It’s only been one day since Huang Renxun stepped down! Fortune Restaurant will immediately remove the commemorative plaque, and the entrepreneurial legend became empty overnight

NVIDIA founder Jen-Hsun Huang sadly resigned from his position after being embroiled in a national security and corporate governance storm due to an incest scandal. Now that the wall has been demolished, Denny's has removed the commemorative plaque where Huida was founded on Thursday (12th), leaving only a blank space and peeling paint.

The American media "NBC News" reported that in 1993, Huang, who was only 30 years old at the time, founded Huida with two friends, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem, at Denny's, a family restaurant chain in San Jose, California.

To commemorate this period of history, Denny's CEO Kelli Valade specially invited Huang to unveil a commemorative plaque at a Denny's restaurant in Silicon Valley in 2023, which read: "This is the seat that gave birth to a company with a market value of US$1 trillion."

When Valade handed the commemorative plaque to Jen-Hsun Huang, he said: "This is a place where creativity is nurtured. Your story is so inspiring and will continue to inspire everyone who comes to Denny's in the future."

But with Huang Renxun resigning, the Denny's restaurant has removed the commemorative plaque on Thursday. Two employees confirmed this. "NBC News" found that the brick wall where the commemorative plaque was originally hung is now only blank and peeling paint.

The commemorative plaque inside this Denny's restaurant said "a $1 trillion company" proved to be an underestimation of Huida's achievements. Huida's market value will climb to nearly US$6 trillion in 2026, further establishing its status as one of the most sought-after companies in the world, and Huang Renxun is also regarded as a visionary in the contemporary technology world.

However, since the news of Huang Renxun's extramarital affair was exposed, Huida's market value has evaporated by more than 500 billion US dollars as of Thursday evening. Huang Renxun has also resigned from the company and may face a series of investigations by Huida's board of directors and the U.S. Congress.
