Chương 252: Chapter 252: Negotiating the Price
"RFB, you'd better get moving quickly. The Commander and the others only have six days for this mission. Even if it's extended by a day or two for other reasons, they'll be back soon."
With a helmet on, M200 reminded RFB, who was moving the SCV slowly.
Meanwhile, not far behind her, Maria was energetically directing the Sangvis Ferri dolls to move the load-bearing columns, placing them in the correct positions for welding.
"Oh, okay, I get it. Can't someone else do it for me?" RFB pleaded.
"No!" M200 crossed her arms.
"You're the only one who knows how to operate this thing here. We can't risk damaging this equipment while the Commander is rushing the schedule."
And if it gets damaged, there's no way to fix it. Other equipment could be handled with a repair manual, but the SCV called by the Commander would be hopeless. The repair methods for this mecha couldn't be found on anonymous forums, let alone the extensive modifications the Commander made to this one. It would be better to hope that RFB suddenly becomes diligent one day.
"Alright, alright, I get it. Sigh..." Upon hearing M200's words, RFB sighed and reluctantly picked up a load-bearing column, raising the welding gun on the SCV, and began welding.
...
On the other side, Renault and his team were currently in a helicopter, approaching a massive city.
After flying out of the Red Zone, the view in the sky became much clearer, with even the distant sky turning blue.
"Be careful. If anything happens, we might have to jump directly from the helicopter." Squinting, Renault glanced at the weapons mounted on the tall quarantine wall in the distance and reminded HK416 and the others in the cabin.
Hearing Renault's words, HK416 and the others couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Their commander was fine in most aspects, but sometimes, wasn't he a bit too cautious?
Didn't they already agree with Griffin before?
The aircraft identification signal had also been changed to Griffin's. Griffin shouldn't be so annoying to them yet, right?
Just to be safe, before setting off, Renault had already obtained the helicopter identification information from Helian. Otherwise, he wouldn't have proof to let the other side make him pass.
Speaking of which, this helicopter at hand was one of those products of unknown origin. His own company's information had never mentioned owning a helicopter. Even if it was mentioned, no one would believe it.
Although Renault's Security Contracting Firm was already well-known in Griffin and Statesec, in other areas, there might not be many people who had heard of his name or his company's name.
If he happily flew over in a helicopter and was mistaken for an unknown person and shot down with anti-aircraft missiles, that would be a big mess...
In addition to the helicopter's identification information, Renault temporarily changed the external identification information of HK416 and the others to match Griffin's signal as well.
Although it was a bit awkward, at least they wouldn't be immediately recognized as an illegal doll.
This security mission would last for three days. The exhibition would start the day after tomorrow. They were here mainly to inspect the venue's conditions and plan the security measures in advance.
However, this mission seemed a bit tight in terms of time. Generally, for such large-scale exhibitions, security measures needed to be planned well in advance. It seemed a bit strange to hurriedly find Griffin just three days before the exhibition.
However, this question was quickly answered by Helian. When Renault saw her, she was arguing with a well-dressed man with a cold face.
The reason?
Naturally, it was because the organizers of the exhibition had already found another security contracting company. Since Griffin declined the job, they couldn't organize manpower for security work themselves; that wasn't their expertise.
Griffin had clearly refused their commission before.
Who would have thought that Helian, the agent, would say at the last minute that Griffin was willing to take on the commission again, on the condition that a security contracting company that had never been heard of would participate in the security work.
Now the other security contracting company had already arrived and had been inspecting the security situation around the exhibition venue for these days.
Griffin couldn't forcefully refuse either. After all, Griffin was the largest security contracting company in this area.
Outside the military protection area, Griffin could almost be said to have the most extensive influence among the security contracting business.
"Sorry, maintaining the original price is a bit..."
Faced with Helian's cold face, the person in charge of the organizers and the short woman next to her were suddenly startled, sweat dripping from their foreheads, feeling embarrassed.
The total security budget was only sixty million. In order to hire another security company, they had already paid a deposit of five million.
After the commission was completed, they still needed to pay another twenty-five million to the other company.
The contract had already been signed.
Now Helian wanted to maintain the original price. That was definitely impossible... There simply wasn't that much money!
Renault naturally heard the argument between the two, what could he say about this? Force the other company to leave?
Obviously, that wouldn't work. It didn't matter if there was less money; after all, he wasn't mainly here for the money.
"It doesn't matter if the price is reduced. Whatever amount is fine."
Walking up behind Helian, Renault suddenly spoke up.
Hearing Renault's voice, the person in charge in front of Helian, and the short woman beside her, were both startled!
When they looked up, they found that Reno had unconsciously brought ten doll personnel to their side!
Helian's eyes lit up. "Long time no see, Reno."
"Here we go again. We just communicated via holographic transmission yesterday. Why do you always start with 'long time no see'?" Renault shook his head helplessly. He always felt like this woman's attitude towards him was a bit too enthusiastic?
"Indeed, but if you have no objections to the commission's remuneration, we can sign the contract now."
Of course, she was signing the contract on behalf of Griffin and the organizers.
Once she received the money, she would naturally handle the specifics of the fund distribution.
Although the commission this time was worth thirty million, it wasn't a lot for Griffin.
As the agent, she had enough authority to allocate all of the commission's remuneration to Renault.
Hearing Helian's words, Renault nodded, and the person in charge on the organizer's side breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the other party agreed, the exhibition would start in two days. They definitely couldn't afford to conflict with Griffin over this matter.
