The following is a summary of the contents of the article:
A few months ago, Thomas Fliess Jr., who harvested maize and soybeans on his own land, now has his land expropriated during the winter, and on the open fields Out of a large number of green plants, he is the first millionaire Foxconn achievements.
小 弗林斯 55 year old, strong build (he exercises every morning in the gym), a short hair, often with a smile on his face.Friends Frings has 5 daughters and 11 grandchildren, granddaughter, twelfth Grandchildren (women) will be born in July.
In addition to caring for children, Little Frings needs to cultivate about 1,500 acres of land, both owned and leased land; and he also has a part-time job - the truck driver at UPS Express, who is always busy every day commonplace.
He never thought the price of the land could be so high - he got nearly $ 7 million in land compensation from Foxconn, saying he was selling his 147 acres (about 892 acres) of land to Foxconn After the company, he plans to live on the ground in the future.
Last summer, several owners, including Little Frings, agreed to abandon their sale at Mount Pleasant farmland to Foxconn for a price of 50,000 U.S. dollars (about 82.37 million U.S. dollars) per acre, almost the same as before Five times the market price, they now have to leave the land with millions of dollars.
He laughed and said, 'I am too old to start again, but it is still a bit short of my retirement age.'
Reluctantly
Photo 2: Old Frings, printed with Proud to be a Farmer T-shirt, seemed happy to be a millionaire farmer at the expense of losing his land, Lins; but some people are not excited, resentment about where life has been living, such as small Frings's father - the old Thomas Frings.
Old Frings, who last week received a total of $ 18 million in checks and transferred 380 acres to Foxconn, has lived there for more than 50 years and insists he never wanted to sell his land He said he wanted to 'die in this farm and leave the land to my children.'
Recently there was a visit to Frings' residence, referring to his new millionaire status, but Frings responded: "Do not congratulate me."
'I am an old man, and I already have enough money for me to be old-age, and those lands are what I am interested in, 'he said.
Frings, who turns 83 this week, spent the rest of his life at the farm and at the factory, anguished for his high hunched back - his waist bent 45 degrees and walking hobbled.
Continue farming
Along Highway H, just over 10 km from the old house of Old Frings, builders are laying a 24-inch pipe that will provide Foxconn with water.
In the future, Highway H will be built as a four-lane road with slow lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the road. In the currently undecided plan, Old Frings' house is right in the middle of the road and according to the plan, Also build a 'pressure station'.
Although Old Frings is almost certain to move in the very near future, he still wants 'old' here, and his current plan is to get compensation to buy another farm, though he no longer runs himself - - He has not run himself in five or six years - but he wants to leave these legacy to his family.
He said: 'I definitely need to buy another farm, and if I give everything to the government, I will be cursed.'
His son, Little Frings, although optimistic about government land acquisition, has a similar plan himself, and in fact, Little Frings said he has used the millions of Foxconn compensation payments for the acquisition New farmland and plans to buy more land in the future.
Little Frings said he lost half of his own 1,500 acres of land after he transferred the land to Foxconn and other projects underway, but the newly purchased land would probably help to balance the situation Little Flynn said he will continue to farm in the future, 'I hope I can get my own pension next time.
