Ruofei, you played well! "Ling Qingxue stood on the sidelines and gave Xia Ruofei a thumbs up.
It was the first time that she and Song Wei had seen Xia Ruofei play football live. Although it was only an intra-team match, watching the game live was very different from watching video highlights on the Internet. The biggest feeling was that the pace of the players was very fast.
Xia Ruofei was slightly stunned and said, "Eh? You guys are here? "
"We've been here for a while!" Ling Qingxue said with a smile. "We didn't miss any of your wonderful performances, including that goal!"
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said, "How was it? Did I play well? "
"Not bad, not bad!" Ling Qingxue praised. "You feel like a professional player!"
In fact, the people watching the game on the sidelines, including Ling Qingxue, Song Wei, and the coaching staff, did not feel so strongly. Those who played with Xia Ruofei on the field, whether they were teammates or opponents, felt more strongly.
They clearly felt that Xia Ruofei seemed to have become better this time around. They could not pinpoint exactly how he had become better. In short, it was more difficult to defend against. His dribbling had become more erratic, and his passing was even more unpredictable.
Despite this, the main players who were teammates with Xia Ruofei today could still feel very comfortable cooperating with Xia Ruofei. It was as if everyone had played together for a long time and did not feel like they had not broken in at all.
In particular, Xia Ruofei's passes to them were superb. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were always able to pass to their most comfortable positions every time.
And when the dribbling players were faced with multiple blockades and robberies from the other side, they could always see Xia Ruofei's figure within sight and transfer the ball over in time.
Xia Ruofei seemed to be everywhere.
In fact, after Xia Ruofei's cultivation improved, even if he deliberately did not use his True Qi to cheat, his body coordination and reaction ability were much higher than before. Moreover, his Floating Steps body movement had improved a lot since the last time he played for RCD Espanyol. When he dribbled the ball, he would unconsciously use his body movement, which also led to the defensive side's substitute players often not being able to touch the corner of Xia Ruofei's clothes before they were nimbly brushed by him.
Although Xia Ruofei's feelings were not as strong as the players on the field, as an experienced coach, he could naturally see that Xia Ruofei and his teammates cooperated very well.
And Ruby could also see that Xia Ruofei quickly adapted to his teammates' style of play, rather than the players adapting to Xia Ruofei.
It could be said that the other RCD Espanyol players only needed to play according to their usual habits and characteristics, and they would naturally be able to cooperate with Xia Ruofei.
Generally, this kind of situation was between players with a big difference in level. The high-level players could accommodate the characteristics of the low-level players, so that the team as a whole could exert more power.
Although RCD Espanyol was in the middle and lower levels of the La Liga teams, this was La Liga, one of the five major leagues in the world! How bad could a player who could play as the main force in any La Liga team be?
And Xia Ruofei was able to cooperate with these players in such a short time — to be precise, it did not take any time at all. How much higher was his level?
Ruby himself felt a little incredulous. At the same time, it was also a pity. With Xia Ruofei's talent and ability, if he were to engage in professional football, his achievements would be limitless.
But in any case, it was naturally a good thing for RCD Espanyol. At least they could give their opponents a headache in the next game against Barça, so Ruby's mood was quite good.
The next training was mainly jogging and some small games to focus on recovery.
Not to mention this level of intra-team competition, even if it was a real La Liga league, Xia Ruofei would not need to rest and adjust at all if he played the entire game. But he did not want to be a maverick. Since he was at the training ground, he would listen to the coach, so he still completed the next training meticulously.
After the morning training, Xia Ruofei went to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, while Song Wei and Ling Qingxue continued to stroll around the training ground.
Xia Ruofei came out of the bathroom and walked to the closet that belonged to him while drying his hair. After putting on his clothes, he picked up his phone to check and found that there was a missed call and a new email.
The call was from the old company commander, Ma Zheng. Xia Ruofei did not check the email and called Ma Zheng back first.
Xia Ruofei turned on the hands-free mode and put his phone on the stool. Then he quickly stuffed his personal belongings into his bag, carried the bag, picked up his phone, and walked out. At the same time, he turned off the hands-free mode.
