With these franchisee businesses, they began to launch consumer card. By April 2008, they sold more than 10 thousand cards in nearly 1 years, and three shareholders made about 100 thousand yuan.

"But from this time on, our three shareholders also have different opinions. Two of them think that we should continue to promote our consumption card to earn cash, but I think we should continue to invest in the development of the company and provide value-added services to businesses. Because of different ideas, in October last year, another two shareholders withdrew from the company, and my entrepreneurial road also encountered the first low tide." Nie Mingyong said he thought about it and thought his way was right, because there was always a day of market saturation in selling cards. {page_break}
