阿尔瓦尔的大君曾用劳斯莱斯收集街上的垃圾作为报复

阿尔瓦尔的贾伊-辛格大君无法忍受劳斯莱斯展厅销售员的羞辱。因此,他从展厅买下了所有的汽车,然后要求阿尔瓦尔市政府用它们来收集街道上的垃圾。

很少有人知道,在第一次世界大战之前,劳斯莱斯共生产了两万多辆,其中近 20% 被运往印度。当时有近 230 位印度国王(Maharajas),而印度平均约有 2000 辆劳斯莱斯。印度国王和劳斯莱斯在当时有着紧密的联系。拥有劳斯莱斯曾经是一种骄傲。但拉贾斯坦邦阿尔瓦尔的一位著名国王曾经一次购买三辆汽车。1920 年,阿尔瓦尔大君贾伊-辛格在伦敦梅费尔区的街道上散步。他穿着普通的服装,走进了劳斯莱斯的展厅。沒有一位英国销售员理会贾-辛格大君,因为他认为他只是一个普通的印度穷人。

贾-辛格国王无法忍受这种羞辱,回到了自己的酒店房间。然后,他让仆人打电话给汽车展厅,告诉他们阿尔瓦尔城的国王要买几辆他们的汽车。随后,展厅里的所有销售员都排起了长队,以迎接国王的到访,展厅里还铺上了红地毯。随后,国王带着皇家风范参观了展厅。当时展厅里有六辆汽车,国王一口气买下了所有六辆汽车。他支付了包括送货费在内的全部款项。

六辆劳斯莱斯运到印度后,国王命令市政当局用这些汽车清扫城市街道。他还要求他们用这些汽车收集和运输城市各个角落的垃圾。一时间,消息传遍了全世界,头号汽车制造商劳斯莱斯彻底震惊了。他们的声誉和收入迅速下降。最后,劳斯莱斯向印度国王贾-辛格发出电报,为他们的行为道歉。他们还免费提供了六辆全新的汽车。国王随后要求市政当局和其他部门停止使用劳斯莱斯收集垃圾,他也接受了他们的道歉。


Maharaja Of Alwar Once As A Revenge Used Rolls Royce To Collect Garbage From The Streets
Maharaja Jai Singh of Alwar couldn't take humiliation from the salesman of Rolls Royce showroom. Thus, he bought all the cars from the showroom and then asked the Municipality of Alwar to use them for collecting garbage from the streets.

Not many of us know that before first world war more than twenty thousand Rolls Royce was built and almost 20 percent were shipped to India. At that time there were almost 230 Indian Kings (Maharajas) and on an average, there was around 2000 Rolls Royce in India. Indian Kings and Rolls Royce had a strong connection back then. Owning a Rolls Royce used to be a pride. But a famous king from Alwar, Rajasthan used to buy three automobiles at a time. In 1920, Maharaja of Alwar, Jai Singh was walking around the streets of Mayfair Area, London. He was in a normal attire and he walked into a showroom of Rolls Royce. Then a British salesman ignored Maharaja Jai Singh because he thought he is just an ordinary poor Indian.

King Jai Singh couldn’t take this humiliation and return to his hotel room. He then asked his servants to the call the showroom and tell them that King of Alwar city is going to buy few of their cars. After that, all the salesmen in the showroom were lined up to honour the King’s visit and a red carpet was rolled out in the showroom. Then the King visited the showroom with his royal appearance. At that time there were six cars present in the showroom, the King purchased all the six cars at a time. He paid the full amount including the delivery charges.

Once all the six Rolls Royce had been transported to India, the King ordered the Municipality to use these cars to sweep the streets of the city. He also asked them to use these cars to collect and transport garbage from every corner of the city. And in no time the news got spread in all over the world and the number one car manufacturer Rolls Royce was in total shock. Their reputation and revenue dropped rapidly. And finally, Rolls Royce sent a telegram apologizing for their behaviour to the Indian King Jai Singh. They also offered six more brand new cars at free of cost. The king then asked the Municipality and others to stop using the Rolls Royce for collecting garbage, he also accepted their apologies.
