After dinner Eric and Dan went to the car dealership. It was a typical dealership on the edge of town, with a couple dozen cars parked in front. Eric had been here a couple of times, although never for longer than a few minutes. They walked in and were greeted by Stacy, a 22 year old bombshell. She was the receptionist, and didn't seem to happy about having to work late. "Hello Mr. Young, the people from Bayer called, they'll be here in an hour. Oh and Mr. Jones needed your help on some of the paperwork." Dan let out a panicky sigh "He still isn't done with the paperwork? That stuff is supposed to be ready to sign before they get here. I better go see him. Could you please stay here with Stacy, Eric? I'll be right back." He hurried off down a corridor, leaving Eric and Stacy alone in the reception hall.
Stacy shot him a bored look "Want something to drink? Kitchen's over there..." and she just started killing time on her phone. Eric, however, was easily bored and looking for some entertainment. Also helping out his dad wouldn't be bad, he figured. He got the coin out again and swung it in front of Stacy, who immediately fell under a trance. "Stacy, listen to me. You are now the most motivated assistant ever. You consider it a privilege to work for your boss and do everything within your power to make your boss more successful. Your IQ will increase to superhuman levels, and you are proficient in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Cantonese and Mandarin. Also, I am your boss. You look up to me and find me very attractive." He nodded as he let it all sink in and put away the coin. She blinked a few times, then looked at Eric as if for the first time. "Oh, Mr. Young" her face lit up. "I'm so glad you're here. What can I do for you?" Eric harrumphed, then stated matter of factly "Stacy, I want you to spend the next 15 minutes to get me every scrap of information on this deal about to go down here and break it down into an easy to read 4 page report. Oh and next time you come to work dress a little more classy, but alluring. The pants and blouse look is just too common, you've got to look more successful" He said with a little bit of mocked authority. "Yes sir. Right away!" And she furiously started using the computer.
He walked over to one of the cars and slid a finger over it's chassis. The price tag estimated the car at 70.000, Eric doubted he had to pay that much for it. Or pay at all, since one coin was all he needed. He stood there daydreaming about cars when he was interrupted by a yell from Stacy "Mr. Young, it's Done!" He walked over "Impressive, Stacy. That wasn't even 10 minutes" he said, looking at the clock. "6 minutes 35 seconds. It's rolling out the printer as we speak." She said, with a tone of pride in her voice. He got the papers and glanced them over. Seems like this deal was for a large order of lease wagons, for a company called Bayer. They did pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agriculture, and lots and lots of research. He flipped over to the financial page and had to do a double take. This really was a big player, with billions upon billions of dollars in assets, which had mysteriously tripled over the past year. "Stacy, are any of the board rooms free for the next two hours?" Eric asked, pocketing the papers. "Room four is available, but the projector broke down last week." She said, quickly checking the schedule. "That's OK, When they come in, I want you give them a hearty welcome and bring them there. I'll be waiting." When she nodded, he blew her a kiss and walked away, leaving a furiously blushing Stacy
