Peking U butcher to enter joint venture
( 2003-09-18 14:00) (China Daily)
A Peking University graduate who surprised the public with his humble
butcher's job has decided to enter into a joint venture with an American
investor, reports Shanghai-based Wenhui Bao.
Lu Buxuan became something of an overnight media star when newspapers from
all over the country dogged him for more stories following a report revealing
the contrast between his illustrious university qualifications and his current
job as a butcher running a 20-square metre shop.
Since his plight was exposed, a number of universities in Xi'an, Shaanxi
Province have contacted him, wanting to hire him as a professor.
Lu initially decided to start teaching at the Xi'an University of Engineering
Science & Technology.
But he recently changed his mind after an American company suggested building
up a nationwide chain of stores selling meat and other foods with
him.
