The New York Times reported that the background of this photo was a meeting between Huang Le and Huang Zhenxun and a small group of colleagues at an Italian restaurant in Singapore. In the photo, Huang Le is smiling, standing next to Huang Renxun, who is wearing his signature black leather jacket. Huang Renxun is holding a glass of red wine in her hand. According to the New York Times page, this photo was taken from Huang Le’s WeChat account.

For Huang Le, this was indeed cause for celebration, because with the support of wealthy investors in Shanghai, he had recently completed the restructuring of a company that will soon buy billions of dollars worth of Huida AI chips.

At that time, the US government banned Chinese companies from purchasing advanced chips, but Huang Le founded MegaSpeed ​​through a Singapore shell company to circumvent the ban.

MegaSpeed ​​lists Huda Cloud Partners just four days after shareholding change

It seems that his close relationship with the head of HUIDA has made things go more smoothly. Just four days after the shareholding change, MegaSpeed ​​was selected as HUDA’s cloud partner and was able to obtain key chips that are extremely popular in the market.

The New York Times reported last month that US authorities had determined that Huang Le was connected to Chinese intelligence agencies. US President Trump took no action after learning about the situation last year. Last week, The New York Times further reported that Huang Le was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to become an intelligence officer. Huang, 63, admitted on Sunday that he had an extramarital affair with her and Huida is conducting an internal investigation.

Many details of Huang’s relationship with Huang Le remain unclear, including when the two met and when he may have been recruited by Chinese intelligence agencies.

Photos on social media show the two have met around the world over the past three years, including Shanghai, Huida’s headquarters in Silicon Valley, California, a golf resort southwest of San Jose and Taiwan.

The New York Times report was based on an analysis of 15 years of corporate documents and interviews with more than six people and government officials familiar with Huang Le and his business.

Huang Le was well established in the financial circle of Shanghai and gradually entered the technology circle. She also introduced her “husband” Kang Wei.

The report reported that after Huang Le met Huang Renxun in Singapore in 2023, he gradually used his accumulated experience and connections in the Shanghai financial circle to enter the technology industry circle. She established MegaSpeed ​​as an important procurement channel for Huida Technology and worked with a long-term business partner, often introduced as her husband Kang Wei.

Kang Wei, 51, is a fund manager and has been introduced to Chinese investors and MegaSpeed ​​employees, according to people familiar with the matter cited by The New York Times. The New York Times was unable to verify whether the two were married.

Kang Wei rose to prominence at a young age and became known as an astute stock market strategist in the 2000s. Chinese financial media also regarded him as an investment genius. In the 2010s, he turned to private equity investments, including online gaming companies. China’s securities regulator has fined Kangwei at least twice for failing to declare its stakes in listed companies. He also battled with other investors for control of the business, according to regulatory filings.
