Cafe outside London.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Agent Song Jae-jin.”

“Hello, Dr. Law. My name is James Hooper, the lawyer who runs the blog.”

My first impression of James Hooper was that he looked tired.

‘You look tired.’

luxurious suit. Contrary to his neatly combed hair, his eyes were dead and his actions were full of weary.

“I’ll do it.”

“Yeah?”

Jaejin was surprised by James Hooper’s answer before he even brought up the matter.

“You didn’t ask me to meet you because you needed my skills?”

“It is.”

“Then it would be legal advice. I’m a lawyer, and you’re an agent, so don’t you need help with the contract?”

In Jaejin’s email, all he said was that he had a good look at the blog and that we could meet again.



But James Hooper thought that the high-profile agent could not have sent an e-mail just to talk to him.

That’s why he made an appointment. In addition, there was a reason to wonder about the identity of the agent Song Jae-jin these days.

Of course, he was always a fan of coach Brian Nichols, and like most British people, he also liked football, but it was not a small influence.

“Of course there are, but it is to offer a job change rather than help with a contract. I want to scout for the agency I will set up.”

“Yeah?”

“I enjoyed your blog. You seem to have a lot of interest in football as well. You seem to be interested and professional.”

An unexpected help, no job offer, left James Hooper momentarily speechless.

He simply thought he had contacted him because of a football related contract problem.

However, contrary to expectations, when the offer was made, James Hooper drank a cup of coffee to roll his head, which was not spinning due to unresolved fatigue.

‘Then it was strange. You wouldn’t even need to send me an email. An agent belonging to a huge agency called WSG.’

It was then that he realized that he had not made a proper judgment because of his tiredness.

And the trouble began.

stability and adventure.

Between the two, James Hooper struggled.

‘It’s worth worrying about. Still, James Hooper is the best fit.’

Four of the names the system gave me were lawyers, and I checked all four, but I thought James Hooper was the best fit.

[51% increase in value when Jae-Jin Song works with James Hooper.]

It was not an offer given only by the simple system recommended and the calculated results.

In addition to the system’s recommendations, he did his own research and found a lawyer named James Hooper.

As James Hooper looked worried, Jaejin smiled and continued.

“Even though it’s a new agency, it doesn’t start from the bottom,” he said. Brian Nichols is already in the team, David Tennant of Tottenham, Mario Baruwa of Millwall and Il-joo Park are included.”

“Yeah? no… .”

“It will be difficult to get a salary from the existing Magic Circle (the 5th largest law firm in London, UK), but we will do our best to match that level as much as possible.”

“But why the hell am I… … ?”

“Are you suggesting this to Mr. James Hooper, who doesn’t even have a face-to-face meeting?”

At Jaejin’s question, James Hooper nodded his head.

“The part I am most confident about is the eyes that see the players. He prides himself on that he has a great eye. And my eyes are telling me to scout James Hooper.”

James Hooper was moved by Jaejin’s calm affirmation.

How hard have you been trying to get into the magic circle now?

It was definitely an adventure to leave a high-paying job and go to a new agency with an unknown future.

But James Hooper recalled his own gloom he had seen in his bathroom mirror after work just a few days ago.

Working more than 60 hours per week was the norm.

Nosebleeds were common 3 to 4 times a week, and it was common for blood vessels to burst in the eyes.

Even these days, I can’t feel the taste of anything I eat.

‘People don’t live. Even if your income may not be as high as it is now, it will be enough to live on after you move into a smaller house on the outskirts. I also enjoy some personal free time. And the most important thing is that I can do things related to soccer.’

James Hooper, who set the direction of his heart, looked at Jaejin with his eyes clearer than before.

“When can I go to work?”

“Ah.”

At James Hooper’s words, Jaejin scratched his head as if in embarrassment.

“First, we need to find an office. We haven’t found a suitable office yet.”

“Yeah? Are you still?”

“haha. Yes. To be precise, it is the process of preparing for independence. It’s nice to be able to start JJ Management together.

James Hooper felt a little uneasy, but he took Jaejin’s hand.

“Then what should I do first?”

“First, we need to find an office. Like me, James has to clean up what he was doing.”

“It’s fun. It feels like starting a new business from nothing.”

“There are already too many things to say there is nothing. I wish you all the best.”

“I’m really begging you. boss.”

“In the end, I resigned. And right after that, I set up an agency called JJ Management.”

Alcock took Jae-jin’s resignation letter in his hand and went to his boss’s office.

“Are we going to proceed as we decided in the last meeting?”

“It must be so. It’s a talent not to be missed. There’s nothing wrong with keeping it close. Rather, it is advantageous if we only look at the European branch.”

“It is not. If he makes a pact the way we think.”

“Our job is to be a negotiating agent. Then we have to negotiate with Song Jae-jin as well.”

The boss nodded.

“Let’s meet once and make dinner. on time for that.”

“Yes. Okay.”

Alcock checked the contents once again before contacting Jaejin.

“It’s amazing to see you again.”

It was impossible to say that it was an achievement achieved in a short period of time.

Alcock took a deep breath and called Jaejin.

“Hello. Agent Jaejin Song. This is Alcock of WSG agency whom I met the other day. I heard that he was independent and opened an office. Congratulations. It’s no different… .”

JJ Management office outside London.

After more than two weeks of hard work, he was able to find an office outside London, and after restocking the furnishings, Jae-Jin was having a meeting with James Hooper.

“If you are going to the management side, first of all, an accountant is essential.”

