Why It Matters
The article quoted a report from the New York Times, stating that the relationship between Huang Renxun and Huang Le began at a gathering in Singapore in December 2023, earlier than the previously public technology industry party in June 2024. Huang Le completed the company's equity restructuring with the support of Shanghai investors, and the company subsequently purchased billions of dollars in Huida artificial intelligence chips. The U.S. government has banned Chinese companies from purchasing such advanced chips. Huang Le established Megaspeed through a shell company in Singapore to circumvent the ban and was designated as a Huida cloud partner just 4 days after the equity change.
[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] The New York Times broke the news again on the 10th that Huang Renxun and his extramarital affair partner Huang Le met in December 2023, indicating that the relationship between the two began earlier than June 2024 as previously known to the outside world.
It is currently known that the earliest intersection between Huang Le and Huang Renxun can be traced back to a technology industry party in June 2024. At that time, Huang Le boasted in front of a group of technology industry executives and even made a public bet: "I can find Huang Renxun."
However, the New York Times reported that the contact between Huang Le and Huang Renxun may have begun as early as December 2023. At that time, Huang Renxun and Huida employees had a dinner at an Italian restaurant in Singapore. Huang Le was also present and took a group photo.
The New York Times obtained and confirmed a previously unpublished photo of the meeting. In the photo, Huang Le is smiling and taking a photo next to Huang Renxun, who is wearing his signature black leather jacket. Huang Renxun is also holding a glass of red wine in his hand.
The report pointed out that the gathering in Singapore showed that the relationship between Huang Le and Huang Jen-Hsun "goes back further than previously known."
Since then, the two have met in Shanghai, Huida's Silicon Valley headquarters, San Jose golf course and Taiwan. Among them, during the Computex Taipei in 2024, the two were in the same frame at a technology industry gathering in Taipei; during Huang Renxun's visit to Taiwan in May 2025, Huang Le was also photographed attending a meal with him.
The New York Times pointed out that for Huang Le, there was indeed something worth celebrating at the intersection in 2023. With the support of wealthy investors in Shanghai, she has just completed the equity restructuring of a company that will soon purchase Huida artificial intelligence chips worth billions of dollars. At that time, the U.S. government had banned Chinese companies from purchasing such advanced chips, but Huang Le established Megaspeed through a shell company in Singapore to circumvent the ban.
Her close relationship with the leaders of Huida seems to have made the relevant layout smoother. Just four days after the shareholding change, Megaspeed was designated as Huida's cloud partner, allowing it to obtain key chips that are highly sought after in the market.
However, the report also pointed out that many details of the relationship between Huang Renxun and Huang Le are still unclear, including when the two met and when she may have been recruited by Chinese intelligence agencies.
