Zhao Yongjun didn't know Zhou Leiyun's intention to meet Xia Rufei, and he turned his attention to Zhou Leiyun after hearing this.

Zhou Leiyun smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing big. Yongjun, I bought a football club two years ago to play with it. Do you know this?"

Zhao Yongjun thought for a while and said, "I have some impression, is it... a club in Spain?"

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "At a glance, you know that you don't care much about football. It is indeed a Spanish football club, but it is not an ordinary club. It is a La Liga club, which is one of the five major leagues in the world! Does Messi know? The Barcelona team he is in is a La Liga team!"

"Of course I know Messi!" Zhao Yongjun said, "It's the number one person in the world!"

Messi is so famous that most people who don’t watch football have heard of this name.

"You say that... Ronaldo's fans don't want it!" Zhou Leiyun said with a smile, "I am a loyal fan of Ronaldo!"

Zhao Yongjun smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Zhou, I really don't know much about football, but I know Messi and Ronaldo..."

Zhou Leiyun nodded and said, "The club I bought is the full name of Royal Spaniard. This is the title of 'Royal' awarded by the Spanish king, so there is a crown on the team logo!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Zhou, as far as I know, there are many Spanish teams named Royal!"

After saying that, Xia Rufei turned his fingers and said as if he were to tell the truth: "Real Madrid, Real Betis, Real Zaragoza, Real Sociedad..."

Zhou Leiyun showed an embarrassing smile and said, "It seems that Mr. Xia still knows football very well! Although there are many teams in Spanish football named Royal, it is also an amazing honor! And Barcelona, ​​known as the universe team, is not a Royal team!"

Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Mr. Zhou seems to be in the role very quickly! As far as I know, Barcelona is the mortal enemy of Espanyol! Every time the Catade Derby is the scene is quite hot!"

Xia Rufei does know a lot about football. In fact, there are many officers and soldiers in the army who love football. Xia Rufei often plays a game with his comrades when he is in the army. He is relatively fast and has good physical fitness. His favorite position is the right winger. He often breaks through various ways along the right road, and the ball is full of joy.

And on weekends, comrades will also watch football together at the company club.

However, after retiring, he has been busy all the time and has seen the game significantly less.

Despite this, Xia Rufei's understanding of the top league is far more than that of football novices like Zhao Yongjun.

He can know some of his grudges and hatreds about the five major leagues, such as the Double Red Club between Manchester United and Liverpool, the National Derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the Merseyside Derby between Liverpool and Everton, and even the Catalonia Derby between Espanyol and Barcelona, ​​etc.

The strife between Espanyol and Barcelona has been around for a long time. The two teams were full of conflicts at the beginning of their establishment. Barcelona was established by foreigners such as British in the Catalan region at that time. After Barcelona established the team, the local Espanyol in Catalan also established a club, and directly used the name Espanyol, which can be said to be a tit-for-tat confrontation.

In addition, because of the gap in strength, Barcelona has suppressed Espanyol for a long time. Over the years, Espanyol players and fans have naturally been holding their breath.

Of course, there is another more important reason. Both teams are located in Barcelona. Barcelona is world-famous, while Espanyol is very famous. They are both in the same city, and honors always belong to Barcelona. When others mention Barcelona, ​​they will only know Barcelona. Many fans may know that Espanyol is also a regular visitor to La Liga, but they do not necessarily know that this team is actually in the same city as the powerful cosmic team Barcelona. In the eyes of Espanyol, this is unbearable.

This is probably the case with the so-called mortal enemy in the same city.

Therefore, whether in the Copa del Rey or in the league, Espanyol does not need to mobilize at all when they meet Barcelona. They are all full of fighting spirit. Because of this strong spiritual motivation, players often perform at their best and occasionally draw or even defeat Barcelona.

When facing Real Madrid, which is basically the same level as Barcelona, ​​Espanyol has very few wins, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a boy who gives away points.

