The most prominent position in the newspaper is Zhang Guan's photo on the podium, with a striking title, "Zhang Guan won the sixth gold! He became the first athlete who won the most gold medals in a single Asian Games.
"In the Asian men's 800-meter middle-distance final of the Asian Games that just ended yesterday, Chinese athlete Zhang Guan won the championship with 1 minute and 42 seconds and 80. This result is also a new Asian record. This is Zhang Guan's performance in the Asian Games. The sixth gold medal won at the competition! Zhang Guan also became the only athlete who won the most gold medals in the Asian Games. Before this, only three athletes had won five gold medals in the Asian Games in 1990, Shen Jianqiang won, Mo Huilan in the 1994 Asian Games, and Xu Yanwei in the 2002 Asian Games. The sixth gold medal Zhang Guan won yesterday also made him successfully overtake the three athletes and become the Asian Games "Golden King"."
"And 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 at the current Asian Games!"
"Zhang Guan's achievements at the Asian Games remind us of the American swimming star Michael Phelps, who won six gold medals at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Can Zhang Guan win the next Olympics? What about Phelps?"
"Let's take a closer look. Of the six gold medals, Phelps won, only four gold medals were personal projects, and Zhang Guan's current six gold medals are all obtained by personal projects. Guan is superior in personal ability..."
President Cui put down the newspaper in his hands and said to the several subordinates in front of him with dissatisfaction, "Did your propaganda department do it? I have long proposed to sign Zhang Guan as our spokesperson. Why has it been taking so long? Why is it completely quiet? This time is good, Zhang Guan has already won six gold medals, and it is possible to win the seventh gold medal today. Do you know how important an opportunity our group missed?"
"Mr. Cui we have already negotiated with Zhang Guan's agent, but their asking price is too high, our limit is 15 million a year!" A short man with a mustache started to defend, he is Manager Liu of the propaganda department.
Mr. Liu went on to say, "This price has been the sum of our publicity budget for several years. If it comes at this price, the chairman will certainly not be able to pass it."
"The so-called over-the-counter price is to pay back the money on the spot, and people need 15 million. You give 15 million! You have to bargain! And those of our group in Beijing, only have much budget every year. If dredging the relationship, will the money be spent in vain? At this time, let them go to find a relationship!" Cui said dissatisfied.
Manager Liu said in an aggrieved manner, "We found our group in Beijing and contacted the field management center, but Zhang Guan has his team of brokers and does listen to the management of the field management center, so for Zhang Guan's endorsement price, it not the field management center responsibility."
Mr. Cui took a deep breath and frowned and asked, "15 million is indeed too expensive. You have to find a way from other places. Who is the director of the field management center now?"
"It is Director Luo now, but I heard that Director Luo will be transferred after the Asian Games, another director Qu will take over and become the new director of the field management center." Manager Liu said immediately.
"Director Qu?" Mr. Cui nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself, "It seems that I have to run by myself."

On December 12, the final day of the Doha Asian Games track and field event.
In the first men's 110-meter hurdles competition, Liu Feiren won the championship without suspense. An hour later, the 4x100m race officially started.
In the first women's 4-by-100-meter match, the Chinese team reversed the third stroke and finally won the gold medal. After a short five-minute break, the men's 4-by-100-meter athlete also stood on the runway.
Judging from the preliminaries, the performance of Western Asian countries is not good. Countries such as Saudi Arabia put the focus of the competition on the final 4 by 400 meters project, so they did not pay attention to 4 by 100 meters. The Japanese team is still the most powerful opponent of the national team. The four-member combination of Shenwu, Asahara Xuanzhi, Shinji Koping, and Naoki Tsukahara is enough to sweep entire Asia, of course, that only if Zhang Guan does not participate in the game.
It is worth mentioning that the Thai team seems to have sprung up. Their results in the preliminary match are very good, especially in the match of passing. It is very pure and it took a lot of time to train.
At the beginning of the game, Thailand and Japan took the lead in the first shot, while the black athlete of Qatar was in third place, and the national team athlete was only temporarily ranked fourth.
The first runner of the national team is Wen Yongyi. He is the worst of the four athletes. It is not surprising that he is in fourth place.
The second-best athlete in the national team was the glasses-man Hu Kai. If Zhang Guan was not there, he would be running fourth. So his speed is generally faster than other second-batch athletes. He can recover a bit more lost time.
