Chapter 139: Befriending
In the newspaper, the most conspicuous position is a photo of Zhang Guan standing on the podium, accompanied by a striking headline: "Zhang Guan wins the sixth gold!" Become the athlete who has won the most gold medals in a single Asian Games".
In the men's 800-meter middle run final of the Asian Games track and field just ended yesterday, my country's player Zhang Guan won the championship in 1:42.80, and this result is also a new Asian record, which is the sixth gold medal won by Zhang Guan in this Asian Games! Zhang Guan also became the athlete who won the most gold medals in one Asian Games. Prior to this, there were three players who had won five gold medals in one Asian Games, namely Shen Jianqiang in the 1990 Asian Games, Mo Huilan in the 1994 Asian Games and Xu Yanwei in the 2002 Asian Games. And Zhang Guan's sixth gold medal won yesterday also allowed him to successfully surpass these three players and become the 'multi-gold king' in the Asian Games. ”
"And today, Zhang Guan will also participate in the men's 4 x 100 meters relay race, if Zhang Guan can successfully win the championship, he will win his seventh gold medal in this Asian Games!"
"Zhang's achievements at the Asian Games remind us of American swimmer Michael Phelps, who won six gold medals at the 2004 Athens Olympics, will Zhang Guan be able to surpass Phelps in the next Olympics?"
"Let's carefully analyze that among the six gold medals won by Phelps, only four gold medals are in individual events, and Zhang Guan's current six gold medals are all achieved in individual events, which shows that Zhang Guan must be better in terms of personal ability......
Mr. Cui put down the newspaper in his hand, and said to several subordinates in front of him very dissatisfied: "How did your propaganda department do it, I have long proposed to sign Zhang Guan as our spokesperson, why has it been so long and completely moved?" This time it's good. Zhang Guan has already won six gold medals, and he may win a seventh gold medal today, do you know what an important opportunity our group missed? ”
"Mr. Cui, in fact, we have already negotiated with Zhang Guan's agent, but their asking price is too high, and one mouth is fifteen million a year!" A short man with a mustache opened his mouth to argue that he was Manager Liu of the propaganda department.
I only heard Manager Liu continue: "This price is already the sum of our publicity budget for several years, if it is really according to this price, the chairman will definitely not be able to pass the test." ”
"The so-called sky-high asking price is paid back on the spot. If people want fifteen million, you really give fifteen million! You've got to bargain! And those people in our group's Beijing office, so much budget every year to dredge up the relationship, this money is spent in vain? At this time, it is time for them to find a relationship! Mr. Cui said dissatisfiedly.
Manager Liu said very aggrievedly: "We found our group's Beijing office, and we also contacted the field management center, but Zhang Guan is his own agent team and is not managed by the field management center, so Zhang Guan's endorsement price is not counted by the field management center." ”
Mr. Cui took a deep breath when he heard this. Frowning, he asked, "Fifteen million is indeed too expensive, and we have to think of a way from other places." Who is the current director of the field management center? ”
"It's Director Luo now, but I heard that Director Luo will be transferred away after the Asian Games, and another Director Qu will take over as the new director of the Athletics Management Center." Manager Liu said immediately.
"Director Qu?" Mr. Cui nodded thoughtfully. He muttered to himself, "Looks like I'm going to have to make a run myself." ”
……
On December 12, the last day of the athletics event at the Asian Games in Doha.
In the men's 110-meter hurdles competition, Liu Feiren won the championship without any suspense. An hour later, the 4x100m race began.
The first to start is the women's 4x100m race. The Chinese team achieved a comeback in the third baton and finally won the gold medal after a short break of five minutes. The men's 4x100m runners also took to the track.
Judging from the situation in the preliminaries, the West Asian countries did not play well, such as Saudi Arabia and other countries, obviously focused on the final 4 x 400 m event, so they did not pay attention to the 4 x 100 m. The Japanese team is still the strongest opponent of the national team, and the four-person combination of Shingo Suesu, Shinji Asahara, Shinshi Takahira and Naoki Tsukahara is enough to sweep the whole of Asia, of course, provided that Zhang Guan does not participate in the competition.
It is worth mentioning that the Thai team seems to have risen to prominence, and their results in the preliminary round were very good, especially in terms of the coordination of the baton, which was very pure, and obviously spent a lot of time training.
At the start of the match, Thailand and Japan took the lead in the first bat, while the black player from Qatar was in third place and the national team was only in fourth place.
The first batter of the national team is Wen Yongyi, who is the worst of the four athletes, and it is not surprising that he is in fourth place.
The second player in the national team is Hu Kai, if Zhang Guan is not there, he should be running the fourth base, so his speed is generally faster than the other second basemen, so he regained some time.
