David Tan has said that he was open to others taking over his business, but it appears the deal doesn’t involve him continuing to run it.
The owner of Authentic Mun Chee Kee King of Pig’s Organ Soup has turned down an offer of more than $500,000 because he wants to retire, Shin Min Daily News reported on Sunday (March 1).
He received at least five offers for his stall — from both individuals and companies — after news of the closure came out, the 60-year-old told the Chinese evening daily.
“Some offered me more than $500,000 but on the condition that I stay and work for at least one or two years,” he said, adding that others had even wished for him to expand the business.
“I want to retire, so I refused them all.”
After closing the eatery he’s been running for the past 15 years, David is going on a road trip around China and South America.