In the second and third rounds, the Japanese team and the Thai team are clearly in the lead. The Japanese team is better at speed, but the Thai team is more skillful. While the Chinese team is in the third position, it is still possible to catch up with the Japanese team and the Thai team that was ahead. The remaining athletes have been somewhat thrown away by the leading group.
The third team of the Chinese team is Yang Yao. His strength is comparable to that of Japan's third team Gao Pingshi. In the 200-meter final a few days ago, he also defeated Gao Pingshi and won the Asian Games bronze medal. So Yang Yao once again narrowed the gap between Japan and Thailand. At this time, the situation has become a hegemony in the three countries. It can be expected that the medals will inevitably fall on these three countries, but who will win the final championship is still a mystery.
Finally arrived at the fourth stick, unexpectedly, the first team to complete the fourth stick turned out to be the Thai team.
The Thai team's fourth-athlete Songdi quickly accelerated to the extreme. Although his extreme speed is not particularly fast, his acceleration time is extremely short, it didn't take long to start running, and the speed has been increased.
The second athlete to take the baton was the Japanese athlete Shenwu, the Asian active athlete who is second only to Zhang Guan and he is desperately chasing the Thai team's Songdi.
The third natural athlete to take the baton is Zhang Guan. After seeing the successful completion of the baton between Yang Yao and Zhang Guan, Director Ma and Yu both relieved at the same time. Although the Chinese team is now in a backward position, as long as the baton is successfully handed over to Zhang Guan, without any mistakes, the championship is already in hand.
Although Songdi in the leading position is the fastest runner in the Thai team, his real strength is somewhat lacking to even enter the Olympic B standard. The Thai team can take the lead, thanks to their more skilled cooperation.
In the relay race, a perfect match can save a lot of time, but some strong country athletes are already superior in strength, and they need to prepare for personal events. Therefore, there will be much less practice time in relay matches. On the other hand, the Thai team has a different approach. Their athletes are not strong enough to get medals, so they spend a lot of training time on relay cooperation, and they have achieved amazing results.
Only after finishing the fourth round, the process of cooperation has ended. At this time, the strength of the fourth round athlete is still compared.
The fourth runner of the relay race will run the last 100-meter run, so the faster runner will be more advantageous. Shenwu has an advantage over Songdi, and Zhang Guan has an advantage over Shenwu.
Shenwu was chasing Songdi, and Zhang Guan was chasing Shenwu. At the end of the period when Shenwu had not yet caught up with Songdi, Zhang Guan had already surpassed Shenwu, and then quickly surpassed Songdi, almost crossing the finish line with a huge lead between them.
In the end, Shenwu and Songdi crossed the line almost simultaneously, and it was necessary to replay through the slow-motion to determine who was the leader between the two. In the end, the results of the two teams were the same. After comparing the thousandths of a second, the Thai team finally luckily defeated the Japanese team and won the runner-up.
After the game ended, 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, the stratagem was staggered.
Mr. Cui personally added wine to Director Qu cup, and said, "I can't think that Director Qu has such deep research on antique calligraphy and painting! Today it opened my eyes!"
"It's not a matter of research, just watching other people play this, and then I learned a little bit, it's all for fun..." Director Qu said, tapping the desktop gently with his hand.
"Speaking of this antique calligraphy and painting, I know there is a store with a lot of good things in it." Mr. Cui said.
"Oh? What's the name of that shop?" Director Qu asked.
"Oh, that store is too biased, you certainly don't know Director Qu." Mr. Cui said with a smile.
"It's impossible. There is nothing in this capital that sells antique calligraphy and painting that I wouldn't know." Director Qu said confidently.
"Director Qu, I didn't deliberately lie to you. The location of the shop is too biased. In a small alley, there are not many people who know it. A shopkeeper is also an old man. I heard that Zu Shang is still Belle of Qianqing!" He lowered his voice, and then said, "Why don't you see for yourself, when you are free, I will show you the way."
"Recognize the way?" Director Qu narrowed his eyes and hesitated a little.
Today, this dinner was an appointment with Director Qu's acquaintance, and he had to show some face for him. And Mr. Cui and Director Qu were meeting for the first time. From the performance of Director Cui, Director Qu also saw that this Cui is always making friends.
In the capital city, the relationship is certainly important. Director Qu certainly understands this truth, and Mr. Cui is also from a very large group and is a leading company in the domestic milk powder industry. It is no harm to know more people like this, so Director Qu will naturally accept President Cui's friendship.