When the second and third baton are crossed, the Japanese team and the Thai team are obviously in the lead, the Japanese team is better at speed, but the Thai team is more skillful, the two can be said to be evenly matched, and the Chinese team is in the third position, and it can be regarded as chasing the Japanese team and the Thai team in front, and the remaining players have been a little bit thrown away by the leading group.
The third baton of the Chinese team is Yang Yao, whose strength is on par with the third batter of the Japanese team, Shinshi Takahira, who also defeated Shinshi Takahira in the 200m final a few days ago and won the bronze medal in the Asian Games. So Yang Yao once again narrowed the gap between the Japanese team and the Thai team, and the situation at this time has become a competition between the three countries, and it can be expected that the medals will inevitably fall on the heads of these three countries, but who will win the final championship is still a mystery.
Finally, it was the fourth baseman, and unexpectedly, the first to complete the fourth baton was the Thai team.
I saw that the Thai team's fourth-band player Sundy quickly accelerated to the extreme, although his limit speed was not particularly fast, but his acceleration time was extremely short, and it was not long before he started running, and his speed had already increased.
The second hand was Japan's Shingo Sueji, the sprinter behind Zhang Guan among the current Asian athletes, who began to desperately chase Japan's Sundy.
The third to carry out the handover is naturally Zhang Guan. When they saw the smooth completion of the 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 now in a backward position, as long as the baton is smoothly handed over to Zhang Guan and there are no mistakes, the championship is equivalent to being in hand.
Although Sundy is the fastest runner in the Thai team, his real strength is a little reluctant to even enter the Olympic B standard. Thailand were able to take the lead thanks to their more skillful combination.
In the relay race, a perfect match can save a lot of time, but some strong athletes are already more advantageous and need to prepare for individual events, so there will be a lot less practice time in the relay match. On the other hand, the Thai team took a different path. Their competitors were not strong enough to win medals in the first place, so they spent a lot of training time on relay coordination, and it worked wonders.
It's just that after the completion of the fourth baton, the process of cooperation has ended, and at this time, the strength of the fourth baton athlete is still compared.
The fourth leg of the relay race has one more process of running than running 100 meters directly, so the fast runner obviously has an advantage. Shen Wu has an advantage over Songdi, and Zhang Guan has an advantage over Shen Wu.
I saw that Shingo Sue chased after Songdi. And Zhang Guan chased after Shingo at the end. When Shingo had not yet caught up with Songdi, Zhang Guan had already surpassed Shingo Sue, and then quickly surpassed Songdi, almost crossing the finish line with a position advantage.
Shingo Sueji and Sondy crossed the line almost at the same time. It takes a slow-motion replay to determine who is the leader between the two. In the end, the results of the two teams were exactly the same, and after comparing the thousandths of a second, the Thai team finally won the championship by defeating the Japanese team.
After this game. Zhang Guan also completed his first trip to Asia, competing in a total of seven events and winning gold medals in all seven events.

Wine table. Staggered.
While personally adding wine to Director Qu, Mr. Cui said: "I didn't expect Director Qu to have such a deep study of antique calligraphy and painting!" What an eye-opener for me today! ”
"It's not any kind of research, it's just watching others play this, and I will learn a little bit along with it, it's all fur, fur ......," Director Qu said, tapping lightly on the table with his hand.
"Speaking of this antique calligraphy and painting, I do know that there is a store with a lot of good things in it." Mr. Cui said.
"Oh? What's the name of that store? Director Qu asked.
"Hehe, the place of that store is too remote, Director Qu, you definitely don't know." Mr. Cui said with a smile.
"Impossible, there are no antiques and paintings sold in this capital, and there is nothing I don't know." Director Qu said confidently.
"Director Qu, I didn't mean to lie to you, the location of the store is too remote, at the mouth of a small alley, not many people know. The shopkeeper is also an old man, and I heard that the ancestor is still Baylor of the former Qing Dynasty! Mr. Cui lowered his voice and continued: "Why don't you see, when you are free, I will take you to recognize the way." ”
"Know your way?" Director Qu's eyes narrowed and he hesitated slightly.
Today's dinner was made up by an acquaintance of Director Qu, and he was not easy to refuse, and the Mr. Cui in front of him, Director Qu saw it for the first time, and from Mr. Cui's performance at the dinner, Director Qu also saw that this Cui always came to make friends with himself.
In the capital, the relationship is important, of course, Director Qu also understands this truth, and this Mr. Cui is also from a very large group, is a leading enterprise in the domestic milk powder industry, this kind of person knows no harm in knowing more, so Director Qu naturally accepted Mr. Cui's friendship.
