A
lady from Shenzen, China, known only as Xiaoli has managed to raise
approximately £14,000 which she has since used to buy a house in the
countryside.
And Xiaoli didnt sweat a bit to raise the money for the house, Instead she managed to convince all 20 of her boyfriends to buy her an iPhone 7 each.
Canny Xiaoli then sold each of the handsets via the website Hui Shou Nao and made 115,010 Chinese yuan (£13,991)
Xiaoli's story appeared initially appeared on a blogging forum and was shared by user Proud Qiaoba
"Everyone in the office is talking about this now," they added.
"Who knows what her boyfriends think now this news has become public."
According
to Proud Qiaoba, who appears to work with Xiaoli, the woman is not from
a wealthy family and her "mum is a housewife and her dad is a migrant
worker, and she is the oldest daughter."
"Her parents are getting
old and she might be under a lot pressure hoping to buy them a house…
But it's still unbelievable that she could use this method!"
As you'd expect, Xiaoli's money-making scheme has divided opinion.
When the story was first shared on the Chinese social network Weibo, many users branded her as 'shameless'.
However, there were plenty of people who praised her ingenuity.
One
woman wrote, "I can't even find one boyfriend. She can actually find 20
boyfriends at the same time and even get them to buy her an iPhone 7.
Just want to ask her to teach me such skills."
