From buttocks to face and from Shenzhen to Beijing, comes an eyebrow-raising tale of two body parts and two cities.

An unidentified man from East China's Anhui Province arrived in Beijing on Sunday offering a unique business plan.

Holding up a sign reading "Face for sale," the man allegedly sought a win-win business partner on a busy city street. He offered to endure 100 face slaps if the agreed project collapsed.

Nobody took up his offer yesterday but three years ago, he reportedly successfully sold the rights to slap his buttocks in Shenzhen in a similar scheme.
