Free or not free, that is the question.

Hello.

I have a question. Someone from a company asked me to provide them a custom effect. They want it for a VR project.  I have never been asked to make something for a commercial project from an other country. He will ask me a price for making such a shader and effect. I should bake a flipbook normal map via liquid simulation and then I should make a custom shader - via a node editor tool - to control the effect. That probably takes about up to a week (including rendering time).

Now shouldn't I do that for them for free for the first time? I mean wouldn't that make sense if I make the effect for free so that I could add it to my CV profile and also hope they call me later for their other projects? If not, then would you please tell me a price for such a work?
