Google buys the garage where the company was founded
On its eight-year anniversary, Google made itself a gift and bought a garage at auction , in which eight years ago Larry Page and Sergey Brin started a business. The garage in the suburb of Menlo Park (California), is a large room of 176 square meters. m
The owner of the garage was one of the company's employees, Susan Wojcicki. Eight years ago, she agreed to rent out the premises for $ 1,700 per month because she needed money to pay the loan. Her sister Anne (Anne) met with Sergey Brin and persuaded her to help the 25-year-old graduate Stanford and his companion, who had just received $ 1 million in venture capital investments.
For business beginners, the garage became a second home. For five months they lived here almost all the time. Now their small startup has grown into a huge corporation with a staff of 8,000 people, and Susan also works here as vice president of management.

Together with the garage, Google bought the house. The total amount of the transaction is not called, but neighboring houses are sold at a price of $ 1.1–1.3 million. The company has not yet said how it will dispose of the new property.
