【摸魚手札】基本法已死,公司法治港?(渾水)
郭榮鏗疑被DQ和22條的定義詮釋,挑戰了基本法本身。法治已腐爛的屍首,三不五時又有政治人出來哀祭。學者多有國師病,幻想加入建制仕途或左右大局,經濟學家也不例外,最近重讀張五常教授的怪文,原來早在1984年他發表過《公司法治港》。很有趣,要分享。
挑戰基本法是紅線所在,所有提出過主權、次主權、城邦之類的治港藍圖的人都付出過沉重代價,我是不會挖坑自栽的,只是引述張文。張在英殖帝國主義保護下,間接表達了他對基本法的不信任,望以公司法方式治港。
張說:「我建議的『公司法治港』,是一種避重就輕的辦法。簡言之,這辦法是將香港制度的法例(代替了所謂《基本法》),安置在香港公司的『法人』身上。」他的理念是把香港當成「法人」處理,香港是一間公司,所以當時英國歸還香港給中國,可以理解成把一間公司賣走給另一個東主,是最低交易成本的做法。
他認為比基本法更能緩衝了中國香港法制的衝突。技術上在一國前提下,一國是有自己的憲法系統,這是「大」憲法;基本法是香港的地區法律,那是「小」憲法,這些大小之爭是沒完沒了。公司法有自己的個性,不一定因股東轉換而出現大改變,「Lifting of the Corporate Veil」是公司法101的概念,公司的運作也可按章程處理。公司的決策說不上民主,但股權誰大誰惡誰正確卻是全球通行的法則,也算普世價值。這些天真的想法,都是張五常想出來,我不認同。
學者會錯,但錯要錯得有趣,張五常講公司法治港是很有新意的概念。若論層次,它不輸次主權、城邦、革新論等管治論述。香港是高度資本主義的社會,公司產權是資本主義的骨架,以公司法運作香港,不怕持份者水土不服。英國殖民主義擴張也以公司做載體,如1553年的莫斯科公司、利凡特公司和大名遠播的東印度公司,殖民地和宗主國的關係是一張類近特許經營的合約,由海軍權霸和維也納系統維持合約秩序和保護產權,及英人最重視的貿易往來。
公司法的主張很配合張那套講制度經濟、合約產權的的學術套路,加上歷史路徑,建構了張的公司法主張。他師承高斯,高斯寫《公司的本質》,勾劃產權理念,公司和市場作資源分配的分野,張五常在這套理念下另一注腳,進一步演繹成合約替換。他說公司法治港有學者的天真,但也許是最適合香港的烏托邦藍圖。這藍圖,大概只會在平衡時空出現。

【State of Blockchain Investment 2019】
Although terms like blockchain, cryptocurrencies and cryptography have only entered into the mainstream vernacular in the last two or three years, the space has actually been developing for over a decade now. Consequently, there's already been a fair share of cycles, with the most recent one culminating in the astronomical rise and subsequent crash of cryptocurrency prices (inclusive of bitcoin's 20k price tag) at the beginning of 2018.
CB Insight's "Blockchain Trends in Review" sheds insight on what exactly is left after the dust has settled, while identifying several trends that indicate where the industry will likely go from here.
1. At current run rates, 2019 will only see $1.6B invested across 454 deals, a significant decline from the $4.1B invested in blockchain last year.
Unsurprisingly, many investors were burned after the downturn, pulling back on their investments and adopting a more stringent veil of skepticism as the large majority of blockchain projects failed to deliver on their promises. That said, early crypto-focused investors, namely based in the US or China, continue to reaffirm their commitment to the space with a projected investments $1.6B, which actually exceeds the amount invested in 2017. Most of the deals processed in 2019 thus far are attributed to early-stage, suggesting that blockchain is still a very nascent category.
2. While both types of funding are on the decline, VC has eclipsed ICOs.
While ICOs were popularized as an alternative form of financing, many blockchain projects saw themselves going back to traditional equity financing in 2019 as the majority of investors turned a cold shoulder to coin offerings post-crash. Traditional equity financing has outstripped ICOs in every quarter since Q3’18. Furthermore, increasingly stringent regulations around the globe mandating strict KYC/AML guidelines and added compliance measures have effectively eviscerated the "quick and easy" appeal of ICOs.
3. Market capitalizations of tokens and cryptocurrencies suggest renewed interest in the space post-crash.
Crypto prices have more than tripled since the beginning of 2019, loosely indicating a widening appetite for blockchain technology. Perhaps the biggest stamp of approval came from the announcement of Project Libra, a stablecoin-powered payment network led by a consortium of corporate juggernauts such as Facebook, Uber, Visa, Spotify, and Vodafone. There's a still a long road to commercial adoption, not to mention overcoming potential regulatory hurdles, but the move if nothing else serves as a strong signal to current and prospective stakeholders evaluating the widespread use of distributed ledger technology.
