Lu Yuan explained with a smile, "It's okay, they're just impatient with being touched all the time. I'll go and talk to them."
He then stepped forward and began to coax the four big ones.
"The old lady touched it because she liked you, so please don't be angry."
While speaking, he winked and made faces at the four big guys.
The time had come to test their teamwork. Lu Yuan didn't know if they could understand his meaning.
Fortunately, the four of them didn't disappoint him; they turned their heads to the side and went on strike.
Lu Yuan offered a few more kind words of advice before getting to the point.
"So you're saying that if we give you a bigger appearance fee so we can buy you more good food, you won't be angry anymore and you can keep taking pictures?"
Upon hearing this, everyone around Lu Yuan looked at him strangely, wondering where he got the idea that they had such thoughts.
Everyone thinks he's obsessed with money and is always thinking about making money.
Now they're openly asking for money under the guise of a few guardian beasts. Do they think they're stupid? Can't they see this is a disguised way of asking them for money?
The Shi family members' expressions immediately turned sour. They had already been very generous and had spent a lot of money on the trip up the mountain, but they couldn't just take advantage of their generosity and exploit them further.
At this point, her impression of Lu Yuan wasn't so good anymore.
But the next second, they were almost speechless with shock.
The four guardian beasts all nodded their large heads and even stretched out their claws, urging Lu Yuan to pay up quickly.
Lu Yuan hurriedly rummaged through his pockets, took out a handful of 100-yuan notes, and stuffed them into Xiong Hanhan's big hand.
But that wasn't enough; the four of them were still stretching out their claws.
Lu Yuan begged for mercy, "That's all, I owe you, I'll pay you next time."
The four of them just shook their heads.
Helpless, Lu Yuan turned all his pockets inside out, and there was indeed nothing there.
Upon seeing this, Old Mrs. Shi hurriedly said, "I have some, we have some."
After saying that, he turned and instructed his three sons and daughters-in-law to get the money.
Now no one thought Lu Yuan was deliberately taking advantage of them, and they readily paid up.
It turns out that the four guardian beasts really do want money. As long as they don't get angry, what's wrong with giving them money?
They have plenty of money, and they'd be willing to pay any amount of money to interact with such a fierce yet adorable guardian beast.
You know, if you don't come all the way here, you'll never see them in your lifetime.
When we get back to the port city, we can brag about this for the rest of our lives.
The Shi family received tens of thousands of yuan, and the four men finally lost their temper.
Lu Yuan told the Shi family to take photos quickly, and as for the cost, like with the Li family, they would settle the account after they came down the mountain.
The main problem was that I didn't bring much money with me when I went up the mountain.
With so many of them, they took even more photos. In the end, each person took more than a dozen photos, totaling more than 80 photos, which amounted to 1.49 million.
Lu Yuan said, "How about I give you a discount too? You give me 1.5 million, and I'll send you six extra photos?"
The Shi family readily agreed, saying that an extra 10,000 yuan would get them 6 more photos, which was well worth it.
Wei Wenqi and his two assistants were both numb.
They never dreamed they could take such expensive photos before, and they probably wouldn't believe it if they told others, thinking they were just bragging.
Millions of dollars, all of which were filmed by them. Even they themselves felt like they were walking on clouds, it all seemed so unreal.
Wei Wenqi was secretly pleased. Now let's see what those classmates and teachers who called him crazy have to say.
"That's a wrap. You've worked hard today. We'll give you a bonus later."
Lu Yuan came over and spoke to the three of them.
The three were even happier and thanked him with wide smiles.
Lu Yuan personally escorted the two Gods of Wealth back to their rooms. The Li family did not want to stay overnight, but Lu Yuan also provided them with rooms free of charge so they could rest. They would wait for the holy water offering for seven hours and would not descend the mountain until after dinner.
After settling the two families and Cheng Yanqiu, Lu Yuan went to find Lu Guoan and Old Man Liu.
Old Liu jumped up as soon as he saw him.
"You've finally arrived. With so much money, I dare not go anywhere but stay here."
Lu Yuan joked, "You don't even dare to go to the toilet, do you?"
Old Liu glared at him and started unbuckling his belt as he walked toward the toilet.
He was so afraid to even go to the toilet, and he kept a close eye on his money, worried that someone would suddenly come to his room and steal it.
Seeing the old man's urgent need to urinate, Lu Yuan burst into laughter.
He had clearly told him not to worry about anyone stealing money. He already knew that the Li family was going to do a good deed worth millions, so how could he not make some preparations?
I had already spoken to Qian Bing and asked him to send someone to keep an eye on Qian secretly, so that nothing could go wrong.
Lu Yuan and Lu Guoan counted the money they had earned that day, and both of them grinned foolishly.
Lu Guoan, in particular, was trembling as he held the money.
"That's too much. They made so much in just one day. I hope they won't change their minds and ask for the money back later."
Lu Yuan chuckled, "Don't worry, they won't get the money back, and they won't want it anyway."
Lu Yuan took out a notebook and wrote down all the day's expenses.
"Today's donations, including photos, food, and lodging, amount to 3.1135 million. There is still an outstanding debt of 2.6 million for the photos."
"hiss……"
Lu Guoan gasped, "They made over 5 million in just one day!"
It feels so unreal.
"Not only that, there's also the 400,000 from selling the medicine, but since the medicine is mine, it won't be recorded in the village's accounts."
Lu Guoan nodded. "Of course."
In fact, if you ask him, neither the donation money nor the money from taking photos should go into the village's accounts; it was all earned by Lu Yuan.
"If we could make this much money every day, our village would be truly prosperous."
Lu Yuan glanced at the sky outside the window and replied with a smile.
"Uncle, while it's still daytime, it's certainly a good time to daydream."
"You little rascal..." Lu Guoan said with a laugh.
Lu Yuan: "We can only make money for a couple of days. Unless a big boss who is willing to spend money comes over, we won't have much income normally."
"Making money like this once is already a huge achievement; how could we dare to hope for it to happen every day?" Old Liu chimed in as he returned from the toilet.
Lu Yuan's plan was to remain closed for three years, then operate for another three years.
He only wants to make money from the rich. Ordinary people won't eat, stay, or take photos here because they simply can't afford it.
Although they would put a few cents or dollars into the donation box, it wasn't enough to pay the temple staff's salaries.
Lu Yuan took 10,000 yuan and gave it to Lu Guoan.
"Uncle, this is for you."
"For me?" Lu Guoan was shocked.
"What are you going to do with so much money?"
“You get one, Uncle Liu and Wenqi get one too, and other cadres will get one as well, it’s just a matter of how much. I will give all staff members a 100 yuan red envelope today, and there will be extra bonuses when they receive their salaries.”
Lu Guoan swallowed hard. "Since everyone else has some, I'll take the money."
Then he chuckled, "Hehehe, hahahaha..."
It just won't stop.
Damn, who would have thought he'd end up like this!
He became a millionaire in just one day!
