The Silk Road trade resembles a chain because one merchant would buy a product off another and travel more down the Silk Road, let's say if all of the cheap silk is on the West part of Asia, a merchant would buy it and walk down the road and sell it for more then he bought it, the reason it's a chain is because merchants do it back and forth, the further they go, the more money it costs.
