本文通过对1912- 1925年长江下游地区开澜矿务局的个案研究，重新审视买办的角色。这表明买办对外国公司很重要，因为他保证客户和他的委托人之间的商业交易。在这个过程中，买办基本上变成了一种没有明确产权的商业。买办制度要达到一个转折点，如KMA的情况所示，需要从不承诺中国市场的立场到在营销结构、人员和设施方面直接投资的政策的根本性制度变革。在这些发展过程中，有关各方的财产权利和责任都得到了界定。
This article re-examines the role of the comprador through a case study of the Kailan Mining Administration (KMA) in the Lower Yangzi region, 1912-25. It shows that a comprador was important to the foreign firm as he guaranteed business transactions between customers and his principal. In the process, compradorship essentially became a business without defined property rights. For the comprador system to reach a turning point, as the case of KMA shows, required a fundamental institutional change from a position of non-commitment to the Chinese market to a policy of direct investment in terms of marketing structure, personnel and facilities. In the course of these developments, the property rights and liabilities of all parties concerned were to be defined.
