In fact, for Zhou Leiyun, although investing in Espanyol Club is a fun fact, he also has the intention of increasing his influence and popularity. Therefore, he did not acquire the entire club in full, but instead mastered the shares that had just reached the controlling line and did not increase his holdings.

Zhou Leiyun naturally doesn’t like the little profits of running a football club, not to mention that many football clubs are operating without any money.

What he values ​​most when investing in a club is the brand effect.

In fact, the introduction of Wu Lei this time is good and cheap, with extremely high cost performance. After the news of Wu Lei joining the Espanyol team was announced, even the stock price of Shengshi Group has been raised a little. If Wu Lei can play in the game or further score goals in the La Liga, the brand effect will be more obvious.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Leiyun's philosophy of running a club is mainly to maintain the status quo and does not have a strong desire to invest a lot of money. As long as the club can stay in La Liga and Wu Lei's advertising effect, he has made a lot of money and does not need to invest uncontrollably.

Although Zhou Leiyun is not short of money, the businessman's abacus will always be the best, and he will not spend a penny of the money he doesn't need to spend.

Therefore, when Xia Rufei announced that he hoped that the team could make efforts to enter the European war zone, even promised to give a large bonus, and increase investment and introduce strong aids next season, Zhou Leiyun felt a little surprised.

However, Zhou Leiyun is very clear about who is more important. Xia Rufei said it, so he naturally would not jump out to destroy the situation at this time.

Moreover, for Espanyol, investing tens of millions of euros to sign up is already a big deal. As long as Xia Rufei is having fun, he doesn't mind investing tens of millions of euros to this club.

This also allows other shareholders to invest together. If other shareholders are unwilling to invest, Zhou Leiyun is happy to see their shares being diluted and his shareholding ratio increases a little.

Therefore, the strange color on Zhou Leiyun's face flashed and he soon showed a kind smile and nodded gently, making people feel that he had reached a consensus with Xia Rufei.

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

As the team's head coach, Ruby is the clearest about the team's situation. Although Xia Rufei is right, Espanyol Club is only 12 points away from the European War Zone. It seems that the difference in points in four games is only possible to catch up with the league with more than ten rounds left. But the actual situation is that the gap between the bottom ten players in the league is very small, and if you are not careful, you may even fall into the relegation zone.

Therefore, Ruby has always believed that relegation is the top priority. In the next few rounds of the league, when encountering theoretical relegation opponents, you must fight to the death. As for traditional strong teams such as Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, and Sevilla, it is best to get points. If you don’t get points, it is expected that you will not get points. There is no need to fight hard.

After all, a tough opponent may get more red and yellow cards, and even more injuries will increase, which will affect the number of games that should be scored.

Goose...Okay...Barca should be excluded.

Although Barcelona is a powerful cosmic team, Espanyol does not have the so-called "strategic abandonment" when facing them, and they must fight to the end.

It's because this is the mortal enemy in the city.

Thinking of this, Ruby couldn't help but speak, "Mr. Xia, I think... the team's goal should be to play steadily and focus on relegation..."

Xia Rufei's smile remained unabashed, 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 the European competition, the team must get points as much as possible. I don't think these two are contradictory, right?"

"Of course! But... some games with too much strength gap, it's a bit more than worth the effort if they fight hard." Ruby said.

This can only be said internally. You must not admit defeat when you are externally, and you cannot say it explicitly even in front of the players.

Xia Rufei smiled and said, "I used to be a soldier. There is no word "giving up" in my dictionary. In my opinion, I have to strive to win in any game."

Speaking of this, Xia Rufei changed the subject and said, "Of course, I just proposed a big goal. I don't think or interfere with the coach's deployment. Everything is based on your established arrangements."

Xia Rufei didn't expect that the head coach still had some ambitions, and when facing the club's major shareholder, he still insisted on his own point of view.

He said in his heart: It seems that Wu Lei cannot get any preferential treatment based on his Chinese identity. If he wants to get stable playing time, he still has to show his strength in training!

Of course, Xia Rufei would not interfere with all this. As long as the head coach does not discriminate, it is fair to make a living by strength.

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

After hearing Xia Rufei's words, Ruby said in a humble manner: "Thank you Mr. Xia for your support, we will definitely work hard!"

After a brief meeting, Xia Rufei visited the Danihark training base accompanied by Zhou Leiyun and others. He also met Wu Lei, who was carrying out strength training with his teammates under the leadership of the physical coach.

In front of the club management and head coach Ruby, Wu Lei did not speak to Xia Rufei, but just smiled and nodded and greeted him.

It can be seen that Wu Lei is very hard-working in training. He does not perform deliberately because of the boss and the head coach. In fact, his training attitude has always been very good. Head coach Ruby also sees this - he is ready to arrange Wu Lei to challenge the yellow submarine Villarreal away this weekend.

However... Wu Lei did not go to Villarreal City with the team in the end. Xia Rufei visited the Columbus Monument and Sagrada Familia accompanied by Zhou Leiyun in the afternoon. He went out with Zhou Leiyun and Jiang Xiaochen and just returned to the hotel after dinner. He received a WeChat message from Wu Lei: Mr. Xia, I decided to have surgery immediately, and I have informed the club of my wishes. I will trouble you if I recover after surgery!

Xia Rufei couldn't help but smile and replied to a message: No problem! Relax, if you are lucky, maybe you can still catch up with the home game next weekend!

