Chapter 1382 Brave Words

In fact, for Zhou Leiyun, although investing in the Espanyol Club has the element of playing tickets, it also has the intention of increasing its influence and popularity, so he did not buy the entire club with full capital, but mastered the shares that had just reached the holding line. , no more holdings.

Zhou Leiyun naturally despises the profit of running a football club, not to mention that many football clubs are operating at a loss.

He invests in clubs, and the most important thing is the brand effect.

In fact, the introduction of Wu Lei this time can be called high quality and low price, and the price is very high. After the news of Wu Lei's joining the Espanyol was announced, even the share price of Shengshi Group has been lifted a little. If Wu Lei can play in the game in the future, or go further and continue to score goals in La Liga, the brand effect will be more obvious. .

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Leiyun's philosophy of running the club is mainly to maintain the status quo, and he has no strong willingness to invest large sums of money. As long as the club can stay in La Liga, coupled with the advertising effect of Wu Lei, he has already made a lot of money, and he does not need to invest uncontrollably.

Although Zhou Leiyun is not bad for money, the businessman's abacus is always the best, and he won't spend a single cent of the money he doesn't need to spend.

Therefore, Zhou Leiyun felt a little surprised when Xia Ruofei announced that he hoped the team could work hard to enter the European theater, and even promised to give a large bonus, and increase investment to introduce reinforcements next season.

However, Zhou Leiyun is very clear about which one is more important. Xia Ruofei has spoken out, and he will naturally not jump out at this time to demolish the stage.

And for the Espanyol team, investing tens of millions of euros in signings is already a big deal. As long as Xia Ruofei is happy, he doesn't mind investing tens of millions of euros into this club.

In this way, other shareholders can also invest funds together. If other shareholders are unwilling to invest, Zhou Leiyun is also happy to see their shares diluted and his shareholding ratio increased.

Therefore, the strange color on Zhou Leiyun's face was only fleeting, and he soon showed a kind smile, and nodded lightly, making people feel that he had already reached a consensus with Xia Ruofei.

Xia Ruofei's words fell in the ears of head coach Ruby, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As the team's head coach, Ruby knows the team's situation the most. Although Xia Ruofei is right, Espanyol is only 12 points away from the European war zone, which seems to be the difference of four games. With more than a dozen rounds left in the league, it is entirely possible to catch up. But the actual situation is that the gap between the last ten of the league is very small, and a little carelessness may even fall into the relegation zone.

Therefore, Ruby has always believed that relegation is the first priority.

In the next few rounds of the league, when encountering a theoretical relegation opponent, you must fight to the death. As for traditional strong teams such as Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, and Sevilla, you can get the best points, but you can't get points. It is also expected that there is no need to fight recklessly.

After all, reckless opponents may get more red and yellow cards, or even increase in injuries, affecting the games that should really get points.

Goose...well...Barcelona should be excluded.

Although Barcelona is a powerful cosmic team, there is no so-called "strategic abandonment" when the Spaniards face them, which must be fought to the end.

Just because this is the mortal enemy of the same city.

Thinking of this, Ruby couldn't help but say: "Mr. Xia, I think... the goal of the team should be to play steadily, mainly to avoid relegation..."

Xia Ruofei's smile did not diminish, and he did not feel that the other party had offended him. He smiled and said: "Mr. Ruby, whether it is relegation or fighting in Europe, the team must try to get as many points as possible. I don't think the two are the same. Contradictory, isn't it?"

"Of course! But... there are some games where the difference in strength is too big, and if you fight recklessly, it's a bit of a loss." Ruby said.

This can only be said internally, and it is absolutely impossible to admit cowardice when it comes to the outside world, even in front of the players.

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "I used to be a soldier, and there is no word 'give up' in my dictionary. In my opinion, any game must be won with all our strength."

Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei changed the conversation again and said, "Of course, I just put forward a big goal. I don't want and will not interfere with the coach's formation. Everything is still based on your established arrangements."

Xia Ruofei did not expect that the head coach still had some axes, and he still insisted on his own views when facing the major shareholders of the club.

He secretly said in his heart: It seems that Wu Lei can't get any preferential treatment by virtue of his Chinese identity. If he wants to get stable playing time, he still has to show his strength in training!

