This footage shows a group of pretty bikini models who were hired to attract customers to a newly opened petrol station being ogled at by male customers.

The babes are seen mainly standing to one side and smiling awkwardly as ogling male motorists come and go at the station but they do not appear to be manning the pumps.

The event drew large numbers of customers to the filling station during its grand opening promotion between 24th and 26th November

Footage from the city of Lufeng, which is in South China’s Guangdong Province, shows the scantily-clad bikini models standing awkwardly among regular staff members at the petrol station.

The lightly dressed young women, including one stunning model covered in tattoos, were apparently hired to attract customers and help sell products such as bottled water on the side.

According to reports, the three-day promotion is also offering discounts of between 100 and 50 RMB for purchases above 200 and 100 respectively.

The use of bikini models at the grand opening appears to have divided opinions in mainland China, but the young women have reportedly been effective.
