Brief introduction of Zhang Ligang.

Zhang Ligang, the former founder of E-Dragon and now chairman and CEO of Aikang Kangkang Technology Co., said: "Health management has just started, and I want to fight for Aikang for life."

From 1998, I gave up my upcoming Harvard medical doctorate, followed Zhang Chaoyang, left Sohu to establish E-Dragon, and gave up E-Dragon after many twists and turns. Zhang Ligang's identity has been changing.

In 2002, several professors from Harvard Medical School expressed their willingness to invest in China to Zhang Ligang. This made him pay attention to the domestic pharmaceutical industry and bought a biopharmaceutical company in Shanghai. However, Zhang Ligang, who is used to making quick money in the Internet industry, is not satisfied with this job. After observation, he chose the health management industry. In 2004, Aikang.com officially launched.

34-year-old Zhang Ligang studied at Fudan University, Columbia University and Harvard University, successively served as president and publisher of Harvard China Review, product director of Sohu, CEO of eDragon, and chairman of Shanghai Medical Life Science Research Center Co., Ltd., and now he has established Aikang.com, the first service organization in China to provide 360-degree health management.

Growing up in an ordinary family in Jiangyin County, Jiangsu Province, he dreamed of flying high from an early age. 199 1 year was admitted to the biology department of Fudan university. As soon as I entered school, I began to study English crazily and take the TOEFL. Originally, he expected to get a degree and then go to a famous American university for further study step by step, but at that time, a new policy was introduced, and college graduates had to work in China for five years before they could study abroad. "I can't afford these five years", so in his junior year, he dropped out of Fudan and went to study in the United States.

While Zhang Ligang was washing dishes in the school cafeteria in Minnesota to earn living expenses and tuition, he was also thinking about his future. "Going to Harvard for graduate study" has always wanted to be the first. He wants to go to the best university in America. So, when a university offered him a full scholarship, which meant that he could concentrate on his studies instead of washing dishes, he resolutely gave up because he "only went to Harvard". During the waiting period, he applied to Harvard twice and was rejected twice.

After waiting for three years, he applied to Harvard for the third time and finally entered his dream Harvard graduate school to study biomedicine. But what he saw and felt at Harvard changed his desire to be a scientist since he was a child. He found that the media can also have a great impact on society, and business can also give back to society. It seems that he is more suitable for social activities.

Therefore, during the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, he organized China students from Harvard, Stanford and University of California, Berkeley to raise funds to buy full-page advertisements of The New York Times and Washington post, which strongly refuted NBC's suggestion that China athletes took banned drugs and caused great repercussions. Before Hong Kong's return to China, he and his friends founded Harvard China Review, which made the mainstream American society know and understand China through the pen of experts and high-level people from China and the United States.

At this time, Zhang Chaoyang sent him an invitation to return to China to be Sohu. So, from 65438 to 0998, Zhang Ligang gave up studying for a doctorate in medicine at Harvard and went back to China to fight for Sohu.com with Zhang Chaoyang.

In his first year in Sohu, he was the fastest-growing employee, from content manager to product director, until he learned that Zhang Chaoyang was going to propose to promote him to vice president at the board meeting. However, "I don't want to be a hero's foil, I want to own my own company." 1999, Zhang Ligang gave up the vice president of Sohu, and he left without hesitation.

Zhang Ligang personally founded eLong and devoted himself to it, making it the second child of domestic travel websites. However, E-Dragon's business, complicated interpersonal relationships and the supporting role of the Internet world all make him feel that this should not be the place where he stays for a long time. He should find a more suitable world between the Internet and medical services.

In 2003, Zhang Ligang gave up his position as CEO of e-Dragon and joined Ai Kang. In 2004, Mr. Zhang Ligang founded the Aikang.com and established a platform to combine IT information technology with traditional medical care. Ai Kang, 2007. Com merged with Shanghai Guo Binjian to form Aikang Health Management Group, providing customers with all-round health management services such as physical examination, medical arrangement and private doctor. Aikang's unique positioning makes it highly sought after in the capital market. Well-known strategic investors such as Merrill Lynch, Business China Economic Cooperation, Shanghai Venture Capital, ePlanet, Walden International, Zero2IPO Group, etc. are optimistic, and invested $25 million in Aikang in 2007. Therefore, in 2008, Aikang expanded its physical examination and medical service centers to nearly 20, and established a more perfect customer service platform to seamlessly connect with the customer service of hundreds of cooperative medical institutions.

Now, relying on its health care service center, IT technology platform and strong customer service system, Aikang can provide individuals and groups with all-round personalized services such as physical examination, medical treatment, family doctor, chronic disease management and health insurance, help them get rid of sub-health, prevent chronic diseases, solve the difficulty of seeking medical treatment, and make contributions to fundamentally improving the overall health level and quality of life of modern China people. At the same time, Aikang provides third-party health management services and customer relationship management solutions for insurance companies and medical institutions.
