Around the World in 80 Trades - Mexico 1/2

Around the World in 80 Trades - Mexico Part1

Economist Conor Woodman just might be the smartest man in the City. Once a high-flying City trader, he decided instead he wanted to trade in real things that he could touch and smell. So Conor left his job and, with £25,000 from the sale of his flat, travelled across four continents and 13 countries trading in all kinds of products animal, mineral and vegetable with the aim of doubling his money. Despite his City contacts, international trade proves hard for Conor. In Mexico, Conor has 750 inflatable body boards and reckons that an endorsement from the country's most famous surfer will help them sell. Meanwhile, he hopes to sell 400 bottles of tequila bought in the actual town of Tequila for a sizeable mark up.
