Liang Jianzhang

Liang Jianzhang is one of the Ctrip / Trip.com Group founders in 困在系统里的酒店，你不知道的携程垄断练成史. The source presents him as the technical and analytic member of the founding mix, with a background spanning the Fudan juvenile class, Georgia Tech, Oracle, and later economic and demographic research.

The episode uses Liang’s return to the CEO role as a turning point after Qunar and Elong became more threatening. His push into mobile apps, direct supplier links, e-booking, and stronger hotel agreements is framed as an operational recovery that also strengthened the platform levers later criticized under Hotel Platform Pricing Power.
