Chapter 484: Opportunists (Second update, please subscribe)

early morning.

Chang'an King's Library, the largest library in Southeast Asia.

Although it is early in the morning, there are already many people in the library. This is not only the largest library in Nanyang, but also the largest library in Asia. There are not only a large number of newly purchased books in the library, but also books brought by the military from Germany and Japan. Back to the books.

In short, when you come here you can not only read books, but also feel the fruits of victory of the victorious country.

Cheng Qingsong also came here.

Three days ago, after taking on that errand, how to break through the plantation land proportion limit became a very troublesome matter, but I tried various methods but it didn't work.

Damn, people can still choke themselves to death.

But even if he had no idea, he didn't plan to squat at home, because it would definitely not be possible to build a car behind closed doors, so he decided to go to the library to find some books, and find some books about Nanyang law, which might give him some inspiration. .

Although he is a construction engineer, Cheng Qingsong also has a certain understanding of law.

"Boss, you see, according to relevant laws, "the area of ​​rubber planting in rubber plantations shall not be less than 85%." That is to say, residences, dormitories, roads and other ancillary buildings shall not exceed 15%. In terms of area, , if you want to build houses on plantations and add transportation land, such a small amount of land will definitely not be enough. From the time they designed this ordinance, they have tried their best to restrict other people from using clever names to turn agricultural land into commercial land."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Haha, there is a way!"

The importance of an international financial center is self-evident. Just like the United Kingdom in another world, even if its manufacturing industry is in decline, it can still make a lot of money from its international financial center. This is also true on Hong Kong Island.

Choosing a few books from the law school area, Cheng Qingsong planned to study the laws of Nanyang carefully.

Faced with this piece of fat, Li Yian would be lying if he said he was not tempted. But how to become a financial center?

Chen Liang said.

The best option is to replace Hong Kong.

"Boss, I have an idea."

The common law legal system is the so-called "British and American legal system". In fact, Nanyang did not adopt the civil law system because of a deep consideration, which is to become an "international financial center." Out of his understanding of history, Li Yi'an is very clear that there will be three in the world in the future. International financial centers, namely London, New York and Hong Kong Island.

This is a geographical statement. In fact, you can also choose Tokyo, but Tokyo is not an international financial center. Its financial market only serves its own country.

Just like now, after carefully studying Nanyang's legal system, Cheng Qingsong studied various specialized laws, and finally he discovered a "loophole" in the "Land Law".

In order to be able to eat the fat meat of the "International Financial Center" and take into account the traditions of North Borneo and Sarawak, Nanyang will continue to use the maritime law system.

Of course, this also brings some problems, such as giving more opportunities to litigants and allowing speculators to find some opportunities.

That night, Cheng Qingsong arrived at Chen Liang's home and said.

Another key reason is that the legal system implemented on Hong Kong Island can be seamlessly connected with the United Kingdom and the United States. The core reason is that the financial industry, which is complicated and entangled with huge interests, is logically and practically unfavorable to the development of financial activities in the civil law system that focuses on form, favors state power, and has administrative departments deeply involved in legislation. Including Germany and Japan, their statutory legal systems are unable to cope with complex and rapidly changing financial developments.

When he came to the reading area, Cheng Qingsong started reading. If he wanted to understand Nanyang's legal system, he first had to figure out what kind of legal system Nanyang practiced.

And why can Hong Kong Island become an international financial center?
There is a saying that it is a natural advantage - the main reason for becoming a financial center is that New York and London are too close, but because the earth is a sphere, they are too far apart from the other direction. The two groups of people in London and New York are not It cannot cover 24-hour uninterrupted transactions around the world, so a fulcrum was needed on this side of the Pacific, so Hong Kong Island was chosen.

"Common law legal system, it's expected. After all, this place was a British colony before."

Of course Chen Liang knew this very well, otherwise how could the British sell the rubber plantation to him? Of course, this is also directly related to the laws of Nanyang - foreign companies and individuals are prohibited from holding agricultural land, but after the law was promulgated They were later given a five-year transition period. If they were not sold after five years, the government would redeem them in the form of bonds.

"So, as things stand, the problem is unsolvable."

Cheng Qingsong's answer made Chen Liang raise his eyebrows and said. "Oh, what can you do?"

"Building roads."

Cheng Qingsong said directly.

"what?"

Chen Liang said in surprise.

"What do you mean?"

"Just build a road."

Cheng Qingsong unfolded a map and said.

"Boss, look, this is the plantation you mentioned. If we build roads, basically 15% will be used for road construction. In this way, there will be no extra area to build houses. But what if we don’t build hardened roads?”

“No hardened roads?”

Chen Liang said,

"There's a lot of rain in Nanyang. If it's a dirt road, people will have mud on their feet, and cars will definitely not be able to drive on the bad road."

"What I'm talking about is that instead of building ordinary hardened roads, the row spacing of rubber trees is 6-8m, and the spacing between plants is 2.8-3m. We can build lattice roads directly under the forest to facilitate rubber tapping."

Cheng Qingsong drew a few squares at random.

"It's a square floor tile like this. Grass can grow on the tiles and water is permeable. People and cars will not get mud when they step on the floor tiles. In this way, it seems that it is not hardened, but in fact it has been hardened. But this is not a road. , it’s just a gap under the forest. We can build all the roads into this kind of road. After all, we don’t need to use trucks to transport rubber, or even tap rubber. In this way, there will be “no roads but roads”, then The remaining 15% can naturally be used to build dormitories.”

Cheng Qingsong's idea made Chen Liang's eyes light up, and he said excitedly.

"That's right, that's right. In this way, we will naturally have land to build a house! No, no, it's a dormitory, it's a dormitory!"

"Not only that, boss, it's the rubber trees. We can also just keep some landscapes. This plantation is not just rubber trees, but also includes more than a dozen tropical crops such as meat, pepper, coffee, cocoa, sisal, etc. If we With reasonable layout, those plantations can be turned into small gardens. Of course, the "roads" in the garden are not right, they should be gaps under the forest, and they are not straight. After appropriate adjustments, they can be completely transformed into small gardens. The effect of a path leading to a secluded place,”

Cheng Qingsong took out his pen and described the surrounding environment of the "staff dormitories" one by one as if his imagination was wild. However, in just a moment, he drew a small garden that looked quite unique.

Looking at the location of the house on the picture, Chen Liang asked.

"Why is there a pool behind the house?"

"Boss, this house is not just a house, but also a reservoir and a pump room. According to relevant laws and regulations, the area of ​​the reservoir and pump room can be adjusted appropriately by 2%-5%. In total, it is 20% Well, this reservoir...is a swimming pool."

As soon as Cheng Qingsong finished speaking, Chen Liang laughed.

"Haha... Good boy, I'll let you take care of everything. Okay, okay, this matter is settled! I'll do as you say! By the way..."

Leaning forward, Chen Liang asked again.

"You design a few villas first. If the bosses like it, they will build it according to your drawings!"

After saying that, Chen Liang looked at Cheng Qingsong's expression and his expression changed, his eyes full of appreciation. Finally, I emphasized it to him.

"You are responsible for this project first. In the future, our company will definitely have more projects waiting for you to do it. It is not impossible to become a partner by then."

Although it is just a big cake, for Cheng Qingsong. This is also the pie he needs. After all, he needs to gain a foothold on this land...
