China’s Gen Z investors are turning fund managers into social media stars

On a fan community page on Chinese social media platform Weibo, hundreds of users have posted comments and pictures, some covered in little red hearts, to express their admiration for a star they affectionately call Kun Kun. “Kun Kun flies bravely, iKun will always follow him; Kun Kun never gets old, and will remain a blue-chip till the end,” some users wrote alongside the picture. “Kun Kun,” whose full name is Zhang Kun, is neither a pop star nor actor. Instead, he is one of China’s most prominent fund managers who oversees around 120 billion yuan ($18.6 billion) in assets at E Fund Management, an established Chinese asset management firm. Zhang’s followers, who label themselves “iKun,” (“i” is a homophone for the Chinese word love), have also created accounts on Weibo posing as his “global fan clubs.” “Kun Kun, I would like to accompany you for many, many years,” a follower wrote. “Let’s witness both the bull and bear markets, but still return with young hearts.” ...

Realme trademarks ‘SuperDart’ fast charging tech, to rival Xiaomi’s ‘SuperCharge Turbo’


Smartphone companies are aggressively working on more powerful and faster chargers for mobile devices. The latest to join the race is Realme. According to a new leak, Realme has acquired trademark for a “Realme SuperDart” charging technology.

While there’s no word on the capacity of Realme’s charging tech, reports suggest it could rival Xiaomi’s “100W “Super Charge Turbo” technology. Xiaomi showcased the 100W charger at a Developer Conference in China last month. In its demo video, Xiaomi’s 100W charger managed to charge a 4,000mAh battery from 0% to 100% in just 17 minutes. In comparison, Oppo’s 50W SuperVOOC charger achieved 65% charge in the same amount of time.

Xiaomi’s 100W charger, however, hasn’t launched commercially yet. Currently, Oppo leads the fast charging race with ‘Super Vooc Flash Charge’ technology. Oppo in October this year introduced Reno Ace with 65W adapter which is claimed to deliver 0% to 27% charge in about five minutes.

Vivo, in the meanwhile, is looking to break the 100W barrier with its “Super FlashCharge.” The company earlier this year showcased a 120W Super FlashCharge technology that charges a 4,000mAh battery in just 13 minutes.
