Li Weige ;; Han Yeping ;; Hanyang Iron Works ;; Japanese capital
李维格与近代著名的汉冶萍关系密切。在任汉阳铁厂总办期间，李维格对汉阳铁厂的改良扩张贡献巨大，产品质量得到改善，结构得到优化，短期内实现扭亏为盈。1908年，汉冶萍公司成立后不久，在继续改良工程的同时，李维格对公司招商集股投入极大热情，但招股结果并不理想。李维格等人过分强调股份制的融资功能，忽视了汉冶萍公司成立后公司内部的制度改造。在国际市场开拓上，李维格发现了潜在的美国市场，但美国市场的失落最终使汉冶萍转而全面依靠日本市场。为筹集李维格的改良资金，1904年300万日元《预借矿价合同》签订，该合同从内容到形式均对后来公司借债产生重大影响。1905年，铁厂改良过程中，由日本方面主动提出提供巨额借款。李维格等对日方的不正当要求进行坚决抵制，迫使借款一度中断，后日方在放弃部分不合时宜的要求后双方订约。与公司开拓美国市场遭挫相关联，在多种原因影响下，1911年4月，公司与正金银行签订《预借生铁价值合同》，这是日本侵夺计划中十分重要的一步，但还不足于牵制汉冶萍。面对辛亥革命前盛宣怀急于收回其在公司的投资的要求，在日本一再降低借款条件的情况下，双方很快签订《预借生铁价值续合同》，李维格在错误思想支配下充当了帮凶的角色。后李维格对这笔借款提出合办新厂意见，与辛亥革命后中日“合办”汉冶萍的计划不无渊源。汉冶萍合办案，李维格行动受盛宣怀的指派，但同时也是其个人主张的体现，从内心讲，李维格并不反对合办案。民国成立初，严峻的生产形势使得公司与正金银行1500万元借款合同签署，该合同从《预借生铁价值续合同》发展而来。通过该合同汉冶萍对日附属地位最终确立，李维格对之负有一定责任。综合分析李维格借用日资的实践，在肯定借用日资的合理性的同时，也应看到他在处理日资过程中有过失误。
Li Weige was closely associated with Han Yeping Company which was quite famous in modern China. During his term of supervisor in Hanyang Iron Works, he had made tremendous contributions to the reformation and development of the factory. The quality of products was greatly improved and the structure of the factory was optimized, too. Within a short period of time, he helped the company turn the losses into profits. In 1908, shortly after the establishment of Han Yeping Company, Li threw himself into the business of inviting outside investments and collecting capital with great enthusiasm. However, the result was undesirable. Besides, Li overemphasized the function of integration of capital, ignoring the reformation of the internal structure in the company. When he turned his interest to international markets, Li discovered the potential American market. Unfortunately, the failure in American market compelled the company to depend heavily on Japanese market. In order to collect the funds necessary for reformation, Li had to signed "the Pact of Loaning in Advance for the Mine" which was worth of three million Yen. It was this pact that exerted fundamental influence, from the content to the form, on the following loan of the company. In 1905, during the process of reformation in Hanyang Iron Works, Japan offered a large quantity of loan to Li. But Li"s resolute opposition and. resistance to those outrageous requirements from the Japanese side once broke up the negotiation for a while. Later on, they finally signed the pact under the condition that Japan had to give up some inappropriate requirements. Influenced by the failure in exploring American market and other factors, in April 1911, Han Yeping Company signed "the Pact of Loaning in Advance for Pig Iron" with Yokohama Specie Bank,LTD. Although the pact, was regarded as an essential step for Japan"s aggression, its effect was not strong enough to make Japan take over the full control of Han Yeping Company. Considering the order from Sheng Xuanhuai that the investment for company should be recouped as soon as possible before the Revolution of 1911, Li and Japan signed "the Renewed Pact of Loaning in Advance for Pig Iron", in which Li played the role of accessory under the wrong guidance. Later, Li considered using the loan to operate a new works jointly, which was coincident with the plan of joint operation of Han Yeping Company with Japan after the Revolution of 1911. In the case of "Joint peration of Han Yeping Company", on the one hand, Li"s action was directly conducted by Sheng Xuanhuai; however, on the other hand, it was also the reflection of his personal idea. From his inner world, Li was not opposed to the joint operation. After the foundation of the Republic of China, the severe production conditions made the company have no choice but to sign the pact for the loan of fifteen million Yen, which was derived from "the Renewed Pact of Loaning in Advance for Pig Iron". It is through this pact that the subsidiary relationship of Han Yeping Company to Japan eventually came into being. And Li, to some extent, was responsible for that result. This thesis, based on Li Weige"s practice of loaning Japanese capital, tries to point out both the reasonability of loaning Japanese capital and the mistakes he had made when dealing with Japanese capital.
