Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 197 Millions Online
The market price of DNF is still rising.

Just at the end of January, 23 days after DNF was launched, the number of simultaneous online users exceeded 100 million.

In less than a month, it created an unprecedented record in the history of Chinese online games.

Before DNF, there were several games that reached millions online.

It took 22 months for Fantasy Westward Journey to reach one million online users.

It took 36 months for WOW to reach one million online users.

Zhengtu reached one million online users in 12 months.

DNF reached one million online in 23 days.

Moreover, the number of Fantasy and Conquest reached one million only after multiple accounts were allowed, but DNF does not allow dual accounts.

Such results shocked everyone in the industry.

The game newspaper even printed three big words on the front page: "The wolf is coming!"

In addition to the quality of the game itself, such an achievement is also related to Renren's dedicated promotion and the good performance of its servers.

Along with the extremely high popularity came endless praise and a significant increase in revenue.

DNF has spawned a brick-moving industry, and many people make money by playing games.

In fact, whether a game is popular or not can be seen to a large extent from the number of brick-moving players in it.

Tian Hongrui is also very strict in the management of DNF.

In response to the emergence of plug-ins on the market, Renren.com and the Wujiang District Public Security Bureau directly pursued the culprits across provinces and went straight to the source.

After all, a big part of the reason for the legend's decline back then was due to plug-ins.

The strong rise of DNF has diverted some players from "World of Warcraft" and "Zhengtu", causing a decline in the number of online players of other companies and making other manufacturers pay more attention to introducing games from other countries and regions.

According to gossip, Ding Sanshi has planned to stab Jiucheng in the back and has begun negotiations with Blizzard to seize the agency rights for World of Warcraft in mainland China.

Tencent also announced that its "Cross Fire" has officially started internal testing and will be publicly tested later.

After receiving the January revenue report, Chen Pingjiang smiled from ear to ear.

He really deserves to be called the money-making king.

In less than a month, it generated nearly 2 million in revenue.

Even if it takes 1% of it, Renren can still earn million, which is enough to make back the agency fee.

Horror!
There is nothing wrong with DNF not making money from the poor.

As a PC game, DNF has too many ways to make money.

Tens of thousands of RMB for strengthening and amplification are just a drop in the bucket. At the beginning, a big shot prepared 3 million RMB to give Xu Xu Baby equipment amplification, which shows the potential of the game.

The recently launched Spring Festival gift package is a great money-maker, and there are extra rewards for repeat purchases.

At the beginning of February, DNF took advantage of its success and carried out cross-border cooperation with multiple brands.

The first to be affected is China Merchants Credit Card, followed by KFC and Wahaha.

Chen Pingjiang is no longer satisfied with the product itself and has begun to build IP value.

On the one hand, this cross-border cooperation brings huge traffic to the game itself and obtains frequent exposure. On the other hand, it also affirms the commercial value of the game IP from another perspective.

What is even more talked about is that Tian Hongrui and Qidian Chinese Network in Shanghai have jointly launched an essay competition about DNF.

In 2007, online games were a very popular topic on Qidian Chinese website.

Whether it is "Re:Zero", "The World of Online Games" or "The Blood of Beasts", they all have a large number of readers.

To some extent, DNF is very suitable as a carrier for online literature.

…………

The first day of the Chinese New Year in 2008 is February 2th, and there are only a few days left.

Before going home, Chen Pingjiang had to take the time to finalize the financing of Zhizhen Catering.

Originally, the financing should have been done in early January, but DNF was launched at that time, so it was delayed after comprehensive consideration.

After the news that Chen Pingjiang's catering company wanted to raise funds spread through He Zhiyu's small circle, some local companies and bosses in Dongjiang expressed interest.

The main reason is that Chen Pingjiang’s name is a golden signboard.

Some people don't even care about whether there is investment or not, or whether there is a return or not. They will be satisfied as long as they can have a chance to connect with Chen Pingjiang.

After He Zhiyu told the small business circle, a group of people started clamoring that there was no point in holding a financing reception and that everyone could just split the profits.

Who doesn't know that He Zhiyu, Liu Cheng and others have become richer and richer since they started following Chen Pingjiang for meals?

However, this proposal was rejected by Chen Pingjiang.

He Zhiyu was quite dedicated to his work and made contacts everywhere, but soon the situation changed and more and more people came to him through their connections and asked for invitations.

This made He Zhiyu a little amused and helpless. He didn't expect that someone would come forward to give him money.

Originally, the number of people at the cocktail party was planned to be controlled within thirty, but it kept increasing and finally increased to fifty.

This was not enough, and many old contacts from various channels still called He Zhiyu, making him a popular figure for a while. But no matter what was said, He Zhiyu did not agree to add more people, because if there were more, it would seem crowded and mixed.

To this end, He Zhiyu made a bold move, explaining to the public that this was a financing reception, not a messy social reception, and that participants must have a real intention to invest, so participants must pay a deposit of 500 million.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the Zhizhen Catering Group's financing reception was held.

