The entrepot trade zone is like a "transfer station" for goods. Goods will stop here for a while, undergo some simple processing, and then be sent away. It can gather a large amount of logistics resources, making trade more efficient. Moreover, here, one can take advantage of the policy differences in different regions to earn price differences. However, one should pay attention to market dynamics, otherwise, it will be troublesome if goods are overstocked.
