Equity, legal person property rights and partnership organization property rights all come from the ownership of investment property. The purpose of investors' investment in the investee is to make a profit, that is, to hand over the property to the investee and bear civil liability, rather than to hand over the property to the investee. Therefore, the property rights of legal persons and partnership organizations are limited authorization.

The right granted is the property right of the investor. If you don't grant it, the rights reserved in your own hands and the rights derived from it are equity. Both are incomplete ownership. Investor's property right mainly reflects the external form of investment property ownership, while equity mainly represents the core content of investment property ownership.
