近代私营银行引进外资困境探析——以聚兴诚银行引进外资风波为中心

Analysis on the Predicament of Introducing Foreign Capital into Modern Private Banks:Centering on the Disturbance Caused by Young Brothers’Bank’s Introduction of Foreign Capital

1934年6月,聚兴诚银行总经理杨粲三在访英期间与英商德善公司签订合约,拟合资成立联益金融公司,通过引进外资开发四川矿产和实业,引起国内多方反对。杨粲三虽曾呈请财政部、实业部、外交部调查裁决,但国民政府行政院仍核准下令撤废合约。聚兴诚银行为挽回这一引进外资项目进行了多方努力,但当时舆论对于私营银行利用外资开发地方实业持负面立场,国民政府和有官方背景的中国建设银公司也不允许地方私营银行通过与外资合作阻碍其垄断地方实业开发。

In June 1934,general manager of the Young Brothers’Bank,Yang Cansan,signed a contract with the Deshan Corporation during his visit to Britain.They intended to establish a joint venture company called Lianyi Finance Corporation and develop Sichuan’s mineral resources and industry by introducing foreign capital,which aroused oppositions from many parties in China.Although Yang Cansan petitioned the Ministry of Finance,the Ministry of Industry,and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for investigation and verdict,the Executive Yuan of the National Government still ordered the cancellation of the contract.After that,the Young Brothers’Bank made various efforts to save this project of introducing foreign capital,but the public opinion at the time took a negative stance on the private banks’using foreign capital to develop local industry.Moreover,the National Government and Chinese industrial companies with official backing would not allow local private banks to stand in their way of monopolizing local industrial development by cooperating with foreign capital.
