Well, there was probably the initial lowball offer by Foxconn, and then the family countered with a stupid high amount, and after a few minutes of bartering, they arrived at the final amount. Both parties thought they got a good deal.

There's a price to everything. And sadly, human lives are worth less than most of u guys want to believe.

^oops i used the 7500CDN ammount
44,000 isn't bad
thats at least a good 12-15 years for a typical factory worker!
Which would've been reasonable had he been in his 40s
But the poor guy was only 28 ;(

44,000 usd is a lot

with the 1 child policy selling your baby daughters was commonplace just a decade back in china.

I'm sure people were paying wayyy less than that.

May be she wanted one so she can go on plentyoffish.com to find replacements. Who knows?

i mean it wasn't too long ago that china would have just brushed this under the rug and the family gets a big fat zero.
