中文資訊並隨後點了關閉。
Xiaomi’s mascot – a white rabbit named Mitu wearing a green Chinese army hat – popped up on my screen. It appeared to be running in place. The text explained that too many people were trying to buy phones too. “I’m lined up and currently moving forward with everything I’ve got,” it said.
小米的吉祥物,一隻戴著綠色中國軍帽,名為「米兔」的兔子出現在我的螢幕之上,一切看似順利。但上面的文字卻顯示目前搶購小米手機的人數已經太多,而且頁面一直顯示「正在排隊中」。
It ran with everything it had for the next 20 minutes. I wondered how long it would take for me to find out whether I had won my phone.
結果20 分鐘過去了,頁面所顯示的內容還是一樣,我當時就很好奇還需要等多久我才會知道是否搶到了手機。
A colleague, Yang Jie, walked by and sighed. “You didn’t get it, Carlos,” she said. Sure enough, the image soon changed to a Mitu gushing tears. “Sorry, we’re already sold out,” it said.
這時我一位同事Yang Jie經過並嘆了一口氣。她說:「Carlos,你沒有搶到。」果不其然,頁面隨後便出現了一隻淚水狂噴的米兔。上面寫著:「非常抱歉,我們已經售罄。」
I looked to Olivia, who shook her head. Sold out too.
我望向 Olivia 那兒,她搖了搖頭,顯然她也沒有搶到。
Day 15第 15 天
I noticed this time that Xiaomi offers potential buyers the option of ordering the Xiaomi phone for guaranteed delivery in a month. I snorted. Waiting, I decided, is for chumps. I’m not a chump. I’m a champ. Surely I can click as fast as anybody.
這次我注意到小米為潛在購買者提供了預約購買的服務,並保證在一個月內進行配送。我對此冷哼一聲。我主意已決,這種等待方案是準備給傻瓜的,但我並不是一個傻瓜,我是一個贏家,我肯定可以比別人更快點下滑鼠。
Apparently not. This time the crying Mitu quickly replaced the running Mitu. Sold out. On to next week.
結果根本事與願違,這次哭泣的米兔很快便取代跑步的米兔出現在了螢幕之上。再次售罄,只好再等到下個星期了。
But not with Olivia. Twice was enough, and she dropped out. “It’s too hard,” she said.
不過這次 Olivia 並沒有參與,因為她覺得兩次嘗試就夠了所以罷手。她說:「這太難了」。
Day 22第 22 天
I was on the phone with a colleague in Hong Kong when the trumpets from theme music of China’s national noon television broadcast blared across the newsroom. Noon! I scrambled to my open browser. Those precious seconds may have cost me. The crying Mitu mocked my inattention. Vigilance is the price of flash sales.
當時我在跟一位在香港的同事講電話,隨後我聽到了中國午間新聞的主題音樂。又到正午了!我習慣性反射地衝到開啟的瀏覽器前面,每一秒鐘都太寶貴了。哭泣的米兔再一次無情地嘲笑著我不夠投入的搶購行為。在進行秒殺搶購的時候警惕性實在是太重要了。
Day 29第 29 天
Xiaomi says it sells phones in limited batches strictly for production reasons, not to stoke demand through what’s known as scarcity marketing. “We have to monitor the demand for our smartphones, and produce our inventory accordingly, which requires us to use the flash sale model,” a spokeswoman said.
小米公司稱其之所以採用限量搶購的方式主要是由於產能問題,而並非像所傳的那樣利用所謂的「饑餓行銷」來刺激需求。「我們必須對自己智慧手機的銷量進行監控,並據此對庫存及產能進行調整,因此我們只能選擇限量搶購的模式。」小米公司的一位女發言人這麼說。
Whatever the reason, it resulted in a crying Mitu on my screen.
不管理由是什麼,最終我的螢幕上還是再度出現了一隻哭泣的米兔。
Day 36第 36 天
Hello again, you crying little lapin tease. Had I chosen to be a chump, instead of a champ, I’d have my Xiaomi by now.
再次見到了米兔的哭臉嘲諷。如果當初能自認蠢蛋,不要選擇當贏家的話,現在我應該已經把小米手機拿到手了。
Still, I wasn’t frustrated. More curious. Was it possible, in fact, to buy a Xiaomi phone?
但我並沒有感到沮喪,只是更加好奇用搶購這種方式的消費者究竟能否買到小米手機?
Day 42第 42 天
Noon on Tuesday in China came at 9 p.m. Monday at the airport in Phoenix, where I was schlepping two children from one set of grandparents to another. I thought about telling my wife I wanted to put down our luggage and pause our U.S. vacation while I try to buy a phone in China from a company that uses a militant rabbit as a mascot. I thought about the divorce proceedings. I kept silent.
