WHO ELSE BUT A MARWARI CAN DO THIS?
Preface
--------
It is well known that of all the communities in India,the ones most succesful in Business are the Marwaris.While in other communities some are succssful and some are not and the success rates may vary amongst the different communities,there is hardly a case of failure in business(atleast not that I know of)with Marwaris.
This is illustrated by a story which someone told me quite sometime back (I do not remember who and when)which I thought I will share with my Kavitanjali members thro'this column of Light Readings.
However before I do so,I would like to inform all my readers that when I narrated this story to the Chairman of the last Company I worked before my normal retirement
from service, he,himself being a Marwari,liked it so much that he made it a point to ask me to narrate this story to the audiance on every occasion of get together in the company.
I therefore shall now proceed to narrate this story thro'this column of Light Readings with the hope that those who read this story do find it humerous and interesting.The charecters mentioned ,other than Marwari,are purely illustrative and can be substituted by any other communities.I shall now proceed to tell the story.
Story
-----
A man puts up an advt.in the local News Paper asking for a person to go to the Outer Space.Three people apply viz one Bengali,One Punjabi and One Marwari.All three were interviewed simultaneously.
First the Bengali was asked what his charges would be.He said that he would expect a
payment of Rs ONE LAKH.
Next the Panjabi was asked for his fees and he replied Rs TWO LAKHS.When asked why so much when the Bengali was willing to settle for one lakh,the Punjabi replied that due to the element of risk involved in going to the outer spacs,he would leave one lakh with his wife for her security and the other One Lakh he would keep with him to invest in business on return if he successfully completes the space travel.
Now it was the turn of the Marwari to quote his price and he mentioned Rs Three Lakhs.When asked to justify against the other two quotes,he took the interviewer aside and told him in private that out of the Three Lakhs,he would pay the recruiter one lakh to select him,pay another one lakh to the Bengali and ask him to go to the Outer Space and invest the remaining one Lakh in his business.
Dear Reader.What do you say to this?Is it any wonder why Marwaris are always successful in business?
