????眾所周知，蘋果公司是由史蒂夫?喬布斯和史蒂夫?沃茲尼亞克在喬布斯家的車庫(kù)里創(chuàng)立的。

????從車庫(kù)走出的大公司還包括亞馬遜、谷歌、美泰、惠普和微軟——?jiǎng)?chuàng)業(yè)之初，比爾?蓋茨和保羅?艾倫也曾窩在新墨西哥州一家非常寒摻的汽車旅館開(kāi)發(fā)軟件。

????馬克?扎克伯格在哈佛大學(xué)宿舍創(chuàng)辦Facebook的故事已經(jīng)廣為人知，特別是在電影《社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)》上映之后。另一家誕生在大學(xué)宿舍的公司是戴爾，這家電腦公司是邁克爾?戴爾在德克薩斯大學(xué)宿舍創(chuàng)立的。不過(guò)還有許多公司誕生在讓人意想不到的地方，比如雜物間或地下室?，F(xiàn)在我們就來(lái)看看一些大企業(yè)的“龍騰之地”，以及這些地方如今的模樣。

????It’s common knowledge that Apple was started by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in the Jobs family garage.

????Other garage-founded titans include Amazon, Google, Mattel, Hewlett Packard, and Microsoft— which Bill Gates and Paul Allen also developed at the sketchy Sundowner Motel in New Mexico.

????Similarly, Facebook’s origins in Mark Zuckerberg’s dorm room at Harvard were already pretty well known, then became even more known after the release of the film The Social Network. Another tech company famously starting in a dorm was Dell, founded in Michael Dell’s room at the University of Texas.

????But many other companies have started in the unlikeliest of places, from a closet to a crypt. Here’s a look at some sites where a big business was once small — and what’s happening at those spots now.

????棒約翰比薩

????這家比薩連鎖巨頭如今在34個(gè)國(guó)家擁有4600多家門店，但這一切皆源自一個(gè)不起眼的酒吧雜物間。

????約翰?H?施德納年輕時(shí)在很多家比薩店工作過(guò)。1984年大學(xué)畢業(yè)后，他開(kāi)始在印第安那州杰斐遜維爾經(jīng)營(yíng)一家他父親與人合辦的酒吧：Mick’s Lounge。

????施德納賣掉了他的車，買下了另一位合伙人的股權(quán)。然后，他拆掉了酒吧的雜物室，安了一個(gè)比薩爐。他至今還記得，有一天晚上他們?cè)谀情g雜物室里做成了一筆2300美元的生意，他高興得上蹦下跳的樣子，仿佛他們已經(jīng)變得非常富有?！熬瓦@樣，生意一下子火起來(lái)了?！?/p>

????那家Mick’s Lounge酒吧如今還在營(yíng)業(yè)，但在棒約翰公司走上連鎖模式后，那間雜物室就不再屬于它了，而施德納也不再是這家酒吧的老板。

????Papa John's

????The pizza chain now has more than 4,600 locations in 34 countries, but it all started with a broom closet in a bar.

????As a young man, John H. Schnatter had worked at a lot of pizzerias. In 1984 after graduating college, he was managing a bar his father co-owned, Mick’s Lounge in Jeffersonville, Ind.

????He sold his car to buy out the other owner. Then Schnatter tore down the bar’s broom closet, installed a pizza oven, and got to work. He recalls jumping up and down with excitement the night they did $2,300 worth of business in that broom closet, thinking they were rich. “And then all of a sudden it took off.”

????Mick’s Lounge is still open and serving food, but once Papa John’s became franchised, the original was no longer a Papa John’s -- and Schnatter is no longer an owner of the bar.
