Why It Matters
The U.S. government suspected that Megaspeed was smuggling Huida's high-end AI chips to China and launched an investigation into Huang Le, thereby exposing her relationship with Huang Renxun.
Recalling that Huang Renxun (2nd from right) and Huang Le (2nd from left) were in the same frame for the first time, they were Li Yitai (1st from right) and Ye Peicheng (1st from left).
Huida CEO Jen-Hsun Huang admitted to having an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese female spy, triggering heated discussions in the international public opinion. Looking back at the first time that the two of them were together in public, Huang Le showed off that Huang Jen-Hsun was "available whenever called". Unexpectedly, he actually showed up. At that time, the founder and general manager of GIGABYTE (2376), a well-known large-scale technology and computer hardware manufacturer in Taiwan, were also present.
Huang Le, who once worked as a reporter for China's state-run media "CCTV", later became a senior director of Singapore data center company Megaspeed and became connected with Huang Renxun. Megaspeed is one of Huida's largest customers in Southeast Asia. The U.S. government suspected that Megaspeed was "smuggling" Huida's high-end AI chips to China. It launched an investigation into Huang Le more than a year ago, and then discovered her relationship with Huang Renxun.
After Huang Renxun admitted his cheating, many foreign media immediately pieced together the core timeline, sparking heated discussions. Back when the two of them were together for the first time in public, during the Taipei International Computer Show (COMPUTEX) in June 2024, Huang Le went to the sky bar "Opéra" on the 15th floor of Taipei Ruxi Hotel to attend a private private party. Schmidt (Parker), CEO of the American software company NetThunder Schmitt) revealed that Huang Le made a bet with everyone at the party, saying, "I can call Jen-Hsun Huang over." Soon after, Jen-Hsun Huang actually showed up at the party and sat side by side with Huang Le.
Looking at NetThunder's LinkedIn page, in the same photo of Huang Renxun and Huang Le, we can also see two big names standing next to them, namely Gigabyte founder Ye Peicheng and general manager Li Yitai. According to the "New York Times" report, the party at that time was hosted by Gigabyte. Although Huang Le seemed to be showing off that Huang Renxun could "come on call" at the time, Huang Renxun's attendance had nothing to do with her. An insider revealed that Huang Renxun originally planned to bring two Huida senior executives to the party.
Open Questions
- Is Huang Le involved in actual espionage activities?
- Will the business cooperation between Huida and Megaspeed be affected by this incident?
