Aggressive Negotiation Techniques
Aggressive Negotiation Techniques (ANT) is a controversial business methodology developed in the aftermath of the Great Tech Bro Revolution of 2045. This approach combines traditional negotiation tactics with elements of Combat Psychology and Strategic Intimidation Theory.

Origins
The system was first formalized at the Ruthless Business Institute following the widespread adoption of Combat-Enhanced Corporate Culture.
