The lawyer's demeanor instantly switched to professional. Without a word, he opened his briefcase and retrieved two contracts, placing them on the table.
Jacques Dubois followed suit, placing the very document Pierre had been desperately searching for next to them. It seemed his father was the one who had kept the contract in the first place.
"Mr. Hawthorne," Greed instructed, "please confirm if everything is in order."
Alexander checked the contract and document about the loan and nodded at Greed to signify that everything was in order.
"Mr. Dubois," Greed began, addressing Pierre Dubois directly. "The reason I decided to visit you here is due to an unsettling rumor that you used our loan funds for gambling at a casino in Las Vegas." She paused, fixing her gaze on Pierre. "I want to know if this is true," she asked.
What is RFP?
An RFP, or Request for Proposal, is basically like a job application for businesses. Imagine a company has a big project they need help with, like building a moon base or supplying astronaut food. They don't want to do it all themselves, so they ask other companies to send in proposals.
An RFP is the document that explains what the project is, what kind of help they need, and what they're looking for in a partner. Companies interested in working on the project send in their proposals, which are like detailed plans showing how they would do the work, what it would cost, and why they're the best choice.
The company that issued the RFP then reviews all the proposals and decides which company they want to work with based on factors like expertise, cost, and how well their proposal matches the project's needs. So, an RFP is a way for businesses to find the right partners for their big projects.
