Back leasing!
|
A 29-year-old man surnamed Huang in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, who works at an ad agency has found a part-time gig that's not a back-breaking job, but does utilize his back and experience. Huang leases his back out as a space to hang advertisements in an attempt to recoup 700 yuan he said he was cheated out of last month. He recently got his first client, a blind man looking for a wife.
Zeng Tianhua was blinded in an accident in 2000 when he worked as a welder. He now makes a living as a masseur and paid Huang 100 yuan ($14.6) to walk round for a day with his "wife wanted" plea. "I originally intended to charge Zeng 500 yuan a day, but eventually agreed to charge 100 yuan because I sympathize with blind people," Huang said, "I've received many calls recently and just signed another deal to carry an ad on my back for a pharmaceutical company for 500 yuan a day. So far, I have already earned 600 yuan to make up for my loss."
Huang doesn't want to quit and is brewing a new plan to open his own advertisement company and hire others to carry ads on their backs. "My business concept is similar to bus banner advertising. I can receive a commission from my clients." However, the feasibility of Huang's business plan remains a work in progress and it's unknown whether Zeng has found his Mrs Right.
