Chapter 1366 Invitation to Investment

Zhao Yongjun didn't know Zhou Leiyun's intention to meet Xia Ruofei, and when he heard this, he also set his eyes on Zhou Leiyun.

Zhou Leiyun smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Brave, I bought a football club two years ago to play around, you know that, right?"

Zhao Yongjun thought for a while and said, "I have a little impression, isn't it...... The club over there?"

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "At a glance, you know that you don't usually care much about football." It's a Spanish football club, but it's not an ordinary club, it's a La Liga club, it's one of the top five leagues in the world!

"Of course I know Messi!" Zhao Yongjun said, "The first person in world football!"

Messi's fame is so great that even people who don't watch football have mostly heard of this name.

"That's what you say...... Ronaldo's fans don't want to!" Zhou Leiyun laughed and said, "I'm a fan of Ronaldo!"

Zhao Yongjun smiled a little embarrassedly 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 called Royal Espanyol, which is the title of 'Royal' granted by the King of Spain, so there is a crown on the team emblem!"

When Xia Ruofei heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Zhou, as far as I know, there are a lot of Spanish teams that have been named Royal!"

After speaking, Xia Ruofei snapped his fingers and said: "Real Madrid, Real Betis, Real Zaragoza, Real Sociedad ......"

Zhou Leiyun showed a hint of an embarrassed smile and said: "It seems that Mr. Xia still knows football very well! Although there are many teams in Spanish football that bear the name of Royal, it is also a great honor! And Barcelona, known as the Cosmos team, is not a royal team!"

Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "Mr. Zhou seems to have entered the role very quickly! As far as I know, Barcelona is the sworn enemy of the Spaniards! Every time the Catalan derby scene is quite hot!"

Xia Ruofei does know a lot about football, in fact, there are many officers and soldiers in the army who love football, Xia Ruofei often played a game with his comrades when he was in the army, his speed is relatively fast, and his physical fitness is good, his favorite position is the right winger, often along the right side of various breakthroughs, a game of hearty down.

And on weekends, comrades-in-arms will also watch the game together at the company club.

However, after retiring, he has been busy, and the number of times he watches the game is significantly less.

Despite this, Xia Ruofei's understanding of the top league is far greater than that of a football novice like Zhao Yongjun.

He has some grudges and grudges in the five major leagues, such as Manchester United and Liverpool's double red club, Real Madrid's national derby with Barcelona, Liverpool's Merseyside derby with Everton, and even Espanyol's Catalan derby with Barcelona.

Espanyol and Barcelona have a long-standing feud, and the two teams were full of conflicts at the beginning of the team. Barcelona was founded by foreigners such as the British in Catalan at that time, and after the establishment of Barcelona, the local Spaniards in Catalan also established a club, and directly used the name Espanyol, which can be said to be-for-tat.

In addition, because of the gap in strength, the Barcelona team has suppressed the Espanyol team for a long time, and after so many years, the players and fans of the Espanyol team are naturally holding their breath.

Of course, there is a more important reason, both teams are based in Barcelona, Barcelona is world-famous, and Espanyol is very little well-known. are all in the same city, the honor will always belong to Barcelona, others mention the city of Barcelona, and they will only know the Barcelona team, many fans may know that Espanyol is also a regular in La Liga, but they do not necessarily know that this team is actually in the same city as the powerful Cosmos team Barcelona. In the eyes of the Espanyol team, this is intolerable.

The so-called sworn enemies in the same city are probably like this.

Therefore, whether it is in the Copa del Rey or in the league, as long as the Espanyol team meets Barcelona, they do not need to mobilize at all, they are full of fighting spirit, and often because of this strong mental motivation, the players often play at a high level, and occasionally they can draw or even defeat Barcelona.

In the face of Real Madrid, which is basically at the same level as Barcelona, the Espanyol team has very few wins, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a point boy.

Zhou Leiyun said: "Yes! Although our strength on paper is not as good as the other party, what does it matter! Just do it!"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he didn't have any tendencies, to put it bluntly, there is no die-hard team, a high-level team, whether it is Barcelona or Real Madrid, he likes it, top stars, Ronaldo Messi and Messi are also appreciated, but Zhou Leiyun's words are very angry with him.

Xia Ruofei then asked: "Mr. Zhou, we talked about football for a long time, and you haven't said anything about looking for me!"

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "Saying so much, of course it has something to do with football! I want to ask Mr. Xia and Yongjun, are you interested in investing in football clubs? I can let some of the shares of Espanyol come out, and everyone can invest some money to have fun!"

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

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

Zhao Yongjun asked, "Brother Zhou, if I'm not mistaken, your stake in that team is more than 50 percent, right?"

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "That's right, I spent more than 60 million euros at the beginning and won about 54% of the shares!"

Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but ask: "That's just over the holding line! If you divide some of the shares, won't you be able to absolutely control the shares? Don't tell me that the Shengshi Group is short of money! This is not funny at all......

For the scale of the Shengshi Group, tens of millions of euros are just a drizzle, if it is really difficult for the group's funds, then even if all the shares of the Spaniards are sold, it is estimated that it is a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough at all.

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "It's all my own people, is there a difference between giving you shares and staying in my hands? Besides, we can sign a concerted action person agreement! Or if you can trust me, just give me all the voting rights, and I can still have absolute control!"

