Chapter 338: 336, I am the boss of Qinghe Games (Third Update)_1

Su Ruqin and her associates had done their research on Ren He, but it was only limited to understanding his family situation. Meanwhile, Skydrive observed Ren He to see whether he was involved with any overseas organizations. In the end, it turned out that Ren He was very resistant to joining Skydrive, and there had even been an assassination attempt on him by a foreign organization, so this suspicion was ruled out. Whether it was a real assassination attempt or just for show, Skydrive had a clear idea.

Thus, although both parties had investigated Ren He, neither was aware that he had started his own business or that he was the Knight. Skydrive didn’t have the resources to pay much attention to Knight either; the only one who did was currently busy abroad fighting criminal forces.

When Ren He claimed that he had earned the money by himself, Su Ruqin and the others were somewhat puzzled. With so much money, even the current public figures known as master-level musicians couldn’t make tens of millions, let alone more than a top pop singer.

Despite Yang Xi’s fame, without having held any concerts, her current record sales were only in the tens of millions, and she was already considered the domestic Queen.

So, when Ren He initially said the money was all earned by himself, they were a bit incredulous. Su Ruqin, being a businesswoman herself, knew all too well how hard it was to make money. A kid making tens of millions? It sounded like a fairy tale.

Ren He, too, was considering what he could and couldn’t disclose, at least adamant that Knight’s affairs were off-limits!

Which parents wouldn’t hope for a good future for their children? A good future didn’t necessarily mean extreme wealth but at least a life of sufficiency and peace. But the ventures Ren He was involved in were life-threatening, and to parents, these things might suddenly become fatal. If Su Ruqin knew about them, she definitely would have insisted that Yang Xi not be with Ren He.

Ren He weighed his words and asked, "I don’t know if you’ve heard of a game called Kunlun?"

Su Ruqin was startled for a moment, "I’ve heard of it. What about it?"

In fact, the game Kunlun had already become a national phenomenon. Whether you played it or not, the ubiquitous advertising and media coverage were inevitable, so it was normal to have heard of it. In Su Ruqin and Yang En’s minds, they might not know whether the game was enjoyable or what it was about; that wasn’t their concern.

However, they remembered that the game was incredibly popular, the first in the country to reach a million concurrent players, and it stood at the top of the industry in terms of its money-making ability.

Ren He smiled, glad that she had heard of it. He explained, "Kunlun is a game I developed, and its parent company is called Qinghe Games. I own 97% of Qinghe Games’ shares. It’s not just this game; we also have a global game with 1.57 million concurrent players in operation, and that number is still multiplying geometrically. Our goal is to reach 20 million concurrent players. As for Kunlun’s significance to Qinghe Games, it serves as the lifeblood, allowing us to have more funds to create even finer games. Its current monthly profit is 47 million RMB..."

Su Ruqin and Yang En were completely stunned. Qinghe Games belonged to Ren He?!

Yang En turned to Yang Xi, "Did you know about this?"

"Yes," Yang Xi nodded; she knew everything about Ren He.

Yang En inhaled sharply. What did a monthly profit of 47 million RMB mean? Even with Su Ruqin’s total assets of over a billion, her monthly profit was only over 20 million!

This was the difference between the real economy and the virtual economy; the costs in the virtual economy were just too low...

This piece of information took Su Ruqin a moment to fully digest. What was going on? The young man she had mentally labeled as a profligate had suddenly transformed into a successful entrepreneur?

Moreover, judging by the cash-absorbing capability of his company, one could say that earning for one year would ensure that Yang Xi wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Su Ruqin had a deeper understanding of Qinghe Games than Yang En, for her own company was also in a transitional period during the swift development of the internet. The internet economy was something that no business tycoon could afford to ignore, and gaming was a critical component.

So at certain summits, people seriously discussed the game Kunlun and the company Qinghe Games, because it was Qinghe Games that made everyone start to realize: the ability of games to attract money is actually quite terrifying!

This was a representative case, so it was normal for people to discuss it, and Su Ruqin had also been one of the discussants!

She had heard before that the boss of Qinghe Games was a 16-year-old boy who was in the same class as Yang Xi, but wasn’t his name Xu Nuo? How had it become Ren He? She had never even considered that the founder of the gaming company she once earnestly discussed was sitting right in front of her.

That’s not right, the smart and wise Su Ruqin quickly caught a flaw in Ren He’s words, "With so little pocket money each month, where did you get so much money to produce this game? The copyright for Kunlun must cost a lot of money, right?"

Yeah, you say you only get 5 RMB for pocket money a month, that wouldn’t even cover the cost of registering a company, let alone buying the copyright for Kunlun. The copyright for Kunlun must be worth millions at least, right?

Ren He, with a smile, said, "I wrote Kunlun myself, and the first pot of gold I made was from it, plus I sold three songs to my cousin Yang Xi and Jiang Siyao for an income of 2.4 million. Since it was written by me, there’s no issue with copyright..."

Su Ruqin was silent for a long while... This was somewhat unexpected, who knew he even began writing novels? What else is there that she didn’t know?

It was Yang En who spoke first, "Since we’ve agreed to your relationship with Yang Xi, we also hope you can be more frank and open, don’t make us ask you about it. It’s better you tell us yourself."

Digging out information bit by bit is really too tiring, if you really want to be our daughter’s husband, we need to know a bit more about you, don’t wait for us to take action, just tell us yourself.

Now that they had discovered Ren He’s commercial ventures, with the Yang Family’s capabilities, they could definitely find out if they wanted to, but it was better to have Ren He tell them himself; it would be more forthright that way.

Indeed, Yang En had used the word "forthright" in his mind.

He was in the business of espionage, but now that Yang Xi had gone abroad, he couldn’t continue that kind of work. In fact, he would become a diplomat at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, which would keep nosy troublemakers from threatening Yang Xi’s safety.

This was the difference between having a status and not having one. When serving as an ambassador, everything he did represented China, and not many would dare to actually do anything to him. Of course, there were real madmen, but not in the United States; such madmen were usually in war-torn areas like Africa.

Without a status, he was just a spy, and there wasn’t a concept of misfortune not befalling the family; he wasn’t representing China.

The more he engaged with this industry, the more he felt it was not right to investigate his own people for information. Edward Snowden, who was branded a traitor in Ren He’s previous life in the United States, was just such a person. They were committed to protecting national security, but when Snowden found out that the nation was actually compromising the privacy and security of its citizens, he could not sit still. Hence, he exposed the entirety of America’s PRISM program to the public and even while he was in Hong Kong, he was dodging the US’s pursuit, but he still made that choice.

It was a sense of justice in his heart that drove him. Indeed, there were such lovely people in the world, and Yang En himself was probably one of them.

He felt it was better to let Ren He tell them himself, rather than to investigate through the national machinery.

Ren He organized his thoughts and said, "I wrote Kunlun and a few other works, which brought in some income. Through this, I got acquainted with Elder Zhou Wumeng, who has been helping to handle all my copyright operations and taking good care of me. Later, I founded Qinghe Games. After Yang Xi transferred to Capital, I obtained a household registration index from Capital Journalism Group to relocate, and Elder Zhou recommended me to No.4 Middle School... I guess Elder Zhou and I can be considered friends despite the age difference. We are both interested in public welfare. By that time, Qinghe Games was also making money, so I transferred some of the copyright revenues and established Qinghe Fund to engage in philanthropy. Yes, the Qinghe Fund is also mine... Have you heard of the Qinghe Fund?"
