Fifty years ago, Bruce, brimming with dreams, arrived in the undeveloped Jadeborough, hoping to carve out a successful career for himself.

Despite his wishes, he faced obstacles everywhere he turned, and to make matters worse, he contracted at serious illness that he couldn’t afford to treat.

Fortunately, he was not destined to die.

Just when he was on the brink of death, a woman appeared. Not only did she pay for his medical treatment, but she also took care of him with all her heart and soul.

During this time, sparks flew between the two, and they had a love child.

And so, Bruce secretly vowed at that moment, that once he recovered from his illness, he would work even harder to ensure a good life for that woman and their unborn child.

By the time he recovered from his illness and Patrick was born and when he was already envisioning a blissful family life, the woman suddenly disappeared.

Aside from leaving twenty thousand, she did not leave a single word.

At this point, Bruce’s eyes welled up with tears. “I reported her disappearance to the police, but at that time, there was no internet across the country. The social environment was harsh and underdeveloped. Looking for a person was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.”

So after searching for a while, Bruce gave up.

With that twenty thousand, he started a business in Jadeborough, opening a brewery, with baby Patrick.

Gradually, Firebird Group of today was established.

Finnegan appeared thoughtful. “She left you twenty thousand before disappearing?”

Twenty thousand holds considerable purchasing power today, and fifty years ago, it was an astronomical figure!

The simplest comparison would be that the land in Jadeborough, which was worth tens of millions today, could perhaps have been purchased for less than twenty thousand back in the day.