At this time, Ma Zheng had just picked up.
"Old company commander, I didn't have my phone with me just now. Are you looking for me?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile, "Have you had dinner?"
Xia Ruofei finished training at about twelve o 'clock in the afternoon. It was seven hours faster in China than here, so it should be around seven o' clock in the evening.
"I called you after dinner," Ma Zheng said. "Ruofei, what time is it over there? It didn't affect your rest, did it? "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "No! No! I'm in Spain now! It's just twelve o 'clock in the afternoon here! Old company commander, you're looking for me? "
"Yes! I have something to report to you! "Ma Zheng said with a smile.
"Don't, don't, don't!" Xia Ruofei said. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't talk about reporting!"
Ma Zheng laughed and said, "You're now the boss, and I'm now the employee. Don't I have to report to you?"
Xia Ruofei could not help but smile bitterly and shake his head.
Ma Zheng continued, "It's like this. As of yesterday, except for a few officers in Lone Wolf who can't take a break for the time being, all the guards recruited this time have arrived. There are a total of 96 people. I asked Wolf King and your subordinate, Squad Leader Xu. Besides Old Liu and a few others, this is the number of people recruited this time. "
"That's nearly a hundred people," Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "It's barely enough to form a company! Haha! It should be enough to be the guards stationed on Peach Blossom Island. But in the future, we will continue to add in some new blood. This way, at least everyone can take turns to rest in China! "
"Isn't this treatment a little too good …" Ma Zheng said with a smile.
Then, he immediately asked, "Ruofei, everyone here is here. Do you think … when will we go to Peach Blossom Island? Comrades can't wait! "
The reason why the veterans wanted to get back to work as soon as possible was mainly because Xia Ruofei had paid them according to the salary they would receive if they worked overseas. Of course, this was because he had entrusted the finance department of the Taoyuan Company to pay them, including the insurance and housing funds of the veterans. This was also done in the name of the Taoyuan Company's employees.
They were still in China, but they were paid according to the salary they had agreed on at the beginning of the month. This made the simple veterans feel a little uneasy. They had to go to Peach Blossom Island to work as soon as possible so that they could receive the money with a clear conscience!
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "You guys are on standby at the farm for the time being! Use this time to organize everyone for training! I'll arrange it as soon as I'm done here! By the way, Old Company Commander, is sister-in-law here? "
"After she finished dealing with her resignation, she rushed over immediately," Ma Zheng said. "She is now at the farm!"
"Then I'll ask Lei Hu to arrange an apartment for you!" Xia Ruofei said.
"No need!" Ma Zheng said. "Actually, living in the dormitory is good! Besides, we won't be staying here for a few days. Aren't we going to Peach Blossom Island soon? "
"What do you mean by no need?" Xia Ruofei said. "Even if it's only for one night, you have to arrange for sister-in-law! Tell me, how long has it been since you went home to visit your family? Now that sister-in-law is here, you still have the nerve to live in the dormitory? It's settled! I'll call you later! "
"Okay …" Ma Zheng said. "Thank you, Ruofei!"
"Old Company Commander, is there anything else?" Xia Ruofei asked.
"Oh … There's one more thing!" Ma Zheng said. "Before you left, didn't you ask me to gather everyone's opinions and study the distribution of clothing and equipment? I've worked overtime these few days to make a first draft, and I've sent it to your email. When you have time, you can take a look and see if it's okay. If you have any suggestions for changes, I'll change it according to your wishes. "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Old Company Commander, you are the users of these uniforms and equipment, so you naturally have the most right to speak. Let me take a look first! As long as it's not particularly difficult to get the equipment in the international arms market, I'll try my best to satisfy your needs! "
"Okay!" Ma Zheng said excitedly. "Okay! Then I won't disturb you! Goodbye! "
After Xia Ruofei hung up the phone, he immediately found Lei Hu's mobile phone number and dialed it. As soon as the phone was connected, Xia Ruofei said, "Huzi! My old Company Commander Ma Zheng's family is also here. Do you know about this? "
"Brother Xia, I know!" Lei Hu said. "I said to arrange a separate staff apartment for them, but Company Commander Ma declined."