Wu Lei replied: Yes! Thank you!

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

Wu Lei is a player Zhou Leiyun personally contacted and introduced. The club also attaches 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 this. Don't worry, I have asked someone to contact Dr. Javier Mill urgently. He has not arranged other surgeries recently. Wu Lei will go for a comprehensive examination tomorrow. If it goes well, it will even be able to undergo surgery tomorrow afternoon! And Dr. Javier Mill said that he can directly perform Wu Lei in the surgical clinic he opened in Spain, so that he doesn't need to go to Germany again."

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

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "That depends on your wonderful skills in rejuvenation! Dr. Harvey Mill's preliminary assessment is that it takes two to three months to recover after surgery."

"Don't forget that I'm 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 Rufei and Dong Yun and the others to continue their tour in Barcelona, ​​while Wu Lei went to Dr. Javier's surgical clinic accompanied by the Espanyol Club team doctor and Jiang Xiaochen.

Barcelona has a rich historical and cultural landscape. If you really want to visit in-depth, it will take many days, so Xia Rufei and others can only be regarded as a quick look. Today, the opening day of the Camp Nou was finally ushered in. Dong Yun finally completed her pilgrimage as she wished. As the club chairman of Barcelona's archenemy in the city, Zhou Leiyun accompanied the Camp Nou Stadium in a complicated mood.

In addition to psychological discomfort, he also needs to be careful to cover it up. Otherwise, if he is photographed by a reporter, he will probably be full of news about "the rich Chinese boss of the Espanyol club visiting the Camp Nou" in the newspaper tomorrow. At that time, he will be overwhelmed by the spits of Espanyol fans.

When he returned to the hotel in the evening, Zhou Leiyun invited Xia Rufei and his party in the hotel restaurant, and after the meal, he personally sent Xia Rufei back to his room.

Just as Zhou Leiyun was about to say goodbye and go home, Jiang Xiaochen called.

After Zhou Leiyun took a look at the caller ID, he quickly answered the phone - he was also very concerned about Wu Lei's surgery.

"Xiaochen, how about it?" Zhou Leiyun asked.

"Mr. Zhou, report good news to you. Wu Lei's surgery has just ended. Dr. Harvey Mill said the operation was very successful!" Jiang Xiaochen said excitedly.

Xia Rufei's hearing is much better than that of ordinary people. Although Zhou Leiyun did not turn on hands-free, he still heard it very clearly.

Before Zhou Leiyun could speak, Xia Ruofei said, "Mr. Zhou, has Wu Lei's surgery been successful? That's great!"

Zhou Leiyun also smiled and asked, "What do you say about Dr. Harvey Mill?"

Xia Ruofei hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou, turn on hands-free! turn on hands-free!"

Zhou Leiyun nodded, turned on the hands-free function, and placed his phone on the coffee table.

Jiang Xiaochen's voice came from the speakers of the phone: "Dr. Harvey Mill said that he mainly reduced Wu Lei's clavicle and rebuilt the shoulder ligament. The operation was very smooth, achieving or even exceeding the expected results. He also said that Wu Lei's health was very good and this operation would not affect his career!"

"That's great!" Zhou Leiyun clenched his fists and immediately asked impatiently: "Did the doctor say how long it will take to recover?"

Jiang Xiaochen hesitated for a moment and said, "Dr. Harvey Mill told me that Wu Lei needed shoulder fixation in the first two weeks, and he could receive physical therapy from the third week. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks to fully return."

Jiang Xiaochen didn't know Xia Ruofei's promise 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 means that the season is basically over by then, and after resting for so long, Wu Lei still needs 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 Rufei after hearing this. Xia Rufei smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, let Wu Lei stay there for one day, and let him come back tomorrow! The subsequent rehabilitation work will be left to me!"

"Okay!" Zhou Leiyun said happily, and immediately ordered Jiang Xiaochen on the phone, "Xiaochen, have you heard Mr. Xia's words just now?"

"I heard it!" Jiang Xiaochen said.

"As Mr. Xia said!" Zhou Leiyun said, "I'll send Wu Lei back tomorrow!"

"Okay! I understand!" Jiang Xiaochen said.

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

When Xia Ruofei saw Zhou Leiyun hung up the phone, he asked: "Mr. Zhou, is there a Chinese medicine store in Barcelona? I need to prepare a few medicinal 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'll arrange someone to send you there!"

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

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

After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Leiyun immediately said, "No problem! Just send me the list, I will arrange someone to complete it!"

After Zhou Leiyun said goodbye and left, Xia Rufei directly listed all the medicinal materials he needed on WeChat and sent them to Zhou Leiyun.

After a day of visit, Xia Rufei was also a little tired.

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

...

The next day, all the medicinal materials needed by Xia Rufei were delivered to the room, and there was also a set of casseroles, charcoal and other things. This was prepared by Xia Rufei asked Zhou Leiyun's subordinates to prepare.

If Wu Lei recovers quickly, he naturally needs to use Lingxinhua petal solution. As for these medicinal materials, it has no effect at all, while others are used to relieve muscles and activate the collaterals. How can these medicines achieve the effect that can be completely restored in just one week?

Xia Rufei used these medicinal materials to make a ointment and added a certain amount of Lingxinhua petal solution.

After Xia Rufei stirred the ointment evenly, he put the bowl of ointment in the small refrigerator in the suite and kept it.
Chapter completed!