中國週二的正午是美國鳳凰城(Phoenix)週一早上 9 點,當時我在鳳凰城的機場內,手上抱著兩個孩子,我剛把他們從祖父母處接回,現在正前往外祖父母的住處。當時我想要告訴太太我想放下行李並暫停我們的度假,因為我正嘗試從一家以軍裝兔子作為吉祥物的公司處搶購一台手機。只是在我想到了離婚的訴訟程序之後,我選擇了保持沉默。
Day 49第 49 天
I just plain forgot.
我壓根兒忘記了有搶購這件事情。
Day 55第 55 天
I logged into Xiaomi’s Chinese site the day before the Tuesday auction to register for the big showto be greeted with a message that the Note Pro was available for immediate sale. The Xiaomi spokeswoman later said that “we move from flash sales to open sales after we determine the exact alignment of demand and supply accordingly.” My Xiaomi would be waiting at my desk in Beijing when I returned.
我在週二的搶購開始之前就先登入小米的中文網頁,結果登入後我看到一則訊息說小米 Note Pro 已經可以即時購買。隨後小米公司的女發言人表示:「在確認了供應量能夠滿足需求量以後,我們決定將銷售方式從限量搶購調整為公開銷售。」在我回到北京的時候我的小米手機就已經躺在我桌子上等著我了。
TZ Wong, an analyst with research firm Canalys, says Xiaomi will need to broaden its distribution channels, “especially if it wants to achieve its ambitious 80 million to 100 million smartphone target for this year.” The Xiaomi spokeswoman said it doesn’t pursue market-share targets.
市場調查及研究機構Canalys 的分析師 TZ Wong 表示小米公司必須拓展其分配銷售的管道,「特別是如果他們想在今年達成 8 千萬至 1 億的銷售目標後。」但小米的女發言人稱公司並不以追求市場佔有率為目標。
My phone works fine so far. Does it work two-months’-wait fine? That’s between me and the Mitu.
目前我的手機運作的狀況一切良好,不過這支手機真的值得這兩個月的苦苦等候嗎?這個問題就留給我和米兔吧。

Success is an uphill battle with many obstacles to overcome but that’s because nothing great comes easy. The only way is to just do it. Nobody else is going to do it for you, but you, so what you gonna do?
With 9 mixtapes in catalog since 2012, Al Rocco releases his first original single #AllOnMe exclusively on iTunes this March 25th. Bilingual in English and Chinese, featuring Blow Fever and produced by Chace, the official music video will premier this April 23rd on #TheNextUnicorn. (An international TV show about start up companies competing with each other to be "the next Unicorn” meaning reaching the hundred million dollar status.) #AllOnMe will also be available on the popular mobile game #GroovesPlanet this May 2016 at the App store and Google play.

First Verse: Al Rocco
I started from the bottom
And I’m climbing to the top
Red money yeh I got them
And they telling me to stop
But i cant stop and i won’t stop i won't
On that jack ma getting paper but you know
And we working and we working and we working now
And we murking and we murking and we get it down
Cause everything i do i do for family
And I ain't got the time to waste my energy
And I gotta do it for my legacy
Ain't nobody gonna do it now its all on me
It's all on me it's all on me
Hundred million dollars like this melody
To be the only legendary UNI-C
Ain't no body gonna do it next it's all on me
Chorus: Al Rocco
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
To be the only legendary uni-c
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
Ain't no body gonna do it next it's all on me
Second Verse: Blow Fever
Fever Fever
我一直相信努力相信自己
做事高调做人lowkey
爱慕虚荣全都抛弃
再一步就能到目的
几乎每天工作直到late night
从来没有忘记追求best life
迷了路 回头看你pass life
要经历风雨的成功才叫class right?
有时候漫天雾霾不见flashing light
生活陷入灰色很难分清黑与白
是否付出的努力都能得到回报?
STOP!只有坚持信念才能get it right
走自己选的路让他们说命运有安排
更多压力能量就更多苦尽会甘来
一百分的拼 unicorn是目标
时间就是money remember what ur dream is
Let's do it
Chorus: Al Rocco
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
To be the only legendary uni-c
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
Ain't no body gonna do it next it's all on me
Bridge: Al Rocco
You talking about it I’m walking about it
You talk about nothing I’m keeping it 100
And now they know that i came and i done it
And now they be wondering how i could do it
You talking about it I’m walking about it
You talk about nothing I’m keeping it 100
And now they know that i came and i done it
And now they be wondering how i could do it
Chorus: Al Rocco
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
To be the only legendary uni-c
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
Ain't no body gonna do it next it's all on me
