Max-level burst damage at the start, the British Empire arrives!

In today's football world, Raiola and Mendes are arguably the Messi and Ronaldo of the agent circle.

Raiola is fluent in multiple languages ​​and can get involved in every football powerhouse.

Mendes has cultivated the Portuguese market extensively, and due to language barriers, he has also signed many Brazilian players.

Lucia is a big name in Italy, but due to the decline of Serie A and the drop in the level of Italian players, his influence in the football world has naturally decreased.

Strutt is very influential in the Bundesliga, but the limitations of his business scope also affect his influence in the football world.

In the UK, Barnett was only considered an influential agent.

British football has a rich history, and the agent industry has been established for many years.

Some of the more well-known players under Barnett's management include Bale, Ashley Cole, Joe Hart, Lallana, and Luke Shaw.

Two years later, Barnett rose to fame by orchestrating Bale's record-breaking transfer to Real Madrid, thus entering the ranks of the club's elite.

According to Sun Ke, Barnett is a "cunning" and difficult negotiator. He is sharp-tongued, resolute, and has a willingness to fight to the death for the players' interests.

He and Raiola have similar styles; both are agents who prioritize the interests of their players.

However, Raiola prefers to maximize player profits through transfers, while Barnett prefers to keep players at one club for the long term.

In the private room of the coffee shop, Sun Ke found it somewhat amusing to see Barnett, who was dressed in a sharp suit and looked a little nervous.

The two sat down facing each other, and surprisingly, Barnett from the Mediterranean was the more awkward one.

To build rapport, Barnett asked the coffee shop which brand of coffee was better.

Sun Ke placed a bottle of mineral water on the table and said with a smile, "I only drink water."

Barnett chuckled twice, and the waiter standing to the side had a very interesting expression.

The middle-aged man with a receding hairline tried to break the deadlock.

"Hi Sun, the weather is nice today, which means we're going to have a wonderful day."

They started by talking about the weather, typical British mannerisms.

Sun Ke smiled and nodded: "I hope so."

This guy probably already heard about Mendes and Raiola's setbacks, and he started with a simple and unpretentious self-introduction.

Sun Ke hopes to make a breakthrough today.

Of course, it still depends on attitude, performance, and fate.

Even if the other person doesn't appeal to you, you still have to keep refreshing the page.

Sun Ke had already prepared for the worst and would find a less experienced but obedient agent to temporarily handle the situation.

They were both observing each other's expressions.

After introducing himself, Barnett added, "Son, my daughter is also 19 years old, but you have a maturity rarely seen at your age."

Barnett made a good first impression on Sun Ke.

Not assertive, not showy.

Barnett comes from a wealthy family; his family runs a spinach company.

This old guy probably wanted a different way of life, so he became a football agent.

His background piqued Sun Ke's interest.

Twelve years later, Brighton, with their keen eye for buying low and selling high in transfers, became the Premier League's number one black market club.

Their boss comes from the betting industry, and this guy upgraded the player recruitment model from scout recommendations to big data-driven player selection, which has been very effective.

As far as Sun Ke knows, only betting companies currently possess complete player databases.

However, that's a story for another time.

Sun Ke cut to the chase, saying, "Mr. Jonathan, I believe we know each other very well."

"I'd like to ask you a question: which club would be a better fit for my strengths?"

Barnett was taken aback; he hadn't expected Sun Ke to suddenly get to the point.

He thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, there are seven clubs that are clearly interested in you right now: Arsenal, Tottenham, Everton, West Ham United, Norwich, Southampton, and Charlton."

"Arsenal and Charlton are the best fit for you."

"It might take you a while to get playing time at Arsenal, but you should be able to find a place at Charlton immediately."

"Moyes will give you playing time, but you need to prove yourself immediately."

"You should have regular playing time at West Ham, Norwich and Southampton."

"But based on your performance in your last League One game, I think you have a good chance at Arsenal."

"Arsène is a very patient coach, and you have a better chance of developing there."

"I don't recommend you join Tottenham; you'll have a hard time getting opportunities there."

"But judging from past transfer market performances, Arsenal may not be able to offer the price Leyton Orient wants, as Arsène is very cautious about controlling the budget."

