Chapter 1381: New Shareholders, New Weather
The joy on Wu Lei's face flashed, and then hesitated, saying, "There is a saying on the Internet that Yuji ointment and Yangxin Decoction were all developed by Mr. Xia. Some people say that Mr. Xia has a very high level of traditional Chinese medicine. However, there are many people who have the opposite opinion. After all, Mr. Xia is so young..."
In fact, the rumors on the Internet are not groundless. After all, Xia Rufei has treated many people, and there are many people who know that he has good medical skills. Although most of this kind of news is only circulated in the upper circle, it is inevitable that someone will spread to the Internet.
Zhou Leiyun and Zhao Yongjun have a good relationship. Although he didn't know that Xia Rufei could even cure cancer, he at least knew that Xia Rufei had high attainments in traditional Chinese medicine and was very sure that Yangxin Decoction and Yujing Paste were all developed mainly by Xia Rufei.
Therefore, after listening to Wu Lei's words, Zhou Leiyun smiled and said, "Wu Lei, I can tell you responsibly that Mr. Xia has a high level of traditional Chinese medicine. Since he said that, he must be sure. You can carefully consider Mr. Xia's suggestions."
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, are you so confident in me? What if I am bragging? Wu Lei will not be able to play the ball this season, which will be a great loss to you and the club!"
Zhou Leiyun spread his hands and said, "You are also one of the shareholders of the club! It's not me who suffers losses alone!"
Wu Lei couldn't help but feel speechless. In fact, after hearing Zhou Leiyun's words, he was already in a state of great emotion. After all, he only missed one round of the league in a week. He still had at least seven or eight rounds of chance to finish the league. Moreover, if the trouble of acrolimbic joint injury is completely solved, it will be beneficial to his condition.
After all, although I can play football now, I always worry about hurting my shoulder joint again, which will have certain psychological shadows, so it is naturally impossible to fully perform technical movements.
But as soon as Zhou Leiyun finished speaking, he immediately started joking with Xia Rufei again.
For the two big bosses, this loss is naturally nothing, but they are different!
He is 27 years old this year, and every time he plays football is very precious to him. If he can't play football this season, he will have to wait until the new season of the league will start in September.
In this case, Wu Lei is actually more inclined to have surgery after the end of the season.
When Xia Rufei saw Wu Lei showing a tangled look, she smiled and said, "Wu Lei, since I made this suggestion, of course I am a certainty. I am also a shareholder of the club. It is impossible for the players to sacrifice the interests of the players for no reason, right? Besides, you are now a benchmark for Chinese football! Your influence is also very important to the club, and I will not joke about such things."
Speaking of this, Xia Rufei paused again and said, "Of course, the final decision is up to you."
Wu Lei nodded gratefully and said, "I understand, I will consider it seriously. Thank you Mr. Xia! I... need to discuss it with my family, so I can't give an answer immediately..."
"Understand!" Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Come on! Drink another one!"
Next, they didn't talk about the injuries anymore, just chatting while eating and drinking. In this foreign land, compatriots would have a special sense of intimacy. Although Xia Rufei and Zhou Leiyun were both Wu Lei's bosses, neither of them had any airs. Wu Lei gradually put down his restraint and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
After dinner, Zhou Leiyun and Xia Rufei made an appointment to go to the Espanyol Club tomorrow to handle the relevant procedures for equity transfer, and then said goodbye - he bought a manor mansion in Barcelona, and he could live there for almost a month in a year.
Xia Rufei and Wu Lei went back to their rooms to rest.
After Xia Rufei returned to the room, she went to the bathroom to take a shower. After changing into a loose bathrobe, she sat on the sofa in the living room and turned on her phone and asked everyone's situation in the WeChat group.
After all, this place is abroad and I am not familiar with the place. Since I have brought these employees out, I have to be responsible for them.
Dong Yun replied to Xia Rufei in the group. She and the employees were still shopping outside. Barcelona's nightlife was also very rich. For those young girls and young men, everything here is very fresh.
