香港開埠後,英國人、猶太人、巴斯人及華人均在商業上不斷取得突破,但擁有「近鄰」優勢,且早已是華洋中介的澳門土生葡人,卻表現得「欠缺商業活力」,有學者更指「當華人各自在汪洋大海中爭相暢泳時,葡人則似是受困於一潭死水之中」。
作為人口僅次於英國人的香港非華人族群,澳門土生葡人能操多種語言,且了解華洋文化,發展上具有多重優勢,可他們卻對從商興味索然,寧可選擇成為文員階層;小部份選擇創業的,則未能如其他族群般屢敗屢戰,結果未成一簣而止,鮮見有人能創造自己的商業王國。
布力架家族五代人的故事,或許正是土生葡人在港發展的典型例子。這個家族來華歷史悠久,由澳轉港時亦佔盡先機,且人多勢眾、教育水平較高,做事細心勤勞……可哪怕他們在不少領域取得成就,亦擁有相當影響力,卻未能在香港商業史上留下突出痕跡。
深入了解布力架家族的故事,不但可看到家族傳承與企業興衰的互動,也可窺見商業力量如何影響著現代中國與世界的發展。
