Why It Matters

The article quoted a report from Bloomberg, stating that Aperia Cloud Services, a Singaporean company that is Huida’s cloud partner, purchased 22 servers equipped with Huida H800 chips from Dell. These servers later flowed into Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing and were provided to the Chinese government as financing collateral. Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing also owns 52 Supermicro computer servers equipped with Huida H100 and H200 chips. Huang Le has no longer participated in the company's operations since 2017, and his sister Huang Yu is still the major shareholder.

[Real-time News/Comprehensive Report] Huang Renxun, CEO of NVIDIA, had an extramarital affair with Huang Le, a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. "Bloomberg" traced that "Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Data Group Co., Ltd." founded by Huang Le 10 years ago had obtained a variety of NVIDIA chips that were banned from export to China.

According to a report by Bloomberg, Aperia Cloud Services, a Singaporean company that is a cloud partner of Huida, purchased 22 servers equipped with Huida H800 chips from Dell. The chips were not allowed to be used. Dell subsequently found the situation suspicious and terminated its business cooperation with Aperia.

"Bloomberg" discovered from the documents of Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing Company that these servers somehow flowed into the hands of the company and were provided to the Chinese government as "financing collateral." In addition, Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing also has 52 Supermicro servers equipped with Huida H100 and 200 chips. These chips are not allowed to be used without permission from the U.S. government.

Although Huang Le has no longer participated in the operation of Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing since 2017, and there is no clear record that she was involved in chip procurement, it is rumored that her sister Huang Yu (transliteration) is still the major shareholder of Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing.

These Huida chips were later installed in the Yangtze River Delta Project, an AI facility in Shanghai, China. Kang Wei, the person in charge of the facility, is suspected to be Huang Le's husband. It is said that Huang Le and Huang Renxun were introduced to each other by Kang Wei.

In addition, Megaspeed, the Singaporean company where Huang Le currently works, showed investors the renderings of the "Yangtze River Delta Project" in 2024 and claimed that this was the company's largest AI facility.