Of course, Xia Ruofei will not interfere with all this, as long as the head coach does not discriminate, it is fairest to eat based on strength.

And... if he really wants to help Wu Lei, he also has a way to improve Wu Lei's strength.

After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Ruby said humbly: "Thank you Mr. Xia for your support, we will definitely work hard!"

After a short meeting, Xia Ruofei visited the Dani Halk training base accompanied by Zhou Leiyun and others. He also met Wu Lei in the training room who was doing strength training with his teammates under the leadership of the physical coach.

In front of the club's management and head coach Ruby, Wu Lei did not speak to Xia Ruofei, but just smiled and nodded in greeting.

It can be seen that Wu Lei trains very hard. He did not deliberately perform because the boss and the head coach are there. In fact, his training attitude has always been very good. The head coach Ruby also sees that he is ready to use it. Wu Lei is in the squad for the away game against the Yellow Submarines Villarreal this weekend.

However... In the end, Wu Lei did not go to Villarreal City with the team. Xia Ruofei, accompanied by Zhou Leiyun, visited the Columbus Monument and Sagrada Familia in the afternoon, and just returned after having dinner with Zhou Leiyun and Jiang Xiaochen outside. When I arrived at the hotel, I received a WeChat message from Wu Lei: Mr. Xia, I have decided to have an operation immediately, and I have informed the club of my wishes. I will trouble you for the recovery after the operation!

Xia Ruofei couldn't help showing a smile and replied with a message: No problem! Take it easy, if you're lucky, you might be able to catch the home game next weekend!

Wu Lei replied: Hmm! Thank you!

After Xia Ruofei learned that Wu Lei finally decided to operate as soon as possible, he called Zhou Leiyun again.

Wu Lei was a player that Zhou Leiyun personally contacted and introduced. The club also attached great importance to Wu Lei, so after he made the decision to operate, the club also reported to Zhou Leiyun as soon as possible.

Zhou Leiyun said: "Mr. Xia, I already know about this. Don't worry, I have asked someone to contact Dr. Havemeer urgently. He just happened to have no other operations recently. Wu Lei will go for a comprehensive examination tomorrow. If If it goes well, the operation can even be performed tomorrow afternoon! And Dr. Havemere said that he can operate on Wu Lei directly at the surgical clinic he opened in Spain, so that there is no need to go to Germany. "

"That's great!" Xia Ruofei said. "There are still 9 days until the home game next weekend. If it goes well, he may even have a chance to make his home debut!"

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "That depends on your rejuvenation skills! Dr. Havemere's preliminary assessment is that it will take two to three months for postoperative recovery."

"Don't forget that I am also a shareholder!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I will definitely do my best to help him!"

The next day, Zhou Leiyun personally accompanied Xia Ruofei and Dong Yun to continue their tour in Barcelona, ​​while Wu Lei went to Dr. Havemere's surgical clinic accompanied by the Espanyol club doctor and Jiang Xiaochen.

Barcelona's historical and cultural landscapes are very rich. If you really want to visit in depth, it will take many days. Xia Ruofei and the others can only be seen as they are. And today finally ushered in the Open Day of Camp Nou. Dong Yun finally completed her pilgrimage as she wished. As the club chairman of Barcelona's rival in the same city, Zhou Leiyun accompanied him to visit the Camp Nou stadium with mixed feelings.

In addition to his psychological discomfort, he also needs to be careful to cover up. Otherwise, if he is photographed by reporters, it is estimated that tomorrow's newspapers will be full of news such as "Spanish Club's rich Chinese owner visits Camp Nou". Will be overwhelmed by the spittle of Espanyol fans.

Back at the hotel in the evening, Zhou Leiyun hosted Xia Ruofei and his party in the hotel restaurant again, and sent Xia Ruofei back to the room in person after the meal.

Just when Zhou Leiyun was about to leave and go home, Jiang Xiaochen called.

After Zhou Leiyun glanced at the caller ID, he answered the phone quickly. He was also very concerned about Wu Lei's surgery.

"Xiaochen, how are you?" Zhou Leiyun asked.

"Mr. Zhou, I have good news for you. Wu Lei's operation has just ended. Dr. Havemere said the operation was very successful!" Jiang Xiaochen said excitedly.