Xia Rufei did not ask too much, so he reminded everyone to pay attention to safety.
With someone sent by Zhou Leiyun, no problems usually occur. Although the public security in Europe is not as good as in China, Barcelona is still good.
...
The next day, Xia Rufei and his employees were still divided into two groups.
Zhou Leiyun sent two subordinates who were familiar with Barcelona to accompany Dong Yun and the others on a trip, while Xia Rufei went to the Espanyol Club.
It just so happened that Wu Lei was going to go to training, so the two left the hotel by taking a business car sent by the club.
The hotel is not too far from the club's training base, it is only about seven or eight kilometers, and it is more than a dozen minutes' drive.
Soon Xia Rufei saw the blue exterior wall of the Espanyol Club training base from afar, with huge white team badges inlaid on the walls and the words "Royal Espanyol Football Club" in Spanish.
Wu Lei sat next to Xia Rufei and introduced: "Mr. Xia, this training base is called Danihark Base. This is named to commemorate the legendary Espanyol team leader Danihark who died in 2009."
Xia Rufei looked at the bronze statue of Danihark, nodded and said, "I heard that fans still maintain the tradition of applauding the whole audience in the 21st minute of the game, just to commemorate the legendary captain?"
"Yes! Danihark wore No. 21 jersey at Espanyol." Wu Lei said, "Mr. Xia, the football atmosphere here is really great! I like playing football here!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Then train hard, I hope you can play the main player as soon as possible!"
"Yes! I'll lend you auspicious words!" Wu Lei said.
The car drove into the training base. Xia Rufei sat in the car and looked around and found that the Danihark base was a bit small. Although the facilities were relatively professional, for a top league team, the place was a little smaller.
Wu Lei was training in strength in the morning, so when he drove to the training room, he got out of the car, while Xia Rufei sat in front of a small building - this was the office building of the Espanyol Club.
Zhou Leiyun had already arrived in front of the building and was waiting. There was a man in his thirties standing beside him. This was Jiang Xiaochen, the spokesperson of Zhou Leiyun in the Espanyol Club.
In addition to Zhou Leiyun and Jiang Xiaochen, the management of Espanyol Club also came to welcome him.
These managers and directors received a notice from Zhou Leiyun yesterday and knew that part of Zhou Leiyun's shares had been transferred to a boss who also came from China. They were a little nervous. After all, Espanyol Club is a mid- and lower-level La Liga team that has been hovering near the relegation line for a long time. Zhou Leiyun suddenly reduced his holdings and did not know whether the club's subsequent business ideas would change.
The La Liga rankings this season are very chaotic. Although Espanyol is currently in the middle position, it is not much different from the European War Zone, and it is also not much higher than the relegation zone. It is not impossible to have a slight mistake and relegation. If the boss reduces his investment and causes people to move, the team may collapse at the end of the season.
The club management teams saw the young Xia Rufei getting out of the car alone, and they were still muttering in their hearts - the equity transfer of tens of millions of euros, and the new club shareholder did not even bring a legal counsel...
However, while they were still stunned, Zhou Leiyun had already walked up to him and greeted him enthusiastically.
Seeing that the rich Chinese boss was so polite, the management naturally did not dare to neglect and went forward.
After a few greetings with Xia Ruofei, Zhou Leiyun introduced the management of the Espanyol Club to him, while Jiang Xiaochen personally became the translator.
Jiang Xiaochen studied in Spain in his early years and obtained a master's degree in sports management. He had work experience in many clubs in Spain. Later, after Zhou Leiyun acquired the Espanyol Club, he recruited Jiang Xiaochen to his job through a headhunting company.
Jiang Xiaochen has another advantage in working here, that is, the place where he studied abroad was also the Catalonian region of Spain, so there is basically no problem with listening, speaking, reading and writing Catalan.
Catalan is also the official language of Spain. Compared with standard Spanish, it is like Chinese Mandarin and Cantonese. People who only know Spanish can hear Catalan. Although they can understand some meanings, there are still certain obstacles to normal communication.
