Chapter 1380 First Meeting

Wu Lei looks similar to what he looks like on TV and in photos. In reality, he looks more youthful and shy, with small eyes, short hair, and a somewhat loyal appearance, which makes it difficult for people to feel bad about him.

However, Wu Lei was obviously a little cautious in front of the big boss Zhou Leiyun.

You must know that Zhou Leiyun is not only the chairman of the Espanyol Club, this club is only his investment in the nature of playing tickets, and his asset scale is ranked among the top domestic private enterprises.

Zhou Leiyun usually has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't come to the Espanyol Club very often. He will appear on the podium in some key games, or he will attend the club's major events.

During the entire transfer process of Wu Lei, including this time he arrived in Spain, he was more involved with the translation arranged by the Espanyol club. Even Zhou Leiyun's agent, Jiang Xiaochen, did not meet many times.

Sitting in front of the big boss Zhou Leiyun all of a sudden, how could Wu Lei not be nervous?

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "Wu Lei, don't be restrained, we are all compatriots abroad. By the way, I haven't introduced you to the one next to you! He is..."

"Mr. Zhou and Xia are well-known Internet celebrities. As long as they are online in China, it is estimated that few people don't know him." Wu Lei said with a smile.

Xia Ruofei said unexpectedly: "Do you usually go online often?"

Wu Lei smiled shyly, and said, "Besides competitions and training, my spare time is also very simple, just spending time with my family. If I have time, I can watch videos online, play games, and swipe on Weibo. Yes, I'm still your Weibo fan!"

"Really?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Then I'll pay attention to you too!"

After he finished speaking, Xia Ruofei really took out his mobile phone. He thought about it and said, "Come on! Let's take a selfie first! Mr. Zhou, sit down! Sit down!"

Zhou Leiyun is older than Zhao Yongjun, he is not very keen on some things young people play, but Xia Ruofei has invited him, he still wants to join.

So, Zhou Leiyun also stood up with a smile and walked to the opposite seat, Wu Lei quickly squeezed inside, the three sat side by side in the booth on this side, Xia Ruofei raised his mobile phone and took a few selfies.

Then, Xia Ruofei opened the Weibo client, first found Wu Lei's Weibo and followed it, and then posted a Weibo: I met Zhou Zonghe ei7 in Barcelona, ​​looking forward to Wu Lei's performance in the top league!

The pictures on Weibo were selected from the few selfies just now.

Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun were both approachable, and Wu Lei's nervousness was much lessened. He smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, you are still on the hot search list! This time I can rub off on your popularity! "

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "You still use my popularity! These days, you are the most popular person in the domestic football world! Everyone cares about your every move! If you want to talk about the popularity, it is at most Let's rub each other! Haha!"

Zhou Leiyun had already returned to the seat opposite and sat down. He smiled and said, "Wu Lei, although you are familiar with President Xia, I can guarantee that he still has an identity that you absolutely do not know!"

"Oh?" Wu Lei was stunned and said, "Mr. Zhou, tell me, what is the identity of President Xia?"

Zhou Leiyun laughed and said: "The shareholder of the Royal Espanyol Club! And it is the second largest shareholder in shares! You don't know this, right?"

"Ah?" Wu Lei was really taken aback this time, "Why haven't I heard of it!"

Before he came to Spain, he had done a lot of homework. He had a little understanding of the equity structure of the Espanyol Club, especially the owner of Zhou Da, who was the absolute controlling shareholder of the club and the chairman of the club. He knew all these things. Yes, but I really don't know that Xia Ruofei is actually a shareholder of the club.

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "Don't say it's you, anyone who knows about this from the outside world can count on ten fingers! Because the transfer of equity has just been completed, and it's not even time to make changes on the Spanish side!"

"Wu Lei, President Zhou transferred some of the shares to me." Xia Ruofei explained with a smile.

"Oh! That's how it is..." Wu Lei obviously hadn't recovered from the shocking news.

"But don't worry! I didn't reduce my stock holdings because I was not optimistic about the Espanyol Club. On the contrary, I was very optimistic about the prospects of our club, so I gave part of the shares to President Xia. We are friends!" Zhou Leiyun said, " Therefore, we will continue to support the development of the club in the next step, and if necessary, we will increase our investment and strengthen the strength of the club!"

Zhou Leiyun’s investment in the Espanyol Club is indeed of the nature of playing tickets, but it is also because he is optimistic about China’s huge football market, especially after the introduction of Wu Lei. It has risen sharply, and even the share price of Shengshi Group has risen due to the stimulation of this good news.

With the size of Shengshi Group, the stock rose a little bit, which brought huge wealth.

Moreover, now Zhou Leiyun has teamed up with Xia Ruofei to invest in Espanyol Football Club. Based on this alone, it is even more impossible for him to give up. Even if he loses money for a long time, he will continue to invest.

Zhou Leiyun's words gave Wu Lei a reassurance, he nodded and said, "I understand!"

Xia Ruofei also said with a smile: "I signed a concerted action agreement with President Zhou, and I will not intervene in the management of the club, so for you, everything will be the same as before, and there will be no change. For you personally, As long as you can train and play with peace of mind, domestic fans are looking forward to seeing you in La Liga as soon as possible!"

"I see, thank you Mr. Xia!" Wu Lei said, "I will definitely work hard!"

