Although the country now allows free buying and selling of real estate, it is only for commercial housing of a residential nature, such as old courtyard houses, old western-style buildings, etc.

Houses on industrial land, such as self-built houses in factories, are still not allowed to enter the market and are bought and sold like commercial houses.

Because of this, industrial land is basically not available for purchase.

You're kidding, everyone is short of money now, but if there is no shortage of land, who can afford to buy your old factory?

For example, the glass factory was originally relocated mainly because of pollution problems, and they did not move there willingly.

As for the old factory building left behind after the glass factory was relocated, it was originally planned to be packaged and sold to Hongguang Machinery Factory. After all, it was a neighbor, but the machine factory never relented.

Now if there is Hongguang Publishing House willing to buy it, then of course I will be happy.

From the perspective of future generations, this glass factory suffered a huge loss, but from the perspective of the glass factory at this time, it was not a loss.

Because most of today's factories are state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises.

That glass factory was originally a township collective enterprise, not a state-owned enterprise.

During the commune movement, many township and village enterprises were established in many rural areas around the capital.

At that time, the area outside the Second Ring Road in Beijing was all rural areas, so this glass factory outside the Second Ring Road was a collective enterprise, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Therefore, this glass factory was a commune product at that time.

On the contrary, Hongguang Machinery Factory, a state-owned enterprise, moved here later.

Collective enterprises are much more flexible than state-owned enterprises, but they are also more short of money.

Because the technology of this glass factory is not good and it has been losing money for many years, selling the factory for money is the most urgent action.

To put it bluntly, this is still a suburban township jurisdiction at this time, and the township government has the final say on whether township enterprises such as glass factories can be sold or not.

Now that a state-owned enterprise is willing to take over a dilapidated factory that was shut down due to pollution problems and return it with cash, of course it can be sold.

With that 800,000 yuan, the township government can solve many urgent needs.

Otherwise, Hongguang Publishing House, as a state-owned publishing house, would be able to do anything at this time.

Therefore, the current Hongguang Publishing House is still very good simply in terms of floor space. It is a typical place with a vast area and sparsely populated areas.

No matter what, there is enough space here for a warehouse, that's enough.

After driving for a while, Cao Zhiqiang took Xu Qingdong to Hongguang Publishing House.

Afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang asked Xu Qingdong to sit in his president's office first and let his secretary Xiang Dongfang entertain him.

As for himself, he quietly arrived at a somewhat dilapidated red brick house.

This place was originally a warehouse of the glass factory. As a township enterprise, it would be nice to have a red brick building.

During this period, let alone cement, most of the cement was imported, and there were not even many red bricks.

It's pretty good for a township enterprise to have such a red brick building as a warehouse.

In fact, here are the warehouses, important places such as office buildings are red brick buildings, and other factories and other buildings are made of clay.

Using the key to unlock the red brick house, Cao Zhiqiang walked in to take a look.

There was nothing at first glance inside, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while, found an open space, then took out a large clean cotton cloth from his pocket, and then took out a 35mm gold Panaflex camera, a matching tripod, and six matching lenses.

As for the bunch of other accessories, they are not needed for the time being. Too many things at once will be too eye-catching.

After placing the camera, tripod, and six supporting lenses, Cao Zhiqiang took out pieces of cotton cloth and wrapped them all separately.

After doing this, Cao Zhiqiang invited Xu Qingdong to come and see him alone.

When Xu Qingdong saw the camera and the six matching lenses, he was immediately surprised and couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

"This is, is this Panna from the United States?" Xu Qingdong is a knowledgeable person and can tell the story at a glance.

Yes, the abbreviation of Panavision in China is Panna. He can say this name in one sentence, which means he has seen a lot.

"And they are all new machines? How is that possible?" Xu Qingdong touched the machine with a face full of surprise, "As far as I know, these things are only for rent and not for sale. They are basically used by Hollywood. There are none in our country? You, where are you?

Coming?"

Indeed, the cameras in China at this time were basically domestic or West German Ale cameras.

As for Panavision in the United States, there are really no formal domestic film studios.

Occasionally, there may be one or two co-productions, and those are brought by foreign businessmen.

During this period, there was a general shortage of cameras in China, let alone good cameras.

For example, Masahito Sada, who previously shot "Talk about the Yangtze River" and is still in Japan and has not returned, when he shot the Yangtze River documentary, he brought his own camera, and it was also rented.

Why did Masahito Sada make a movie about the Yangtze River and was heavily in debt?

In fact, his consumption during the domestic shooting process was not much. The main expenses were the cost of renting a camera and purchasing film.

In short, as Cao Zhiqiang expected, Xu Qingdong couldn't put it down immediately after seeing the brand-new Panavision camera.

"Don't worry about where I came from," Cao Zhiqiang said, "I'm just asking you, can I shoot with this?"

"Yes, of course I can!" Xu Qingdong couldn't put it down and touched it again and again, as if he was touching the most beautiful woman.

"Good stuff, really good stuff!" Xu Qingdong sighed, "With this, so many lenses, and some good film, we can definitely make the best film!"

"That's good." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"but……"

"But what?"

Xu Qingdong put down the camera and looked at Cao Zhiqiang solemnly:

"President Cao, since you have money, a story, and such a good camera, and you can even handle film, why are you looking for a studio?

The studio has it and you have it, so why do you let them have a portion?

Let’s just make an independent movie ourselves.”

"Making an independent film?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned.

"Yes!" Xu Qingdong's eyes lit up.

"It is the first independent film in China that is not influenced by any unit or individual and is completely decided by myself!

As long as the film is completed, no matter what the result is, this will create history!"
Chapter completed!
