Officials provided a large amount of original capital for the enterprise financing of Qi Xin Lime Company: the birth of modern enterprise system in China was not the result of its own capitalist accumulation since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but a direct grafting of foreign advanced production methods. According to the normal development path of enterprises, the occurrence of enterprises should be based on the full development of capitalism, and the middle should go through the development stage of handicraft workshops, because only in this way can the original accumulation of capital be completed. In the history of enterprise development in modern China, the lack of funds has always been one of the bottlenecks restricting the development of enterprises, and because the financial system and institutional arrangements in modern China are seriously lagging behind, even if there are funds, there is no channel to guide investment. The development of Qi Xin Lime Company first encountered the problem of funds. The founding capital of Tangshan Fine Miantu Factory, the predecessor of Qixin Lime Company, is "composed of Ordnance Bureau, Kaiping Mining Bureau and Xiangshan Landlord each contributing 20,000 yuan". 1906, after Zhou took over and founded Qixin Lime Company, "All the old debts have nothing to do with the new company, but the old factories and machines have not stopped one by one, and their houses have been destroyed, so there is no need to evaluate them. From a true estimate, there are new company grants. " At the beginning of the establishment of Qixin Lime Company, Zhou bought all the assets of Tangshan Fine Cotton Map Factory at a very small price. In fact, this is a private enterprise with the state's "public funds", which is obviously not something that ordinary people can do. In this way, Qi Xin Lime Company itself did not take out a penny, but completed its own primitive accumulation of capital. Moreover, in the process of Qi Xin Lime Company's operation, it also relies on the influence of bureaucrats to realize the convenience of loans and low interest rates. The official capital borrowed by Qixin Lime Company is * * * 402,000 yuan ... It is planned to pay interest at a rate of 5% for a long time, with interest paid annually for the first three years, with no principal paid temporarily, and once a year after the fourth year. At the beginning of its establishment, Qi Xin Lime Company completed the original accumulation of funds under the influence of bureaucrats.
