作者:马克斯·A·切尔尼和杰弗里·达斯廷 旧金山,11月13日 - 据两名知情人士以及路透社审阅的内部信件显示,前英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋曾向公司多位高管,包括总法律顾问蒂姆·特特和首席营销官艾莉森·沃贡费尔,误导其与中国女商人黄爱丽丝关系的性质,他与黄爱丽丝有过一段婚外情。
By Max A. Cherney and Jeffrey Dastin SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 13 - Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang misled several of the company's leaders, including general counsel Tim Teter and chief marketing officer Alison Wagonfeld, about the nature of his relationship with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, with whom he had an affair, according to two people familiar with the matter and internal correspondence reviewed by Reuters.
路透社审阅了10月份的多条通信记录,条件是不逐字引用这些信息。路透社是首家报道这份通信的新闻机构。
Reuters reviewed several exchanges from October on condition of not quoting verbatim from the messages. The news agency is the first to report on this correspondence.
周四,黄仁勋辞去英伟达首席执行官一职,这是他在芯片行业巅峰时期的一次惊人坠落,他曾是近期人工智能热潮中核心技术的先驱。
On Thursday, Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO, a spectacular fall from the chip industry's heights where he was a pioneer of technology central to the recent boom in artificial intelligence.
他在周日发表的一份声明中道歉,承认对妻子不忠,并对公司失望表示遗憾。他的声明并未具体点名黄爱丽丝,她是英伟达客户美加速国际公司的前高管,美国正在调查其可能为中国从事间谍活动。黄仁勋和黄爱丽丝同姓,但并无亲属关系。
He apologized in a statement on Sunday for being unfaithful to his wife and for disappointing the company. His statement did not specifically name Alice Huang, a former top executive of Nvidia customer Megaspeed International, whom the US was investigating for potentially spying for China. Jensen Huang and Alice Huang share a last name but are not related.
《纽约时报》本周早些时候报道称,黄仁勋还与一名英伟达员工存在婚外情,路透社周四报道称,黄仁勋与另一名英伟达员工也有过一段亲密关系。
The New York Times earlier this week reported Huang also had an extramarital relationship with an Nvidia employee, and Reuters reported on Thursday that Huang had another intimate relationship with a different Nvidia employee.
特特未回应置评请求。沃贡费尔未立即回应置评请求。前首席执行官黄仁勋的代表以及英伟达的一名发言人均拒绝置评。拨打黄爱丽丝名片上列出的联系电话并发送电子邮件均未得到回应。
Teter did not respond to a request for comment. Wagonfeld did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A representative for ex-CEO Huang and an Nvidia spokesperson declined to comment. A phone call and email to contact information listed on a business card for Alice Huang went unanswered.
知情人士表示,在2025年秋季和2026年10月,针对引起部分英伟达领导人注意其与美加速(Megaspeed)及艾丽丝·黄(Alice Huang)关系的媒体询问,黄在两次场合都将他们的互动描述为得当。知情人士要求匿名。路透社仅审阅了10月份的交流信息,未审阅2025年的信息。
During the autumn of 2025 and in October 2026, in response to press queries that drew some Nvidia leaders' attention to his relationship with Megaspeed and Alice Huang, Huang at both times described their interactions as appropriate, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Reuters only reviewed messages from the exchanges in October, not the ones from 2025.
在10月份的两条独立信息中,黄告诉包括特特(Teter)和沃贡费尔德(Wagonfeld)在内的英伟达领导人,这些互动反映了与客户的常规业务往来。在其他信息中,黄确认他与美加速的互动属于例行性质。
In two separate messages in October, Huang told Nvidia leaders, including Teter and Wagonfeld, that the interactions reflected standard business dealings with customers. In other messages, Huang affirmed the routine nature of his interactions with Megaspeed.
知情人士表示,英伟达的黄还讨论过对《纽约时报》采取法律行动,原因是该报去年10月发表了一篇文章,引起了人们对他与艾丽丝·黄公开会面的关注。
Nvidia's Huang also discussed taking legal action against the New York Times after it published an article in October of last year that drew attention to his meetings in public with Alice Huang, the people said.
知情人士表示,该文章促使黄仁勋在2025年就他们的互动与部分英伟达领导人沟通,他并未将其描述为一段婚外情。最终,英伟达和黄均未对该报提起诉讼。《纽约时报》的一位发言人表示,该报未收到任何法律要求。
That article had prompted Jensen Huang to communicate with some Nvidia leaders in 2025 about their interactions, which he did not describe as an affair, the people said. Ultimately, neither Nvidia nor Huang filed a lawsuit against the paper. A spokesperson for the New York Times said the paper received no legal demand.
目前尚不清楚他与艾丽丝·黄的关系何时变得亲密。路透社核实的网上照片显示,他们曾在美国、中国及其他地方一同出现,时间可追溯至2023年12月。
It is unclear when his relationship with Alice Huang became intimate. Photos posted online and verified by Reuters show them together in the US, China and elsewhere, dating as far back as December 2023.
11月10日,英伟达董事会的独立成员表示,他们聘请了华尔街律师事务所瓦克特尔、利普顿、罗森与卡茨(Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz)进行独立调查,此前《纽约时报》和《华尔街日报》报道了黄与艾丽丝·黄的关系,以及美国当局怀疑她为中国从事间谍活动。北京否认她是间谍。路透社未能独立核实艾丽丝·黄是否代表中国政府工作。
On November 10, the independent members of Nvidia's board said they hired Wall Street law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct an independent investigation after the New York Times and Wall Street Journal reported on Huang's relations with Alice Huang, as well as US authorities' suspicions that she was spying for China. Beijing has denied she is a spy. Reuters has not independently verified whether Alice Huang was working on behalf of the Chinese government.
黄仁勋在10月29日发表于彭博社的一篇采访中说,美国政府未曾告知他有关对艾丽丝·黄的怀疑。
Jensen Huang said in an interview with Bloomberg published on October 29 that the US government had not informed him about its suspicions regarding Alice Huang.
自10月6日收盘高点以来,英伟达股价已下跌超过30%,市值蒸发超过1.8万亿美元。
Nvidia's stock has fallen more than 30% since its October 6 closing high, erasing more than $1.8 trillion from its market capitalization.
