作为一名科学家,王安在磁脉冲控制和磁心存储方面研究为现代计算机发展作出了杰出的贡献。作为一名商人,他于1951年创立的王安公司一度成为信息时代破晓时分知名度很高的公司。从60年代到80年代初销售额及纯利润增长达20倍。王安公司在其鼎盛时期年收入达30亿美元,王安本人也曾以逾20亿美元的个人财富跻身于美国10大富豪之列。但在信息时代的黎明之时,王安公司过早的陨落又不能令人扼腕叹息。
As a scientist, Wang An made outstanding contributions to the development of modern computers in magnetic pulse control and magnetic core storage. As a businessman, Wang An, who was founded in 1951, was once a well-known company on the dawn of the information age. From the 1960s to the early 1980s, sales and net profit increased by 20 times. Wang’s company had an annual revenue of 3 billion U.S. dollars in its heyday. Wang himself was among the 10 richest Americans in the world with more than 2 billion U.S. dollars worth of personal wealth. However, at the dawn of the information age, Wang’s untimely fall can not be sighed.
