alt text: a 4-panel comic strip by hausofdecline, in a simple, ignorant art style. panel 1: three individuals in suited corporate attire are assembled for a meeting, two seated together, one opposite. the left of the two: "You may be renowned for your negotiation skills, but we will not go any higher than 12%." panel 2: pulling in closer to the third interlocutor, he, with a smirk, goes to pull something out from his briefcase. panel 3: he has pulled a gun, holding it to his head, wearing a smug expression. panel 4: pulled back out to the three businessmen again. the one on the left states, looking irate and exasperated, "Fine, fine. We'll go to 15%." to his right, his fellow associate looks to him says, "See? That's why he's the best." the negotiator across from them remains unwavering, his gun still trained to his head.
That would be fairly convincing
