Believe each bargainer know the saying that knowing others as well as yourself can be successful.Actually，all negotiators try their best to do that.In business negotiation，we must well prepared，knowing the condition both ourselves and the counterpart.But we should realize that our counterparts also do the same thing.It makes sense that the less our counterparts knows，the better to ourselves.So we must keep our s secret when try to know others.
相信所有的谈判者都明白这个道理：知己知彼，百战不殆。实际上，可以说所有的谈判者都是尽力这样做的。商业谈判中，要求我们在谈判前有所准备，要清楚地了解自己和对手的各方面状况，才可能常胜不败。但是，我们也要认识到，我们对手也在做着同样的工作，常识告诉我们：对方知道得愈少，形势对自己就愈有利。因此，在了解对手的同时，我们还有一件很重要的工作要做，那就是保守自己的某些秘密。
