Baoshan Iron & Steel Co. Ltd.: Crafting a Three-Way Cross-Border, Cross-Shareholding Alliance
內容大綱
On August 2, 2000, Korea-based Pohang Iron & Steel Co. Ltd. (POSCO) and Japan-based Nippon Steel Corp. (NSC) crafted a cross-border, cross-shareholding alliance. At a joint press conference, the two companies said their alliance was not limited to their firms alone and said approaches from others would be welcomed. Their invitation had aroused the interest of the largest steelmaker in China, Baoshan Iron & Steel Co. Ltd (Baosteel). In January 2001, Baosteel signed a memorandum of understanding with POSCO to create a cross-shareholding in each other's shares. The company also planned to invite NSC to acquire a stake in the group. If the Sino-Japanese alliance succeeded, the three steel giants would form a three-way cross-border, cross-shareholding alliance. Such a bold move would help Baosteel to gain an upper hand in competition with European and American steel firms eager to enter the Asian market.
