Over the years Taishan Capital's top people have, in their respective posts, successfully completed many deals and profitable investments, totalling several billions of U.S. dollars.

To date, Taishan Capital has itself been involved in a number of successful financing deals, amounting to nearly US$300 million equivalent so far. Our clients have been successful, growing companies, Chinese and Western, engaged in varied businesses, including pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, IT software, light manufacturing, healthcare, real estate, energy, securities, life insurance, and others. In these deals we have as acted as financial adviser, arranged venture capital or private equity investors, and set up seven new Sino-foreign joint ventures in China and overseas. The smallest transaction so far has been a US$2.5 million private placement, and the largest a US$48 million project financing package.

Two of our deals have received acclaim in international circles -- the amalgamation of the outsourcing operations of three multinational groups, Tata (India), Uniware (China), and Microsoft (U.S.A.), into a new Chinese joint venture, and the acquisition of a Chinese CD ROM manufacturer by Bertelsmann AG, one of Europe's largest media conglomerates.

We have a number of deals in the pipeline and will close several private placements and acquisition transactions in the US$10-25 million range in the near future.