"Go and arrange it now!" Xia Ruofei said. "I've already talked to him, so he won't refuse again."
"Yes!" Lei Hu replied.
"Oh right, find someone to clean up!" Xia Ruofei said. "The husband and wife are reunited, so we have to create a good environment."
"Okay! Don't worry! "Lei Hu said.
"That's it then." Xia Ruofei said. "If there's anything, call me. In short, the veterans have to be prioritized. Their reasonable requests must be satisfied as much as possible. Can you do that?"
"Yes!" Lei Hu replied without hesitation.
After Xia Ruofei hung up the phone and put it away, he looked up and saw that the MPV that would take him back to the hotel was already parked not far away. Song Wei and Ling Qingxue didn't get into the car, but stood beside it and waited. When they saw Xia Ruofei looking over, they immediately waved at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei smiled and quickened his pace in their direction.
On the way back, Xia Ruofei opened the email that Ma Zheng had sent on his mobile phone and browsed through it. Anyway, Song Wei and Ling Qingxue, who were sitting in the middle row, were chatting happily and didn't notice what he was doing.
Xia Ruofei saw that the list of weapons and equipment that Ma Zheng had listed was generally reasonable. He didn't take the opportunity to ask for some weapons that weren't very useful in the defense of the island. Even so, to equip this island guard was not a small expense.
This was because the equipment and weapons listed by Ma Zheng were basically all American equipment, including some digital equipment for individual soldiers. Those were all very expensive. There were also weapons specially equipped for snipers. There were even large-caliber anti-material rifles that were specially designed to deal with armored equipment.
If everything was equipped according to this list, this guard would definitely be armed to the teeth. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that such a force could occupy the entire country of Bonautu.
Of course, the price of the good stuff was definitely not cheap.
According to the equipment and quantity on this list, Xia Ruofei roughly estimated that the price would be at least 20 million USD. In other words, it would cost an average of 200 thousand USD to equip a soldier. Moreover, this was only the price. These weapons would definitely be bought from the black market, so the price would be even more expensive.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't plan to save money. To put it bluntly, he established this guard force to solve the livelihood problem of the veterans and give them a high-income job. On the other hand, it was to deal with some problems that might arise in the secular world.
This batch of equipment, in addition to the heavy weapons that Family Liu had originally placed on the island, was enough to form a strong deterrent. Naturally, those small fries wouldn't dare to covet Peach Blossom Island.
As for enemies from the cultivation world, if there were really cultivators who discovered Peach Blossom Island, then no matter how good the guard's equipment was, it wouldn't be of much use. Naturally, they would still have to rely on the Taixu Mystical Clear Formation.
After returning to the hotel, Xia Ruofei first accompanied Ling Qingxue and Song Wei to the restaurant for lunch. Afterwards, the three of them returned to their rooms to rest.
After returning to his room, Xia Ruofei forwarded the email to Li Yifu. He then gave him a call and told him to purchase this batch of equipment from the black market as soon as possible and transport them all to Peach Blossom Island.
As for the funds, Xia Ruofei first transferred 25 million USD to Li Yifu's account because he knew that once Li Yifu finished the matter, he wouldn't accept the money.
In addition, Xia Ruofei also told Li Yifu to quickly find some staff needed on the island, such as tower controllers, dock managers, cooks, doctors, and so on. Of course, the premise was that they were absolutely reliable. Xia Ruofei would also screen the identity of all the personnel who entered Peach Blossom Island.
Xia Ruofei and Ruby greeted each other. Every day, he would participate in the training for half a day. In the afternoon, he would accompany Ling Qingxue and Song Wei to tour Barcelona's scenic spots.
The next two days were the same. Every day, Xia Ruofei would train in the morning and accompany his girlfriend to go shopping in the afternoon.
Three days passed in a flash. Soon, it was the day of the Catalan Derby where Espanyol would challenge Barcelona.
