In the newspaper, the most prominent position was a photo of Zhang Guan standing on the podium. The photo was also accompanied by an eye-catching title: "Zhang Guan won the sixth gold!" Became the athlete who won the most gold medals in a single Asian Games."
“In the men’s 800-meter middle-distance running final of the Asian Games that just ended yesterday, Chinese athlete Zhang Guan won the championship in 1 minute, 42.80 seconds, and this result is also a new Asian record. This is Zhang Guan’s best performance in this Asian Games. The sixth gold medal won at the Games! Zhang Guan also became the athlete with the most gold medals in one Asian Games. Before that, three players had won five gold medals in one Asian Games, respectively in 1990. Shen Jianqiang in the Asian Games, Mo Huilan in the 1994 Asian Games and Xu Yanwei in the 2002 Asian Games. Zhang Guanzai's sixth gold medal yesterday also allowed him to successfully overtake these three players and become the first in the Asian Games. 'The King of Gold'."
"Today, Zhang Guan will also participate in the men's 4x100m relay race. If Zhang Guan can successfully win the championship, he will win his seventh gold medal in this Asian Games!"
"Zhang Guan's achievements in the Asian Games remind us of American swimming star Michael Phelps. He won six gold medals at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Can Zhang Guan compete in the next Olympics? What about surpassing Phelps?”
"Let's analyze it carefully. Of the six gold medals Phelps won, only four were in individual events, while all the six gold medals Zhang Guan has won so far were in individual events. It can be seen that Zhang Guan Guan is definitely better in terms of personal ability..."
Mr. Cui put down the newspaper in his hand and said dissatisfiedly to the subordinates in front of him: "What did your publicity department do? I have long proposed to sign Zhang Guan as our spokesperson. Why has it taken so long? Is there any news? It’s great this time. Zhang Guan has already won six gold medals, and he may win the seventh gold medal today. Do you know what an important opportunity our group has missed?"
"Mr. Cui, in fact, we have already negotiated with Zhang Guan's agent, but the price they ask is too high. It's 15 million a year!" A short man with a mustache said in defense. Dao, he is Manager Liu of the publicity department.
Just listen to Manager Liu continue to say: "This price is already the sum of our publicity budget for several years. If we really follow this price, the chairman will definitely not be able to pass it."
"The so-called asking price to pay back the money on the spot. If someone asks for 15 million, you should really give 15 million! You have to bargain! And those people in our group's office in Beijing have such a huge budget every year. Is all this money wasted on trying to smoothen the relationship? It’s time to let them find a relationship!" Mr. Cui said dissatisfied.
Manager Liu said aggrievedly: "We contacted our group's office in Beijing and contacted the Tian Management Center. However, Zhang Guan is his own agent team and is not managed by the Tian Management Center, so Zhang Guan's endorsement price is It doesn’t matter what the farm management center says.”
After hearing this, Mr. Cui took a deep breath, frowned and asked, "Fifteen million is indeed too expensive. We have to find a solution elsewhere. Who is the director of the Field Management Center now?"
"It's Director Luo now, but I heard that Director Luo will be transferred after the Asian Games, and another Director Qu will take over as the new director of the Field Management Center." Manager Liu said immediately.
"Director Qu?" Mr. Cui nodded thoughtfully and murmured to himself, "It seems I have to make a trip myself."
…
December 12 is the last day of track and field competition at the Doha Asian Games.
In the men's 110-meter hurdles competition that started first, Liu Feiren won the championship without any suspense. An hour later, the 4x100m race officially started.
In the women's 4x100m race that started first, the Chinese team achieved a reversal in the third leg and finally won the gold medal. After a five-minute break, the men's 4x100m contestants also stood on the track.
Judging from the preliminaries, West Asian countries did not perform well. Countries such as Saudi Arabia obviously focused on the final 4x400m event, so they did not pay much attention to the 4x100m event. The Japanese team is still the most powerful opponent of the national team. The four-man combination of Suetsugu Shingo, Asahara Nobuharu, Takahira Shinji and Tsukahara Naoki is enough to sweep the entire Asia, of course, provided that Zhang Guan does not participate in the game.
It is worth mentioning that the Thai team seems to have suddenly emerged. Their neutralization results in the preliminaries were very good, especially in terms of cooperation in handover, which was very pure and they obviously spent a lot of time training.
At the beginning of the game, the Thai team and the Japanese team took the lead in the first leg, while the black player from Qatar was in third place, and the national team player was only temporarily fourth.
The first player of the national team is Wen Yongyi. He is considered the weakest among the four athletes. It is not surprising that he is in fourth place.
The second player of the national team is Hu Kai, the glasses man. If Zhang Guan is not here, he should be running the fourth team, so his speed is generally faster than other second team players, and therefore He gained some time back.
