盛宣怀与上海电报局改制

上海电报局成立后,迭经朝廷和北洋势力侵夺,官商激烈博弈,各方利益关系错综复杂。盛宣怀身处博弈旋涡与利益纠葛的中心,虽有站在朝廷的立场上压服股商的一面,但作为一位有远见的实业家,更由于个体利益与电报局利益相互缠绕,更多的是代表股商利益与朝廷抗争。其提出的由"官占商产"转变为"官买商业"的思路,以及股商提出的朝廷应通过"和平商妥""询谋佥同"方式处理国家与私人资产关系的意见,皆是从前现代国家经济模式实现现代转型的重要思想线索。

Sheng Xuanhuai and the Systematic Reform of Shanghai Telegraph Bureau in the Late Qing Dynasty

From its founding,the Shanghai Telegraph Bureau was repeatedly trespassed by the Qing court and the Beiyang clique.The off icials and businessmen fought f iercely,and the interests of all parties were entangled.Sheng Xuanhuai,being at the center of the game vortex and interest disputes, resisted the Qing court on behalf of the interests of stock investors,not only because he was a far-sighted industrialist,but because his personal interests were entangled with those of the telegraph bureau.His proposition of changing the idea of "government conf iscating commercial property" to "government buying out business",together with the opinion proposed by stock investors that the government should handle its relationship with private assets through "peaceful negotiation" and "reaching a consensus by consulting the majority" are important idealogical clues for a modern restructuring of the country's economic mode from its pre-modern status.
