Shenzhen Development Bank Co., Ltd.
深圳发展银行
Shenzhen Development Bank Co., Ltd. (深圳发展银行, or "深发展") was a Chinese commercial bank best known as the target of the first and only foreign acquisition of control over a nationwide Chinese commercial bank. In 2004, Newbridge Capital, where Weijian Shan served as lead negotiator, secured control of the bank in a deal that nearly collapsed during negotiations . This transaction became one of Shan's two signature investments that established his reputation, alongside the turnaround of Korea First Bank . The bank's restructuring under Newbridge was later chronicled alongside the Korea First Bank deal in Shan's books *Money Games* and *Money War* . Elsewhere's corpus does not contain further detail on the bank's subsequent fate or current status.
