China is not were I would expect to find weird ideas (or at least not weird ideas that are in some way corrupt). Here’s a good one though, a real estate developer is inviting prospective buyers to hit on their sales staff, and if they eventually get married they’ll get a “bonus”.

Jin Tai Cheng, a Beijing company, is offering a creative solution for prospective buyers at its “Ecological Bay” Villa project. The company encourages future homeowners to date its sales girls and promises a wedding present of RMB 60,000 to any couple that ends up getting married. The official story is that the company lured the sales ladies with a commitment to pay 8% in sales commissions as well as the opportunity to strike gold by securing a wealthy husband.

Imagine if you need to get married in your job to get your bonus each year!

I would expect that there is a surplus of guys in China right now, so I’m a bit surprised that there would be a lot of women who can’t find someone to marry. But I guess, they want to marry someone who can at least afford a home.