Zhou Leiyun said: "It's a must! Although our strength on paper is not as good as each other, what's the matter? Just do it!"

Xia Rufei couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He had no tendency. To put it bluntly, he was not a loyal team, a high-level team, whether it was Barcelona or Real Madrid, he also liked the top stars, Ronaldo and Messi, but Zhou Leiyun's words were very tempted by his temper.

Xia Rufei continued, "Mr. Zhou, we have been talking about football for a long time, but you haven't said what to do with me yet!"

Zhou Leiyun smiled and said, "Saying so much, of course it has something to do with football! I would like to ask Mr. Xia and Yongjun, are you interested in investing in football clubs? I can get some of my shares in Espanyol, so everyone can invest some money together!"

Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

Although he doesn't know much about football, as Zhou Leiyun's friend, he has an impression of the original acquisition.

Zhao Yongjun asked, "Brother Zhou, if I remember correctly, your shares in that team will only be more than 50%, right?"

Zhou Leiyun smiled and said, "That's right, I spent more than 60 million euros to acquire about 54% of the shares!"

Zhao Yongjun couldn't help asking, "That just crosses the controlling line! If you divide some of the shares, won't you absolutely control the shares? Don't tell me that Shengshi Group is short of money! This is not funny at all..."

For the scale of Shengshi Group, tens of millions of euros are just a drizzle. If the group has difficulties in funding, even if all the Espanyol shares are sold, it would probably be a drop in the bucket and would not be enough.

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "It's all our own people. Is there any difference between giving shares to you and keeping them in my hands? Besides, we can sign a joint actor agreement! Or if you can trust me, just give me all the voting rights, I can still hold the shares absolutely!"

"That's true..." Zhao Yongjun shrugged and said, "But I'm not interested in this matter! I didn't know much about football at first, and after investing in Taoyuan Club, my funds were also tight. Forget about investing in football clubs, you can ask Ruofei, this guy is also a little rich man!"

Zhou Leiyun himself did not take this small investment project seriously. He made this suggestion just to bring closer relationship with Zhao Yongjun and Xia Rufei, and also to make up for the crack created by Zhou Yuan.

So, Zhou Leiyun said without thinking: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money for the time being! I'll share some of your share..."

"No, no!" Zhao Yongjun waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Zhou, I never do the thing about making money from nothing, and I really have no interest."

Although Zhao Yongjun didn't watch football very much, he also knew that investing in football was slow and he needed to continue to burn money. In addition, if he didn't invest money, he would take up dry shares, which did not conform to his principles, so he refused firmly.

Xia Rufei did not show much interest, but Zhou Leiyun was so enthusiastic that he couldn't refuse too directly, so he asked: "Mr. Zhou, how many shares are you planning to sell?"

Zhou Leiyun smiled and said, "That depends on Mr. Xia's interest. Since the brave army is not interested, we can do it with half a point. Of course, if Mr. Xia wants to be less, it's fine. Anyway, it's just invest some money to play."

Xia Ruofei showed a deep thought. He didn't want to refuse too quickly. He also had to think about his words and politely reject Zhou Leiyun's proposal.

At this moment, Zhou Leiyun showed a trace of mystery and said, "Mr. Xia, it's still very good to invest in Espanyol now! We will make big moves in the transfer market soon!"

"Oh?" Xia Rufei also showed curiosity and asked with a smile, "Did Mr. Zhou like any world-class star? Could it be that Espanyol is going to do something big in the winter window?"

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "There are no world-class stars. My philosophy of running this team is not the kind of money-burning ones. I still hope to play steadily and keep a steady flow. However, for our China, this transfer may be sensational than buying superstars!"

"Is that true?" Xia Ruofei said with a raised eyebrows, "So... Zhou is always working on our Chinese players to join?"

Since they are not those hot superstars and can cause sensation in China, the answer is about to come out, and it is probably to introduce a Chinese player!

