"胜利者的谈判地位总是随着时间的推移而减弱。"
Simplified meaning
When someone wins or comes out on top in a situation, their advantage or power doesn't last forever. Over time, their strong position becomes weaker. For example, if a company creates a groundbreaking new product and becomes a market leader, it has a lot of power in the beginning. However, as time goes on, other companies may develop similar or better products, and the original company's hold on the market gets weaker. Similarly, in a personal argument or negotiation, if you initially win, your leverage might decrease as emotions settle, circumstances change, or new information comes to light. Knowing this, it's wise to act on opportunities quickly and not rest on past victories, because the advantage won't last indefinitely.