Xia Ruofei's hearing is much better than ordinary people. Although Zhou Leiyun did not turn on the speakerphone, he still heard very clearly.

Before Zhou Leiyun could speak, Xia Ruofei said, "Mr. Zhou, Wu Lei's operation was successful? Great!"

Zhou Leiyun also smiled and asked, "What did Dr. Havemere say?"

Xia Ruofei said quickly: "Mr. Zhou, turn on the hands-free! Turn on the hands-free!"

Zhou Leiyun nodded, and after turning on the hands-free function, he put the phone on the coffee table.

Jiang Xiaochen's voice came from the speaker of the mobile phone: "Dr. Havemere said that he mainly repositioned Wu Lei's collarbone and reconstructed the shoulder ligaments. The operation was very smooth and achieved or even exceeded the expected results. He also Said that Wu Lei's body is very good, this operation will not affect his career!"

"Great!" Zhou Leiyun clenched his fist, and immediately asked impatiently, "Did the doctor say how long it will take to recover?"

Jiang Xiaochen hesitated and said, "Doctor Harvey Mill told me that Wu Lei needs shoulder immobilization in the first two weeks, and he can receive physical therapy from the third week. It will take about 6 to 8 weeks to fully recover."

Jiang Xiaochen didn't know Xia Ruofei's commitment to Wu Lei, so he felt that it was not wise for Wu Lei to choose surgery at this time, because the 6-8 week recovery period meant that the season was basically over by then, and after such a long rest, Wu Lei still needed To regain his form, it can be said that there are not many opportunities left for Wu Lei this season.

Zhou Leiyun looked up at Xia Ruofei when he heard the words, Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, let Wu Lei stay there to observe for a day, and let him come back tomorrow! The follow-up rehabilitation work will be left to me!"

"Okay!" Zhou Leiyun said happily, and immediately told Jiang Xiaochen on the phone, "Xiaochen, did you hear what President Xia just said?"

"I heard!" Jiang Xiaochen said.

"Do as President Xia said!" Zhou Leiyun said, "Send Wu Lei back tomorrow!"

"Okay! I see!" Jiang Xiaochen said.

He didn't know what medicine Zhou Lei sold in Yun Hulu, but the operation had been successful, and the next rehabilitation training team doctor could help Wu Lei to complete it, so it was not a big problem to return tomorrow.

Seeing that Zhou Leiyun hung up, Xia Ruofei asked, "Mr. Zhou, is there a Chinese medicine store in Barcelona? I need to prepare a few herbs in advance."

"Of course there are Chinese medicine stores. In fact, as long as there are Chinese people in the world, there are basically Chinese medicine clinics." Zhou Leiyun said with a smile, "I will arrange for someone to take you there!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "I'm too lazy to run! I will make a list of the medicinal materials I need. Please send someone to buy it for me! In addition, I need to buy a set of tools for decoction."

Zhou Leiyun originally thought that Xia Ruofei would be worried about the leakage of the prescription, so he asked for someone to send him to the traditional Chinese medicine store. He didn't expect that Xia Ruofei would not care about this at all.

After Zhou Leiyun was stunned for a while, he immediately said, "No problem! Just send me the list, and I'll arrange for it to be done!"

After Zhou Leiyun left, Xia Ruofei directly listed all the medicinal materials he needed on WeChat and sent it to Zhou Leiyun.

After a day of sightseeing, Xia Ruofei was also a little tired.

After Zhou Leiyun left, he took a quick shower and went to bed early.

...

The next day, all the medicinal materials that Xia Ruofei needed were delivered to the room, along with a set of casserole, charcoal and other items, which were also prepared by Xia Ruofei's request from Zhou Leiyun's subordinates.

To make Wu Lei recover quickly, he naturally needs to use Lingxin flower petal solution. As for these medicinal materials, some of them have no effect at all, and some are used to relax the muscles and muscles. With these medicines alone, how can it be possible to achieve only the need for Full recovery in a week?

Xia Ruofei used these medicinal materials to make an ointment, and added a certain amount of Lingxin flower petal solution.

After Xia Ruofei stirred the ointment evenly, he put the bowl of ointment in the small refrigerator in the suite for preservation.
