Creating an Industrial Empire in 19th Century Parallel World

In a tragic accident, mechanical engineer Poul Nielsen and his best friend, civil engineer Jonathan Axelsen, are killed when a truck crashes into the coffee shop where they were hanging out. Suddenly, they find themselves transmigrated to a parallel world in the late 19th-century country of Avalonia. In this world, they'll need to work tirelessly to earn enough pennies to survive. But they won't settle for just getting by - they want to become the Edison, the Chrysler, the Rockefeller, the Carnegie, the Ford, and the Westinghouse of this new world. In a world without electricity, Poul and Jonathan decide to start an electric power distribution company. But that's not enough - they also want to build appliances and motors to make their business profitable. They see the opportunity to revolutionize ground transportation, and they start an automotive manufacturing company. They tackle huge infrastructure projects such as metro stations, skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels, and dams by starting their own civil engineering firm. They even invest in the arms manufacturing industry. But the road to success won't be easy. Fierce competition awaits them, as robber barons are willing to do everything to crush their competitors. Predator against predator, and government intervention. Poul and Jonathan must use all their engineering expertise and business acumen to navigate this treacherous landscape. Join Poul and Jonathan on their journey to become the wealthiest men in the world in a parallel universe where anything is possible.

After the Celebration

The industrialist duo took their time enjoying the party that they hosted. Dancing with their beautiful partner and having a drink with esteemed guests. The cheery and lively atmosphere in the ballroom is seemingly not ending anytime soon. But eventually, it will. 

Two hours later, the party is starting to die down as guests from all across the United States of Avalonia are starting to bid farewell to the industrialist duo, thanking them for their hospitality, and making their way to their own carriage waiting outside of the main office building.

The industrialist duo also thanked them for attending their party as they see them out of the ballroom. 

The ballroom filled with many people earlier was now mostly empty, with only a handful of people left behind cleaning up the remaining glasses and decorations. The industrialist duo decided to retire to their private office to discuss the success of the party and their plans for the future.
