中文摘要
本文主要討論陳中和自年少,即於打狗(高雄)苓雅寮庄著名的 鉅商陳福謙所創設的順和行,學習貿易;同治9年(1870年),老板陳 福謙設「順和棧」。同年(1870年)陳中和赴橫濱經營砂糖商。因善於 將交易所得,靈活運用貨款,於香港採購石油、雜貨、鴉片等,獲利甚 豐,遂為陳福謙所重用。陳福謙與陳中和(24歲)且協議,在日本橫濱 設立店舖-「橫濱順和棧」,並以陳中和為營業主任。 光緒8年(明治15年,1882年),老板陳福謙(1834–1882年)不幸 逝世,享年49歲;陳中和乃返打狗,以周端立為橫濱「順和棧」主任; 陳中和則出任打狗(高雄)總辦砂糖商順和號,配糖往橫濱。光緒13年 (1887年),由陳福謙家屬等6家,出資10股,與陳中和1家出資1股, 合創「和興公司」,公舉陳中和為「正當事」;橫濱順和棧成為「和興 公司」所屬的支店之一。明治36年(1903年),以陳中和與陳文遠等6 人為發起人,創設「新興製糖株式會社」,陳文遠一方面為股東,另方 面亦任監察役的職位。 明治36年(1903年)、37年(1904年),陳文遠兩次赴橫濱,設法 進行橫濱「順和棧」繼承登記手續。但因陳文遠因缺乏其地券證,於辦 理各種手續之中,始為周端立查覺,乃急電陳中和,另委託律師向神奈 川縣廳提出,於對之前陳文遠的申請」做不許可之申請。周端立且向橫 濱地方法院申請假處分。陳文遠的登記手續,終告失敗。永代借地權依 然為「順和棧」所有。明治37年(1904年),由陳中和、周端立具名, 委請律師清水市太郎任代理人,向臺灣臺南縣川田鳳山廳長照會申請, 提議本件雙方宜庭外和解。 由於《臺灣總督府公文類纂》中,新文件的出土,才得以瞭解高雄 陳福謙後代家族與陳中和之間,曾就「橫濱順和棧」產權的轉承,發生 令人值得探討的問題。
