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.” ...

OPPO is reportedly working a budget-friendly smartphone called OPPO A31 that has a model number of CPH2015. Earlier in December, the CPH2015 OPPO phone was spotted as the database of Singapore’s IMDA and an Indonesian certification platform. IMDA revealed that the CPH2015 phone will be arriving in Singapore as OPPO A31. At the end of December, the CPH2015 bagged certification from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. The FCC listing has revealed the images of the pre-production unit of the OPPO A31. Moreover, it has also revealed the key specs of the phone.

The left side of the device is flanked with volume buttons and the power button is available on the right edge. The bottom side of the phone has a 3.5mm audio jack, a microUSB 2.0 port and an external speaker.

Some schematics found in the FCC documents reveal that the OPPO A31 has a vertically arranged triple camera system on its back. A fingerprint sensor is also available on the rear shell of the device.

OPPO A31 Key Specifications

The OPPO A31 smartphone has 164 x 75.5mm dimensions. The diagonal measurement of the phone is 173mm which suggests that it may feature a display of around 6.5 inches. The smartphone is loaded with ColorOS 6.1.2 UI. It is not known whether the phone will ship with Android 10 or Android 9 Pie OS. The device is backed by a 4,100mAh battery that can be fueled by a 5V/2A charger. Other details of the phone are currently under the wraps.

There is no word on the launch date of the OPPO A31 smartphone. Probably, it could be one of the first OPPO phones to break cover this year.

In related news, as mentioned in the first para, the CPH2015 was also certified by an Indonesian certification body. The listing revealed that CPH2015 has OPPO Reno S moniker. It could be an error since the Reno S has been speculated to arrive as a high-end phone powered by Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform and it is also rumored to be equipped with 64-megapixel quad rear cameras and 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 Flash Charge technology.
