Description

This paper attempts to clarify how Chinese employees were used by Mitsui Bussan in China. Prior to the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Mitsui Bussan mainly conducted business with Chinese merchants through compradors (Maiban). According to the situation of the branches in China, Mitsui Bussan gradually abolished compradors since 1898. Instead, Mitsui Bussan began to employ Chinese as drummers (Paojie) and managers to replace compradors. Since then, Chinese employees had played an important role in currency business, advancing into non-commercial ports and dealing with Chinese boycotts of Japanese products for Mitsui Bussan.
