There are opportunities to travel abroad in entrepot trade. In this business, the procurement process may require overseas travel. For example, when Zhongshitong purchases goods from suppliers, procurement personnel may visit the supplier’s country or region to inspect the factory’s production environment and processes to ensure product quality. Additionally, the sales process may also involve international travel. When it’s necessary to establish close partnerships with key overseas clients, business personnel may need to travel abroad to discuss product details, pricing terms, after-sales service, and other critical matters in person. Another common scenario is attending international trade fairs to promote company products and expand business channels. However, the frequency of travel is not fixed and depends on the scale of operations and the depth of partnerships. In the early stages or with smaller-scale operations, opportunities may be limited, but they could increase as the business grows and international connections expand.