Sun Ke smiled and nodded; this was the answer he had hoped to hear.

Watching Barnett carefully analyze his transfer prospects, Sun Ke suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, like Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Plan.

I almost laughed!

But it must be said that this chubby guy has clearly analyzed the prospects of the transfer.

To know.

Barnett may not have the same prophetic knowledge as me, but he analyzed the Premier League situation with remarkable accuracy.

Most importantly, this guy didn't mention money once from beginning to end.

Instead, they focused their attention on their future development.

Raiola was doing it for his own good, but unfortunately he didn't dedicate himself to English football.

Sun Ke thinks Barnett is a breath of fresh air in the agent circle.

Although this chubby boy has a high hairline, a short neck, and a big belly.

But they are quite reliable when it comes to getting things done.

Looking at Barnett's sincere attitude, Sun Ke solemnly said, "I plan to go to Arsenal, but I need to guarantee my playing time in the contract."

"If Arsenal can offer a competitive price, the club shouldn't put any obstacles in their way."

Barnett tapped his fleshy hand on the table a few times and said, "I'll try my best, but Arsenal is a top club in the Premier League, so it's still a bit difficult."

"I can earn you some playing time, for example, twenty appearances, averaging 45 minutes per game, so that you can at least become a key substitute for the team this season."

Sun Ke was somewhat surprised to hear Barnett explain in such detail.

Unexpectedly, this guy's analysis was quite detailed.

Even though I made the request, the other party was able to implement the terms in such detail.

It's important to understand that ideals are often grand, but reality is usually not so rosy.

Given that no agency agreement was signed between the two parties, Barnett's pragmatism is quite commendable.

Sun Ke guessed that this kind of rich second-generation is starting a business.

They either want to realize their life's value or to make a lot of money.

I won't be greedy for petty gains.

As it turns out, this guy did succeed.

When Sun Ke traveled back to that year, he saw in the news that many of Raiola's players had joined Barnett, whose commissions that year exceeded 100 million pounds.

Having already accepted the other party, Sun Ke simply made a decision.

He solemnly extended his right hand to Barnett: "It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Did you bring the contract?

Barnett paused for a moment, then took a contract out of his briefcase.

He hadn't expected the negotiations to go so smoothly.

to be frank.

Barnett was not prepared to handle things in one go before he arrived.

The news of Mendes and Raiola's setbacks has spread throughout the agent circle.

Barnett spoke with an agent who had met with Son.

The agent said that he was rejected by Sun Ke after talking for less than ten minutes.

Before coming, Barnett was a little apprehensive.

Although he wasn't sure what the young man wanted, based on his experience interacting with young players over the years...

As long as you are professional enough, sincere enough, and genuinely care about the players, even the most rebellious kid won't refuse you without reason.

Surprisingly, the matter was resolved just like that!

Sun Yu took the contract and studied it carefully.

The terms are very simple, written in plain language, and the rights and obligations of both parties are clearly stated.

Barnett could collect a commission from the club during negotiations and then complete the transfer, endorsements, and a series of other details as requested by Sun Yu.

Sun Ke wasn't familiar with how other agents operated, but he thought the contract Barnett offered was good.

After signing the contract, Barnett continued, "Son, I heard Arsenal will sell Fabregas this summer. They will definitely make bold attempts in the midfield position."

"You can rest assured and leave the transfer to me."

The negotiations ended, and the two men went their separate ways.

The following day, many London newspapers published news of Sun Ke's signing with Barnett.

"Billionaire's son Barnett signs with Chinese talent; midfield star to join Premier League."

Sun Ke rejected all the well-known agents, but successfully signed the Chinese-American prodigy with Barnett!

Barnett adds another star to his roster: a Chinese-Canadian talent is about to join the Premier League!

Barnett and Sun Ke became famous overnight.

Barnett gained instant fame by signing what is widely considered the most difficult Chinese-American talent in the agent industry.

Sun Ke could tell at a glance from the news that Barnett had probably paid for the news.

This guy's self-marketing skills are truly impressive.

Now, Sun Ke can focus on training and leave the transfer to Barnett.
