Facing the inquisitive looks from David and Yang Zhiyuan, Dean's response was very straightforward.
"If this Yang's World Wide Web Guide commercializes in the future, I must have priority to own one-third of its shares.
Besides the search engine and server conditions I just mentioned, I can also help you promote this webpage."
After hearing Dean's terms, David shrugged at Yang Zhiyuan, who looked utterly baffled.
"Dean, perhaps we weren't clear enough just now, the World Wide Web Guide is actually free..."
"I know~" Dean said with an expression of anticipation, "That's why I'm talking about when it commercializes in the future."
"But there's no possibility of it making a profit, we haven't even thought about that," Yang Zhiyuan quickly added.
Indeed, from start to finish, they had never intended to charge for the website.
Their compilation of the web directory was merely a hobby outside of their doctoral dissertation work.