Chen Pingjiang, Ge Mengshi and the heads of three brands under the company attended the event.

The most nervous person was Zhu Yuanlan. She was only a high school graduate and she couldn't imagine that she would have the opportunity to attend such a grand event. She was so nervous that she was afraid of exposing herself and making a fool of herself when she wore an evening gown for the first time.

Over the past year and a half, life has undergone tremendous changes for Zhu Yuanlan.

It is a dream to transform from a working girl to a middle or senior management of a company.

Now she bought a second-hand house in Dongjiang some time ago and brought her parents over from her hometown. The family of three lives happily together.

Zhu Yuanlan knows very well who gave her the stage and opportunity she has today.

When Panamera received Ge Mengshi, Chen Pingjiang's eyes widened.

Ge Mengshi is so different today.

She took off her usual commuting suit and put on a pure black dress, which immediately brought out her femininity.

Her long hair fell naturally in big waves, and the halter dress showed off her fair shoulders to the fullest. The most amazing thing was the "straight" collarbone, which perfectly met Chen Pingjiang's aesthetic standards.

The crystal clear jewels sparkled with a strange light under the sunset glow. A golden chain gently tied into a bow pattern around her waist, making Ge Mengshi's waist look even more slender.

Chen Pingjiang was dazzled by the white back, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He joked, "It's a pity not to use cupping on such a good back."

Ge Mengshi's figure is indeed good. She has meat where it should be meaty, and is thin where it should be thin. Because she exercises regularly, her upper arms have no excess fat, and they are not as thin as bamboo poles.

What is even more different from Yan Yan is that facing Chen Pingjiang's fiery gaze, Ge Mengshi did not show any shyness, but smiled confidently, full of aura and charm.

"If you like it, I'll show you how to do the cupping later."

Oh hoo!

Chen Pingjiang felt that there was something a little bit wrong with Ge Mengshi today. Normally, Ge Mengshi would not say such bold words.

What he didn't know was that all the dresses Ge Mengshi wore to cocktail parties in the past were conservative styles, never showing her shoulders or back. But today, at Qin Suqin's strong suggestion, she put on a "battle suit".

"Shishi, trust me, be bold today, show your charm and completely fascinate him."

When we arrived at the hotel, Qin Suqin, Nan Xinzhi and Zhu Yuanlan, the three golden flowers, had been waiting for a while.

Chen Pingjiang took the lead, and four beauties followed him into the elevator.

Seeing Chen Pingjiang's attitude, He Zhiyu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Wow, does your company specialize in producing beauties? When you come out together, your aura is so strong."

The management configuration of Zhizhen Catering may not even be found in China.

The cold and beautiful Ge Mengshi, the shy Zhu Yuanlan, the charming young ladies Qin Suqin and Nan Xinzhi made Chen Pingjiang nod his head: "We call them the Iron Lady Corps in our company. They are very powerful."

Outsiders who didn't know what was going on saw that Chen Pingjiang and the others all had ambiguous smiles on their faces.

Any normal person would think that the young Chen Pingjiang had some special hobbies.

In this regard, Chen Pingjiang could only helplessly spread his hands.

Zhu Yuanlan is an old employee, Ge Mengshi was poached, and Qin Suqin and Nan Xinzhi were brought in, which is how things finally turned out.

As soon as they entered the venue, the other three dispersed, leaving only He Zhiyu and Ge Mengshi following Chen Pingjiang.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Right now, the three words "Chen Pingjiang" are very popular in Dongjiang City and even in the whole country. Some people even speculate that once Renren.com successfully goes public, Chen Pingjiang may even be able to rank among the top three richest people in the country.

But to be honest, Chen Pingjiang is not very interested in the so-called pig-killing list, and prefers to make a fortune in silence.

As He Zhiyu continued to introduce, there were always groups of three or five people surrounding Chen Pingjiang.

Ge Mengshi, who was following beside him, always had that figure talking with high spirits and eloquence in her eyes.

Just a year ago, Chen Pingjiang had to secretly make a fake invitation letter to attend a cocktail party. He was as humble as a minion at the party and no one paid attention to him.

But today, one year later, it has become the unique focal point in the venue.

There were even some bosses who brought their young and beautiful daughters to Chen Pingjiang. If they hadn't been intimidated by Ge Mengshi standing by, they would probably have been even more proactive.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, hello, I am..., we have known each other for a long time, and now that I have met you today, I can see that you are as famous as I have been told."

"Mr. Chen, our company is very interested in Zhizhen Catering's financing plan. When would it be convenient for you to have a deeper discussion?"

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am..."

The vast majority of people just wanted to make friends, and financing was just a side thing. They regarded it as a bridge to get to know Chen Pingjiang.

This twenty-year-old young man who is said to have miraculous skills is actually the God of Wealth.

There were even some people online who photoshopped Chen Pingjiang into the image of the God of Wealth.

We have all seen rich people, but there are only a few such young self-made bosses in the world.