As a club with a long history in the Catalonian region, many staff members and even many players are actually from the Catalonian region, and the language they communicate with is naturally Catalan.
Jiang Xiaochen's ability to use Catalan proficiently is naturally of great help to his work.
Xia Rufei had a polite but reserved smile on her face, shook hands and greeted the management of these clubs one by one, and then walked into the office building accompanied by Zhou Leiyun.
The club management all went back to their respective positions to work - they just participated in the greeting to show the club's attention.
Zhou Leiyun and Jiang Xiaochen accompanied Xia Rufei to an office. The legal counsel had prepared all the documents that needed to be signed and took Xia Rufei's passport to copy several copies.
After Xia Rufei signed the document, he handed it to the legal counsel together with a copy of his passport. He did not need to participate in the rest of the matter in person. Some professionals went to the official registration, filing, etc.
The Espanyol Club is not listed, so the transfer of equity is relatively simple. However, with the work efficiency in Europe, it is estimated that it will take at least five days to one week.
But in fact, Xia Rufei is now a shareholder of the Espanyol Club, because the person who transferred the shares to him was Zhou Leiyun, and there was no possibility of any variable in the whole process.
Then, Zhou Leiyun asked Jiang Xiaochen to summon the club's shareholders and management to the conference room, and the first team coach Ruby was also called over. He is also a very important part of the club. He naturally cannot be absent from the major event such as the change of the club's equity.
After everyone arrived, Zhou Leiyun accompanied Xia Rufei into the conference room.
Xia Rufei had a faint smile on his face. After a week, he felt everyone's expressions differently, and probably felt a little upset in his heart.
After the two sat down, Zhou Leiyun said: "I believe everyone understands it. I transferred about half of my shares to Mr. Xia Rufei. Starting today, Mr. Xia Rufei will become a shareholder of the Royal Espanyol Club and hold 25% of the club's shares! Please give me a speech below!"
After Jiang Xiaochen translated Zhou Leiyun's words, there was still warm applause in the conference room, and everyone was looking at the young club's new shareholder.
After Xia Rufei calmed down the applause, he said with a smile: "Thank you for your enthusiasm! I need to make it clear first that this is just one of my many investments, and I don't have more energy to pay attention to the daily operations of the club. Therefore, while I transferred my equity, I also signed a joint actor agreement with President Zhou, and gave the voting rights of my shares to President Zhou."
Xia Rufei paused for a while, and after Jiang Xiaochen finished translating his passage, he continued: "So, Mr. Zhou Leiyun will still be the chairman of the Royal Espanyol Club. The daily operations of the club are as usual, so there is no need to worry about any huge changes."
After hearing Xia Rufei's words, shareholders, management and head coach Ruby in the conference room felt much more at ease. They were just worried that the club would undergo drastic changes. If the team was relegated, it would be a disaster. Originally, the number of fans in Barcelona was not as good as Barcelona, and if they were reduced to the Spanish Second Division, it would be even worse.
Xia Rufei continued: "Before I came here, I learned about the situation of the Espanyol club and also paid attention to the standings of this season. The Espanyol team is currently ranked 15th, 11 points more than the relegation zone, but at the same time, it is only 12 points away from the European War Zone. It can be said to be a one-step paradise and a one-step hell.
However, the subsequent schedule is still relatively beneficial to us, and we have not encountered too many strong teams. If we perform well, it is impossible to enter the European war zone. This requires the joint efforts of everyone here! What we can do is to provide everyone with all their might!
I have a consensus with Mr. Zhou, that is, I hope that the Real Espanyol Club will return to the European game as soon as possible. I think there will be hope for this season! If the team can enter the Europa League this season, even if it is just a qualifying match, the prize money will definitely satisfy everyone. We will also increase the recruitment efforts next season to keep the team strong competitiveness!"
After Xia Rufei's words were translated by Jiang Xiaochen, everyone in the conference room showed a strange look, and even Zhou Leiyun looked at Xia Rufei with some surprise.
Chapter completed!
