Chapter 491: 485, National Husband (First Update)_1
Ren He realized that being affectionate with Yang Xi wasn’t going to work out for now, so he continued to diligently write the following two sequels to the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
If Kunlun had been released in his past life, could it have been as popular as it is now? The answer is no; environmental factors were at play.
In his past life, with martial arts masters like Jin Yong, Wen Ruian, and Gu Long setting the precedent, Kunlun’s debut always felt a bit undercooked. In the second part, Cang Hai, Kunlun aimed to capture the feeling of the little people drifting through the jianghu, history, and the grand era. However, the approach paled in comparison to that of Jin Yong.
The depth of thought was also lacking. For example, readers complained that Kunlun’s protagonist actually helped the Yuan Dynasty wipe out the Song Dynasty. Since the Yuan Dynasty was a foreign power, the protagonist was seen as betraying his country.
However, Ren He felt this was unnecessary. The hatreds and grudges of the little people in the vast sweep of history are illusory; imposing ancient histories on one’s present is equally unnecessary.
Reading a novel doesn’t require so much fuss. Ren He himself had no sense of identity with the history of ancient times; to make him feel connected to the Song Dynasty was impossible... If it was destroyed, then it was destroyed. Ren He felt it didn’t really matter that much...
In his past life, Kunlun had not been a big hit, and even when it came to choosing film and television rights, Kunlun was pushed to the back.
However, now, without Jin Yong, without Wen Ruian, without Gu Long, the position of Kunlun in the world of martial arts novels shines all the brighter.
Innumerable people were looking forward to the sequels, eager to know what happens next in the story and burning with passion for the pure martial arts dream.
Once there’s a pioneer, others follow. After Kunlun’s success, a slew of similar martial arts novels were born, some with even superior writing. But people are best at remembering the first one. In their hearts, the author of Kunlun is the progenitor of the new generation of martial arts novels; his status is beyond dispute.
Ren He took three days to write the second part, Cang Hai, and without hesitation, he handed it over to Elder Zhou for Qinghe Fund’s copyright earnings, continuing to contribute to charitable causes.
This time, there’s no need to sell filming rights; Qinghe Fund would manage the entire copyright operation for "Cang Hai" themselves, while the game adaptation would continue to be developed by Qinghe Games. With Qinghe Games’ current capabilities, it would take less than a month to produce the game adaptation of Cang Hai. Such a task was overly simple for them, and didn’t even require any guidance from Ren He.
Of course, if at this point, such detailed work still needed Ren He’s oversight, it would only mean the Qinghe Games team was too weak.
But the reality is far from that; Qinghe Games is strong, even revered as the strongest in the world!
In a mere two months, Dota’s concurrent players reached 6.7 million, unmatched by any other game. The astonishing aspect—Qinghe Games’ monthly net profit had reached 120 million US dollars, which is roughly 960 million RMB.
This far exceeded Ren He’s own expectations. At first, he thought it would be great to replicate the success of his previous life. In that life, when Dota had 1.4 million concurrent players online, its monthly profit reached 45 million.
Moreover, this parallel world’s gaming industry is in a state of scarcity. When a dominant game arrives, the situation is much more optimistic than in his past life.
Qinghe Games became a bona fide global money-making machine. Outside estimates of Qinghe Group’s value soared, and countless people were astonished that its founder was still just a 17-year-old teenager.
Ren He is undoubtedly China’s youngest billionaire, and he is also the sole legal heir to the Luohe Group...
Very few people can face such wealth and remain unmoved!
A peculiar phenomenon appeared on Weibo: one day, the number of followers on Ren He’s Weibo account started to skyrocket geometrically, rising from over a million fans to over 30 million, and the number was still climbing rapidly every day.
Ren He’s Weibo had always been operated by Qinghe’s publicity department, and he only occasionally posted a tweet himself. The default account on his phone belonged to Knight...
The content on Ren He’s Weibo was plain, mostly related to Dota’s version updates, match results, and the spirits of Qinghe’s employees, void of flaunting wealth or personal life statuses, appearing very professional...
However, beginning from a certain tweet, strange comments started to emerge below...
"Ren He, I want to have your baby."
"Hubby, what did you have for lunch today..."
The term "Hubby" suddenly appeared, and countless people joined the bandwagon, most of them online trolls having a laugh.
Initially, Qinghe’s publicity department was dumbfounded—their big boss seemed to have too many wives. Later they realized it was just a trend being set...
Everyone was a bit bemused. Was this the charm of money? But, indeed, their big boss was the richest young man in China, no doubt about it.
When Ren He was informed about this, he was also taken aback. This was the kind of attention Principal Wang received in his previous life, so why was it happening to him now?
As everyone called him hubby, Ren He suddenly became like a national husband figure, and even more fans were concerned with one thing—does Ren He have a girlfriend now...?
When Xu Nuo called Ren He, she was smacking her lips, "The accounts with the top three follower counts on Weibo now, two are yours, and one is Yang Xi..."
This kind of fame was what countless people in his previous life yearned for. Having fans meant economic benefits; one advertisement could mean a lot of money to spend. Ren He also hoped that everyone could realize that Weibo was not just a social media platform, but also a place to make money.
Once Weibo could be associated with money, the number of users will inevitably rise. Ren He even instructed Qinghe’s Meitu as well as group buying and travel platforms to select influencers or create ads from celebrities who went viral online. On one hand, they could utilize these currently affordable celebrities to increase visibility, and on the other hand, they could give these influencers a taste of success to boost Weibo’s fame.
When Qinghe’s faction was formed, group warmth and mutual aid became the norm, and also the biggest ace up Qinghe Group’s sleeve. No one could share resources as thoroughly as Qinghe.
It’s like everyone playing a game of Dou Dizhu, and before all the cards were even dealt, Qinghe already threw down a king-sized bomb followed by a straight flush, securing a victory over everyone...
This left competitors feeling powerless. Previously, everyone was watching to see how Qinghe would develop with such a broad scope: are you sure you can make all these projects successful?
Now, Qinghe has proven with facts that yes, we can make all projects successful. Who do we thank? Our foresighted big boss.
