AOL, as a genuine internet company, naturally chose to go public on Nasdaq.
Like Byte Company before, all the shareholders arrived in Times Square bright and early.
Then everyone, wearing T-shirts printed with the AOL logo, eagerly posed for group photos here.
As the CEO, Steve Case was undoubtedly the protagonist among the crowd.
Besides being pulled into photos by employees, he was also the target of major media pursuit.
One could tell that he was both excited and nervous facing the throngs of reporters.
After all, going public was a historic moment for the company, and the success of the IPO also put a lot of pressure on Steve Case.
Because he had smiled so often, the muscles in his face were beyond his control.
Dean, on the other hand, was the most relaxed person there, having gone through this experience once before.
"AOL is a great company, and Case is a great manager.
Can you imagine? He led 142 employees and generated nearly 100 million dollars in sales.
