Tips

usage
Contract-law term: a 行纪人 buys or sells for a 委托人 (principal) but signs in its own name - unlike ordinary agency (代理) where the agent signs in the principal's name. Read 行 as háng (trade), not xíng.
mistakes
Pronounced hángjì, not xíngjì. The 行 here means 'trade / profession' (as in 银行, 行业), not 'to go'.