“Are there any accountants you can recommend? I’ve been looking for it too, but the problem is that no one is right for me.”

“Five. I think I can handle that part!”

At that moment, someone came into the conference room and said, James Hooper was startled as he saw the man’s face.

Jaejin welcomed director Nichols to a familiar voice.

“Five. Director Nichols. What are you doing?”

“You still call me Nichols. Just call me Brian.”

“haha. it sticks in your mouth You must be very busy, what are you doing?”

“My agent has opened an office, can you stay still? I came here with a present.”

“A gift?”

Jaejin looked at Nichols at the news of the sudden gift.

Then a strange voice came from behind Nichols.

“Where are the people who treat people as gifts?”

“Wherever you are, here you are.”

I got up from my chair at the sight of a grumbling person coming in after Nichols.

“Good morning. My name is Agent Song Jae-jin.”

“nice to meet you. My name is Kevin Petersen. My job is accountant. I’ve known Notan over there for about five years.”

“It’s true. Talking about it.”

The words were grunting, but Brian giggled and laughed as if he was familiar with it.

“A new lawyer here? I hope to see you more often in the future.”

“nice to meet you. My name is James Hooper.”

“Five. That sounds like a name that would be well explored.”

Kevin Petersen naturally took a seat at the conference table.

“It feels like something assortment has been matched with this.”

“Try it well, because he’s a good person, so I’m a person who sometimes gets personal help.”

Peter Sen waved his hand at Brian’s words.

“The biggest mistake of my life was getting my nose stuck by Notan because I liked soccer.”

“It’s just a benefit. A guy like you would know a world-class master like me everywhere! Pu ha ha.”

Jaejin couldn’t come to his senses at the familiar conversation between the two.

And after a while, Petersen unilaterally cut off Brian’s conversation and looked at Jaejin.

“Is the company’s main income still commissions? So the money you have now will be important.”

“There is a fee, but I plan to open a camp in the pre-season.”

“Camp? Football?”

“Yeah. It’s a football camp. We’re going to get the players we want. as a minority Of course, you have to pay that much, right?”

At Jaejin’s words, Petersen tilted his head.

It was because it had no merit at all.

For professional players, there must be an agency, and it was a question of whether the agency would open a camp to manage the players.

“It is definitely coming. Some people believe in it.”

Wei Ying-

And Jaejin pressed the call button on the ringing cell phone.

“Yeah. Good morning. Mr Alcock. long time no see.”

“WSG’s J. F. Alcock?”

At the familiar name, James Hooper remembered the name he had heard when he was interviewed to become a WSG lawyer and asked me a question, and Jaejin nodded his head slightly.

“Yeah. This Friday is fine. Set a time that is convenient for you.”

[Then we will contact you once the exact time and place are decided.]

“Yeah. Then I’ll see you then.”

“Didn’t you quit WSG?”

“Iknow, right. But I got a call asking if I could have a meal with the president of WSG Europe.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

In response to Jaejin’s answer, James Hooper and Kevin Petersen looked at Jaejin with strange expressions.

“Was that belief in the WSG?”

“There are some of them. But not all. Anyway, if we go out this time, something will come out, right?”

on the day of the appointment.

‘Wow. It’s a restaurant that looks luxurious just by looking at it.’

Jaejin arrived at the appointment that Alcock sent.

“Do you have a party?”

“J. I made a reservation under the name of F. Alcock.”

“You are a WSG agency customer. I will guide you.”

At Jaejin’s words, the manager smiled and guided us into the restaurant.

smart-

When the door opened with a knock, Alcock and the president of WSG Europe were already there.

“nice to meet you. This is Roger Taylor, President of WSG Europe.”

“nice to meet you. This is Jaejin Song. Long time no see. Alcock.”

“Yeah. It’s my first time seeing you after the contract. I heard that he has opened an office in London. Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

A meal was served soon after, followed by a relatively quiet meal.

And when all the meals were over, Roger Taylor spoke.

“I’ll tell you straight up. We, WSG Europe, would like to continue our relationship with JJ Management.”

“When it comes to relationships, what kind of relationship is it? I don’t think there’s much I can do for a big agency like WSG.”

“It is safe to call it an investment. That means that I see the future of Agent Jae-Jin Song highly.”

“Thank you.”

“Let me tell you what we can give you first. We will provide access to WSG facilities, provide information and, to the extent possible, provide tangible and intangible materials. To put it simply, you are not part of WSG, but you will be able to enjoy some of the same WSG benefits.”

It wasn’t bad conditions.

I liked the part where I could use the information team of WSG, which had already built a foundation for free, and the free use of the training facilities.

But I couldn’t sign a contract right away just because I liked it.

“What does WSG provide and what do you get from it?”

“Perhaps it’s our decision, but do you plan on holding a camp every pre-season?”

“Yeah. We are planning.”

“The right to have more than a certain percentage of WSG players participate in the camp. And I want the eyes of an agent named Song Jae-jin. Of course, I want to receive a partial reduction in the cost of participating in the camp. We pay a separate fee for player reporting.”

‘The training camp is something we’ve already expected. If it’s the eyes of the player. Maybe it means you’re going to use me to take care of the problems of expensive players like Mario Baruwana and David Tennant.’

Jaejin was in rather good condition.

It was a good thing if Camp got word-of-mouth through WSG, and I thought that if Jaejin reported to the famous players managed by WSG, it would be a good contract for each other.

“Not bad. Shall we go into more detail?”
