Land-based logistics, however, followed the same routes as other courier companies. That meant Future Express had no real advantage. In fact, its complicated transportation methods made it more troublesome to use, and many companies that couldn't be bothered simply gave up on it.
That was the main reason Xia Fenghua had gone to Wang Yue for help.
