[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] Huang Renxun, CEO of Huida, admitted to having an extramarital affair. His partner, Huang Le, was suspected of engaging in espionage activities for China, and related scandals continued to spread. Foreign media revealed again that when the relationship between Huang Le and Huang Renxun was attracting attention, her "husband" Kang Wei was also exposed. She had known Huang Renxun as early as the 2010s. At that time, Huida was still mainly engaged in the PC game graphics card business, and Kang Wei was a private equity investor focusing on investing in video game companies.
Technology media "Tomshardware" quoted "The Information" as reporting that a source revealed that Kang Wei and Huang Renxun had an intersection in their early years, which can be traced back to the 2010s. At that time, Huida had not yet become the technology giant that dominates the AI chip market today, and its main business was still concentrated in the field of PC game graphics cards; Kangwei was engaged in private equity investment, and its investment focus included video game-related companies.
The report pointed out that this experience is worthy of attention because before the rise of generative AI, the gaming industry has always been an important market for Huida GPUs. Kangwei may have already entered the business circles related to Huida through game company acquisitions and investment activities.
"Indiatimes" revealed that Kang Wei is an investor born in the 1970s. He was at the helm of China Overseas Fund Management Company when he was young, and founded Shanghai Hexi Investment Management Company around 2010. Huang Leze joined the company in 2015 and became a core shareholder and senior executive.
The report cited multiple Chinese news reports, including Caixin and other media reports, stating that Kang Wei and Huang Le are husband and wife. They jointly manage private equity funds and have participated in investment cases related to video game companies and data centers.
However, insiders revealed that the status of their relationship in recent years has not been clear, and Western media have not independently verified and confirmed their marriage. Nonetheless, business registration information and early Chinese media reports still show that the two were connected through Hexi Investment and related companies.
The Financial Times pointed out that in early 2025, Huang Le and Kang Wei jointly promoted a Southeast Asian data center project to Chinese investors. The two allegedly told investors at the time that there was "no problem at all" in obtaining GPUs, and claimed that Alibaba was a customer of the project.
As for when Huang Le and Huang Renxun began to know each other, the report did not clearly indicate. However, according to information, Huang Le served as a director of the data company "MegaSpeed International Pte Ltd" in March 2023. She often showed her relationship with Huida's senior executives to customers by taking photos with Huang Renxun and showing their friendship on WeChat to enhance business credibility.
The report quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Huang Le had told the outside world that Huang Renxun often had dinner with her and gave her gifts on her birthday; a Huida China business employee also revealed that Huang Le was a familiar face at Huida's annual local partner activities.
In addition, when AI chip shipments are delayed or there are problems in the supply chain, Huang Le will reportedly use his close relationship with Huida and suppliers to help speed up the process. Her relationship with Jen-Hsun Huang has therefore become an important focus for outsiders to examine related chip transactions.
However, current reports do not prove that Huang was aware of or participated in any violations of U.S. export controls. Huida stated that the company requires dealers and partners to comply with U.S. export restrictions, and said that through due diligence, it discovered suspected circumvention of controls, and related cases have led to federal lawsuits.
