Lincoln Institute President/CEO Mr. McCarthy and Director Liu Zhi showed great interest in the renovation of old plant facilities. Subsequent to their tour of the Museum of Migrant Workers in Guangzhou, and with their innate understanding of the partnership between the Culture Complex and the government, they turned their attention to the subject of the land-acquisition model and operation team of the Complex. Additionally, they offered high praise for its operation mode, which is based on renovation and subletting after the lump-sum leasing of collective lands, whereby the rental-price difference and value-added services become profit.
