‘Rich’ Chinese helicopter duo told to open their wallets
Shenzhen men asked for US$1,650 after forcing doors open to pose as wealthy in videos posted online
Two men have been asked to pay for damage caused to private helicopters in southern China after breaking into them to pose as wealthy on social media, according to mainland media reports.
The men posted pictures and videos of themselves with the helicopters in Shenzhen on the live-streaming app Kuaishou, Thepaper.cn reported.
One video showed a casually dressed man standing on a helipad in front of an open helicopter door, and another showed a more smartly dressed man standing on one of the vehicles in front of a McDonald’s restaurant.
“Hello everybody, I’m Zhui Mengge,” said one of the two in a video. “If your monthly salary is less than 100,000, please double-tap the screen to give us a like and prove you are working hard right now.”
