Woman Makes Boyfriends Buy Her 20 iPhone 7s, Then Buys A House

2^min

A Chinese woman has bought a house after convincing her 20 boyfriends to each buy her an iPhone.

The story made major headlines when a woman blogging under the name of ‘Proud Qiaoba’ shared a story about her colleague.

She then went on to sell the pones to a mobile recycling site called 115 Chinese yuan (around 16,99 US Dollars), which she used as a deposit on a house in the countryside.

Proud Qioba blogged that her friend: "is not from a rich family. 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!"

People commenting on the story expressed their surprise at her enterprising method.

A hashtag translating as '20 mobiles for a house' began circulating on the site and became the country's top trend.