"That's ......," Zhao Yongjun shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I'm not interested in this matter! I don't know much about football, and after investing in Taoyuan Club, my funds are also relatively tight, so it's better to invest in a football club, you can ask Ruofei, this guy is also a little tyrant!"

Zhou Leiyun himself didn't take this small investment project too seriously, and he made this suggestion just to get closer to Zhao Yongjun and Xia Ruofei, and also to make up for the rift created by Zhou Yuan.

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

"Don't, don't!" Zhao Yongjun waved his hand again and again and said, "Brother Zhou, I never do the white wolf thing with empty gloves, and I really don't have any interest." ”

Although Zhao Yongjun doesn't watch football much, he also knows that investing in football is slow to produce results, and it needs to continue to burn money, and it is not in line with his principles to occupy dry shares without investing money, so he resolutely refused.

Xia Ruofei didn't show much interest, but Zhou Leiyun was so enthusiastic, he couldn't refuse too directly, so he asked, "Mr. Zhou, how many shares do you plan to sell?"

Zhou Leiyun smiled slightly and said: "Then it depends on Mr. Xia's interest, since the brave army is not interested, then we can score half a point, of course, if Mr. Xia wants to have a little less, it's okay, anyway, it's just to invest some money to play." ”

Xia Ruofei showed a deep expression, he didn't want to refuse too quickly, and he also had to think about the wording and refuse Zhou Leiyun's proposal politely.

At this moment, Zhou Leiyun showed a hint of mystery and said: "Mr. Xia, it's still very good to invest in Spaniards now! We will soon have a big move in the transfer market!"

"Oh?" Xia Ruofei also showed curiosity, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, has this taken a fancy to any world-class star? Could it be that the Spaniards are going to make any big moves 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, I still want to play steadily and steadily. However, for us in Huaxia, maybe the sensational effect will not be worse than buying a superstar!"

"Really?" Xia Ruofei said with an eyebrow, "So...... Zhou is always running our Chinese players to join?"

Since it is not those hot superstars, and at the same time can cause a sensation in China, the answer is already coming out, most likely to introduce a Chinese player!

In recent years, because some large enterprises have entered this circle and opened the money-burning mode, the popularity of the Huaxia League has begun to slowly recover, and the broadcast rights of the Huaxia Super League have become more and more popular, and everyone's attention to football is naturally getting higher and higher.

But those dark years, the impact on Chinese football is long-term, the problem of football talent fault is very serious, the ability of Chinese players in these years is obviously not as good as the group of players who entered the World Cup in 02, and it has been a long time since Chinese players have gained a firm foothold in the five major leagues - the kind that looks at water dispensers and sells cars does not count.

If you can introduce a powerful Chinese player in a serious way and maintain a certain appearance rate, there is no doubt that it will detonate a hot spot.

If there is really a Chinese player entering the Espanyol team, then the Espanyol team can become the La Liga team second only to Barcelona and Real Madrid in the number of Chinese fans.

It is even possible to surpass Barcelona and Real Madrid and become the most popular 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!

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

Before the transfer was completed, all the operations were kept secret, 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 top scorer in the Chinese Super League!"

Zhou Leiyun smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Xia hasn't watched the Chinese Super League for a few days...... This season can remove the word 'local', and it shouldn't be a problem for him to win the top scorer in the Chinese Super League!"

"Oh, is it?" Xia Ruofei showed surprise, "He's in such a hot state, and those big-name foreign aides can't beat him?"

After the Huaxia Football Super League opened the money-burning mode, many big stars in the year changed their doors to come to Huaxia under Jin Yuan, and because of the restrictions on the number of foreign aids, 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 strikers slowly starting to change their positions, either pulling to the side to become attackers, or simply changing to a backfield position.

Wu Lei's physical condition is not particularly good, but he can gain a firm foothold in the front court of strong opponents such as Lin, which is not easy in itself, I didn't expect him to beat so many popular stars with an annual salary of more than 10 million euros this season and become the top scorer in the entire league.

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "Yes! Wu Lei's characteristics are very distinct, that is, he is very spiritual in running, and his sense of smell in front of the door is quite sensitive. With so many excellent foreign players feeding him the ball, the goal scoring 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 kick at the door seems to be a little bit meaningless!"

Wu Lei is often criticized for missing a single goal, especially when he is in the national team, the support from the back is not as good as the club, so the goal efficiency has also decreased a lot.

Zhou Leiyun also knew that Xia Ruofei was ridiculing Wu Lei often missing a single goal, he showed a wry smile and said: "No one is perfect! Even Messi can't guarantee that a single knife will be scored! Besides, he will lose so many single knives, first of all, it means that he is a good runner! And the sense of smell in front of the goal is very sensitive, otherwise why don't you see others get so many single opportunities?"

"That's ......," Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Regardless of whether Wu Lei loses a single knife or not, at least in terms of domestic players, he is really powerful, and his characteristics are quite suitable for playing in La Liga!

"Heroes see the same thing!" Zhou Leiyun said happily.

As soon as Xia Ruofei heard that Wu Lei might join Espanyol, he had already 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 this transfer is to succeed?"
