Recently, The Negotiation Challenge (TNC) 2021 came at the end of 3 contested month. Two teams of LUSM, Caprice and Breakers who participated in the competition for the first time have won the fifth and eleventh place respectively in the final round.

TNC is one of the oldest and the most prevalent international negotiation competitions. In view of the excellent performance of LUSM undergraduate students in the negotiation competitions held in China in 2019 and 2020, Communications and Negotiation Committee China granted two teams to participate in the TNC 2021 free. The competition was divided into the qualification rounds and final rounds and due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, all negotiation rounds were conducted online. Under the careful guidance of LUSM faculty, Weng Hongtao and Wang Yanxia, team "Caprice" formed by Li Chenglin, Liu Xiaotong and Su Xiangying from class 2017 and team "Breakers" consisted of Wang Zhaohua, Wei Wenxin and Yao Jianhua from Class 2018 competed with 42 teams from top universities in the world, including Harvard Law School, University of California, Berkeley, University of California Hastings Law School, Queensland University of Technology, IESEG School of Management, etc.

The three qualification rounds took place on three consecutive Fridays/Saturdays in February and March: 26-27 February, 5-6 March and 12-13 March and were "result-oriented" score rank games. 42 teams were given 48 hours from the moment they receive the instructions to: contact each other, agree on the exact timing of their negotiations, agree on the communication mode, negotiate a wise agreement and report their final outcome. Ranked 4^th and 5^th at the end of qualification rounds, LUSM two teams successfully advanced to the Final. The final two rounds are "process-oriented", and the points were made up of the negotiation results, the judges' evaluation of the process, and the opponent's impression. LUSM students’ methodical performance, quick thinking and solidarity were praised by the judges and other teams, and finally won the 5th place (Caprice team) and 11th place (Breakers team) in the final round.

LUSM has always attached great importance to undergraduate education. One of the ways is to encourage and support undergraduate students to participate in various professional competitions at all levels to improve their professional foundation and comprehensive quality through multiple measures. Since 2019, the school has organized students to participate in the " National College Students Business Negotiation Competition and have won many awards. Now, the students have made great achievements in the international competition for the first time, which fully demonstrates the good spirit and professional skills of LUSM undergraduate students.
