Just a minute ago I had a chat with a friend. Among other subjects he mentioned that soon we would see quite a few lay-offs here in this industrial Mexican city. Most of them would obviously be at the level of average workers, but also some higher "ranks" will have to look for another job.

As I prefer to look at things from a positive point of view, I would like to consider this as an opportunity to give jobs to people. Problem is, right now I don't have any convincing ideas. Could anybody please offer some input?

It doesn't matter if you aren't quite sure if your idea is good. The major point is providing "food for thought". Most likely I would have to adapt your ideas to our national and local conditions anyway. So please just "chat away" and let me know what you think. - Thank you!

In order to provide some more thought and idea, need to know more what kinds of industries Mexico has now? And please bear in mind you position in the medium to high quality for the Mexican workers instead of fighting for the lower ends products productions. So we must know well first about what you can produce and what sorts of minerals and materials Mexico can supply.

About agricultural investment or colaborations, can put both Government oficals to discuss and meet, then we look for the potentail investors in China and Hong Kong , or even Taiwan to join. There is chance , there are interestings for all. Why we have to delay and over-look?
