    Does anyone remember this proposal? If you attracted foreign companies into the country that employed more than x workers, the government would pay you a hefty 'finders fee' type payment.

    Did it ever happen?

    I've seen this ad recently on a poster in the airport.
    If I bombard [insert american fast food joint that hipstery types love] with emails to locate here, can I apply for a heafy fee when they open their first outlet?