When the second and third rounds were handed over, the Japanese team and the Thai team were clearly in the lead. The Japanese team was better at speed, but the Thai team was more skillful in the handover. It can be said that the two were neck and neck. , and the Chinese team is in the third position, and can still catch up with the Japanese team and the Thai team in front. The remaining players are already a little bit left behind by the leading group.
The Chinese team's third runner is Yang Yao. His strength is on par with the Japanese team's third runner, Shinji Takahira. He defeated Shinji Takahira in the 200m final a few days ago and won the bronze medal at the Asian Games. Therefore, Yang Yao once again narrowed the gap with the Japanese team and the Thai team. At this time, the situation has turned into a competition among the three countries. It can be expected that the medals will inevitably fall on these three countries, but who will win? The final champion is still a mystery.
Finally, it was the fourth leg. What was unexpected was that the first to complete the handover of the fourth leg was the Thai team.
I saw Songdi, the fourth leg member of the Thai team, quickly accelerating to the extreme. Although his limit speed was not particularly fast, his acceleration time was extremely short. Not long after he started running, his speed had already increased.
The second person to pass the baton was Japan's Suetsugu Shingo. This sprinter, second only to Zhang Guan among active Asian athletes, began to desperately chase Japan's Sundi forward.
The third person to hand over the baton was naturally Zhang Guan. After seeing the successful handover between Yang Yao and Zhang Guan, Director Ma and Director Yu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Although the Chinese team is currently in a lagging position, as long as the baton is successfully handed over to Zhang Guan , without any mistakes, the championship is already in hand.
Although Sondi, who is in the leading position, is the fastest runner in the Thai team, his real strength is barely enough to even enter the Olympic B standard. The Thai team was able to take the lead entirely due to their more skilled cooperation.
In a relay race, a perfect cooperation can save a lot of time, but some athletes from powerful countries are inherently superior in strength and need to prepare for individual events, so they will have much less time to practice cooperation in relay races. On the other hand, the Thai team took a different approach. Their athletes were not very strong and could not win medals in the first place, so they spent a lot of training time on cooperation in the relay race, and they achieved miraculous results.
It's just that after the handover of the fourth baton, the coordination process has ended. At this time, the comparison is still about the strength of the athletes in the fourth baton.
The fourth leg of the relay race has an additional step-up process than running 100 meters directly, so the faster runners obviously have an advantage. Moxu Shenwu has an advantage over Songdi, and Zhang Guanze has an advantage over Moxu Shenwu.
I saw Moxu Shenwu chasing Songdi, and Zhang Guan chasing Moxu Shenwu. Before Sushu Shenwu could catch up with Songdi, Zhang Guan had already surpassed Sushu Shenwu, and then quickly surpassed Songdi, almost crossing the finish line with a body advantage.
Sutsugo Shingo and Sondi crossed the line almost at the same time, and it takes slow-motion replay to determine who is the leader between the two. In the end, the results of the two teams happened to be the same. After comparing thousands of seconds, the Thai team was lucky to defeat the Japanese team and won the runner-up.
After this game, Zhang Guan also completed his first trip to Asia. He participated in a total of seven events and won gold medals in all seven events.

On the wine table, people were drinking and drinking.
Mr. Cui personally poured wine for Director Qu and said, "I didn't expect Director Qu to have such in-depth research on antique calligraphy and painting! Today is really an eye-opener for me!"
"This can't be called research. I just watched others play this, and I learned a little bit from it. It's all superficial..." Director Qu said, tapping the tabletop gently with his hand.
"Speaking of these antique calligraphy and paintings, I know there is a store with a lot of good stuff." Mr. Cui said.
"Oh? What's the name of that store?" Director Qu asked.
"Haha, that store is too remote. Director Qu, you definitely don't know." Mr. Cui said with a smile.
"It's impossible. There's no one in the capital that sells antiques, calligraphy and paintings that I don't know about." Director Qu said confidently.
"Director Qu, I didn't mean to lie to you. The location of the store is too remote. It's in an alley and not many people know about it. The owner of the store is also an old man. I heard that his ancestor was Baylor from the former Qing Dynasty!" Cui He lowered his voice and continued: "Why don't you take a look. When you are free, I will take you to find the way."
"Do you know the way?" Director Qu narrowed his eyes and hesitated a little.
Today's dinner was arranged by an acquaintance of Director Qu, and he couldn't refuse. This was the first time Director Qu had met Mr. Cui in front of him. From Mr. Cui's behavior at the dinner, Director Qu could also tell that, This Cui always comes specifically to make friends with himself.
When living in the capital, personal connections are important, and Director Qu certainly understands this. Moreover, Mr. Cui also comes from a very large group and is the leading company in the domestic milk powder industry. There is no harm in knowing more of such people, so Director Qu It was natural to accept Mr. Cui’s friendship.
