Buying a house is hard work. But, for this shrewd Chinese woman it was only a matter of timing. According to a report by Mirror, the Shenzhen, China native, convinced her 20 lovers to buy her an iPhone each, then traded them for the down payment for a home in the countryside.


Identified as Xiaoli from her social media account on the website Weibo, the woman sold the phones online and was able to net a good sum of money in return, which she used to buy the house. Her incredible story was first detailed in a blog by a coworker from her office, after which she became the talk of the office.


Xiaoli even invited some friends over to the house she purchased and explained how she was able to it. She has upto now gained instant media attention and has also made users on social networking sites like Twitter bombard it with positive and negative reactions.

While most of them supported and even hailed her move some users were not particularly keen on heaping praise even going as far as to call her, 'Shameless'.

According to blogger named Proud Qiaoba, who appears to be Xiaoli's colleague, her father is a migrant worker and her mom a housewife. She is the oldest daughter in the family, which is not a wealthy one.

He also speculates that she might have been inspired to take such a decision since her parents were getting old and the prospect of acquiring immediate real estate could have felt like a practical idea.
