It was the kind of voice only an old man with silver hair, a lit cigar in his mouth, driving a green classic car through the fields could possess.
"Lin?"
Lin Chen first nodded, then remembered he was on the phone, and quickly replied, "That's right, I am Lin."
"And you are?"
The person on the other end remained calm, speaking at an unhurried pace, and replied in a low voice.
"I am the top Agent in the english football circle."
Hearing this, Firmino let out a chuckle.
"Who would brag like that on the phone?"
Firmino instinctively thought it was a scammer.
But then the name that came from the other end of the phone instantly froze Firmino's smile.
"I am Barnett."
"I want to engage in a deep cooperation with you. Tomorrow morning at 9 AM, I will arrive at your home with that old scoundrel Raiola. We can have a good chat then."
After Lin Chen's simple reply, the other side hung up. Firmino's hands, which were driving, were trembling slightly.
Lin Chen hadn't heard much about Barnett, only from his youth coach during his Everton youth training days.
Firmino looked at Lin Chen, who was still calm, and couldn't help but say.
"Barnett, the Agent of the famous player Gareth Bale."
"He once used extraordinary means to make Gareth Bale the first player in football world history to have a transfer fee over 100 million."
"His agency has set a Guinness World Record, once being the top agency in all of Europe football world with the highest annual profit. No England player doesn't dream of being signed by Barnett!"
Hearing Firmino's detailed explanation, Lin Chen also felt incredible. Had he become so sought after now?
But then, another unfamiliar call came in.
After Lin Chen answered, a relatively sharp English with a hint of a Portugal accent came from the other side.
"Lin, I'm Mendes. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I won't bother with pleasantries for now. Tomorrow morning at 9 AM, I will go to your home with Barnett and those two old scoundrels, Raiola."
"I hope you will definitely choose me then. Do you know how many players I have under my wing? Pepe, Quaresma, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Head Coach Mourinho. I have helped all these people reach the top!"
Mendes's speech was very hurried, and it wasn't until three minutes later that Lin Chen had a chance to interject a sentence.
"You want to sign me too?"
The other end of the phone was clearly stunned for a moment, and then Mendes replied with great certainty.
"Who the hell doesn't want to sign you these days?"
After a brief exchange, the call was hung up again. Lin Chen only felt dizzy, and Firmino, beside him, looked at Lin Chen with shocked eyes.
"Do you know what just happened?"
Lin Chen shook his head and asked, "What?"
Firmino said with a smile.
"The three top Agents in today's football world are fighting tooth and nail to sign you!"
"Lin."
"You've truly made a complete recovery!"
"When you get rich, don't forget your old friends!"
After receiving three unfamiliar calls, Lin Chen only felt hot all over.
He had, of course, heard of Jorge Mendes. He started by selling videotapes and gradually grew into the top Agent in today's football world.
The money Mendes earned from Cristiano Ronaldo alone would be enough for him to enjoy his old age.
Not to mention he also had a host of excellent Portugal players under him, such as Pepe, Moutinho, and Rúben Neves. In Portugal, almost every player's dream was to be signed by Mendes.
People could see his extremely excellent operating methods and strategies, helping his players obtain more income to the greatest extent possible.
Lin Chen had also heard of Raiola. Raiola's most famous player should be the young Pogba.
To have Pogba first sold for a high price, and then bought back by Manchester United for a high price of 100 million, you should understand how extraordinary Raiola's methods are.