You should know that Chinese football has just experienced a dark era, and it can be said that it is a serious injury. In recent years, because some large companies have entered this circle and started the money-burning mode, the popularity of the Chinese League has gradually begun to warm up, and the broadcast rights of the Chinese Super League are becoming more and more popular, and everyone's attention to football is naturally getting higher and higher.

However, those dark years had a long-term impact on Chinese football. The problem of football talent gap was very serious. In recent years, Chinese players' abilities were obviously not as good as those who entered the World Cup in 2002. Moreover, it has been a long time since Chinese players have gained a foothold in the five major leagues. Looking at water dispensers, the kind that sells cars does not count.

If a strong Chinese player can be introduced seriously and maintain a certain playing rate, it will undoubtedly trigger a hot topic.

China's football market is quite large, and the fan group also makes teams in small European countries envious. If a Chinese player really joins the Espanyol team, then the Espanyol team can undoubtedly become the second largest number of Chinese fans to Barcelona and Real Madrid.

It is even possible to surpass Barcelona and Real Madrid to become the number one balloon team in La Liga.

This will greatly promote the team's popularity and subsequent commercial development.

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "Mr. Xia is really quick-minded! He guessed the key point in a moment!"

Xia Ruofei asked with interest: "Mr. Zhou, can you tell me which Chinese player you are planning to introduce?"

Before the transfer was completed, all operations were kept confidential, but Zhou Leiyun did not intend to hide it. He said directly: "Wu Lei, you should know, right?"

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Of course, the best local scorer in the Chinese Super League!"

Zhou Leiyun laughed and said, "It seems that Mr. Xia has a day to not watch the Chinese Super League... He can remove the word "local" this season, and it should not be a big problem for him to win the Chinese Super League top scorer!"

"Oh? Is it?" Xia Rufei showed surprise. "He is in such a hot state? Those big-name foreign players can't beat him?"

After the Chinese Football Super League started the money-burning mode, many big stars in their age changed their goals to China under the gold and RMB. Because there are restrictions on foreign players, the team generally gives priority to introducing midfielders, and the goal efficiency of these people is much higher than that of local Chinese players.

This has also led to many domestic forwards gradually changing their positions, either pulling to the wing to become assaulters, or simply changing their positions in the backcourt.

Wu Lei's physical condition is not particularly outstanding, but he can gain a foothold in the frontcourt of the strong players, which is already very difficult. Unexpectedly, he can defeat so many popular stars with a salary of more than 10 million euros this season and become the best scorer in the entire league.

Zhou Leiyun smiled and said, "Yes! Wu Lei's characteristics are very distinctive, that is, his running position is very spiritual and his sense of smell is quite sensitive in front of the goal. With so many excellent foreign players feeding him the ball, the goal efficiency must be much higher!"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "The running position is first-class, but his last kick seems to be a little bit bad!"

Wu Lei is often criticized for missing a single shot, especially when he is in the national team. The support from the backcourt is not as good as the club, so his goal efficiency has also been reduced a lot.

Zhou Leiyun also knew that what Xia Rufei joked about Wu Lei often missed single shots. He smiled bitterly and said, "No one is perfect! Even Messi cannot guarantee that he will score a single shot! Besides, he will lose so many single shots, which means that he is awesome in running position! And his sense of smell in front of the goal is very sensitive, otherwise why didn't you see others get so many single shots?"

"That's true..." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "regardless of whether Wu Lei loses one-on-one or not, at least for domestic players, he is really powerful, and his characteristics are quite suitable for playing in La Liga! After all, La Liga is more skilled and has a little poor physical confrontation, so it's not a big problem!"

"Heroes have similar views!" Zhou Leiyun said happily.

When Xia Rufei heard that Wu Lei might join Espanyol, he had originally planned to reject Zhou Leiyun, but now he was really a little moved.

So Xia Ruofei asked: "Mr. Zhou, can you tell me how likely it is to succeed in this transfer?"
Chapter completed!
