Most of the salesmen around the world tend to discriminate buyers when it comes to their products. Often times, they are pertaining to the way a person looks on whether they could afford their products or not.
But an Indian King, showed them that people don't need to look rich to be able to afford the luxury items.
This story is old but gold. It happened way back in 1920, when the Indian King, Maharaja was walking around in London and decided to go to the Rolls Royce showroom. When he was inquiring about the prices of a luxury car, he was ignored by the staff. They did not know that Maharaja was a royal king because of his simple clothing.
He was discriminated just like other Indians. So when he got back to his hotel room, he instructed his servants to call the Rolls Royce Cars and tell them that the king, Maharaja of Alwar City is interested in buying their cars.
A glamorous welcome awaited the king. With red carpet and the salesmen were lined up. He bought 6 luxury cars in cash along with the delivery costs.
When the luxury cars arrived at their place, the king told the people that these luxury cars will be used to clean and collect garbage in the city.
The words of the king spread quickly and soon the revenues of the Rolls Royce cars dropped. The company sent him a telegram apologizing for their behavior and offered 6 cars for free as well. The king accepted and the municipality stopped using the cars to collect garbage.
