Chapter 288 Land Nature Problem
"Director, do you understand bot mode?"

At this time, Li Changhe asked Director Liao softly.

Director Liao nodded immediately: "You mean the model of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel on Hong Kong Island?"

"Correct!"

Li Changhe nodded.

The so-called bot mode is the abbreviation of three English words: build - operate - transfer.

It is a form of cooperation invented by capitalist countries in recent years in order to introduce private capital into national construction.

To put it simply, the Bot model is that the government proposes a project, private individuals pay for its construction, and then obtain certain exclusive operating rights, and then return them to the government when the time comes.

The most typical one is the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel on Hong Kong Island.

The Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel was planned by the Hong Kong government, and the entire construction was funded by Pao Yu-kong, who invested 3.2 billion to build the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel.

As a result, the Bao family obtained the exclusive operating rights of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel for 40 years.

After the 40-year operating rights expire, the tunnel operating rights will be returned to the Hong Kong government.

In other words, nowadays in Hong Kong Island, all the money paid for crossing the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel is paid to the Bao family.

And this is exactly the project that Li Changhe proposed at the end of his plan.

To put it bluntly, it is very difficult to ask the domestic government to take Li Changhe's money directly now, and the top leaders cannot say that they have violated their promise.

And if Li Changhe were allowed to invest, it would be a hassle to decide which industry to invest such a large amount of money in.

There are some industries that the country will not open to Li Changhe, and there are also some industries that Li Changhe cannot be allowed to get involved in.

This is not only a problem that the upper echelons need to consider, but also a problem that Li Changhe needs to consider.

And last night, Li Changhe actually came up with an idea.

That’s the film and television city!

The film and television city is a large investment project and belongs to the cultural industry, but it does not affect other things.

To put it simply, it is a typical money-consuming project.

For the country, a film and television city project actually has little impact. It is nothing more than building some antique buildings and increasing construction experience.

But for Li Changhe, this is a major event that affects an entire industry.

Apart from anything else, as long as the film and television city is built, his influence on the future film industry will be absolutely beyond imagination.

"You mean, you want to build a film and television city in China in the same way as the Hung Hom Tunnel?"

Director Liao asked solemnly at this time.

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes, I think so."

"I can use a company in Hong Kong Island to invest 2-3 million US dollars in the country to build a film and television city in the name of investment."

"At that time, the operating rights of the film and television city will belong to a company registered in Hong Kong Island, for example, the exclusive operating rights will be set at 30 or 40 years."

"This is a good idea, but it's a lot of trouble. For example, how do we calculate the company's shares?"

"This is simple. I think we can let the Hong Kong company and the local government form a joint venture to jointly hold the ownership of the film and television city. Then the joint venture will sign an operation rights transfer agreement and transfer it to another Hong Kong company."

"In this way, I only have the right to operate, while the ownership and dividend rights of the film and television city will still be in the joint venture company."

"In this way, there will be no loss of state-owned assets!"

Li Changhe had already thought about it and decided to only take away the operating rights and retain the shares and dividend rights to the local government. It would only mean a loss of money.

“This is a good idea!”

"The joint venture company holds it, and your operating company only controls the operating rights."

"But Changhe, there is another problem here, and it is a very troublesome problem right now."

"In fact, it's not just you. The whole country is currently thinking about this issue."

“That’s the land!”

Director Liao spoke to Li Changhe seriously at this moment.

"land?"

Li Changhe was a little surprised.

"Yes, land!"

"Don't forget, our land is publicly owned, which means the land belongs to the country and the people."

"So if we give you the land to build this film and television city in cooperation with you, how will the land be calculated?"

"Sell it to you or rent it to you?"

"The West emphasizes private ownership of land. Any investment they make is to buy land and then invest in it."

"What we emphasize is that land is publicly owned. Since it is publicly owned, the land cannot be bought or sold."

"But if you don't sell it, how can you use the land to cooperate with others in investment? How can others believe that you won't take the land back?"

"This is the difficult problem that everyone above is thinking about now!"

Director Liao shook his head helplessly.

There is a natural contradiction between public ownership and private ownership, and the nature of land is the core point of this contradiction.

"Well, I think we can just transfer the management rights!"

Li Changhe said subconsciously.

"Hmm? Only the management rights?"

Hearing Li Changhe's words, Director Liao looked at Li Changhe in surprise.

Li Changhe hesitated for a moment, then said, "I found out that their real estate was done this way in Hong Kong Island."

"In the minds of the British, all the land in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon belongs to the Queen of England. So when they sold the land to the outside world, they did not sell it directly, but leased it in batches!"