"Come, come! For our fate, drink one!" Zhou Leiyun raised his glass and said with a smile.

"cheers!"

The three touched the cups. As an active football player, Wu Lei is usually very self-disciplined, so he only drinks juice, while Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun drink red wine.

"Eat something!" Zhou Leiyun said, "Mr. Xia, try the delicious food here!"

Zhou Leiyun ordered a lot of Catalan-style delicacies, such as salted cod, cold cured meat, grilled snails and so on. But Wu Lei can't eat those high-calorie foods, so he ordered a steak and a chicken breast separately.

The dishes in Barcelona are somewhat different from traditional Western food, or a bit between Chinese food and Western food. There is even a dish called "Caneron", which looks a bit like Beijing Roast Duck. Italian macaroni is rolled with duck meat filling. Add some sauce.

Xia Ruofei tasted it and felt that the taste was good. For his southerner who was not very strong, the taste was just right.

Eating local specialties and admiring the old buildings outside the window really has a strong exotic flavor.

The three chatted quietly while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun clinked glasses and took a sip of wine, they put down the glasses and turned to Wu Lei, and asked, "Wu Lei, how many days have you been in Spain, do you feel comfortable?"

Wu Lei pursed his lips and said with a shy smile: "I feel good, the sun is shining and the scenery here is pleasant. The club's hardware facilities are very good, and it is more professional than domestic clubs in all aspects. It's temporary. There is no way to communicate deeply with my teammates, and besides... my wife and children are not around, so I am somewhat uncomfortable."

Xia Ruofei has seen some news about Wu Lei and knows that he is a family man. Unlike many domestic stars, Wu Lei rarely has any off-field news, and there is never any negative news.

After the popularity of the Chinese Super League, the income of players has also increased significantly, so it is common for players to buy luxury cars, while Wu Lei's car is very ordinary. The only time it was photographed by the media was to accompany his wife on the subway. "More than 20 million luxury cars".

In fact, Wu Lei's income also ranks among the top players in the Chinese Super League. After all, he is a local player who broke the monopoly of foreign aid and won the top scorer. During training, I was willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy nutritional supplements for the young players.

In addition, Wu Lei is almost the only player in the Chinese Super League who does not have any tattoos.

It is precisely because of these positive images that Xia Ruofei has always had a good impression of Wu Lei.

After listening to Wu Lei's words, he said with a smile: "Everything is difficult at the beginning! Now that the first step has been taken, the next step is how to stand firm. I think hard performance in training is one aspect, and it is also very important. It is to master Spanish as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for you to really integrate into this team. Although President Zhou and I are absolutely major shareholders, it is impossible for us to interfere with the coach's formation. Everything has to be done. Work hard on your own."

"I understand!" Wu Lei said quickly, "Mr. Xia, the club has arranged a Spanish teacher for me, and I'm making up for this lesson now!"

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "It's good that you realize this! I believe you will be able to integrate into the team soon!"

Wu Lei is 27 years old this year, and Xia Ruofei is one or two years younger than Wu Lei, but neither the speaker nor the listener feel old-fashioned, it feels very natural.

Wu Lei said, "Thank you Mr. Xia for your encouragement!"

Xia Ruofei then asked: "By the way, how is your shoulder injury?"

"The team doctor has done a preliminary examination and must undergo surgery." Wu Lei said with some frustration, "Although this surgery does not need to be done immediately, and even this injury will not have much impact on my participation in the game, but in case Injuring the same place again during the game could have serious consequences. But I don't want to miss this period of time, after all, the season is over halfway through, and once I have surgery, this season's games will be all over missed……"

Zhou Leiyun also said: "Mr. Xia, Wu Lei has to make up his own mind about this matter, and the club can only make suggestions. His injury does not affect training games now, but there are some risks."

"It seems that you have to weigh it yourself!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Zhou Leiyun nodded, then looked at Wu Lei, and said, "You have to make this decision yourself, I have already told you, no matter what decision you make, the club will support it unconditionally! If you want to be conservative first Treatment, make sure to train and play, and if you want immediate surgery, we’ll connect you with the best sports surgery specialists.”

"I will seriously consider it, President Zhou!" Wu Lei nodded and said.

Xia Ruofei asked: "If the operation... how long will it take to recover?"

Wu Lei said: "From surgery to recovery to normal participation in team training, the doctor estimates that it will take two to three months... By then this season's La Liga will be finished, and I can only wait for next season. !"

Xia Ruofei nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Mr. Zhou, if Wu Lei has an operation right away, how long will it take the doctor to arrange it?"

Zhou Leiyun glanced at Xia Ruofei somewhat unexpectedly, and then said: "Dr. Havemere is an authoritative upper limb surgery expert in the world. He has operated on some world-class stars. We are going to invite him to be the chief surgeon for Wu Lei. Specific time... ... until the club gets in touch with him, but it usually doesn't take long."

This kind of authoritative sports surgeon, the operation fee is very high, and the average patient can't afford it at all. He mainly performs operations for some professional athletes, so the schedule is generally not as much as that of ordinary surgeons. nervous.

Xia Ruofei nodded. He turned his attention to Wu Lei and asked seriously, "Wu Lei, if there is a way for you to recover within a week after the operation, would you like to have the operation right away?"
