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.

The Big Deal Part 1

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Morgan, Sherman, and Winston arrived at the main office of Axelsen & Nielsen, with Amelia leading the way. Winston, the man referred to by the New York Board of Transportation for the alternating system to be built in Washington D.C., was also with them.

He couldn't shake the feeling that something was off - it was unlike her to be so distant.

As they made their way through the office, Morgan couldn't help but wonder what had happened. Had there been an accident? Had production come to a halt? He knew that the company relied heavily on its assembly lines, and any disruption could spell disaster.

Morgan decided to break the silence and asked Amelia directly, "Is everything okay?"