"Different lease terms were granted for different lands. For example, many lands in Central, Hong Kong Island, were granted a 999-year lease term, but most of the later lands were granted a 70-year or 99-year lease term."

"In my opinion, this is actually a manifestation of the separation of land ownership and operation rights."

"We are a socialist country, so the land must belong to the state and all the people. This can be written into our constitution."

"But we can take out the operating rights of a single piece of land, for example, to participate in cooperation or construction!"

"Like what I said about this film and television city, the state can approve the use period of the land we occupy, for example, 50 or 70 years."

"In this way, the ownership of the land still belongs to the state and the people, but the right to use the land is in the hands of the joint venture company." "Then the state will control the nature of the land based on the original approved period of use."

Li Changhe remembered that this was the regulation of the country in later generations. The land leased was always the right to use, while the ownership had always belonged to the state.

"You mean to separate the ownership and use rights of land, incorporate the ownership into the constitution, and then open the use rights to foreign investment, right?"

Director Liao stood up at this time, paced back and forth, and asked Li Changhe while thinking.

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes, I think this is okay."

Director Liao then said again: "Isn't that the same thing true for your film and television city plan?"

"The ownership and management rights of the film and television city have also been separated. The ownership still belongs to the joint venture company, but the management rights belong to your Hong Kong Island company."

"Yes, but the joint venture company still has the right to monitor and distribute dividends, so I don't think this can actually be considered a loss of state-owned assets."

Li Changhe said softly.

At this moment, Director Liao's eyes lit up.

"You kid, wait in the office!"

After Director Liao finished speaking, he picked up Li Changhe's plan and hurried out.

Li Changhe was a little surprised when he saw this.

This... It seems like I'm involved in something big and important.

Is the core thing, land?
Li Changhe quickly guessed the key point.

It seems that people still have great doubts about the reform and the determination of the nature of land.

And his discussion about land just now probably gave Director Liao some ideas.

However, this model was originally the tone set by the country in the previous life, and it was probably based on the wholesale leasing model of Hong Kong Island.

But maybe it’s a little early now and the higher-ups haven’t decided on this idea yet?

Li Changhe made some vague guesses in his mind, then found a sofa and sat down.

Director Liao was gone for most of the day and he still hadn't returned by noon.

At noon, Secretary Liang brought Li Changhe a lunch box containing several dishes.

"Brother Liang"

"Changhe, eat!"

"The director and his team are in a meeting right now. They probably won't be back for a while. Eat your meal first!"

"So I have to continue waiting this afternoon?"

Li Changhe asked in surprise.

Secretary Liang smiled and said, "Of course. You are the protagonist of this meeting."

"Just wait patiently. I guess the director will look for you as soon as he gets back!"

"have to!"

After listening to this, Li Changhe stopped asking questions.

He picked up the lunch box, emptied the food inside, and then waited in the office with peace of mind.

We waited until four o'clock in the afternoon.

It was almost dark when Director Liao finally came back excitedly.

"So, you've been waiting for a long time!"

After entering the room, Director Liao asked Li Changhe with a smile.

Li Changhe shook his head: "Not bad!"

"Take this plan back!"

"We discussed your personal plans at the meeting today, such as the acquisition of the land, and you can decide for yourself."

"It's the same old saying. The money is yours. Don't worry or be afraid. You have someone to back you up. Use it boldly and with confidence."

"As for your film and television city bot project, the higher-ups still need to consider it, but I have to say that your idea of ​​solving the problem has given them a lot of inspiration."

"If this matter is approved, I will naturally find you then."

"By the way, Changhe, after the Chinese New Year, will you be a junior?"

"Yes, junior year!"

Li Changhe nodded and said.

They took the college entrance examination in December 77 and enrolled in February 12, so when school started in February this year, they were already in their third year.

"Do you need to go to Hong Kong Island more often from now on?"

Director Liao asked with a smile at this time.

“I wouldn’t say I go there often, but I feel like I have to go when I have time!”

Li Changhe decided to tell the truth.

Business operations are not like his gold and silver futures.

No matter whether it is silver or gold, he can compare it with his past life memories and control it remotely.

But when it comes to business operations, it’s not that simple.

"This afternoon, I discussed your issue with a chief."

"You third-year students, come to think of it, have been targeted by many departments."

"Many work groups are waiting to recruit you after the Chinese New Year!"

"Especially you, you are a piece of fat meat now."

"However, your current situation is special and many departments don't understand your situation, so your case is still a troublesome matter."

"So the chief asked me to ask you, first tell me what you think. What are you thinking?"

Director Liao looked at Li Changhe at this time and asked seriously.

After hearing this, Li Changhe was a little surprised.

Director Liao’s superior?

Who is that?
